Don't think floating debt is
necessarily light one.
He is a wise man who has wit
enough for his own affairs. 1t is
a common thing for people tc
mind number one, but not so com"
mon to see people mend it. When
it comes to spending money on
labor or Improvements, they think
that repairs should begin at num-
Der two and three, and go on un-
til the houses up to number fifty
are touched up before any hint
should be given to number one.
Now, this is Very ssslpid, for if
charity should begin at home, GER
tainly reformation should begin
there too. 1t is waste of time
to go far away to make a clear
ance. There's nothing like sweep
ing the dirt from your own door.
Let every dog carry his own tail.
! Mind your own business and mend
your own manners, and if every
man does the same all will be
minded and mended. A man
who does not look we'll to his own
concerns is not fit to be trusted
with other peoples. Lots of peo-
pie are SO busy abroad that they
have no time to look at home.
They say the cobbler's wife goes
barefoot and the bakers child gets
buns and the sweeps house has
sooty chimneys. This comes of a
man thinking he is everybody ex-
cept himself. All the wit in the
world is not in one head, and,
therefore, the wisest man living
is not bound to look after all his
neighbors' matters. There are
wonderful people about whose
wisdom would beat Solomon into
fits and yet they have not enough
sense to keep their own kettle
from boiling over.
Mrs. Nettie Reed, wife of Mr..
]. G. Reed, while out walking last
week, was run over by cow and
knocked down and hurt very bad

Mr.. S. II. Spinks has moved
from Mr.. Joe Thomas place to
Mr.. H. d. BARRIERS place, over in
the Olive Springs settlement.
Well, Christmas has come and
gone, and the serenaders have
come and gone, and the rabbits
are about all gone, in fact nearly
everything is gone except Al cent
cotton, and debt still hangs over
the poor farmers and the laboring
class of people. BEULAH.

we are very sorry TO note the
death of Mrs. George Durham.
She had been a sufferer from
cancer for some time. We ex-
tend our sympathy to the bereav-
ed husband and relatives in their
great loss. Mrs. N. A. Durham's
mother, Mrs. Alexander, also died
last week. Her death was not
unexpected, as she had been suf-
fering with dropsy for some time.
Both were inferred at Mars Hill
cemetery.
Misses Leon Awtrey and Ida
Collins were at home from La
Grange to spend the holidays.
Rev. A. J. Morgan and wife are
spending the holidays in South
Carolina.
Mrs. Susie Green, of Fair
Mound, Ala, is visiting her father
Mr.. Nathan Durham.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eli B. Green had
a family Christmas tree, and it
was marvel to understand how
Old Santa got down the chimney
with such load, but he works in
a mysterious way his wonders to
perform.
Mrs. Sam and Mrs. Calvin Orr
arrived here from Texas Oh the
22d ult., and will remain for
some time, visiting relatives and
friends. We are glad to welcome
them back to old Georgia once
more.
The Christmas tree at the Bap-
fist Church was a success and
highly enjoyed. 1t was a great
pleasure, indeed, to see Old Santa
Claus. He got around real spry
and we have our doubts of his
being 1898 years old. We did not
see any one arrested for smiling,
either.
Prof. George Orr and family, of
Euharlee, are visiting relatives
here.
Mr.. Ralph Kelpin was up from
Atlanta to spend the .holidays.
Our Masonic Hall was dedicated
on the 22d ult., with impressive
ceremonies and eloquent speeches,
which we're highly enjoyed by all.
Grand Master Meinehart, of
Rome, was master of ceremonies,
and several other lodges were rep
resented. The goat was also high
ly gratified when he heard the
summons, Bring forth the Royal
Bumper and let him bump" for
nothing gratifies his Goat-ship
more than to be turned loose on a
person, especially when he has
not had Whit Of fresh air nor
saw the light of day for 10, these
many months!
The marriage Of Miss Idelle
Collins and Mr.. G. G. Durham on
the goth ult., was performed at
| the Baptist church by Rev. E. M i.
Dyer. 1t was a beautiful wedding.
There is no more popular couple
in Acworth, and all wish them
much happiness.
| q Well, Christmas with all it's
good cheer and happy greetings
has come and gone. We have all
had a good time, and if the New
Year, 1899, will only be as gen.
erous and bestow its blessings upon
us as we now bid old '9S adieu
with no regrets, except that we
have passed another milestone
on the road from time to eternity.
1t has brought us peace and plenty
and will go down in history as the
greatest panorama of the 10Th
century, for what year can record
so many changes?-
For Uncle Sam has fought on land
and sea,
And we have found what a mighty
nation are we.

