For Honest Men.

If you are in favor Of putting
the idle and dissolute character
out of business vote for men
who do not trade with the idle
and dissolute for their votes.
It's hard to believe that the j.
die and dissolute man can kill
the vote of any law abiding citi-
zens in the country, but it's true
just the same. There is but one
way for the honest man to beat
tie dishonest and that is for
everyone of his law abiding
friends to stand by him and vote
with him against the man and
men who are hobnobbing with
the law breaking element.
A hundred dollar fine and e.
leven months and twenty nine
days on the farm is the way
some judges and magistrates set
'em up to the pistol 'toters.
The judges and magistrates
who soak the offenders against
this law with full penalty pre-
scribed by law are the ones who
deserve rec e tion.-Natchez

make close study of the others
peculiarities, dispositions, tenn
peraments and general makeup,
so as to be real helper in life
work. If practicable their life
should begin with cozy cottage
of their own. It's arrangements
should save all the steps and la
bors of tho wife so as to free
her from the needless drudgery;
she should so arrange her duties
as to keep herself as bright and
as attractive for her husbands

home cheer saves many a man
from evil societies; Its absence
is the cause of thousands of
heart breaks. Let this happy
band seek by close investigation
of each others powers how to en-
rich each others life with the
best each has to give. This pays
better profit in the years of
married life than does any othe r
investment they may make.

HOW TO THRIVE.

This should be the ambition of
young and old, yes cf every one
in all ranks of life. 1t is a posi-
bility within the reach of all.
No one can prevent thrift's bless
ings but those who are too lazy
to strive for possession of it's fa-
vors. Thrift may be we'll defined
to mean common sense applied
to small affairs, to every days,
little duties both at home and in
the busy working world. To
thrive one must make a close
study of surroundings as well
as of personalities That is need
| full. because to act so as to get
| the best results we must know
what we are to get a right knowl-
edge of our life conditions. The
main trouble next to laziness is
ignorance Of our possibilities.
These studies should begin in
earliest years SO as to reap the
largest product from living.
That is, to get the most out OF
ourselves and our opportunities.
In school this should be the prin-
cipal direction of instruction.
| Whether it be taught by the
schoolman or not, each person
has to learn it somehow and at
some time or else be a thriftless
! member of the human family.
But let us get down to the thought
we want our numerous readers
to get hold of, How to Thrive.
Waste is the great toe of thrift.
If we could stop the wasted mo.
ton of the world everybody
could get rich. Suppose we be-
gin by striving to prevent vast
ed steps, wasted moments, vast.
ed thoughts, wasted feelings,
wasted will power. wasted ener-
gy, wasted love-force. wasted
money; these cause the wasting
of life; these are the robbers OF
thrift; these wastes produce pow
erty. Every body can, if they will
stop these causes of evil; no one
need be a fool, nor live poor. nor
live vagabond existance in this
land of great abundance suited
to the need and comfort Of all.
We are put here to make the
best use of our abilities. Our a.
buse, misuse or neglect of this
obligation breeds results that are
deplorable, that are degrading
and dishonorable. To prevent
these human wrongs and lift our
fellows up into a higher. grander
world should be the aim and et-
fort of all who love life.

we never heard better or more

to know that it was we'll received
