GOSPEL TENT MEETINGS.

| want to ask the prayers and CO.
operation of all Gods children in Ma
rietta and vicinity for the highest sue
cess Of our special efforts for bringing
souls to Jesus. We are going out of
the usual way, somewhat, by using a
tent, and while some might claim that
our churches are sufficient, yet we have
considered all this prayerfully and feel
that we are justifiable and that the end
will justify the means
The meetings will be conducted by
laymen principally, as we think that Il
layman can do more with some people
than preacher can. We want Chris
tians of all denominations to aid us in
any way they can, and we shall call on
laymen from all of our churches to con-
duct meetings from time to time.
The tent will be erected for the first
series of services on top of the hill above
the knitting mills. The first services
begin next Sunday afternoon at ,
o'clock The second service will be
held Monday night.

SRLF-MADE.

Think you, young man, that any one
of great men, or thousands OF others Of
the worlds great men in every field
was any more self-made than the other?
Surely not. 1t is true that some have
had greater obstacles to overcome than
others, but the very work of fighting
developed them and helped them what
they were. Some were more gifted by
nature than others, and outstripped
those who were weaker. But mind you,
every man was what he was because he
had in degree worked and developed his
peculiar talent or his peculiar genius.
No one else did it for him. A man may
be born with an extraordinary mind,
but if he makes all exUraordinary:man,
he must work. He may inherit riches,
but il he accumulates more, he must
work. He may even be Iborn a king,
but it depends on himself what kind of
king, he will be.
Do not deceive yourself, or let others
deceive you, into believing that you
will ever be anything but self-made. If
you ever become poet or painter or
q sculptor, statesman or an orator. a
preacher or a leader of men, it will be
because you are made such by your
own will and work Sad to say, on the
other hand, if you become thief, an
extortioner, a murderer, highway
man, tramp, it will be- because you
make Yourself one.

LAWYERS.

1t is idle to talk against lawyers.
Such nonsense will do when we are
moving along smoothly, but when prop
erty rights and pers onal liberty are in
danger we clamor for the aid of this
much abused class. In every civilized
country the lawyers stand between the
people and oppression. Without them
reconstruction would have left the
South under republican and negro rule,
They are an unselfish set of men. Very
few accumulate fortunes, and, like ply
sicians, they give their time and talents
to the poor without remuneration.

TIE DRIFT.

The drift Of rural population to cit
les has long been a characteristic OF re-
cent times. Every census in recent
years, says an exchange. both in this
country and in Europe, has shown the
vastly greater growth OF cities as COM
pared with rural regions. If farmers
would feed the ambition of the young,
If they were to give their children
something that they could call their
own, share in ownership that they
might improve by industry, something
that would stimulate ambition and
awaken pride, there would in all likeli-
hood be less discomfort with country
life and less of longing for the untried
and unknown life of the city.

smells a certain unmistakable odor, and
especially If that odor becomes percepti-
bic in the vicinity of a loose pile of
boulders or a rock Uttered ravine, Jack
instantly concludes to move elsewhere,
though he may be half dead with weari-
ness. For he wants no dealings with the
hydrophobia skunk.
1t is safe to say that of all the wild
creatures of the Cante ranges not one OF
them, with the possible exception Of this
strange skunk, will attack man unless
wounded or suddenly frightened. Even
the grizzly bear Is deeply imbued with
man-dread. But the hydrophobia skunk,
like the porcupine and some other small
animals, seems 10 love the hamts of men,
the smell of cooking and campfires, and If
there is half chance he will come prowl-
ing around after dark, entering tent or
howell without fear and even creeping
over the sleeping bodies of men, Many
Of the wild creatures give warning in
some way of their presence, but the n.y.
drophobia skunk, while he is provided
with the odoriferious defense common to
his tribe, will often appear without CIV
ing his usual warning. And he is feared
not on account of his odor, but because
he bites and scratches, fighting very
much like a wounded badger, and his bite
is said to be followed invariably by by
drophobia.
From rattlesnakes Jack protects him
self at night, as he firmly believes, by
surrounding the spot on the sand where
he is to sleep with his RATA, or horse-hair
rope, it being his belief that snakes will
not cross over horse-hair, but from the
hydrophobia skunk there is no defense,
except vigilance. Camp with a band OF
cowboys almost anywhere in the South
west and sooner or later you will hear
many dreadful stories of this terror by
night, and some of the cases are so we'll
authenticated that there can be no doubt
of their truth 1t is difficult to get very
clear description from the cowboys OF
the hydrophobia skunk, for the reason
that he usually appears at night, makes
his attack and disappears without pay
ing his respects. They all agree, how
ever, that he is much smaller than the
ordinary skunk of the Eastern and Mid
die states, with longer tail, and that
he is much more active in his move
ments He is plainly the animal known
as Spogate gracilis, commonly called
the Little Striped or Spotted Skunk, q
cousin of the ordinary Spilogale putorius
of the, East. And like his larger relative,
he wears a fine soft fur coat, which has
a value in the market.

good sport for his lariat. He will shake
a tarantula from his blanket and go to
sleep in them afterward with philoso-

respect for the rattlesnake, aud though
he is bitten there is comfort in the
