Iris n notcrinrs fact that the
general complain, of hard times ia
heard and read by ihc people of
tho South daily. Whether We have
or in other words, experience real
hard times in this part Of our
"moral vineyard is for those who
actually experience It TO cay, and
tho cry (Which Is only habit
ccmes to us daily, even from those
who are actually making money
ont OF their trade, occupation or
profession. There are at least two
classes Of people all over the world,
viz those who work for q living,
and those who live from the earn
ings Of thosc who do work. The
latter may bo divided and snb-di
vidcd into men and women os mary
different trades or honorable and
legitimate occupations, some OF
whom are o. necessary in a
community as the man who tills
tho soil, for instance, tho doctor,
lawyer, minister, blacksmith or
manufacturer, tho merchaut, editor
or the choolteacbcr, whose services
arc indispensable, yet we hear Of
tho farmer complaining of hard
times, and charging all the balance
OF tho world with bringing it on,
when IN fact we know by sad expo
r,cnce that every msn makes his
own hard times BY Encouragement
of hrs estate, by trying to speculate
in scme article be knows nothing
about, by trying to mcrchsndis
when be knows nothing about the
business, AID by various anil many
other improper acts Of his own, he
brings upon himself the hard times
90 of,on complained OF, when the
samo might be avoided. Then let
every individual stick closely to
his or her profession or occupation,
and work daily to attain tho high
cat drgrec in that profession or oc-
cupation, never depend on others
to do that which you can perform
better yourself, save what you can
from your daily eanlngs, and my
word for it, yon will never complain
of hard times again. Bat so long
~ you try to carry on all tho dit
fcrent kinds of business yon see
Others carrying on around you, and
desert the business you best under
stand, just so long will you meet
with divorsities, and rs an excuse
for your misfortune, complain.
Now let US attend strictly to our
several different avocations of life,
quit patronizing humbug advor'is.
crs and humbug institutions, live
tor those who love us, and we'll
bc happy and prosperous people.
"OuR esteemed contemporary
tho Independent Aarkansian, com
mcnting on our article on Judge
Cypcrt, says:
We cannot agree with Bro. Lynn
that Judge Cypert is deserving OF
censurc, but rathed give him credit
for an bonest cndeavor to bring the
guilty to justice, which they are SO
likely to escape under the lame act
of our last legislature.
1t cannot be an "honcst cndeav or
10 bring the guilty to justice" Tor a
judge TO dodge tho responsibility OF
pronounclng tho the law, and at the
same time throw out y drag net Tor
the innocent and guilty alike. This
law 10 either constitutional or not.
il II is constitutional. Judge Cypert
has no jurisdiction OF mlsdcmeanors
and can make no order In such
cases. Ii unconstitutional, his ju-
risdictiou Is perfect, and he ought
80 to declare aud act. A wishy-
washy, shilIy shally judge may
bring Disgrace TO the beach and
contempt to himself, but never
criminals to justice. The legislature
makus the law, tho judge admins
ters it, and good or bad, if il be law
II must be administered if It is not
law, it is tor the judiciary to say
so."-Jacksonport Herald.
