HOPEFUL AND CHEERING.
For The Marietta Journal ]

When we see or hear of an act which
is helpful to the world it should be
noted with pleasure, Such actions are
no. at ali rare at this time in our south
land. nor. indeed, in any civilized coun-
try. Witness the many references in
regard to such acts in the columns of
our best daily and weekly papers. Here
in Floyd county plain, industrious
young man has been encouraged by the
owners OF well-equipped cotton mill
and is now in Lowell, Massachusetts,
being instructed in the textile school
there, and is already appointed as su-
perintendent of the factory in Rome,
Ga, which will be in full operation by
1905 or sooner. We should encourage
every young man or woman in our
Dixie to make of him or herself the
very best and most useful individual
possible Paul Redmond, young though
he is, has bright, hopeful day before
HIM. Over year ago read one of the
most grateful, affectionate and loving
letters from him to his mother, and
then said to friend that such heart
God will bless, and yesterday when /
read one to his father, written from
Lowell, the following lines rose, i'm
promptu, to my mind:
JEWELS.
A jewel show was held in Rome,
Long centuries ago:
One matron brought her twelve young
sons
In youthful beauty's glow.
"Here are my jewels, precious, dear,
They live and breathe for me,
They're ready now to serve you, sir,
To shape Rome's destiny"
The other ladies felt chagrin,
To see their gems, so rare,
Unable to compare with hers,
And sat in mute despair.
Ay, so it is, and so twill be,
While endless ages roll,
For brightest gems that God ere made
Are jewels with soul

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes 1Bt as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