Some Cases of KIeptomania.

Here are some striking cases Of KEEP
to-nania: A series of thefts was COM
mitted in some Of the best houses in
New York. The culprit turned out to
be young woman connected by birth
and marriage with the owners. There
after, when from household which she
had visited Anything was missed, the
owner would go to her, kiss her and
ask it back. 1t was quite family mat
ter.
At that time there was journalist
about town who was both a social ia
vorite and an able man. He kept a
bachelor establishment in which it was
his amiable habit to entertain those
who had entertained him. There of an
afternoon or Of an evening people would
gather and take back from his drawing
room things which che had taken from
theirs. There was never a word ex-
changed on the subject. Perfect cour-
tesy prevailed.
Then there was young fellow whose
name figures in the early history of the
United States At dinner which he
attended a ring handed about for in
spection disappeared. So much was said
that later he returned it with state
ment to the effect that it had caught in
the lining of his sleeve A few days
afterwa1d we heard Talboys-dead
since, but not forgotten ordering a
coat of tailor whom we patronized in
common and expressly STIMULATING that
it should not have that kind of sleeve.
In each of these instances the case
belonged not to jurisprudence, but to
pathology Kleptomania is a disease,
like influenza, only, thank fortune, less
catching. Weekly.

PHILIP D. ARMOUR, of Chicago, lis one
of the largest individual employers of la
Dor in tae world. In the busy season his

and in the dull times there il never less
than 10000. Remove from Illinois it's

alling the number of men employed by
Mr. Armor. There is not rural town in
New England with as large population
as Mr.. Armour has employees.
Averaging the pay of all the employees
OF Mr.. Armour at $50Oa year, he disburs-
in wages. S10,O00,OOO annually. The aver
age is prob ably too small, for he has one
employee to whom is paid $4,000 year
for faithful service. His wage roll is with
in $2,0O0,000 as great as that of the
Northwestern nearly 100000 greater
than the Illinois Central, and 100000
greater than the Lake Shore.

Relation and the Postum.

An incident told by the Rev V. B.
Carroll in The Homiletic Review makes
apparent the necessity in this transi
ton period of getting the negro in
wardly right in order that his relation
ship to society may be right.
We were driving cut one Sunday
from Decatur. when we came upon a
negro. with club in his hand and a
freshly killed possum on his shoulder.
We stopped to examine his prize, and
the colonel said:
''My friend. do you know it is Sun
day?'
''Sartin, boss.
''Are you not religious man?'
81 are I'ze jist on my way home
from church.
''And what sort of religion have you
got that permits you to go hunting on
Sunday p
Religion, religion?' queried the
man as he held the possum up with one
hand and scratched his head with the
other. ''Does you spect any black man
in Alabama is gwine to tie hisself up
to any religion dat lows possum to
walk right across de road ahead of him

In times long gone by active men
combined many vocations. The barber
in those days was also the dentist and
often performed other duties A sign
discovered in southern France recently

man to become. The sign dates back
to the last century and reads:

Throughout the east the bamboo plays
IN important role in nearly every kind
Of outdoor work. In building earth
works it is utilized very cleverly indeed.
In sandy soil or in the soft loan along
the swanps two rows of bamboo are
driven, about four feet apart. The
lengths of bamboo are about 10 or 10
feet long, and the thickness is about
four inches Earth or sand is thrown in
between the rows of bamboo, making
ditch in front of the stockade. A third
row of bamboo is then driven four feet
in the rear of the inner row, but this
row rises only couple of feet above the
natural level of the soil. More earth or
sand is filed in. and the filling in each
case is rammed down as hard as posi-
BILE.
Where there has been a sufficient
length of time to cut portfolios through
the front thickness of earth the men in
the Notifications thus thrown up need
not expose themselves at all, but when,
as In all cases of rapidly constructed
field works, temporary protection alone
has been desired, the rows of bamboo
do not rise more than three feet above
the natural level and the men lie down
! or crouch behind the protection thus
afforded and fire over it.
Such works will keep out any rifle
ball, and will even so localize shrapnel
fire as to make it very ineffective. If
the shrapnel strikes the bamboo before
exploding it will harm only those di-
rectly in front of it. If it bursts before
reaching the earthwork the shrapnel
balls will fail to penetrate it.
