A VALUABLE AND SINCERE TRIP TO

Status of the College Classes in The Journals Inauguration
Trip Campaign Shows That Those Who Enter These
Classes Now Obtain Place. The Journals Washington
Party-Enty Lists Close January

Are you a student in a southern col
lege? If so would you appreciate a
five-day trip to the city of Washington
for the Inauguration of President Wood
row Wilson and to see all the wonder
full things of interest in the capital city?
To those who can answer these two
questions in the affirmative The Jour
NAILS Inauguration Campaign Trip Ed
itor offers a sincere and valuable tip.
This paper is going to take 1875 south
ern college and school boys to Wash
ington. Forty of these will be college
boys-twenty who attend colleges in At
lanta and Fulton county and twenty-five
who are enrolled in colleges anywhere
in the south outside Atlanta and Fulton
county.
In the last standing of the campaign,
published Monday, December 20, only
twenty-four of the boys entered in the
Atlanta and Fulton county college class
had as many as 200 coupons to their
credit-just three more boys than there
will be free trips. The ratio in the
class devoted to college boys outside
Atlanta and Fulton county was about
the same. Out of forty-four entries
only thirty had as many as 200 coupons
to their credit. In this latter class
there are twenty-five free trips.
1t can be seen at a glance that the
competition in these two classes is, at
this time, merely nominal. College boys
who enter either of these classes now
will have a very excellent opportunity
to obtain one of the free trips. just a
little determined, energetic work in Sc
curing subscriptions to The Journal will
turn the trick

JEFFERSONIAN SIMPLICITY

Democrat, Too Plans Truly
JefferSonian Affair.
tBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Jeffersonian
simplicity is to mark the coming in
auguration of President-elect Wilson.
There will probably be the greatest out
pouring of people that has ever marked
the Inauguration of a president, but
according to Chairman William G. Eus-
tbs, of the committee. there will be no
ostentation. He contends that true de-
mocracy demands that there be no dis
play and he is upheld by Thomas Nelson
Page, who is quoted as saying:
president Jefferson's act of riding up
Pennsylvania avenue on horseback has
been derided. but the people who have
studied history have realized that ne
did it in a dignified manner. and that
his Inauguration had at least as much
real dignity and true simplicity as that
of any president"
The subscriptions to the S150,000 fund
for the inaugural affair is growing fast.
Notwithstanding the Christmas season.
1t undoubtedly will be oversubscribed.

Reputation

Reputation is a thing that men are
always trying to get or lose. To n
man a reputation may be a great help;
to another a serious hindrance. The
man who wishes to get rid of his repu-
tation finds that everybody else is try
ing to compel him to keep it, while the
nan who is endeavoring to hold fast to
his reputation seldom succeeds in find
ing anyone who is willing to lend him
assistance. Reputation makes one man
proud and adother ashamed. 1t brings
happiness to one family and misery to
another. If it is good it may be de-
stroyed in a moment; if it is bad, years
of constant and earnest efforts are nee
essary to demolish it. Reputation is one
mans greatest asset, another's heav-
lest liability. One man may travel far
upon his reputation. while anotherfinds
that his reputation is an obstacle which
he cannot climb yer Reputation
makes n mar strong and another
weak; it is better than wealth and
worse than disease; it insures success
and makes failure certain; it commands
esteem and rouse scorn. The man
who is making a good reputation must
rely wholly upon his own efforts; he
who is making a bad reputation may
easily find plenty Of people who will be
glad to help him. A good reputation
must be constantly guarded. A bad
reputation is made more durable by
every attack. Chicago Record Herald.

The retirement of Col. Brewer from

He gave years to the service of the

We are having a hard time making

law about arrears and that we have to
live up to it. We gladly quote what
the Bismarck Tribune has to say about
it: Many Of the weekly papers of the

that subscribers, more than one year in
arrears, will be cut off the subscription
list. This in conformity with q ruling
recently made by the postofice depart
ment and there is no other course for
the publishers to take. It is probably
. good thing for the newspaper men.
They have been doing a great deal Of

papers to those whose never desired to
