WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

and you will do great things well.
State Journal: The man who is honest
doesn't have to get out three-sheet posters
to advertise the fact.
St. Louis Republic: Few men who are
unable to stand prosperity ever achieve
any great degree of success.
Highland Leader: Many woman has
married a fool for love; but few mistakes
would be made if fools never had money.
Florida Times-U Mon: knowledge would
be more general if men could only be con-
WINGED that they do not know as much as
they think they do.
St. Louis Republic: Washington clerks
who have been working the Government
are startled by MIR. Garfield's order that
they must work themselves.
st. Louis Republic: Butternilk is not
as exhilarating as booze, but he who in
dulges doesn't have to place wet towels on
his head the next morning.
Sparta Argonaut: A loaf of bread to a
starving man is better than ten treaties on
THE Right Way to Eat Sois deed of
kindness worth more than ten precepts on
the beauty of a religious life.
st. Louis Republic: The souls Of some
men may be reckoned in ounces and even
apothecary's weight, but most folks will 60
on in the good old belief that great soul
of Importance outweighs all human effort
to estimate its relation to material things.
Ashville (Ala.) Egis: The Legislature
is recessing, after increasing official sala-
ries, creating number of dead beat Of
fees, increasing the pay of those already
devouring the substance of the land with
no return, and making the corporate mu-
nicipal measures safe.
Columbia Herald: Newspapers are the
best givers in any community. No one
but the newspaper man knows the amount
OF free service the newspaper daily and
weekly gives the public causes. The
newspaper sets an example of public SER
nifty may well emulate.
st. James Journal: The only thing that
walks back from the tomb with the mourn
ers and refuses to be buried is character.
That is true. What a man is survives him.
1t can never be buried 1t stays about the
home when his footsteps are heard there no
more. 1t lives in the community where he
was known; hence we should take care to
build into our characters only beautiful
things.
Clarksdale Miss. Banner: From every
viewpoint the farming class of this
country is in better shape now than at any
period since the civil war; More people
own their own homes and little farms:
more are free from the yoke of bondage
inflicted by burdensome debts; more are
becoming independent each year by maxi
ing comfortable living for their families:
more are waking up to the necessity Of
giving their children better educational
advantages, and withal, prosperity and
contentment seem to prevail throughout
the country. Let progress still be our
watchword.
st. Louis Republic: II the New Eng
land cotton manufacturers already feel
themselves threatened by the competition
OF the Southern mills, their only remedy
is to move their plants to the South, where
the industry is more cheaply carried on.
They must not expect the Federal Govern
ment to override State laws and break
through State lines in order to protect them
against economic conditions that are
steadily becoming less favorable.
