A PROTEST..

In season when all the world should
ring with gladness, friendship pauSes, in
silence and alone, to place one flower upon
grave,
This grave is newly. made, and the sod
that covers it has heen but Lately turned (;
yet it il pathetio graye, for it hides the
remnants OF Life.
The question may be ill-sdvised and
even saorilegious, but 1, pertorce, must
ask it:
Why does not the Supreme Arbiter use
more discretion in placing the impossible
period to our ambitious careers?
Why
IL it the despotism Of FAte or the dis
pensation of Eternal Justice?
Scarcely can it be the latter, for every
man is sent upon the earth to prove the
best that is in him. How can Omnipotence
render its decision when it strikes down a
man on the threshold OF his years OF use
fulness?
But we are, all of US, prone to rail at
Providence, whom it deprives US OF some
thing that we held dear.
1t is natural that the heart, robbed of its
comradsship, should beat with rebellious
protest. When the footsteps of two crea-
lures have, since childhood, pressed the
same paths and sought the same goal the
removal of the one tempts the bitter
treason of the other to all established
teachings.
There are some griefs that defy consola-
ton, that shut the door to sympathy, that
kill all thoughts of reparation.
So it IL to one who has found Sorrows
bitterest drug, and tasted its ineffaceable
poison.
There are soms.who rave and weep, but
their grief is ostentatious, and soon passes
there are others who do not speak, but
whose grIeti is beyond understanding.
However, words cannot change the IRE
vocAble result. Poetry, which he loved, is
weak in consolation. Yet there is one
sentiment Che quoted 1t often) that offers
some relief:
'Tis hard to part when friends are dear;
Perhaps twill cost sigh, tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not goodnight, but In some happier cline
Bid me good morning.

HARD TO DECIDE.
The Case Was Difficult One, and tn
Jury Wanted Instructions.

The Case Was a Difficult One, and the
Jury Wanted Instructions.
After the members of the jury had
filed in and taken their seats the judge
said:
Gam 1 to understand that you wish
further instructions from the court!'
"Well, not exactly that, judge. an
Ewered the foreman. 1.-THE instructions
are all clear enough, bat we're little
in the dark in regard to some of the evil
dence.''
"The court will be glad to lend you
every proper assistance in clearing 1t
up" said the judge.
"Well, it's just this way, explained
the foreman Gas we understand it,
there is no dispute as to the facts in the
case. The defendant unquestionably
took the goods, but her lawyers claim
that it was a case of kleptomania, while
the attorneys for the prosecution have
endeavored to show that it was just
plain theft. Are we right so far?''
"Quite right" said the judge.
"Both sides have introduced experts, !"
went on the foreman, land we have
had scientific explanations of the theory
and cause of kleptomania until we are
all confused and would certainly disa-
gree if we were foolish enough to pay
any attention to the experts. But we
have decided to cross their evidence off
the slate and worry along as best we
can without it. -
1T is your privilege as jurors to at
tach as much or as little weight to the
evidence as you may see tit, )" said the
judge.
"Of course returned the foreman.
"And now we come to the real prob
lem, which we are of the opinion has
been sadly neglected by the lawyers on
both sides. What is this woman's social
position?'
"What! |" exclaimed the judge.
"What is her social position!" repeat
ed the foreman. "How can we tell
whether she is a kleptomaniac or a
thief without knowing that? If we are
to reach decision, we must hear more
evidence on that feature of the case,
and if it is too late to have it introduced
you might just as well call it mis-
trial and start all over again. We never
will be able to agree. Chicago Post.

The New York man whose wife

"A man never feels the sarcasm of

the appalling discovery that the

This is the season when the aver

ONE YEARS WORK.

THE TIMES is not vain glorious, nor
does II subscribe TO the policy of con-
tinually Boosting OF Its journalistic
achievements-but newspaper lie
sometimes warranted, on occasions
like the present one, in doing a little
talking for itself.
The success of this Christmas edi-
ton, carrying, on its first page, the
Christmas greetings Of eminent men
in Georgia to the people of Brunswick
and Glynn county, is, in itself, suffi-
cient warrant for indulgence IN few
words of self-prsise.
THE BRUNSWICK TIMES, under it's
present mana cement, dates from the
first OF January Of this year, and the
approach OF It's first anniversary brings
with it the tendency to glance back
ward. THE TIMxs is proud of Its
record, and of the sincere compliments
which that record has brought forth
from its many readers.
The journs ism of this decade has
cast off many Of the conEentionalities
which, in the past, have limited it's USE
fulness to the mere chronicling OF
syents and opinions, The New Jour-

dulging in it, is that we may not
realize fully what a sin it is. The
bright and joyous spirit of the Christ
mas tide, which softens every heart,
inspires such an examination of the
inner consciousness as l have VEN
tured to suggest, in the hope that we
may carry with US through the
year at least ray Of the
blessed light which shines anew
all over the Christianizsd portion of
the globe at this season. Let us tend
this celestial spark as carefully az ever
Vestals watched the sacred fame, sure
that should it be extinguished for q
little the Sun of Righteousness will Re-
kindle it. That which is highest and
best alone survives, and is eternal,
why waste our energies, and sully our
minds and souls with what is low and
evil? Why pluck dead sea fruit when
We can have "apples of gold in Pic
lures of silver" the word spoken in
season, kind and true. instead of that
which wars against peace on earth,
goodwill towards men?

Simon in the summer, which did
much TO increase the cordial welcome
of the visitors, and boom the project
for an annual encampment at st.
Simon.
TIE TINES columns were given
freely to the agitation OF the necessity
for the organization of a humane So
ciety 10 this city. The society was or
ganized and is now In active opera
ton.
The first suggestion Of fair or ex-
position In Brunswick for 1898, to
celebrate the 200th anniversary of the
birth of General Oglethorpe, appeared
in the editorial columns Of THE TINES.
The plan met immediate local and
state favor.
THE TIMES kept the subject hot, and
meeting was held within the past
month and committee appointed to
look into the matter of securing a site.
Brunswick stood in need of some
plan for obviating or relieving the
dullnsss Of q winter season without
theatrioals. A lyoeum course was the
only feasible plan. THE TIMES started
the movement, enlisted canvassers,
gave many columns Of it's space to
booming the project, and the associa-
ton has finally been organized, and a
great portion Of the necessary fund
collected. 1t Is believed that the
course will be successful.
A political fight was precipitated
about two mouths ago by the organi-
zation Of "Go0d Government Club"
which attacked the present city ad-
ministration, without proof or specific
charges. THE TIMES upheld the ad-
ministration vigorously The people
approved The TINES course and the
administration ticket was elected by q
handsome majority.
The Plant System, for severa
m onths, made travel into Brunswick
a torture by running Its passenger
trains with freight train attachments
and on freight train schedules. TIL
TIMES was the only paper that protss
ted. The practice was discontinued
The trains now run on time.
TIE TIMES made a forecast of thu
votes to be cast in the recent NUM-
clpal election, which missed the gen
erAl result only two votes.
This Is quite list of achievement
in one year for newspaper In a city
: of Brunswiok's size. TIE TINES look
forward to the New Year with thu
hope that it will be enabled to d.
much more.
