THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The old year went out yesterday
and the new begins to-day. Like two
great ships meeting in mid-ocean one
goes down the other sails on over the
uncertain future, and it, too, in time
will pass out of sight and be num-
bered among the things of the for
gotten past.
How many who embark upon the
sea of life ever reach the haven of
rest-who of us all will reach the goal
at last9 How many of us are there
who on this happy New Years Day
are equipped for the journey which
lies before us3 Who will strive to do
BETTER Who will be better2
Standing upon the threshold of the
New Year let us arrest the present
moment that we may imprint the
marks of wisdom upon its wings. Let
US remember that the days that were
will not come again-that the future is
as yet unknown, and that the present
only is ours. Let US wisely improve
it. What are we going to do, should
God in his mercy spare us through the
present year? Can we not do some
thing however small to make others
happy If 1--WE have failed in the past
to hold out the helping hand to those
who, like US, are travelling on to the
end, let US do SO no longer. If we
have turned away from want, while
blessed with plenty, let US remember
the teachings of charity. Have we
had unkind thoughts and criticisms
have we been unjust? If SO remember
that no man knows the thoughts and
motives of another's life, another's
woes. Remember, that sometimes
even smile lightens the pathway of
the lonely even as autumn sunshine
brightens shaded places. These may
be little things, but man is taught to
"despise not small things" The
great book of life is made up of little
things, and little things sometimes
reach mountain high. Whatever we
may find to do, then, in this year Of
1896 let us do it with our might

A Stubborn Woman.

We read that when Jove had the order
ing of mundane affairs, he promised to
send rain on any day that would be agreed
upon by the whole world. 1t was reported
at last that they were all ready for rain
at certain date, except one old woman
lar day. Women are often accused of be-
ing capricious and whimsical; but there is
one point on which they will all agree
the desirability of being we'll, and looking
we'll. Every woman, be she young or old,
always wants to look her best; and in order
to do this, it is necessary to attain that
state of health which will impart sparkle
grace and symmetry to her entire form
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
panacea for all chronic weakness" and
arrangements of function peculiar to the
sex, and is beyond all comparison the
great healer of women.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION

The Atlanta Constitution is truly
great newspaper. 1t is an institu-
ton in which the South has cause to
feel a pardonable degree of pride.
AS the highest type of excellence and
perfection in newspaper enterprise it
is the chief exponent of Southern prog
ress and development. Wide awake,
newsy and enterprising in a marvel
Gus degree the Constitution richly
merits the great success it enjoys. AS
the Wilmington Evening Dispatch
we'll says:
The Atlanta Constitution has been
doing itself pride of late. The great
exposition, which has had constant at
tention, has been written up in shape
that could not fail to be entertaining
and to elicit the applause of all readers
interested, in this enterprise of vast
importance to the country and to the
South especially. In addition to this
the Constitution is truly great news
paper and the people appreciate none
too much its importance as factor in
the progress of our country. 1t has
the facilities for doing much and none
ever used their facilities to better ad
vantage than the publishers of the
Constitution.

SECRETARY HERBERT, with the ap-
proval of President Cleveland, has
awarded the contract for the construc
tion of two new battle ships to the
Newport News Ship-yard Company,
the price to be paid for them by the
government being $4,000, GOO. Pow
erful influence was brought to bear
upon the Secretary to induce him to
make a different decision, but the
Newport News Company was so clearly
entitled to the contract that the Sec
rotary of the Navy could not, with
any degree of fairness, have pursued a
different course. 1t may not be pala
table to the owners of other ship-yards
in the country, but the fact is that the
Newport News ship-yard is equipped
with the very best machinery for con-
structing modern vessels that can any
where be found, and is really the best
yard in the world for building ships.
There are now about twenty-five
hundred men employed in it and when
thase two new ships are FULLY IN course
of construction the number will very
probably be increased to four thous
and. The yard has already established
high reputation for constructing YES
sels for the merchant marine, and it is
more than probable that it will be
called upon during the time that these
naval vessels are being built to con-
struct steamships for the merchant
trade, and if such is the case a much
larger force than We have mentioned
will be required'to do the work. In
deed the Newport News yard is forg
ing to the front as one of the most i'm
portant industrial establishments in
the county, Norfolk PubHe Ledger.

We all know that any tired muscle can be
restored by rest. Your stomach is mus
Gle. Dyspepsia is its manner Of saying II
am tired. Give me rest" To rest the
stomach you must do its work outside OF
the body.
This is the Shakers method of curing in
digestion, and its success is best attested BY
the fact that these people are practically
free from what is without doubt the most
prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains digested
food which is promptly absorbed without
taxing the tired digestive organs, but it is
likewise an aid to the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bot
tie will convince you of its merit, and these
you can obtain through all druggists.

New York, Nov. n.-Riordan & Co. saw
of cotton to-day: Cotton was lower to-
day, the movement was parativeIv
light, and the exports were heavy, but a
stream of foreign selling orders poured
in, which was more than the market
could stand. The German houses were
again conspicuous and heavy sellers.
Some said the reason of the selling was a
new crop estimate by Neil of 100000
bales. January opened at S.02c, rallied to
S.04c, declined to z94c, and, after again
rallying 70 1890, closed at 1851 Soc, with
the tone quiet and steady. We have not
changed our opinion that the conditions
warrant higher prices for cotton, and we
believe that the influence of those condi-
tons viii make itself felt before the end
OF the year, but as to the immediate
future we fear that nothing but a big
