THE GREATEST CHARM.

- i~1zs-t
There isn't girl in the world,
and probably very few Boys, or
older people, who do not desire
to be charming, or pleasing.
Charm of features, figure, or
personality, is power which is
desired and sought after in diffe-
rent ways, by both wise and SIM
pie. The charm that comes from
culture and accomplishments, OF
even of wealth and accompany
ing refinements and artistic taste,
can only be enjoyed by a fortu-
nate few, but the greatest of all
charms, charity of thought and
speech, may be acquired by all.
1t is so easy to find excuses for
our own faults and failures, or
those of our family and friends,
but when We sit in judgment
upon acquaintances and neigh
bors, most of US find 8 a crying
need for discerning all the bad,
and remaining silent to their good
qualities. Saying kindly things
to, and of people, habitually and
sincerely, is one of the most diff
ficult accomplishments to attain.
1t means a complete control of
the tongue as well as the feelings,
and emotions. 1t means a con-
slant repression of ill will or en-
nifty, and the cultivation of a
Golden Rule vocabulary in pri-
vate as well as public speaking,
There is a certain time, and
often a need, for the denunciation
of vice, but if reserved for the
proper place, it would occupy q
very small portion of our time OIL
lives. 1t is the exercise of chari.
ty of thought and word in eve.
ry day life, We need, and which
if cultivated lends lasting charm
to the plainest and humblest. L
parents would but realize the ad
vantages they might give theil
children, by teaching them, by
constant precept and example
the value of verbal charity, they
would cease to sigh for riches ant
honors, to be bequeathed as al
inheritance, and rejoice over tn,
opportunities within the reach o
all. Look as kindly upon tn
deeds. and speak as kindly o
others as you would have then
think or speak of you, and yo,
will acquire a charm that win
friends and palliates foes, as wei
as fits you for any condition il
life.

FINANCES OF MARENGO.
With Proper Management All ObIIga-
 tioHH Can Be Met


 Demopolis. May 16.-(SpecialD-T members of the County Commissioners Court have made a thorough investi- gation of the financial affairs of this County since the robbery of the treas ury, and in their report they assure the tax payers of the County that there should be no question about the Coun- tvs credit, and that, with proper econ omy and management. all it's indebted ness. including the court house bonds, can be paid without the issuance of bonds. This will be welcome news to the tax payers of Marengo. as consid- erable uneasiness was felt by many citizens since the robbery.
 The recent grand jury saddled the bad condition of the public roads in this County upon the shoulders of the County Commissioners. In it's final re- port on the subject 1t says: We find the roads of the County, wth few ex- captions. in unusually bad condition for this season of the year. We find that the Commissioners Court has been neglectful of It's duty in appointing road apportioners. which appears to be the result of ignorance of the road law. as no apportioners were appointed until tho 14th day of March. 1904. and consequently no overseers were ap- pointed or hands apportioned."
