The Boy Who fleets the Train.

The boy who meets the train
is not az isolated example. OF.
ten he is so well represented at
the village and small town sta.
tions that he makes a crowd.
He makes the trip from one to
four or more times when not bu.
sv at something else. Usually he
is on time, reaching the depot as
much as fifteen minutes before
the train arrives, and spending
as much time after il leaves.
There is little to do but idly
watch the train and its passengers
to see who gets off, and talk with
Others who came with as little
purpose as himsalf.
Long day journeys prove that
the number of boys who meet
the train is large. How ruth
lessly they waste time. The hour
or two spent each day in meet
ing the trains is largely wasted,
and yet they do not seem to give
it serious thought. They lack
IA plan or any definite object.
Nothing has to be done, so why
not seek a little excitement as
the train goes through? The work
that belonged strictly to that day
was out of the way, and what
had to be done in the future
would be disposed of in the same
way. Their attitude is appar-
emily aimless. They 60 to the
train expecting something to turn
up and they are starting in life
the same way.
Usually those who expect some
thing worth while to happen as
the train runs are disappointed,
and the same is true of those
who start into life without a
pain The boy may get less than
he aims at, but he will hardly
ever get more. 1t takes a vision,
an ideal, if you please, to bring
success. Something worth work
ing for must be conceived and
kept before the minds eye. Then
il the thing is going to be done
there won't be much time for

meeting rains" or otherwise
spending time aimlessly. 1t is
true that tOday's work may be
finished in time to idle some
hours, but If tOmorrow's work is
to be made little better, some
studying and planning will have
to be dnLe.
1t is mistake to preach or
practice all work and no play,
but going &c the train or loafing
at the store does not fail into Ell
Their class. Either of these is
just killing time, for the average
boy or man. Whether it is work
or play, the way to get the most
out of it is to 90 at 1t in earnest.
Half-hearted play and half.hea art
ed work are alike unsatisfy ing.
There is always something worth
doing for pleasure or profit. just
plain loafing need have very,
very small place in the life of
any One.-SOuthern Agrlclutu-

The Times In Error.

Last week we made mention of
the marriage of Rev. M. T..
Chandler. In this we were in
error. 1t was son of Rev. NJ.
I. Chandler Who married. Mrs.
Chandler, a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Mauppin, and a SIS.
ter to Mrs. Jesse Eaton, of this
city, is still living. The Rev.
Mr.. Chandler is located at Gym
thiana instead of Paris. The
publication of snch an article is
very embarrassing to the family
IN this city aud to us as we'll. We
read the marriage notice In an
exchange,in which the initials M.
t. were brought into. use, and
conjectured a little too far. We
regret the error as much as any
one could, though we acted in
good faith in publishing the
item.

In the room at the time of the trouble

was TO the effect that angry words and
bad language was heard In the room (;
that the reports OF two pistol shots In
quick succession were heard. and that
when Blanks came out of the room he
declared that he had been shot by Nun
nally. Witnesses who entered the

was given as to the relations existing
