almost everything tells us that spring
Will soon be here once more.
Quite number OF the young folks
attended the dance ut Mr.. John Will
liams, icar Scptus. last Tuesday night.
They all report Il pleasant time.
The people of this community have
organized debating society, which
meets at the lola school house every
Saturday night. Everybody is invited
to attend.
Last Saturday night some one stole Il

goats from his pasture. few nights
before this Mr.. Frank Maycs had ii
quarter of beef stolen from him. 1t is
not known who the theft is.
Mir. Il. j. Smith has at last got his
roller mill in operation and is making
some OF The best flour we ever SAW.

1t Is indeed strange and as true as
strange thai the more strides IL man
makes III Il successful career, the more
enemies he makes. II IL man remains
upon IL level with the mcancst of his
caiimniat0rs, the probability is that he
would not provoke their enmity; but
let him once begin to rise and climb
the ladder OF success and honor, by
continued effort and mnstcrly energy,
and Immediately tha cronkcrs whom he
left behind, rise up and join in IL loud
chorus of nspcrsiOn and lies. The very
fnct OF linn soaring above their heads
constitute him II sure targct for their
calumnies. In every day life we may
notice this wherever we may choose to
look. 1t is the same in all trades and
professions. In the mercantile life,
where the honest toiler has become re-
wartlcd with aiilucncc, for years of pa
ticnt industry, we hear those who en-

cast reflections upon his honor, and
question the legitimacy Of Il success so
great and so coveted Yet it NAV be
that every act OF his life will bear the
closest scrutiny. If Il truly talented

great deal of truth that there is no sin
of which man can be guilty, no un-
kindness, no mcanncss toward his fcl-
low man, which eXcitcs SO much indig-
nation among his contemporaries,
friends and ncighbors, as his success.
This is one objectionable crime which
reason cannot Grfcnd, nor humanity
mitigate. The man whose pen more
glowingly describes thai which is
feebly represented by another: the one
who enunciatcs truth such rs some one

auditors where another fails; one who
