A Word to YOun0 Men.

Cheerfully bow to your position
young man, but remember that it is
your prerogative to make the best
of it. Remember, too, that it is
an unworthy ambition which hopes
to get rich by credit, to have skill
without study, mastery without
apprenticeship, power through
packed jury or caucus, or wealth
by fraud. Those who think they
are in possession by such process,
possess something else, and are
but passing the steps from decep-
ton to infamy and ruin of them
selves. Give an occasional leisure
hour the study of your govern
ment and the theory upon which
it is founded; and never forget
that government is best which
honors and promotes virtue and
worth wherever found, thus estab-
fishing an incentive to the produc-
ton of brave and excellent char
acters. That government is the
worst where virtue and worth in
cur suspicion, and its honors are
given to those possessing sufficient
policy to be recognized as the ia
vorite of the ruling powers. What
ever may be the social, playful,
genial qualities of your heart,look
well to your head and train the
mind to sober and serious thought.
In that little word of FIVE letters
THINKS involvedmore of veal
or woe, of success or failure, than
in any other word of our language.

A HERO.
A Greene County Young Man Proves
Himself True Blue.

The Augusta News, Of Wednes.
day, contains an account of a hero
ic deed by fireman ON the Geor-
gia railroad.
'The incident happened as the
train was approaching Stone
mountain and about a mile east of
that station. AS the engine near
ed the track raiser's home, Engin-
eer Goodwin discovered in front on
the track a little child not more
than year and q half. old. The
train was running at the rate of
ten miles an hour, and the engin-
eer Immediately reversed the en-
gine and blew down brakes.
Thass precautions we're too late
however, as the engine could not
be stopped in time to save the
straying little wanderer. Fire
man Harvey Carey saw the peril
of the little one, and
without further thought that its
rescue at any hazard leap
ed from the rushing en-
gine, actually outran it and
snatched the baby from the track
just as the wheels Of the merciless
mogul were ready to run over the
innocent and thoughtless child.
The train was stopped as soon as
possible and all hands gathered
around to congratulate the brave
young fireman and see the baby
face and form as happy and as
safe as whenit strayed from it's
mothers door. That mother, too,
was there, her thankful heart over
flowing with joyful tears, for from
her cottage she had seen the thrill
ing incident Andwas flying to the
spottoo late to save her darling, but
in time to bless its strong young
rescuer.
Mr.. Harvey Carey, the gallant
young rescuer, is q Greene county
boy. HIS parentsireside at Oco-
nee station and are worthy and
true people. They must be proud
of their noble boy, and his daunt-
less bravery in rescuing the little
babe.

Three Pounds of Iron in Him.

A professional carpet layer said
to a New York reporter: I re-
member distinctly the first tack I
ever swallowed. Twas then learn
ing carpet laying. I was helping
to put down a fine blanket" in
Vanderbilt's residence in New
York. I had my mouth full of
tacks and one Of them slipped
down my throat before l knew it.
It scared me to death. 1 sprang
to my feet, spit the tacks out of
my mouth and declared that 1
would die because l had swallow
ed q tack. The other workmen,
all old hands with stomachs full
of tacks, laughed at me and told
me I'd get used to it. Well, after
swallowing that first tack I was
careful how I filled my mouth
for a long time but finally another
and another tack went down until
/ became accustomed to it, and
now ] don't care a cent for swal-
lowing a tack. I have been lay
ing carpets for years and I guess
I have gotten outside of three
pounds of iron since 1 begun.

Drop the GuanO Sprinkler and Call off
That Darkey.

