Work and Win.

Whatever you try to do in life, try
with all your heart to do we'll what
ever you devote yourself to, devote
yourselfto completely; in great aims
and small, be thoroughly in earnest.
Never believe it possible that any
natural or improved ability can claim
immunity from the companionship
of the steady, plain, Woodworking
qualities, and hope to gain its end.
There is no such thing as such fulfil
ment on this earth. Some happy
talent and some fortunate opportun-
ity may form the two happy sides of
the ladder on which some men
mount, but the rounds of that ladder
must be made Of stuff to stand wear
and tear; and there is no substitute
for thorouh- going, ardent, sincere
earnestness. Never put one hand to
anything on which you cannot throw
your whole self; never affect depre.
citation of your work, whatever it is,
These you will find to be golden rules.

Are We 20 have stree. lamps ;


TO have our streets lit up the
coming winter or to continue to
stub our toes and gnash our teeth
in outer darknesssis the question
which now agitates the public
mind of GAINESVILLE. How long,
oh ! city fathers, are the tax payers
to ask this reasonable and pertinent
question and receive no satisfactory
answer. The people prefer light
rather than darkness, and the time
for lighting the streets of this city is
now at hand. Ask any citizen
what ne thinks OF such an under
taking and his reply will be 81 for
one am heartily in favor of it," If
so, why not commence this fall and
winter us well as any other time.
The Gas Company is now partly a
home institution, and has greatly
reduced, within the past few
months, the price of gas from 81 to
50 per 1000 cubic feet. The cry be-
fore was that the price charged for
gas was too high. This cannot
justly be urged now; besides, the
Gas Company is ready and willing
at this time to make "a liberal re-
duction for street lighting purposes.
They go further and propose, so we
understand, to supply the defcien-
cy in mains by laying them in any
direction, provided the city and cit
liens along the line will agree to
take the gas and consume enough
to justify the expense. 1t is stated
that the corporate authorities do not
believe it would be proper to light
the streets of only a portion of the
city. This may be so, but let us at
least begin by lighting up the bust
ness thoroughfares, and the side
streets can be added as the mains
are laid. We haye recently noticed
that since the late reduction many
merchants and private houses have
discarded coal-oiI lamps and re-
taken gas as being safer, cleaner and
much cheaper in the end. We be-
lieve it will be universally used the
coming winter in every quarter of
the city where the pipes run, and if
additional mains are laid, and the
city agrees to use it, it will become
popular, the fashion as it were, and
we will have a city brilliantly illu-
minated with Il fine quality of
clear, pure gas; a consummation de-
Voutly to be wished. Talk is
cheap, you say. Well, let the
proper parties take this matter in
hand and see what virtue there is
in an honest. trle effort.

SUSPENSION OF TAXES.


From all over the state we hear
the people are coming up and cheer
fully paying their taxes for 1881 in
stead Of tagging back and wrangl-
ing over a postponement until 1882.
Every day we become the more
convinced that those who have any
taxes to pay are greatly more in
favor Of paying them now than
Of having them piled up douhly
against them next year. They
have already had, thanks to the
would-be patriotic low tax legisla-
ture of 1879, an iinpalatable taste Of
these double payments, and have
felt the hardship that this unwise
postp0nement has already entailed
upon them, and don't intend to be
seduced into any such trap again
il they can help it. anybody who
knows anything about taxes knows
that there can only be one tax for
each year, and that the reason why
the taxes for 1880 are being collected
now is that the low-tax legislature
of 1879, in a near-sighted and fool
hardy effort to serve the ''dear PEG
pie" put off the collection until this
fall, whereas, under the old law,
the taxes would have been collected
in the early part of this year, when
the people had money, and would
have long ago paid them and
forgotten it. The principle and ex-
perience of every man who has a
private debt to pay is just the same
when applied to the payment of
taxes. You let a man put off the
payment of his private debt, when
it is due, just because it is not ex-
actly convenient for him to pay it
at the time, and the chances are
that when it is again presented,
with accumulated interest, you will
find him, even if more able, less
willing to pay.
Why not, then, look this grave
question squarely in the face and
meet it like men? If they are
to be paid, as every sensible man
knows they must be, sooner or
later, then the best plan is to pay
when due. We believe we would
be as slow as any paper in the land
TO oppose measure that would re-
dound 20 the prosperity and happi-
ness of the good people of Tennes-
see, but we are conscientious in this
matter, and always hope to have
the courage of our convictions and
to speak openly and above board
on all subjects bearing upon the
vital interests of the people of the
state. We acknowledge the hard
ship of payment at this unfortunate
time, but we believe even this has
been greatly exaggerated. How
ever this may be, we cannot advo-
cate a measure which we honestly
believe would ultimately bring
upon the people greater hardship
and burden than prompt payment
at the present time.

GEN. RuRNsEDE,s DEATH.


Senator "A. X. Burnside died sud-
denly of heart disease at Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, on. last Tues
day morning. He was born in
Liberty, Union county, Indiana,
May %, 1921, and consequently was
81 years of age at the time of his
death. At the age OF nineteen he
went to West Point rs Il cadet, and
graduated there In 1917. He Ell
tered the army and was sent TO
New Mexico, where he distin-
guished himself in conflict with the
Indians. He afterwards resigned
the army, and remained out until
the outbreak OF the late civil war,
when he was appointed colonel of a
company OF Rhode Island volun-
teers. He made fine reputation
in the army, and was made briga-
dier-general after Bull Isun, but
was badly worsted at Fredrieks-
burg. He figured prominently at
the siege Of Knoxville, and was
present during the operations at
Petersburg. Was elected governor
of Rhode Island in S66-re-elected
several times, and was sent to the
U. S. Senate in 1875, to succeed
Sprague. H@ was reelected last
year. He was greatly respected in
his own state and personally liked
everywhere.

A visit to the Public school i'm
CIarkSViIIc

A visit to the Public school i'm
CIarksViIlc.
had the exquisite pleasure OF
visiting the GAINESVILLE Public
school Friday last, which confirmed
in my mind the truths I have so
often listened to, viz: the advan-
tages of this school over many
others; the untiring energy of the
teachers, and the care which they
take of pupils under their charge.
This we saw and more, for we were
both pleased and surprised at the
order and regularity. Experience
and observation teach us that tits
only under the care of unrivaled
disciplinarians that such proficiency
may ever be attained much less in
the short space of two weeks. But
such may be expected under the di-
rection of a superintendent so affa-
bic, as well as intelligent, as the
talented Prof. Perkins.
We regret that our visit could not
have been more lengthy, and would
congratulate and encourage the citi-
zens of our county seat in this
grand enterprise.
