Stick to the Farm.

In the long lists Of business houses
and lots advertised for sale for taxes,
which we find among our exchanges,
none Of them are owned by farmers.
Very recently while some men have
made money speculating in cotton, a
large number have lost it in tile same
way. If true to himself and his farm
the owner Of that farm in the long
run is about as happy, lives as COM
fortably and has about as little to
annoy and try him as man can have
at any other business. The SUCCESS
ful merchant Of Atlanta brings skill,
forethought, energy, economy and
Judgment to his business. Now,
farmer, you do the same. There is
no royal road to learning; there are
no crowns without thorns-in fact
there are various old sayings and
adages that may he applied to farm
ing. BE true to your farm, give il
your time and attention. Get you
some agricultural books and papers
and read them, and if you find in
them new ideas and new methods
which SEEM reasonable, try them.
Plant cotton not only 10 make all you
can at as little expense as possible,
but so cultivate and handle it as to
put q desirable article in market.
AS OF cotton so let it be of corn,
wheat, oats, in fact Of all you grow
or raise. You cannot make u fortune
Oh farm in one or two seasons, but
persistent labor on that farm will
bring a sure reward. The foundation
Of our national wealth and strength
is agriculture, and it will literally
support that man who will engage in
it properly.-Atlanta Constitution.

to come back to the same point in the
situation in the end. f.
Whatever be the positions or views
OF our representatives, they may rest
assured they have the most complete
CONFIDENCE of their constituents. We
know they are honest men, end will
act unselishly and squarely through
out this political tussle, and if they
err at all, we knew it will be, on the
line of fearlessly standing by, what
they esteem, the requirements of the
constitution at any cost" n.

How to GET AIonu,

Don't stop to tell stories in busi-
ness hours.
If you have place Of business, be
found there when you are wanted,
No man can get rich by sitting
around doors or saloons.
Never "fool" in business hours.
Have ordes. aSstem, regularity md
.pfoinptncss. ,s
Do not meddle with business OF
which Your know nothing.
Do not kick every one in your path.
More miles can be made in one day
by going steadily than by stopping.
Pay So you go.
a man of honor respects his word
rs he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you can not afford
to, simply because it is fashionable.
Learn TO say no. No necessity ol
swapping it out dog fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully.
Learn TO think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead, rather than behind,
the times.
Young men, cut this out, and il
their is any folly in the argument
let us know.

The Female Heart.

The female heart may be compar-

ed; let the mind of the young and

men, though undiminished in power,
will be like the diamond Of the de.

Men Wanted.

The great want Of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from centre to cir
cumference, true to the hearts core.
Men who wifi comtiemis wrong III
friend or foe, in themselves as we'll
as Others. Men whose consciences
are as steady as the needle to the
pole. Men who will stand for the
right if the heavens totter and the
earth reels. Men who can tell the
truth, and look The work, and the
devil right in the eye. Men that
neither brag nor run. Men that that
neither flag nor finch. Men who
can have courage without shouting to
it. Men in whom the courage of
everlasting life runs still, deep and
strong. Men who do not cry nor
cause their voices to be heard on the
streets; but who will not fail nor
be discouraged till judgment be set
on the earth. Men who know their
message and tell it. Men who know
their places and fill them. Men who
know their own business. Men who
will not lie. Men who arc not too
lazy to work nor too proud to be
poor. Men who are willing to cat
what they have earned ana wear
what they have paid for.
