VIZ rablis!r on first page, n little
story, which We commend to the
thoughtful consideration Of all who
owe small 'sebts, and who think their
insignifisuner sufficient excuse for
dcferring tiiepayment. To the needy,
small sums nresometimetimes of vital
Importance, and 70 Is often not only
unjust but inhumam TO withhold the
small piltauce due, and forgetfulness
Is no sufficient plea for nom-payment.
lShort memories should not borden
themselves with trivial matters, ard
the owners of such should pay as
they go. The business of some men
is made up entirely of small sums,
and consiterate patrons will always
bear It In mind that the sum total of
such business Is made up Of small
amounts without which that business
must stop. We have often thought
that the. plea Of forgetting the insig-
nificant dues IL mere aTectation, IN
nine cases out of ten, and that men
who so clearly remember small sums
due to themselves, can AZ we'll re-
member the pittance they owe to
others.

One Of our oldest and best citizens
exhibited to us French coin of silver,
bearing date in lT29. When he mar
rietl in 1925 hehad five dollars besides
this coin. which is apparently worth
about fifty cents. He paid the
preacher, who performed the marri-
age ceremony, the five dollars, and
gave the old coin to his bride. That
was all the money they had; but
they never parted with 1t. They
have lahored together since then and
succeeded in gathering around them
u fine estate; but the old coin Is one
of the souvenirs of the past, recalling
to mind those happy days when the
young couple, inexperienced and
high in hope, cut their cable, launch
ed into the world and fondly. dream
ed each wind and star their friend.
The associations which cluster about
1t are of character % sacred to he
broken by placing 1t In the hands OF
strangers.

/ asked this question at Angel Is
land Of a body Of regular Offices.
The answer delivered by cool old
veteran was:
"Joe johnson. Joe cleaned his re-
treat up the peninsula before McClel-
Ian as smooth as a threshing floor.
He didn't leave meal of victuals or
all old pair Of shoes. He amused
Sherman around Atlanta one hun
dred days with feints at an offensive
movement when he hardly COM
manded an effective pOor-hotise. Joe
Johnston was always a clear soldier
of prescience and nice strategy ard
dexterity. After Atlanta, old Sena.
tor Wigfall came up to J ohnston and
said:
Joe, l saw Bragg down at Savan-
nah, and he says you're derned
luOl.u
" Did Bragg say that of me ?" said
Johnston, incredulously.
Certainly. Several people heard
1t. That's what he said you were.''
" How could General Bragg have
reason to denounce me in such
terms?"
ooh he said 1t took you one hun
dred days to fall back ON Atlanta,
and he could have done it in five VI
