THE BRIGHT SIDE OR.LIFE.

If there is one person on earth
that is to be envied it is the happy,
cheerful man or woman who always
sees the bright side of life, the good
side of a fellow-being, and the warm
sunny side OF what belongs to earth.
If there is a person to be pitied, it is
the sour, gloomy man or woman who
sees only the dark side of life, the
bad side of a fellow-being, and the
cold. cloudy side of what belongs to
earth. Everything bright, beauti-
full fair, sweet and good grows in the
sunshine. We would not have a
flower without the sun. Cheerful
ness is to the human heart what the
sunbeam is to the earth-the source
of gladness.
We ought to cultivate happiness.
We ought to have the home filed
with what is beautiful. We ought
to let the sun into our lives. People
who are sour and moody look upon
the smiling, happy person as foolish,
and wonder what there is in life that
one can find to enjoy. They want
to tear the flower to pieces, stop the
bird singing, tlample upon the joy
of the child and hush the laugh of
mirth. If you cannot enjoy life,
don't try to prevent others from do
ing so. Don't throw a shadow on
the human heart. Don't try to stop
the sun shining.

PAUPER COUNTIES.

1t appears from the records that
there are a number OF counties in
Georgia which not only bear no
share in discharging the expenses of
the state government, but draw
money from the treasury every year
to meet their own. Gilmer county
is cited as one of the more striking
instances. The net tax collections
there amount to about $1,000. This
never goes outside the county, as the
school fund is paid out by the col
lectors, and Gilmer's share is bigger
than the aggregate of the taxes it's
citizens pay. This year the county
collections had to be supplemented
with Sill from the state treasury to
make up the county school fun. In
addition to this there are thirty
seven Confederate pensioners in
Gilmer, who draw $1,670 per an
mum, and the county's representa-
tives to the general assembly have
to be paid, so that instead of receiv-
ing help from the county the state
bears an annual burden of expense
on its account amounting to some
thing like 1882. There are six or
eight other counties in Georgia
which receive aid from the state as
regularly as Gilmer.

REyOLUTIONIsT REED.

SPEAKER REED shows that he is
the right man for the Republican
party in Congress- party that was
born in revolution and lives on re-
volution, outrage and usurpation.
He not only refuses to report rules
for the government Of the House,
but with q dictatorial spirit makes
rules and declares decisions and re-
suits as it suits his partizan purpose
in spite of protestations and denun-
Citations from the democrats in Con-
gress. He seems to be impervious
to the bolts of invective hurled by
Congressman Crisp, Carlisle, Turner,
Springer and others. Reed has VIC
lated all constitutional safeguards
and disregarded all parliamentary
rales and fairness. He declares a
quorum present when the democrats
refrain from voting and ignores
democrats in their appeals and often
refuses to recognize them. He is
playing a desperate game. Mr..
Crisp, the eloquent Georgian, man
aged to hold the floor and fayed
Speaker Reed numerically, and
showed that Reeds past record and
speeches were against his own rul-
ings. Mr.. Crisp appealed from
Phillip drunk to Phillip SOBER"
but Reed was ipsensible to justice
and argument as grindstone.

HOLOCAUST.

A horrible holocaust took place
in Washington about I o'clock on
last Monday morning ia the burning
of the Mansion of Secretary Tracy,
of tae Presidents Cabinet. Secre-
tary Tracy was rescued in an insen-
sible condition from suffocation by
smoke, but has since revived. His
wife jumped from the second story
window and died from her injuries,
and his daughter, Miss Mary Tracy,
was burned to death, as was also a
French waiting maid. The Secre-
tary's sister, Mrs. Wilmerding and
daughter, jumped from the burning
building, but received injuries from
which they will recover. The build
ing was completely destroyed.

HON. r. T. NESRITT.

This gentleman was in town,
shaking hands with his friends and
making new ones, the first of last
week. He has decided to become a
candidate for Commissioner of Ag-
riculture at the next State election
this Office having been made cleo
tive by the last session of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Mr.. Nesbitt is one OF the best
known farmers in the State. For q
number of years he followed the
business in South Georgia, and fol
the past several years he has farm,
ed in North Geoagia-thus gaining
a practical knowledge of the wants
of the formers in the different sec.
tons.
In early life Mr.. Nesbitt had
splendid opportunities, and was
thoroughly educated. He would
have adorned any profession he
might have chosen, but he preferred
the honorable calling of farmer,
and has made a good success of it.
While living in South Georgia he
represented his district in the State
Senate, and made his mark as a
strong man, wherever placed by his
fellow citizens. 8 A
1t is not surprising that Mr.. Mes
bits candidacy is looked upon SO
favorably by the people generally,
and the farmers especially. In the
hands of such man the Office
would be great benefit to the ag-
riculturist of the State. Douglas
vile New South. q p
Just SO, and the people are going
to elect him. Judge Henderson.has
had the Office IA years, and the peo-
pie don't believe he should "home-
stead" on the Office.

ONE TOO MANY.

Col. ''Bob" lngersoll's Sunday
nights at home are invariably at
tended by great many bright peo-
pie, and they bear a great many
very bright things from the lips Of
the noted infdel in his peculiar line
of disbelief, and on other topics,
says the New York Star. The
colonel's particular hobby just now
is to tell what he would do if he had
the ordering of things on earth.
For one thing, be says, he would
make health instead of disease con-
tagious, and for another, instead Of
having mud and slush in the streets
he would fill up the holes in the
pavements with ice cream and cake.
Another of the colonel's hobbies is
to lament the dearth OF great men
in this age by which to Judge its
own greatness. He declares that
we have produced no great literary
characters, no great statesmen,
poets, artists, scientists or other
men who will mako the age famous.
If it was not for knocking over the
fabric of the colonels argument on
the one hand. and building up his
egotism on the other, we would re-
mark that the age has produced at
least one great infdel. And great
majority of the civilized world really
thinks that is one too many.

DISGRUNTLED.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Macon Telegraph, is full of regrets
that Governor Gordon made an
executive mistake" in appointing
Col. Robertson railroad commission
err to succeed Major Campbell Wal
lace, who resigned. That paper
thinks that a Middle or South Geor-
gia man should have been appointed.
Governor Gordon. should cease to
make so regrettable mistakes, and
in order to obviate them in the tu.
ture, he should consult the Macon
Telegraph and find out who he must
appoint. The Governor has no bust
ness to exercise his own judgment
in these matters. He wasn't elected
for that purpose-you know The
Telegraph seems to be in the ssmis-
take" business, also. 1t puts Col.
Robertson down as living in Cobb,
when he lives in Habersham, and
he puts Col. Trammell down as liy
ing in Dalton, when he lives in
Marietta.

1t is painful to see a boy of ten
der years forced into the hard strug-
gle OF life and keen competition to
win the means Of subsistence. In
the end, however, it is found that
those who have to pass through some
such experience have the best chan
ces for the prizes that are held most
valuable. Few Of those who are
brought up to have what they want
without effort get it, attain fame or
fortune. He who has to labor early
to get bread is most likely to attain
the object upon which he may later
fix his ambition.
