MISTAKES.

To make a mistake and then wall
about it is to make two. Everybody
makes mistakes. With some it is d
regular occupstion-thato of doing the
wrong thing and bowling about it,
Benefit by your errors, and you will be
making progress. The world isn't as
busy minding the business of individ-
uals as we think. and while it may
chatter little it is quick to forget
Dalton Citizen.
Let him or her who has never made
3 mistake hold up his hand. AS long
as mans judgment is based upon err
roneous conclusions he will make mis-
takes. No one is exempt. We learn
as much from our mistakes as from our
successes. We ought to have man.
hood to acknowledge our mistakes
and seek not to make them the second
time, and also to be generous and char
liable in our criticisms Of others who
have done as we have done, made mis-
takes. But ofttentimes selnshness,
envy and jealousy will not allow our
better nature to control our words and
acts and we cause heart burnings by
hitter speech and cruel criticisms of
the mistakes Of our fellowman, who af-
ter all, has good heart, loyal dispo-
sitiOn and generous impulses.

City life looks to the country young
people, who are tired of their daily
rounds in quiet places, very enticing
and full OF pleasures, but there is not a
SPOT in all the world so lonely as in the
heart OF a great city, when one is alone
and unknown, an atom in a seething
mass of humanity whose fate is the per-
sonal concern OF none. Keep within the
heartening touch Of family and neigh
borhood friends, if possible, dear young
people, going out from among them
only in quest OF the higher life, or be-
cause duty demands outside service for
the good of the home.

We received a letter from P.

ing the winter. He says the weather
has been mild there and plenty of
sunshine, though cool nights pre-
vail. The season is as we'll adj
vanced there now, as Cherry coun-

for first cutting and small grain is
heading out. All sorts of garden
vegetables on the market. He
says there are people from al
most all parts of the world there
and Of all colors and shades of the
human race, from the coal black
to the pure white. Also most of
the ailments, but consumption is
most prevalent. Some recover
but a very large per cent die and
many are buried there. Mr.. Sui
Ivan says his health has been gen.
orally good with the exception of
one or two light colds. He thinks
of going to California soon and
probably to Washington. We

several copies Of newspapers sent
us from Phoenix, Ariz., which
