BECOMING WEALTHY.

Becoming wealthy is an art but
few, comparatively speaking, ever
acquire. Most wealthy men who
did not inherit wealth became so by
making all they could and saving ali
they made and took no risk. They
were content with steady gains.
Some of the shrewdest business men
this state ever had died poor. Hhey
wanted to get rich too fast and took
many chances. The plodders have
been the surest winners. 4 man is
like a bank in this: He is not safe
if he takes toe many chances or tries
to back up the credit of his friends
to an unwarrantable extent. Take
Governor Mckinley and ex Secreta-
ry Foster as living instances. But
the man who does not spend money
unnecessarily is the one who is on
the surest road to wealth. Saving
ranks earning in q search for riches,
Wine, women and desire for display
all belong to the anti-accumulative
catalogue. Spendthritts are not apt
70 be very thrifty in their latter days

In one of the mountain countries
not great distance from Chattanoo-
ga few days since, so the News is
informed by an eye witness, two
men were. out squirrel hunting.
They were chasing large fox SPUR
rel with medium. sized but spirited
canine-a cross between a bull and
black and tan terrier. The chase
was in tull view OF the two men and
was very exciting. Just as the dog
was in the act Of springing upon the
squirrel it disappeared in what the
men supposed was a hollow black
log. The dog also darted into the
hole, and when the men rushed up
imagine their horror to discover
that the supposed black log was an
enorm GUS snake. One of the men
had an old cavalry sabre, and with
one powerful blow he decapitated
the snakes head. he then drew
sharp hunting knife and ripped
the snake open and the dog imme-
diately sprang out with the squirrel
in his mouth. The snake by actual
measurement was 80 feet 3 inches
long. Old man Imealiar, who lives
in the vicinity, says it was the larg-
est snake ever seen in them parts,
The farmers living in that district
have been missing for the past few
years large numbers of sheep, goats,
hogs end other small animals, which
they had supposed had been stolen.

set their minds at rest upon that

soon be put on exhibition at the

LEARN To FORGIVE.

Learn how to forgive. Do not
carry an unforgiving spirit with you
through all your life ;. it will hurt
you more than anything else. 1t
will destroy the happiness of many
around you; yet its chief feeling
ground will be found in your own
heart. You hate your neighbor.
Yonder is his dwelling, one hundred
and fifty yards away. Suppose you
pass by wood fire, as you pass,
pluck half consumed brand from
its flaming and cleaning, and thrust
it under your garment to hide it.
Who gets the worst of it You find
your garment on fire and your own
flesh burned before you can harm
your neighbor. So he who carries
an unforgiving spirit in his bosom.
1t stings his own soul like an adder

If the Welfare of the State and

to the building up of towns at the
expense of the country then il be-
hcoves the State to set about pres
venting such. This can be done in
no better way than by improving
the school advantages of the coun-
try. TO do this may saddle heavier
taxation upon the people, but what
