WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.
Bluffs Times: Gud-bi, nu spelin, gud-
bi.
olney Advocate: Nothing hurts con-
ceited man like being ignored.
Arkansas Gazette: The best the weather.
can do is to plead previous good conduct.
Brownsville Herald: With too many
people charity is more of fad than vir-
tue.
Van Buren, Local: It is sure thing
that one can't be sure of anything in this
world.
Arkansas Gazette: Our single track
rivers are doing the best they can to carry
off the the floods that have fallen.
Buffalo Times: With Congress and the
State Legislatures in session, "Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?"
Vandalia Union: There are three classes
of undesirable citizens in every commune
ty, the knocker, the mossback and the
wilmer.
Arkansas Gazette: Compulsory at
tendane of public schools is not SO urgent
matter as the compulsory providing of
public schools for children to attend.
Edgefeld Advertiser: The legislature
convenes on Tuesday next, and the only
advice that the Advertiser offers to the
solons is that they pass as few laws as
possible.
Terrell Transcript: A man had better
die poor it his hoarded-wealth comes by
piracy and pillage, even though it is under
the respectable guise of commerce and
progress.
Baltimore Sun: The investment of
money in sound and wise local enterprises
is always advisable, because they increase
the value of the property in community
and so pay in more ways than one.
Terrell Transcript: Every man should
be a member of the square-deal club. He
would be better for it and the community
in which he lives would be better, also.
The world has many organizations, but
there is plenty of room for this one more.
Edgefield Advertiser: The suggestion
of the Charleston News and Courier that
the legislature pass law prohibiting the
use of matches that will strike on anything
except the box, is being well received.
"Rats and matches" have caused millions
of dollars worth Of property to go up in
smoke. Several States already prohibit
the use of any except safety matches.
Wilmington Messenger: The Charlotte
Chronicle quotes the Norfolk Landmark as
saying that ''they say that the real name
of Senator jeff Davis, of Arkansas, is
Jeffries Davis; then there ought to be
some law to make him use it" The Mes
senger some time ago called attention to
the proper Christian name Of this man and
protested against the newspapers desig-
mating him Jeff or jefferson, We hope he
will hereafter go by the name he bears and
which suits his character and disposition.
Timpson Times: II you would increase
your happiness and prolong your life, for
get your neighbours fault. Forget all the
SANDER you have heard. Forget the fault
finding and give little thought to the cause
which provoked it. Forget the peculiari-
ties Of your friends and only remember
the good points which made you fond Of
them. Forget all personal quarrels or
histories you may have heard by accident
and which if repeated would seem thou
sand times worse than they are. Obliterate
every thing terrible from your yesterday;
start out with clean sheet to-day, and
write upon it for sweet memory's sake only
those things which are lovely and loveable.
Thus you will make life better worth living.