we copy the followlng timely
and sensible article from the Au-
gusta Phoenix, and commend the
profound consideration of it's ev-
cry proposition to our farmers.
They have yet time to partially
correct the grave error they are
making; the question is, will they
do so?
"f the Southern planter will
just drop the guano sprinkler for
a moment, and call off that darkey
who is pokina cotton seed into ev-
cry crack in the land, the Phoenix
will tell him something it will pay
him to know. There will be a
war, We believe, between England
and Russia. 1t may come about
before this paper gilds your home.
This war will, in time, involve
other of the great powers of Eu-
rope which are Jealous of the
growth Of Russia. or which depri-
cate the spread of her peculiar
civilization. England is the mar
ket for Russia. This market will
be closed at the first hostile move
ment. Russia will turn to Amer
lea for provisions and arms. Now,
be it remembered, that the Rus
SLAMS do not carry cotton guns in
60 battle, nor do they eat cotton
bales. The very first large order
on this country for bread-stuff will
send up -four SO high that all the
yeast in the South could not rise
high enough to reach a barrel of
it. Are you going to plant cotton
at nine cents to purchase bread at
twenty cents? Do you know that
a war in Europesjust now would
bring upon this section a condi-
ton bordering on a famine before
the next winter sets in? Why?
Because there will be no exchange
for your cotton, and you can't eat
it 1t will rot on your hands.
Then, how are you to keep your
mouths fed? At the North there
will be an abundance-enough to
feed the world. But this fact will
only give a new terror to your
condition, for you will not have
the money to purchase the need
full means of satisfying your hun
ger.
Do you see the logic of human
economy? Or do you intend to lie
down on the bed of bewildering
cotton, with guano bag under
your head, and welcome poverty
and despair? Come, farmer, be q
man! Cheer up. Just pick away
that little cotton pellet you have
cast into that furrow, and drop in
a kernel of corn. Then, next fall
let's see you smile.

Fair Dentists Mistake.
From the Oregonian.

A female dentist in Oregon is
said to have resorted to a novel de-
vice to obtain husband. She has
had as a patient a handsome man,
and one day gave him a dose of
ether that confused. but did not
make him insensible. Then she
sent for a clergyman, and while
the subject was under the infu-
ence of the drug, the two were de-
clared man and wife. When the
man recovered his senses he ex-
pressed surprise and some disgust
at what had occurred, owing to
the fact, not before known to the
faE dentist, that he already pos

WHAT SAVED HIM.

ard. But one night he came home
at a very late hour, and much the
worse for liquor. When he stag.
gered into the house his wife was
very much shocked, told her he
was sick, and must lie down at
once; and in a moment or two he
was comfortably laid on the sofa
in drunken sleep. His face was
reddish purple, altogether he was
a pitiable looking object.
The doctor was sent for in haste,
and mustard applied to the pa
TENTS feet and hands. When the
doctor came and felt his pulse, ex-
amined him, and found he was on
ly drunk, he said:
"He will be all right in the
morning"
But the wife insisted that he
was very sick and that severe rem

"You must shave his head and

The husbands head was accord

were applied.
The patient lay all night in a
drunken sleep, and notwithstand-
ing the blisters were eating into
his flesh, it was not until near
morning that he began to beat
about, disturbed with the pain.
About daylight he woke up in
the most uncomfortable conscious
ness of blistered agonies.
"What does this mean?" he said
putting his hand to his bandaged
head.
"Lie still; you mustn't stir" said
his wife, "you have been sick"
Il am not sick"

piteously.
He was in a most uncomforta-

sores, and his feet and hands still
worse.
"Dearl'' he said groaning, ''if

again, don't be alarmed and send
for a doctor, and, above all, don't
blister me again"
"Oh! indeed l will! All that
saved you was the blistersl If
you have another such spell, [

Plant Corn.

The Columbus Enquirer, in dis~
cussing the effects upon this ceun~
try in case of war between Eng,
land and Russia, says one Of the
effects will be to advance the price
of bread-stuff and provisions, and
in this case the duty of our
farmers is made apparent. 1t ix
now time for them to plant corn.
True, many Of the farmers in this
and other sections are through
planting corn, and are now engage
ed or preparing to plant cotton
seed, but it is not too late to pleut
corn and will not be too late for
several weeks to come. Corn plant<
ed in low grounds as late as May
and first of june. will mature and
make fine yield under proper
cultivation. Our farmer may
think that it will not pay them to
raise corn to sell, but it will pay
them to raise enough to keep from
having to buy. The all cotton
system with corn at low prices has
been disastrous, and they should
not lisk it on the prospects Of d
very great increase in the price,
