CHEER UP.

Cheer up. The rose is redder
Than the ones we saw last year;
The knocking birds song is sweeteT
And happier to hear;
The grass is getting brighter,
And fairer yet to see
The world is growing better
Than il ever used to be-.
Cheer up! The sky is bluer
Than it was n year ago;
The very smiles are gladder
And have richer glow;
The raining and the sunshine
Are helping you and me
The world is growing better
Than it ever used to be.
Cheer up! The rose is sweeter,
The birds have newer songs;
We find more things to please us,
And dream of fewer wrongs.

So let's - like the bee
The world is growing better
For folks like you and me.

L wonder if II young people know
who was our first postmaster general?
He was the postmaster general before
the revolution and was turned out by
King George because he was suspected
of being a rebel and his name was
Benjamin Franklin. WI en- the Dec
laration of Independence was passed
he established an independent line and
boycotted the English system and
afterwards organized a system of our
own. Sir Rowland Hill was the post
master general of England and in 1884
established what was called the penny
post. Before that the English mer-
chants hired men to carry their letters.
When the battle of the Waterloo was
fought the Rothschllds hired private
carriers to bring the n the news of the
great battle. English credit and bonds
and consols were ten away down to
twenty-five cents on the dollar, for
Napoleon was just running rough shod
Over Kingdoms and governments. The
R~othschilds got the news of his defeat
twenty-four hours sooner than the
bankers of London and they secretly
bought up all the bonds and stocks and
consols they could find, and when the
good news cane of the great victory
these bonds and stocks jumped up to
par In a day and the Rothschilds made
many millions ndthis was the beginn-
ing of theil great fortune. 1t was a
mean, dirty trick, but they didn't care.
For nearly Al century they have con-
trolled the finances of the civilized
world and nations could not go to war
without consulting the Rolhschilds.
But now they have 10 take a back seat,
for Pierpont Morgan and Rockefeller
and a few others can control more
money than they can. But our postage
has not yet got to the lowest notch.
The people say it must be reduced to
l cent, and q bill has been introduced
in Congress to that effect and letters
will soon be delivered at almost every
mans house If he lives OH a public
highway. Verify, it passeth compre-
hension. l received a letter and a
paper this morning from Australia.
They had come IL, 900 miles for 6 cents

Now you young people, girls and

about the old times. Sixty-four years
ago, when L was twelve years old, nv
father was the postmaster IN our town
and had to make contracts for cal rying

He gavo these contracts to nee " men

my father made me take his place and
ride the mail to Roswell all winter. II
was twenty. five miles away and L had
to ride there and back in a day, and he
paid me the dollar for every trip. 1t
was a bitter winter and sometimes
when 1 got home L had to be helped
off of the horse, for L was frozen I'D
and helpless. But L was a tough and
hardy boy and always ready for the
next trip.
On my first ride the good old women
on my route did not know me. They
used to knit socks and send them to
town by the old man to sell and carry
back some coffee or sugar or indigo, or
copperas, or some little thing, but they
didn't know me, and I-remember that
n old woman came out to the gate
and said: Are you the mail boy?n
And L laughed and said: eyes, nam,

wAmrs BALL.
The ereenville Mountaineer, March 20.

The Greenyille Mountaineer, March 90.
h message comes from Old Lsurens
that h friend of our youth and riper
years, the comrade in bivouac and in
battle, the beloved brother in an ancient
aud honorable fraternity, whose name
heads this article, has passed from earth
tc his final reward. Col. Ball was a
Courteous and courtly gentleman, a true,
warm hearted and genial friend, q brave,
fearless aud unselfsh soldier, o genuine
and ~unostentatious patriot, a loyal and
devoted citizen, an humble and UMPIRE.
tentious Christian whose soul was in
unison with the highest ideals of a per
rect life. This is not e~xtrayagant eulogy
upon our departed comrado, and those
who have known him from the days of
his young manhood until the present
time will cordially assent to tho descrip-
ton we have given of him in the various
relations Of life.
Col. Ball was gifted by nature and
highly endowed Intellectually. His ami
able disposition and lovable qualities
made him friends in every walk Of life,
and his accomplishments in the world of
letters made him a charming companion
in the most refined circles. Few men
were reader in the realm of literature,
and his writings almost invariably bore
evidence Of his wide acquaintance with
the classics and standard works. He
was fond of using the pen, and for q
number Of years at intervals he edited
the local newspapers in Lsurens. 1t was
as a friend and citizen that he will be
sadly missed, and from the children to
he aged of his community there will be
unaffected sorrow at the death Of one
who was univ ,rsally loved and respected
He had filed many places Of honor
among the people whom he loved, and
their trust in him was never shaken
under any circumstances He is gone
from the scenes Of his youth, and has
outlived the host who gaily welcomed
him as a companion in those halcyon
days; he has seen comrades by the scores
and hundreds pass ove the river ahead
Of him, and at a ripe age he has been
gathered to his fathers, honorcd in every
avenue Of laudable work and ambition,
and mourned by the State whose every
interest was dear to his mind and heart
