GROWING BETTER.

The world is growing better
Despite the narrowing tales and
crimes we see narrated in the big
dailies, the people of this country
are constantly becoming better.
Where once stood a cross road
grocery may be found church of
some denomination seeking to
lead men to look above the low,
groveling things of earth al d re-
new within themselves a right
spirit. Where ignorance once
held high carnival a school house
now stands, where the children
of the country are daily walking
by the still waters of literature.
Cline is on the decrease, most of
the defenses now are small ones,
and realizing more fully the duties
and responsibilities of citizenship,
we are therefore striving TO be
more able to meet them as they
come.

JOINT DEBATES.

Here in Georgia there are some peo-
pie clamoring for joint debates between

the two candidates for governor are
having joint debates. Here is speci-
men of what joint debate degenerates
into:
Governor jeff Davis is conducting u
campaign to save his official bacon, and
his opponent is his attorney general,
bob" Rogers. At a barbecue the
other day, Governor jeff made rat

did this morning. He metlme in the

he would kill me. What do you think
of an attorney general running for gov
ernor going around threatening to COM
NIT murder? [ want to say that I do
not think Bob Rogers ought to be elect

Attorney General Bob Rogers was
among those who also spoke at the bar
becue, and he answered the Hon. Jeff's
accusation in the following words:

turning to the crowd. do 1 look like

A pathetic story comes from
Colebrook, Conn. For many years
Rev Mr. Taylor had been totally
blind. During all the time he
prayed for a restoration of his
sight. The other morning he
awakened and was astonished to
see the bright sunlight streaming
through his window. Going to
the window he looked out and saw
the trees and fields and houses, as
he had seen them many years be-
fore. Falling OH his knees he
poured out his heart in gratitude
for the great boon that had been
vouchsafed to him. But his great
jov was too much for his brain.
In an hour or two he became pos
sessed of the idea that he was suf-
fering from hallucination; that
ne could really not see at all, but
that he had suddenly gone crazy
and his senses were playing pranks
on him. And before nightfall he
had really become raving maniac,

SPENT THOUSANDS TO GET YER
DICT.

At Windfall, Ind, Adam Repp,
one of the wealthiest farmers of
Tiptcn county, has just given an
elaborate dinner to all his neigh
bors and friends in celebration of
his victory over w. G. Legg, an
other wealthy farmer.
The men have been III the courts
for more than two. years over a
dead horse, the original price of
which was $81. After paying out
more than ST. 900 each for attor-
ney's fees, Repp, who claimed he
had been swindled when he bought
the horse, was awarded q verdict
of ST..
Of course this carried the costs to
his opponent. These amount to
81 ,482, consequently Legg's court
expenses stand him at So, 423, or
rather 81, 433, for he must pay 81
to Repp.

TEMPER YOUR BITTERNESS.

In the play Resurrection, a
most interesting scene is that in
the jury room. It will be remem-
bered by those who have witnessed
that striking play that a woman
was on trial for her life, and many
of the jurors expressed very strong
sentiment for and against the de-
PENDANT. Every ore of these jurors
was "cocksure" he was right,
whether he favored acquittal or
conviction. A gray-haired and
gray bearded Juror, who, by the
way, was very hard. of hearing,
was finally persuaded to express
his opinion. Turning first to the
jurors on his right, then to the
jurors on his left and finally to
the jurors in front of him, he re-
iterated with great deliberation--
Observation-Disclosures! I"
1t is more than probable that
every man has done things of
which he is heartily ashamed. It
is more than probably that in the
life of every man there are several
chapters which he would not de.
sire to have revealed to public
gaze.
"We are none of us saints, -
and it is safe to Say that the man
whose disposition is to hasten to
the rock pile has the most need of
the injunction: LET him that is
without sin cast the first stone "
When in the discussion of one
who has displeased us we are
tempted to say harsh things, we
should look over our own record
and see whethe: we have been as
ciroumspect as we should have
been, We should stop to consider
that perhaps our enemy has had
pressing upon him such force
OF dlsadvantageous circum-
tances that he could not Away do
as we would wish him to do or as,
perhaps, he would have preferred
to do.
When we are tempted to say
that our enemy has been immoral,
should we not at least look over
our own record and determine
whether we have always lived up
to the moral law?
In undertaking to enumerate
the shortcomings of our enemy,
should we not be bit careful
lest we charge him with the very
sins of which we, ourselves, have
been guilty?
1t is very serious mater for
those to whom a distinguished
candidate for congress once re-
ferred as "human men" to engage
in wholesale accusation against
their fellows. "We are none of
us saints" and every one of us
have so many shortcomings, some
of one kind aud some of another,
that even though the milk of hu-
man kindness does not run SO
regularly as to prompt us to avoid
intilcting needless wounds and
creating unnecessary scars, con-
sideration of the law of self-pre-
servation should tie our tongue
and temper our bitterness.
