SUNDAY THOUGHTS.
prom venn,s Whole Duty of Man.,
5000 Goo.

From Venn's Whole Duty of Man,
1t is the way of man to live in for
getfulness of God. But let not this
forgetfulness be considered as the eff
feet of mere inattention, a venial fail
ing, which, though 1t ought to be cor
rected, argues no corrupt nature. No,
it is highly culpable; it arises entirely
from depravity of disposition. Are
we wont to be obstinately inatJentive
to our friends, whilst any degree of
veneration remains for them? When
the lord of q great household is absent,
and therefore invisible to his servants,
do they lose the remembrance of their
duty unless they are wholly base and
profiigatef When children are sspa-
rated from their affectionats parents,
though even at the distance Of whole
Kingdoms, can they lose a lively re-
membrance of their relation, or
sense of their obligations, unless they
are sunk into total degeneracyP five
trace, therefore, mans forgetfulness of
God up to its real source, 1t will af-
ford US still more affecting evidence
of his natural depravity, and prove he
is despiser of the Lord God Omnipo-
tent,
Neither let ignorance of the nature
of God or of the homage He requires
from men be pleaded IS an excuse for
our forgetfulness, for has not reason
demonstrated against our sins =? Has
not the word Of God distinctly pointed
out its malignity? Have not undeni-
able facts proved that God, notwlth-
standing His infinite goodness, is
pleased TO inspect our conduct with
the most minute attention? No earth
ly potentate can show himself so OBJ
servant Of the manners of his subjects,
so jealous of the honor of his laws, as
the King eternal, immortal and invis-
ible. From the beginning of the
world unto this day, what prince Of
this world has SO strictly epjoined the
practice of all that is good as the Lord
God Of Hosts? Our forgstfulnsss,
therefore, of so great a God, who SO
plainly and so fully manifests his au-
thority over us, is sinful, and an in
stance OF the highest depravity-con-
tempt of God sad heinous crime.

YESTERDAYS RESULTS.

AS everybody, except the other side,
expected, the election OF yesterday re-
suited in stralghtout and conclusive
victory for the present city admins.
tration, and their friends. The move
ment which had, as it's sole argument,
groundless and unproven charges
against the city government, met a
complete and deserved defeat.
While the fight put up by the OPP
position was little stronger than was
expected, due to the fact that they
made such an enthusiastic and hurrah-
like bid for the floating negro vote,
the administration and its friends
have no reason to be dissatisfied with
the size of their majority.
1t is matter for congratulation to
the people Of Brunswick that the elec-
ton was not marked by any OF those
disgraceful scenes which have char
acterized other recent municipal cleo
tions in Georgia. Money, except in
the payment of bills for music, car
riages and other legitimate expenses,
did not out any figure, and there were
no serious personal difficulties.
The city is also to be congratulated
on the fact that four such good and
capable men as Messrs. w. M. Upper,
Robert E. Briesenick, R. V. Douglas
and Joseph B. Abrams, are to be MEM
bers Of its official family. The four
gentlemen who hold over another
year are, tiks their new colleagues,
capable and progressive, and Bruins
wick has reason to hope for an ener-
getic, faithful and careful administra-
ton.

SEVEN FOOT BEARD.
1t Is Perhaps the Longest Worn by Al
Man In the World.

1t Is Perhaps the Longest Worn by Any
Man In the World.
Mr.. Legrand Larow of Lamar, Mo-,
has beard which perhaps is the longest
worn by any man in the world 1t is
now feet in length and at one time
measured TX feet in length. Mr..
Larow was born in Tompkins county,
N. Y, in 1852, and his relatives are
noted for heavy boards, but not of ex-
traordinary length. He is feet in
height and weighs 175 pounds. When
standing with his beard down, it ex-
tends two feet upon the floor He has
not shaved for over 20 years. In the
year 1877 Mr.. Larow came west, set
thing in this county and was a farmer
and stock raiser for many years, own
ing farm several miles south of La
mar. About two years ago he moved
into town and is now engaged in the
coal business. He was bachelor until
January, 1895, when he married, and
is now the proud parent of bright lit
tie boy. He wears his beard braided and
wound around his body or else wrapped
and lodged inside his vest.-St. Louis

PUSH 1T ALONG.

