Pointers 10 Young People

~ hsepAN
1t is never smart to say unkind
things.
There would be fewer seamy
sides to life If We all tried to keep
our right sides upsrmost
More often than not broken
hearted" means fractured pride.
Face life fearlessly and you will
discover how little there is to fear
Always; always. if things have
gone wrong you may begin over
and SO right.
Now really, is there any lasting
satisfaction in roasting" anyone3
1t is you alone who can read the
writing on your own heart. See to
it that it is good reading.
You can help to make life one
glad, sweet song by letting the other
fellow have his way once in while.
God gave you brains to think
good thoughts with. Use that Gift
for what it was intended.
When you get that lonesome
feeling hunt some body to do some
thing for.
What the world calls genius is
but the final result of hard work
and intelligent persistence.
Don't borrow trouble; you will
have enough of your own.
A failure finder is sure to gain
for himself warm enemies and
cold friends.
Believe in the better side Of every
person you meet. 1t is optimism
that really saves people.
You'll pass through this world
but once; acquire the habit Of
boosting
Don't be afraid TO fail; be too
proud to cease trying
instead OF always telling mistakes
OF others try to profit by your own
Talk may be cheap, but it has
cost many man his good name,
fame and fortune.
Be original Don't be poor copy
OF somebody else
1t is better to tell the truth and
run than lie and get caught in the
act.
Instead of tearing down others.
build yourself up.
Don't loose faith in yourself if
you wish Others to believe in you
Few men have courage enough
to honor a friends success without
Jealousy.
A friends frown is better than a
foolish smile.
A friend one who considers
my needs before my deserving
The world is looking for the man
who can do something, not for the
man who can explain why he didn't
do it
The world owes every man a
living" said a friend, but he's got
10 hustle to prove the claim
He who seeks happiness alone
will never find it but he who seeks
u be useful viii find happiness at
every turn.
Look pleasant even if you do not
feel so.
Keep your temper, no one else
has any use for it.
The ladder of fame often rests on
a rickety foundation
Don't consider yourself the axle
Of the world; you are only a spoke
in a wheel
The surest receipt to make you
wise; shut your mouth and open
your eyes.-Star of Hope.

COTTON MARKET IS
 AWAITING REPORT FROM GOVERNMENT
During Past Week Fluctua- tions Were Narrow, But Tone Throughout Period
 Was Steady

New Orleans, October 2.-Narrow fluctuations were recorded in the cot ton market last week, the trading be- ing disposed to wait on the govern ment reports on condition and gin- ming before taking on fresh business of importance. Much of the trading in contracts was in the way of even features of the week caused under lying steadiness and prices held most of the previous weeks close. At the highest the trading months were Is to 19 points over the preceding week s close; at the lowest they were to 10 points under Market closed net un- changed to 9 points down.
 The trade appeared absorbed in the pending bureau reports. The very small tenders-about 1000 bales here against October on the first notice day, passed almost unnoticed.
 The week closed with the trade ex- pecting a bearish ginning report from the government Monday, to be fol- lowed by a bullish condition report. Expectations regarding ginning appar- ently range from around 100000 bales up to 4,40O,000. Such figures would break all records, forging to September 25, the present high being 3,677, 900 bales. made in 1911.
 The present low Is 5S.5. made in 1909. Probably it will require figures under 5S to bring about an advance

ALBANY

Albany, October 2.-(Special.) )-Dis- covery that the changing of the name of the postoffice of New Decatur will invalidate the commission of Post master Claude McMillan automatically has precipitated a fight for post master at Albany in the event that the change of cognomen of the city is sanctioned by the postal department.
 Postmaster McMillan has announced that he will be an applicant for re- appointment and T. H. Alexander, as- sociate editor of the Albany-Decatur Daily, has announced that he is an applicant for the place.
 MT. Alexander is the son-in-law of Hon. D. c. Almon, solicitor of the Eighth circuit, who managed Congress- man Almons campaign for reelection. Mir Alexander handled the publicity part of the campaign, and Is close to Congressman Almon. who has an nounced that he will recommend him for the place. MT. McMillan also has strong political backing.
 Investigation has revealed that the appointment must be made for the full four-year term. as changing the name of the postoffice will have the same practical effect as abolishing the affice. The postoffice force will also have to be reappointed.
 Pension warrants for the Confeder- ate veterans of Morgan county have been received at the office of Probate Judge William D. Skeggs here and will be distributed Monday.
 The new tax year for Morgan county begins today, according to announcement of Probate Judge William E. Skeggs. who has served notice that taxes must be paid prior to October 1 to avoid penalties.
