Words of Wisdom.

There is none made so great but that he may both need the help and service. and stand in fear ot the power and un- kindness, even of the meanest of mor- tals.
 Ceremonies differ in every country, but true politeness is ever the same.
 A man has no more right to utter un- truth to his own disparagement than to his own praise. Truth is absolute. It is obligatory under all circumstances and in all relations.

 Poverty is, except where there is an actual want of food and raiment. thing much more imaginary than real. The shane Ot poEerty-the shame of being thought poor-is great and fatal weak ness, though arising in this country from the fashion of the times themselves. A good, honest laugh at good, honest joke or bit of sarcasm, rubs out the gath ering wrinkles of care; but an ill-tem-
 pered joke is like poisonous arrow, which makes 8 wound and leaves its poison after it has been withdrawn. Friends are discovered rather than made; they are people who are in their own nature friends; only they don't know each other; but certain things, 1 like poetry, music and paintings are like l the treemason's sign-they reveal the I initiated to each ether.

A New Chairman and New
Committee


His day j. l.. SpanglSr, Esq, as
sumes, under the rules OF the party,
tbs. duties'of the chairmanship of the
Democratic committee of Centre coun-
ty for the ea-~iss. year inplace of d.
T. Fortney, Esq, who seryed in that
capacity ably aud faithfully during
the year 1879. In his retirement we
believe Mr.. Fortney takes with him
the good will and respect of large
ajority of the party in Centre coun-
ty. His fidelity to the Democratic
cause and the excellent result of the
election in our county last fall,
brought about largely by his activity
and energy, in the face Of adverse cir
cumstances and some unjust criticism,
richly deserve an expression of COM
mendation and most cheerfully do we
give it. There are still higher honors
in store for Mr.. Fortney and beyond a
peradventure the party will award
them to him in due time.
With the announcement of this
change in the official head Of the party
we arealso enabled through the cour-
tesy of Mr.. Spangler to lay before the
readers of the DEMOCRAT a list of
the members of the county committee
selected in the various election dis
tricts TO aid him in his work. The
list seems to be made up of active, in
influential and working Democrats
excellent material throughout for a
committeeman will no doubt give
good satisfaction to the party in all
sections of the county. We predict
that Chairman Spangler will prove a
host in himself. He is young, able
and energetic, has. good Judgment, ex.

But a word Of caution to our friends
Too much must not be expected from

Everything must not be left to them
The rank and file of the party have
something TO do. Let us aid them tc
the extent of our power in the good
work on hand. Let all of us who
have the triumph of correct theorie,
of government at heart-the true
theories of JefFersonian Democracy
and desire the success of Democratic
principles give helping hand to the
cause, and, our word for it, Centr,
county will give such an account OF

tonish even ourselves, let alone tn,

ATTORNEY GENERAL PALMER has
given the opinion that building and
loan associations are subject to three
mill tax under the general revised law
passed by the Legislature last winter.
This is an important decision, and it
is probable n decision of the courts
will be invoked by the building and
loan associations by resisting payment
of the taxes. The Attorney General
has also decided that the loan and
bonded Indebtedness of corporations
are liable TO a tax of four mills, to be
deducted from the interest due on
such loans, and TO be paid into the
State Treasury, unless the bonds are
held by nonresident holders, who are
exempt by decision of the Supreme
Court.
