Something to
Think Ab0nf
yOYAGERS OF LIFE.
By F. Il. WALKER

T1HE captain VINO can first find his
hearings in the snarling storm
at sea. is he who viii be first 10
reach safe h8rDor
And so il is with sailors on the
turbulent sea of life, when tenn
pestuous winds blow and adversely
comes.
In this sense, we are all captains.
each at the wheel of craft of our
oNh. responsible for its keeping and
its guidance TO still waters.
Some of US face storms with calm
ness and abiding faith.
Others miss their bearings, lose
courage and through fear, fail to gain
control of their ship, which drifts on
the rocks a hopeless wreck. with
themselves and their crews clinging to
broken spars.
These derelictS swarm the city
streets, crowd the park benches and
crawl at night like hunted things to
some wretched attic or dark doorway.
They began their voyage under the
soft blue sky and the bright sunlight.
with their white sails swelling In
friendly breezes, proud and joyous in
the glorious vigor of youth, thought
less of hidden shoals and contrary
winds
They Knocked and jeered those who
stood at the wheel so soberly, scan
ming the shifting clouds. watching the
draw of the sails and the behavior
of the craft that in some unaccount-
able way had become a part of them.
At the end of years, when life
skies begin TO purple, these sober
wheelmen, patient and earnest still.
find their way to friendly ports, wear
ing the smile of triumph.
The other ships, whose captains
lacked earnestness, patience and self
reliance, never came back. Their
storm-wrecked sailors, picked up here
and there. lack incentive to make an
other voyage-erring, shiftless and
untrue, like their captains.
They are untouched with the radi-
ancy of better things.
Opportunity succeeds opportunity.
but they shun it.
Hope, they will tell you, is dead,
but they decline to tell you that they
themselves killed IL.
How are you sailing your shipf
Are you devoting to it your full at
tention. putting into your lifework all
the ability, sincerity and energy that
you can command?
If you are, there will be no park
benches and wretched attics awaiting
you at the end of your voyage, but in
their stead there will be the sweet
consciousness of we'll won reward,
the blessing Of an uncomplaining soul
and these mean true and abiding hap
pifess whatever your surroundings.

Lought for six cents are selling for s. and so on
with more than hundred articles in common use
Not one line OF this wild exploitation OF the
American housewife has appeared to date in any
metropolitan newspaper so far as we know.
Clittering generalities, railing against :" the

metropolitan newspaper reader in type as start

We are informed Rev. G. J. Davis the new pas
tor OF the First Baptist Church had difficulties in
getting away from his Hartwell congregation and
their neghbors. Even Rush Burton, to clinch
their arguments had to dig up one on this editor,
who on former visit to that splendid section of
Georgia, told our Lavonia friend that any man
well located in Hart County. would be very foolish
to sell out and come down to South Georgia" All
o. which is really true, but had reference to our
new pastor, as it is just such as him and their
influence on the community, which has made that
