Madison Home Journal: We
know of several young men, residents
81 this city, whose conduct is worthy
Of imitation. One, graduate of Mer-
GER College, and we believe, with the
highest honors, has taken hold of the
plow and is working daily in the
ield with his hired help, with de.
spirit of making something
or himself, instead of loaing around
he streets and living off of his par
Ants. Whilst another young man, a
graduate, we believe, of one of the
colleges of Athens, is to be found
daily following his pillow and endeay-
oring to make an honest living by
the sweat of his brow. Whilst two
others, raised in affluence, are TO be
found at the brick yard, near the
city, hard at work, earning an hon.
est living. Still another. raised in
easy circumstances, can be seen ear
rying brick TO masons employed in
building Col. Fosters stores on the
corner Of Court square and Main
street. All honor TO such young |
men we cannot speak in too high |
praise of you. Remember, YOU ere
watched by men of influence, and |
yhiist eos asy be holding these po- |
siIions nQwSf yep continue as you
have begun, It viii not be ieIg be-
fore you will work yourself into
more important ones.
We trust our young men who
have no employment will follow the
example 80 commendable of those
young men of Madison. 4 Word 20
the wise is sufficient.
