THE TOWN AND COUNTY.
"A Gloomy Prospect ion the Rural
Districts in the South,

tSts III 81 SOutU.
One of the very noticeable features
OF our Southern civilization is that the
we'll TODD Inhabitants Of the rural dis
trictS are, in great numbers. leaving
their homes in the county and going
to the towns. Such has been the case
since the conclusion OF the war be-
tween the South and the North. The
result Is that many sections of our
Southern country, especially of the
older States, arc inhabited almost en-
tirely by the colorcd people. The
majority OF the whites residing in these
sections OF country are either renters,
cropers or persons PECULIARLY unable to
leave the country and live in town.
The prospects for those who are, by
h force OF circumstances, obliged to
remain in the country are gloomy.
Their schools and churches are not in
a prosperous condition. In many raral
districts the number Of the white pop
ulation has SO decreased that neither
the church . school can be support
ed. Families which have the means
to support the school and the church,
and desire these privileges, will leave
the country and go to the town, but
what is TO become oi the poorer class
of white people who arc unable to
boar h expenses Of living in town /?
In many rural districts the schools and
churches arc in II dying condition.
However much this state OF things
is to be lamented it seems to be u neces-
sity. The white man and the negro
can not live together as neighbors in
rural districts, in safety TO the white
man, until tho negro learns to obey the
seventh and eight commandments.
The only remedy for this evil is the
civilizing and Outstanding of the
negro. If this is not done and things
go on for the noXt twenty-five years as
they have for tho last twenty-five
thcro will be large section of our
Southern country which will be in
habitcd entirely by ncgroes.-A. r.

of every Christian people next Tues
day morning. In hall and cot shall
be happiness and love, and the young
and old shall rejoice on the festal day
of Christendom- May this glad day
bring mirth and innocent pleasures
to the hearthstones of our patrons
and friends is our sincere wish. We
could not wish them more, we would
not wish them less.
The springs of the human heart
do not lie upon the surface of our
common nature. Men are not moved
to deeds of goodness by the air we
breathe, or the blessings that are
showered upon us, measured full to
the brim and running over-a very
overAowing cup of gladuess. Some
great, some mighty, yea, some super
natural event-some grand upheaval
of the emotional depths must come
to show US that one touch of nature
truly snakes the whole world kim"
Such an event of mighty interest
was the birth of Christ. To that far
off divine event the mind reverts with
a Joy such as the ship-wrecked sailor
feels when he discerns sail at sea.
From it the mile posts of happy
world begin. Upon it a joyous and
enraptured civilization looks back as
to the author of its being. And to
it men will turn to mark the day
when the poor in spirit come to have
hope and courage and fortitude for
the battle of life.

The Road to Ruin.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The newspapers are filed with sto-
ries of defalcations, forgeries and
murders, and in many instances these
crimes are committed by young men
of good family-well educated, nice
young fellows who are above suspi-
cion until they suddenly become full
fiedged criminals.
In the great majority of such cases
the young men who go wrong have
been INDUCED by their parents, and
have been allowed to live beyond
their means and grow up in idleness.
1t is common thing to find bard
working father who is so proud of
his gentlemanly son that he cheerful
ly supports him and supplies him
with pocket money, hoping that the
youngster will some day get into a
light and genteel occupation in which
he can easily make money without
working for it. This hope is gener-
ally disappointed. The mistaken ia
ther forgets that an idle brain is the
DEVILS work shop. When lad leads
an utterly idle life for a few years,
and sometimes for only few months,
the chances are that he will form bad
! habits and bad associations. His ex-
penditures will rapidly increase; and
he will soon find it difficult to supply
his wants.
When ali idle young man reaches
this point he grows discontented and
restless. How can he get large sum
of money without working for it,
This is the problem which be is trying
to solve. He envies every we'll dress
ed man who displays roll of bills.
He complains of his hard luck, and
begins to hate his more prosperous
acquaintances. He starts on the down.
ward road, gets in debt, CANDLES and
drinks, or if he escapes these vices
his brain is disordered by his feverish
greed.
To such man temptation is bound
to come sooner or later. Perhaps
he misappropriates the funds of
others or commits forgery. Posi-
bly, in an evil hour the sight of money
in the possession of an unsuspecting
companion in a lonely place leads to
murder. In these days when the
love of money is so universal there
are many such murders committed
by men who are trying to live with
out work.
The father who supports an idle
boy and encourages him in the idea
that in some way he will be able to
go through life we'll fed and we'll
dressed, with money in his pocket,
without striking lick to earn it, is
training his son for the chaingang or
the gallows. Even if the boy is too
clever or too timid to plunge into
crime he is looked upon with con-
tempt as drone who is of no use to
the community. Industrious men are
unwilling to have these fellows visit
their daughters or associate with
their sons, and their old playmates
who are making their way in the
world by honest labor shun their
companionship.
In this country the pariahs of So
ciety are the men without means who
are determined to live in idleness and
make somebody else foot the bill If
among our readers there is a father
with such a son let him lose no time
in forcing him tn go to work. Any
reasonable stretch of parental au-
thority is justifable in such case.
