HOW TO SUCCEED.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Those who wish to succeed must
begin by putting the idea of "luck"
behind them. If they will inquire
into the causes of the achievements
of the successful men about them,
they will find that in nearly all cas-
es they fairly rose by their shrewd-
ness, energy and thrift. If they
will similarly inquire into the cause
of those unsuccessful men about
them who are commonly called
"unlucky," being unsuccessful, they
will almost invariably find it to be
sloth, extravaganza or drink, or
other folly. 1t will take no one
long to discover why the "unlucky'
man has not succeeded F.; he may and
will, no doubt, ascribe it to want of
''luck," but others who know his
weakness of character will ascribe
it to more tangible cause. The
man of fair intelligence, of genuine
courage, ready to take hard knocks,
to push toward the foremost place,
to watch for and seize the opportuni-
ty, to work steadily at his task, to
be frugal, to be economical, and tc
be honest, need not vainly wish fol
''luck," for whatever there is of i
lies in intelligence, endeavor anC
integrity.

3 o'clock, his old mother, Harriet
Burk, aged 81 years, got up from
her bed and went out doors. When
daylight dawned, the old woman
was still absent, and. immediate
search for her was instituted. No
where on the premises could she be
found. The colored folks in the
neighborhood became interested in
the search and all day Saturday
there was an energetic effort made
to find the missing old woman who
had disappeared so mysteriously.
The fish pond, belonging to DR.. A.
Reynolds, was dragged, but the wa
ter gave not up the body. Night
came on and the searchers had NO
information of her Whereabouts.
Sunday morning the searchers, some
twenty-five in number, scattered,
looking in fence corners, briar
patches, the woods, any and every
where, that it was likely the missing
woman might be found. About 10

A single company in Florida has
purchased 10000 acres of land,
which will be devoted to tobacco
culture. This company began OPP
erations last November and has 791
acres of land planted in tobacco this
year. 1t is estimated that this land
will produce 100000 pounds of to-
bacco, which, it is claimed, is equal
in texture and appearance and
superior in aroma to the genuine
Sumatra leaf. 1t has been demon
strated that the soil and climate are
in every way adapted to the success
