THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE.


Every girl can do some one thing
that will leave the world better for
her having lived in it.
The great trouble with nearly all
girls is that they want to do, big
things and are not content with the
small. every day chances that come
their way.
1t is really the little things that
round out and make perfect charac-
ter. -
We can't all be great singers OF
painters, but we can all be sweet.
tempered and cheerful, doing our
duty where it lies plain before us,
and doing it to the best of our abil.
ity.
Surprising you are seamstress,
typewriter, saleswoman or engaged
in any of the many occupations open
to women; make up your mind to ill
that position to the very best you
can. Don't think it small chance
and not worth putting your best en-
deavor into. Everything that is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well.
Make up your mind to do what you
do today little better than you did
it yesterday. By doing this you will
avoid mOnOt0ny and distaste for your
work.
Cultivate as far as you are able any
talent you may have Always bear
in mind that the talents cultivated
for home use are doing just as noble
work as those cultivated for the pub.
lie.
The girl with sweet little voice
need not feel discouraged because she
has no opportunity to sing in grand
operas. She can give great pleasure
by being a songbird in the home nest.
Or if she has kBack with the brush
and pencil, let her give her artistic
tendencies full sway in making the
home pretty.
And the greatest talent of all lies
in making others happy You can
brighten the whole day for some dis
couraged heart by a pretty little
speech or action.
Don't think about yourself: think
of the people you are with; seize
every opportunity that comes your
way to perform gracious act. Big
opportunities are rare; little ones
come every hour. !,
If it is your lot to sit aside and
watch others more fortunate than
you whirl along on the great tide OF
life. don't feel that you are useless
and o burden to your friends. &
The best woman we ever saw lay on
her couch for years. The nearest
glimpse of spring she had was the
waving of tree tops, and yet, when
ever a visitor entered the room she
always exclaimed; Isn't. the spring
beautiful. /" Her face was often
drawn and quivering with pain, but
her eyelids always smiled.
That woman was not a failure.
Everyone in the swillag. brought her
their joys and woes and went awav

Make the most of your small chances
dear girls, and you'll forget to worry
over the lack of big ones.

HOMES OF THE POOR.


Homes OF the poor! Sacred shrines
OF earth where the alter fires of gent
us have been lighted. May the
world forever be blessed with mod
crate want. The human mind is
never whole till it has suffered, and
it is better that the angel of poverty
should mete out the required suffer-
ing in the form of a perpetual re-
straint, than that it should burst like
the thunderstorm from the azure sky
of luxury, darkening with its clouds
the sun of life.
The home of the poor man does not
necessarily mean home of suffering,
save in that humiliation and restraint
to which it is necessary for all souls
to be subjected in order to develop
The poor mans home need not be
devoid of o certain degree of luxury.

A New Circuit.

Col. D. B. Jay. went up to. Cor
dele yesterday to attend meet
ing of bar association, which is
comprised of the attorneys of
several counties wishing Ito be
created into new judicial circuit.
Col. Jay is very much pleased
at the action taken at the meet
ing. 1t was determined TO ask
the legislature to Create at its
next session a new circuit to be
composed of the three new. coun.
ties of Crisp, Turner and Tiff
and the old counties of Coffee,
Wilcox and Irwin. This will
take one county each from four
judicial circuits and two, from
the Oconee circuit, to-wit: Will
COX and Irwin, but since the new
county of Tom bs has been added
to the Oconee. circuit, which is
already one of the largest in the
state, it will equal:ze the effect
almost perfectly between FIVE
judicial circuits,
We are to be congratulated on
the probability of securing this
new circuit and we most heartily
commend Col. jays efforts in
this particular. He might have
had-should have had. the CO.
operation. that is, the active asa
sistance of the LOCAL bar. But
this is not the only instance in
which Col. Jay has laid aside his
personal duties and neglected
his Office and business for the
community's. good. The Eater
prise congratulates Fitzgerald
on the, prospect for the new cir
cult.

City Council Proceedings

The Council held an interest
ing meeting last night. The
mayor and full board of alder
men we're present. After read
ing and confirming the minutes,
the first matter taken up was
the purchase of a dinamo belt.
After considerable discussion,
which brought out the fact that
we had quite a number of belt
and leather experts on the board
of aldermen, the purchasing
committee were directed to trade
with Grafton & Knight for a Is
inch belt at $2.85 per foot.
Then came the question of
