There was never a preacher or

There was never a preacher or
president, poet or a politician
who canplease everybody. There
never was a thinker, a tinker or
a tailor. or a sailor who could
suit all. Show US a doctor, a
lawyer, a merchant or an editor
who pleases the whole multitude
if you can. The Lord Himself
and all the angels of Heaven have
never half succeeded in comfort
ing the human race. This is a
heterogeneous world anyway,
while there are some who are
apparently born to disagree and
find fault with the balance of
mankind. The thing to do is to
do the best you can with the OPP
pOrtunities you have at your
command, and worry not over
the criticism and ingratitude of
your fellows.-Greenville Demo

1T is more fun to see a man
reading a puff of himself in a
newspaper than to see a fat man
slip on a banana peel. The mar
row minded man reads it over
six or eight times and then goes
around to appropriate what cop
les he can. The kind hearted
man goes around to the Office
and pays what he owes. The

vertises regularly and makes
money by it, Immediately starts
