comfort on everybody else. A really
aggressive and well-developed speci-
men will overshadow a locality like a
banyan tree, yielding the whole year
through bitter to the taste, and not to
be digested without serious injury.
Those people supply an ample stock of
friction they bring out the latent pos
sibilities of general unpleasantness in a
large or small circle; they sow of dis
cord, not only in fallow ground, but by
the wayside, and are FOLLOWED by album
dant harvests of the kind that are sown
with joy but resped with tears.
Cigarettes and crime have been going
hand in hand, according to statistics for
so long, that it is wonder that there
is a youthful smoker outside of the
limits of the chaingang and the refor-
matories. When the law fails to cor
rect the smoking of cigarettes by
| abolishing their sale, why cont paren-
tai influence come to it's rescue with
the rod of Solomon, if necessary AS
a corrector of bad habits that old rod
has few superiors.
OF all the thousands of newspapers.
OF varying degrees of intellectual
ability, how many are they which do
not exhibit in their conduct the guild
ance OF moral principle? The number
is very small. Almost invariably news
papers are on the side of righteousness
and right living in the communities
where they are published, and their
combined influence, the greatest in
modern society, is exerted to that end
The census of the state of Georgia
will probably go far beyond the 2,oOO.-
600 mark. The census of the state in
in 1890 showed 1887 1853 people, which
was an increase of Is per cent over the
census of 1880. If the same rate pre-
walls this time the population of Geor.
gia will be about 100000 as result
of the census recently.
In times gone by it was considered
the saddest misfortune to be left an or
phan. But this is changed now. A
Marietta lady remarked that it was
necessary to be an orphan nowadays
IN order to receive the best training.
The Orphans Homes are really luxur-
urious, and the rich women of the
large cities are looking after the poor
of the most abjectly forlorn districts
as has never been done before.
Advertisements are read at all times,
without regard to whether the business
season be dull or active. Therefore
the business man who advertises when
business is quiet is bound to be remem-
bered by the purchasing public when
commercial activity becomes greater.
Whosoever among merchants can keep
himself in the public mind will enjoy
the greatest amount of custom.

If you can't find job, go and make
one, young man. Jobs don't float
around in the air with fifty and seventy
hive dollar salaries attached. A man
has to work like blazes to get a Job
nowadays, and if he expects to keep it
he must continue to work Just that
way.
The passing around gathering news
items gives the reporter good deal of
experience of human nature. One man
out of every ten will Immediately an
swer that he does not know any news,
and it is only by engaging him in con-
versation that he refreshes his memory
and drops out information that you
can utilize into an item.
Mr.. Will King is scarry of snakes.
and the report that snakes have been
seen on Washington avenue at night,
by one or two persons, gives him the
horrors, and he feels more like sitting
up all night than going home.
The writer, once standing around
after election, in Marietta, Ga, listened
to the different candidates speak of the
cause of their defeat. The election
was on the first Tuesday in January,
for county officers, and the weather was
very cold and snow on the ground. A
man by the name of billiard Young
spoke up and said the cause of his de-
feat for clerk of the superior court was
that his supporters were all poor men
and not able to have good shoes, and
consequently could not get out in the
snow and cold and attend the election
and vote for him, but the rich men
with good shoes were out against him.
