laudablc enterprise and which we
heartily approve. but having received
an official letter asking the &. \. II.

overlook the fact that in their mis-
taken zeal they have see proper TO
ignore the National flag and display

known or respected among the nations
of the carth-a flag representing the

How TO Get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours,
If you have q place of business be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
Have order, SYSTEM, regularity, and
also promptness.
Do not meddlc with business Won
know nothing of.
Do not kick everyone in your path
More miles can be made in one day
by going steadily, than by stopping.
Pay as you 20.
A man of honor respects his word
as he does his bond.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot affort
because it is fashionable.
Learn TO say no. No necessity O
swapping it out, but say it firmly anG
respectfully.
Use your own brains rather thai
those OF others.
Learn to think and act for your
self.
Keep ahead rather than behind tn,
times.

Atab0st two O'Clock Monday morn

fire alarm. Nearly all the bells in the
city rang and soon a large crowd OF
people were at the scene of the fire.
The fire was in the two-story brick
building on Belview street. owned by
Hon. L. Ii. Davis, and occupied by
Mrs. Fanny Harkey. The flames had
gained such Roadway before they
discovered that to save the building
was out Of the question and il was
soon reduced to ruins.
Mrs. Harkey lost most all of her
household goods. She was. insured
for three hundred dollars.
The building was insured but for
how much we have been unable TO

cadence, making that part of the

the fatherly countenance of Prof.
Norton was conspicuous. The object
of the meeting was to organize .

which was done by electing officers,

this society seems to be the gathering
together of the young ladies and
gentlemen of the city, for both religi-
Gus and social purposes. the very
thing that is wanted in this city. a
place for young people to meet and
exchange views OIL the great subject
of faith and hope; q kind of christian

welcome and receive the benefits that
are surf to flow from such intercourse.
The society meets at the Prosby-
terrain Church next Sunday at 500

A Human Life Caught on the Ebbing
Wave.
During the course of his lite. al
most every man gets into an ~exigency.
Is caught between two fires, is ground
between two millstones; sits on the
edge Of some precipicc, or in some
other way comes nea demolition. II
may be q financial or a domestic or q
social or a political e~xigency. You
sometimes see it in court rooms. A
young man gets into bad company
and lie has offended the law, and he
is arraigned. All blushing and con-
fused he is in the presence of judge
and jury and lawyers. lie can be
sent right on in the wrong direction.
lie is feeling disgraced. and he is
almost desperate. Let the district
attorney overhaul him as though he
was an old offender. let the ablest at
torneys at the bar refuse to say a
word for him, because he cannot af-
ford q considerable fee; let the judge
give no opportunity for presenting
the mitigating circumstances, hurry
up the case and hustle him off to the
pen. If he lives for seventy years he
will be a criminal, and each decade of
his life will be blacker than its pre-
deccessor. In the i~nterregnums of
prison life he can get NO work, and
hei is glad to break a window glass, OF
blow up q safe, or play the highway
man, SO as to get back within the
walls where he can get something 10
cat, and hide himself from the gaze Of
the world. Why don't his father
come and help him? His father is
dead. Why don't his mother come
and help him? She is dead. Where
arc all the ameliorating and salutary
influences OF society! They do not
touch him.

and if ratified by the voters of the

we have in Cape Girardeau have
water works Some of these towns
are much smaller than our city. II
