NEVER FoRGEr ANYTHING
A successful business man SAYS
there were two things which he
learned when he was eighteen
which were afterwards Of great
use to him-namely, never to
lose anything, and never 10 forget
anything" An old lawyer sent
him with an important paper,
with certain instructions what to
do with it..
But" inquired the young man,
suppose I lose it, what shall |
do then..?!"
The answer was with the Ut
most EMPHASIS
"You must not lose it."
Il don't mean to-" said the
young man ; "but suppose /
should happen to-"
But l say you must not hap
pen to! I shall make no pro
visions for any such occurrence.
You must not lose it !"
This put a new train Of thought
into the young mans mind, ani
he found that if he was deter
mined to do a thing, he could de
it. He made such provision
against every contingency, tina
he never lost anything. He fount
this equally true about Forgetting
If a certain matter Of import
ance was to be remembered, h
7pinnei it down on his mind, fast
lened it there, and made it stay.

THE RAILROAD.

1t is really refreshing to see
convincing evidences at last oil
the early completion Of the rail-
road through this route to Texas
We nave been incredulous when
ever any report was started about
the building Of that road until
now. simply because we have
been deceived so long and often
by spectators, and the magnl'
fcent dash and flourish Of North
ern companies, who have ever and
anon in the past sprung up like
mushrooms, hourished awhile
bIusteringly, and after decelvlng
everybody sneakingly vanished,
owing sub-contractors, and leav'
ING the road bed in a worse con-
dition than it was before they
touched it. Such has been the
experience Of the people here in
regard to railroads, and no won
der we had schooled ourselves to
believe nothing in record to the
same unless the undertaking was
managed as a home enterprise
Such is the case now The
Morgan Railroad and Ship Com
pany is an institution peculiar Il
Louisiana, and the manner IL
which they have gone to work
SHOW plainly that they mean bus
mess. All our fears and incred
Utility have been dissipated, AM
our very natures are filled wit
. an abiding faith in that Company
determination to construct speed
I ly the much talked-of, long.e,
+ pected and much wished-for raj
road, which for nearly a qnarte
| of century we have been assure
was looming shortly"
Mr.. ?andelly, the superinte'
dent, and member of this Con
pany, has been in this part OF tt
parish for several days, and wit
in that short time has made a
y the necessary contracts, and COZ
y menced moving the great woi
forward. In september the ira
