SEEDS OF KINDNESS,

SEEDS OF KINDNESS.
Let us scatter seeds of kindness
AS we journey DER life's way,
Let us not forget the precepts
That God gave us to obey;
Unkind words in anger spoken,
In this world much woe hath wrouyht--
Better far. that we speak kindly,
Better far, if we Judge not"
Cast thy bread upon the waters"
Sometime it will return to you;
God will graciously reward you
For each kindly act you do.
Hearts that are now filed with sorrow,
Would feel happier could they know
That some friendly hand would scatter
Roses where the thistles grow.
Dark the way that lies before us,
And we tread with faltering feet:
Dark the clouds that gather DER us,
Yet LIES troubles we must meet;
Then with kindness let us scatter
Roses ali along the way
And the gloom of night will tighten,
Turning darkness into day

5ATHER THE ROSES WHILE YOU
MAY.
Gather the roses while you may
Soon they'll fade and wither;
Let their perfume cheer your heart
While the summer fingers.
Gather the sunbeams in your path
Keep the wheat and roses;
Let the thorGs and briers GO
Till the harvest is ended.
Gather up the joys of life
In the strength of manhood:
Soon old age will follow fast,
Soon will come the harvest.
Gather knowledge while you may,
From the fields and flowers;
Natures storehouse offers wealth
To the earnest toiler.
Gather comfort from the thought
We shall know each other:
Over on the golden shore
In the bright tomorrow.

In less than month, 10, an official
looking document is flying swiftly on its
way to the prison of L., granting, upon
its snowy pages, a pardon to Isobel Keith,
and when the girl beholds it she falls for
ward in a swoon, but the young doctor
catches her in his eager arms.
This pardon has come SO unexpectedly
she can scarcely realize the fact that the
glorious word, Freedom" has gone to
her.
Sinking upon the bare floor by the side
of her rude bed in that narrow cell where
she has passed so many weary hours with
streaming eyes she thanks the divine
and merciful God for his help.
BLESSED be Thy name. Oh, my Father,
forgive me that / erred through ignor-
ance and youth. Forgive me that I re-
belled against or doubted Thy holy and
mighty power. Oh! sinner that 1 am,

THE CRY ELECTION.

The city offices which were contended
Cor last Wednesday provoked a lively
struggle.
1t has colne and passed and the result
is the election of men with which the
people Of Dawson should be perfectly
satisfied,
The men elected are with )ut excep-
sion, worthy C; tizens and will make excel
lent officers.
The defeated candidates are some Of
the very best men in the city, and the
fact that they We're not successful is no
reflection on their character or fitness
for the offices they sought.
The gentleman elected to the mayoral-
" and the three councilmen-elect are all
well known and identified with the in
terests of the city, and, as the result of
the election shows, popular.
The zeal which the friends on both
sides displayed for their respective IA
vorites should be gratifying alike to the
successful aud the defeated.
Now, after the people have spoken
through the ballot box, we regret to see
a disposition by both sides to drag the
matter into the courts Wednesdays
verdict should settle the question, and
everybody should be willing to let the
hatchet be buried Personal animosity
and bitterness should be laid aside.
There is special need at this time for
harmony and concert of action to push
Dawson to the front rank of cities where
she belongs Let this little family
scrimmage die out as quickly as posi-
BILE and all come together for long pull
and la strong pull for Dawson, Every

fects OF united effort become apparent

GREAT PROSPERITY

The Manufacturers Record never tires
of singing the praises Of the promised
land. The possibilities Of the South
were never so great as now. Great
achievements have been hers in the
past ten years, but greater still awaits
her in this decade. We copy from oar
Baltimore contemporary:
seThe advance of two and half cents
pound in the price of cotton during
the past nine weeks means gain to the
Southern planters of $87,500, 900 in the
actual cash value of a single staple crop.
''The increase in the sugar crop of
this season will give to the South S2,25O,-
600 in bounty alone more than last year.
The rice crop Of this season is the larg-
est ever grown in the South.
s'The 100000 acres withdrawn from
cotton this season have been planted
with food crops, chiefly corn, thereby
making the South more self-reliant and
increasing the cash by keeping it at
home instead of sending it to the West
for food
Bankers, merchants, manufacturers,
farmers and newspapers speak with one
accord of the prosperity that not only
awaits the South, but already is present.
Confidence was never greater; business
conditions were never more favorable"
DAWSON must have diversified indus
tries: it is the salvation of the town; it
means money-prosperity and growth.
The Savannah Press speaking on this
subject in the interest Of Savannah,
says;
AS has been we'll said of Southern
communities, tour people must learn
not only how to create wealth, but how
to save it. They must live less on them
selves and more on the outside world.
They must locate the leaks that drain
them of their profits and stop them as
soon as possible"
BY keeping money at home the South
will rapidly and positively increase in
wealth and prosperity. The surest
means of keeping money at home is to
at home of all necessary
planting in community
of small industries for diversified manu-
facture.

trick to make Mr. Cleyeland's admins
tration unpopular. Postmasters and
other officers, knowing that they will be
removed, are resigning and recommend
ing Democrats as their successors. These
new appointees, having received Office
by republican influence and a republi-
can administration, they iargue, will be
removed, which will anger their friends
and make enemies for the administra-
ton, Leading democrats warn all such
that to accept an office
under these circumstances will materi
ally prejudice their claims under the

own obligations to others. While he

Another indianapolis Car Strike.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 21.-All
the street car lines In this city today
were without men to operate them,
another strike having been ordered
last night. The company made no at
tempt to start the cars. At the barns
and power houses there are men in
charge of the property and with them
are committees of strikers to see that
no cars are taken out. President
FreDgel will attempt to resume bust
ness tomorrow by starting cars on one
or more lines. In anticipation of trou-
BILE he has called upon the mayor for
police protection. He states that he
has more men than are necessary to
fill the places of the strikers. The
cause of the strike is the refusal of
Frengel to live up to the decision of
the al filtration committee.
