Tlio hanging of George Washington
(col.) in Atlanta last Friday was the first
hanging Fulton county lias had in twenty
years.
Whether a boy is from country or city,
rich or poor, weak or strong, talented or
not, will and work are sure to succeed.
Wishes fail, but wills prevail. Labor is
luck.—Marietta Journal.
The Cedartown Standard says the ma¬
chinery for a three-thousand-spindle cot¬
ton mill is en route to that place, and
work on the building will be commenced
at once and finished in a few weeks. The
iwon is also to have a plow factory.
A Dakota farmer sold his son-in-law
one-half of a cow, and then refused to
divide the milk, claiming that he had sold
the front half of the beast. He also re¬
quired the son-in-law to provide all the
feed the animal consumed, and compell¬
ed him to carry all the water to her three
times a day. Recently the cow hookecl
the old man, -and he is now suing the
son-in-law for damages.—Springfield Re
Tlicre arc ‘“best farmers” / m every

the business and attend to it properly.
It will pay the less experienced farmer
to find out how these men are conducting
their work. A really good farmer, as
rule, is gratified to be recognized
such by his neighbors and will
fully give them the benefit of his experi¬
ence.
■ Tlie War Debt Growing.
The war debt, as represented in the
pension list, is larger now by a vast sum
than it was in I860. In other words, the
people are paying §17,000,000 more inter¬
est in pensions annually than they were
the year after the war.
The republicans, having satisfied them¬
selves, apparently, thatthe union soldiers
fought for money—that their motives
were mercenary rather than patriotic—
have carried out their pension programe
until the disbursements for that purpose
represent a public debt for over four
thousand millions of dollars at 3 per
cent, whereas tlio bonded war debt was
only two thousand seven hundred mil¬
lions.
This year the pension list will cost tlio
people one hundred and thirty millions,
which is fifty millions more than the cost
of Germany’s great standing army.
In addition to the vast sums here rep¬
resented, the extravagance of the billion
dollar congress must be taken into con¬
sideration.—Constitution.
Many years practice has given C. A.
Snow & Co., Solicitors of Patents at
Washington, D. C., unsurpassed succes
in obtaing patents for all classes of inven¬
tion. They make a specialty of rejected
cases, and have secured allowance of
many pateuts that had been previously
rejected. Their advertisement in anoth¬
er column, will bo of interest to invent¬
ors, patentees, manufacturers aud all
who have to do with patents.
GRAINS OF GOLD.
Man should bo ever better than he
seems.
Trouble always come to those who are
looking for it.
It always requires move time to get out
of trouble tan into it.
The worst and least unendurable of all
our ills are the imaginary ones.
One who kindly submits to boing told
of his faults is on the way to reform.
Neverspeak ill of neighbors, as it gives
them a license to talk about you.
Many people have so much business
on hand that they never accomplish any¬
thing.
The sins of ignorance arc most numer¬
ous, but the sins of knowledge most dan¬
gerous.
From the lowest depth there is a path
to the loftiest height.
It is a great defect in men to wish to
rule everything, except themselves.
Oh, banish the fears of children! Con¬
tinual rains upon the blossoms are
hurtful.
Find earth where grows no weed, and
you may find a heart where no erroi
grows.
Nothing is ever done beautifully,
which is done in rivalship; nor nobly,
which is done in pride.
In a world there is so much to be done,
how happy that there is so large a por¬
tion of daylight; in a world where there
is so much to be suffered, liow merciful
that there is also so much light.
Farmers who feed their pigs and cattle
good corn, and pay no attention to what
kind of books or papers their children
are reading, make a big mistake.
What a pity it is that men should take
such immense pains, as some do, to
learn those things, which, as soon as they
become wise, they take so much pains to
unlearn.
Catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatism and
most diseases originate from impure
blood. Cleanse it, improve it, purify it
with De Witt’s Sarsaparilla and health is
restored, strength regained. Sold by

The Worst “Bad Company.”
The worst “bad company” that a hoy
or girl can be in is the company of a bad
book. Evil associates are harmful
enough, but they do not injure a young
person as evil books do. There is a sub¬
tle, and at the same time imperative,
quality in the influence of a printed page,
which every body feels. You read a
statement, and unconciously you believe
it, and yield up your mind to it. simply
because it confronts you in the dignity
of type. But let a person whom you
know make the same statement, orally,
and you will think twice before you ac¬
cept it. This is where the danger of a
bad comes in. It gets a special hearing
and exercises a peculiar influence, which
a bad person cannot. Besides it can say
the same evil thing over and over again,
in this same facinating words, as often as
your curiosity prompts you to seek it.
Therefore, if any boy or girl wishes to
keep pure, and manly, and honest—and
we trust all boys and girls do—the wise
thing for them is to shun books that have
a bad name. And if you do not know
whether a book is good or had, ask the
advice of your parents and teachers as to
what you should read. Do not be entic¬
ed by a low curiosity to see what a bad
book is like. Slum it as you would pitch,
or poison, or quicksand, or any other vile
or dangerous tiling. The world is full of
good and charming books. Keep com¬
pany with them. They will make yon
noble and better all your life.—Ex.
A LittK Girl’s Experience In a Lighthouse
Mr. and Mis. Loren Treseott are keep¬
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach.
Mich., aud and are blessed with a daugh¬
ter, four years old. Last April sbo was
taken down with measles, followed with
a dreadful Cough and turning into a fe¬
ver. Doctors at homo and Detroit treat¬
ed her, but in vain, she grew woase rap¬
idly, until she was a mere “handful
bonas.”.—Then she tried Dr. King’s
New Discovery and after the use of two
and a half bottles, was completely cured.
They say Dr. King’s New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you
get a trial bottle free at Neill & Almon’s
Drugstore.
A I’EltT YOUNG MAN.
See that half-grown man? Ho never
will know as much again as ho doos now
at the ripe age of 20. When he gets to be
50, when his hair is grizzled and his hopes
are like the dead leaves that cling to No¬
vember trees, he will look back upon
theso years of rare wisdom and colossal
effrontery and blush a little, perhaps, at
the recollection. Now he has no rever¬
ence for a woman or for God. He sneers
at good in a world whose threshold he
has barely crossed, as a year old child
bright stand in the doorway of his nur¬
sery and denounce what was going on in
the drawing-room. Most of the scathing
things that are said about domestic feli¬
city, and the sneers that are bestowed on
love, and the gibes that are launched as
established religions; ail the jokes at the
expense of noble womanhood and the
witticisms that are lavished upon the old
fashioned virtues spring from the gigan
brain of the youth of the period.—
Marietta Journal.
Use «>f Hot Water.
Ilot water is one of the best among
simple remedies, says The Ladies’ Home
Journal. For instance, headache almost
always yields to the simultaneous appli
cation of hot water to the feet and back
of the head.
A towel folded several times and dip¬
ped in hot water, and quickly rung out
and applied over the toothache or neu¬
ralgia, will generally afford prompt re¬
lief.
A strip of fiannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water and
rung out and then applied around the
neck of a child that has the croup will
sometimes bring relief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freely half au hour
before bedtime is helpful in the case of
constipation and has a most soothing ef¬
fect upon the stomach.
A goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast, has cured thou¬
sands of indigestion, and no simple rem¬
edy is more widely recommended by phy¬
sicians to dyspeptics.
