MAKING MONEY FLY.

Making money fly is all right, pro
vided 1t flies to purpose and collects
interest on the way.
But too many people forget the pur
pose and lose the interest.
1t requires time, energy and perse
verence to earn money, but it needs
only moment of foolishness to make
ii fly.
AT the beginning of new year of
uncertainty II might be well for US
to take few of these little lessons
to heart.
The mighiest OF trees spring from
little roots, but each year they grow,
and thrive, until in time they become
giants of the forests. They never fly.
The greatest Of fortunes found their
inception in humble beginnings. There
was much saving, but no flying.
The prosperity of this community
depends upon its productiveness and
the ability Of its people to save.
Saving is a little word, but it is the
cornerstone upon which every giant
commercial enterprise is reared.
The wise man spends without stint |
for that which he needs, but he regu-
lates his requirements to allow for
liberal amount of systematic saving.
People who save not in youth have
not in old age. Where the inclination
is lacking no incentive exists, and
without an incentive there is little
future to life.
Work, save, and you will always
nave.
Make it fly, and you will soon be in
want.

!. The Star OF January 2, 1875, note
the killing OF gray eagle by Mr.. I
Fairbanks at Americus on the 21st G
December. 1874. 1t measured I fee
J from tip to tip of the wings.
The Star mentions this item in tn
February issue: "The Moss Poln
and Pascagoula Telegraph Company
An act Incorporating such compan,
has passed both houses of the legis
lature. making M. A. Dees and c. F
Payne and such other persons as ma,
unite with them body corporate t
erect. maintain and operate line
from Moss Point to East Pascagoult
and exempts them for ten years from
the privilege tax imposed on Other
lines in the State"
In the same edition Of the Star we
excerpt the following news notes
I'VE are glad to see that work is re.
sumed at Captains Polls shipyard.
The schooner Molly Emma, Captain
Nelson, was hauled out on the ways
ON Thursday, under the supervision of
Mr.. J. c. Valverde."
The Star on March 9th, 1875, has
something further to report anent
shipbuilding: "Pascagoula had been
actively engaged in barge. building of
late, and it shows that the demand
for transportation for lumber is stead.
lily on the increase. Last week four
large barges, built for Messrs. Bercier
and DeSmet by Mr.. Tagert, were
launched opposite the Communy place
below the railroad bridge. Mr.. Pickett
is building one at the head of "the
lake" at the residence Of Mr.. H. M.
Krebs, and Mr.. Salter has commenced
a very large one of 100000 feet ca
pacity for Mr.. Frank Williams, near
the formers residence. Certainly it
is worthy thing for us to build our
own means Of transportation and serve
to an extent to keep our money at
home. which is ever desirable and
practice which should uniformly be
followed"
The Star of February goth records
a beautiful wedding thus: "On Satur-
day evening, 9Th instant, we were
complimented with an invitation to
meet few neighbors at the residence
Of Cadmus H. Alley. Esq, to witness
the marriage ceremony of the niece
Of Mrs. Alley. Miss Mary Bilbo, with
Mr.. Leonard Sarrizin Of New Orleans.
Rev. Father Wise performed the cere-
money with the impressive rites of the
church and took occasion to
notify the young couple that the tie
was regarded by the church as indiss-
uble, for better or for worse. Would
hat It was more generally, so con-
;idered. The thoughtlessness with
which the contract is entered into, and
he ease with which the tie is severed
~ the law. is disgrace to the age
n which we live.
But, as in this instance
Happy they! the happiest Of their
kind!
When gentle stars unite. and in one
fate
Their hearts, their fortunes, and their /,
beings" blend.
AFTER the ceremony the little COM
amy gathered around generous table ,
where the health and prosperity of the