For something like the s'teenth time,
THE TIMEs asks the interesting ques-
ton: What has become of that Bi.
Centennial site committee?
Did 1t get lost in the election excite
ment? Has il become oblivious of its
own existence? Has it forgotten all
about the purposes of its appoint
ments?
II not, why in the name Of ORle-
thorpe and his SUCCESSORS does it not
get together and do something?
The members Of the committee may
think that. THE TIMES is impatient
about the matter, but it is a matter
worth being impatient about. II we
are going to have that celebration
next spring, there is no time to be
lost. In the bright lexicon of Bruins
wick, let there be no such word al
delay.

COTTON IN INDIANA.
Don A. Salyer of Valparaiso the First to
Succeed With 1t.

Don A. SaIyer of Valparaiso the First to
Succeed With 1t.
Don A. Salyer, superintendent of the
Valparaiso city waterworks, is the first
man to be successful in raising a well
grown cotton crop in Valparaiso.
The crop ne recently harvested con-
sists Of number of plants that have
grown to maturity the past season in
his garden. They are aristocratic repre-
sentatives of the useful southern fibrous
plant, and they have fourished here in
a remarkable degree, being covered with
the fluffy balls of cotton fully ripened
and ready for the harvest.
The cotton raising industry in Val
paraiso is thus inaugurated by sue
cessful harvest. The climate here seems
very favorable for the plant, and many
persons intend to seriously attempt the
industry the coming season.
The seed was brought from Kansas
City by George G. Salyer, conductor on
the Nickel Plate road. He was formerly
conductor on the Wagner palace cars be-
tween Kansas City and Memphis. Chi

JAMES DUFFY'S SECRET.
He Claims to Temper Brass and Make Hard
Drills and Razors of Copper.

He Claims to Temper Brass and Make Hard
Drills and Razors of Copper.
James Fl. Duffy of Machiasport, Me-,
announces that he has discovered the
lost art of producing Damascus steel,
also the art of hardening copper and
brass. This is the result of ten years Of
experimenting with the metals in his
village blacksmith shop Mr.. Duffy has
made several broadswords of copper,
keen edged and strong as steel. Also he
has made knife blades and razors of
copper. He says he has used a copper
razor for months, and yet it shows no
signs of dullness.
Some Boston capitalists are said to
have made offers for his secret. Duffy
declares that he has also discovered
how to weld copper, thing hitherto
unknown, and can temper quarrymen' s
drills SO that they will outlast the ordi-
nary drills by days. He says his secret
is the simplest thing in the world and
says that every iron worker and every
copper and brass worker treads upon it
every day, but fails to see it.-New

SHE COULDN'T REFUSE.
How Mrs. Langtry Came to Be Land
owner In Nevada.

How Mrs. Langtry CAME to Be Land
owner In Nevada.
Mrs. Langtry, who, because of num-
Der of interesting recent events, is once
more before the public eye, is the owner
of ranch out near Carson City, New.
It was sold to her by Sam Davis of The
Appeal. The story of the sale is short
and reads like fiction, but is truth. Mrs
Langtry was playing "Galatea. She
had had some dealings with Davis look
ing to the purchase of the ranch, but
had been unable to make up her mind
Sam was consequently worried for fear
the deal would not go through. So one
night he went to the stage door of the
theater where the play was being pro-
duced, and, owing to his editorial posi-
ton, was admitted without question.
He waited until Mrs. Langtry took up
her position as the statue of Galatea,
and then, calling three stage hands to
witness, he whispered from the wings
to her, "If you hear me, wink the eye
which is farther from the audience. !"
Galatea winked. That established Davis
case
NOW, if you don't want to buy the
southwest quarter section IA, Is and Is
for IS, 900 shake your head" he said.
Galatea, the marble statue, with the
eyes of the audience, was, of course, i'm
movable. "All right, said Davis cheer
fully; 81 and these witnesses understand
that you want it at that figure. -
The next day he gave her the deeds
and took her good money. She probably
might have made contention i'll court,
but she decided that such diplomacy de-
served recognition and SO accepted the
situation. That is how she came to be a
landowner in Nevada Chicago Rec
