I was ruminating about this because Singer sewing machine agent visited my house to-day and when he found we uiuu i wsdi aooiaer mactune he sat m l ue veranda and we talked about the war and about the beauufnl region and iuo loyeiy weainer and aDout mvenuons and progress and "the restlessness and discontent of the people.- He was a philosopher and had traveled. We agreed that if a man was making a fair living here he ought to be not only con- tented, but thankful and happy. "This 1,8 the most attractive part of Georgia." Said he, 'and I have not found a region to signally blessed and yet your people do not seem to know it or to annreciate their good fortJhe." That is true. ; What a good idea it would be for a man to keen a debtor and credit account with his Maker, and charge himself with every ood thing his health and btrength, his sunshine and 8hower,the pure air and the trees fruits and flowers, the picuresque views of bills and valleys, the fast flowinc Btreams, the songs oi the birds and the music that cheers the. hearth and home. Then there are the daily greetings' and meetings with kind neighbors and friends and the merry voices of the chil dren and the peaceful, inviting sound. of the Sabbath bells and the blessed priv ilege of worshipping fGod according to' our conscience, witli none to molest, or make us afraid. fTfi there is the daily morning prayer thaiA daily answered. 'Give ua this day; our daily bread," and " He gives it for we have neither tramns Liner tramps I nor beggara to afflict- 08 and i nor beggarn to afflict-08 and nobody suffers for bread or necessaries of life ADove au, we navei peace witnia onf borders, and Pope aays that,- "All the joys of reason and of sense lie in three words health, peace and competence. Ooodgraciou8l what a debtor account we could run up against ourselves, anc every item would be God-given. Well, of course, there .would be some some things to put" down on the other side4 such as aicknees, a death in the family, or some afflicted child, or what ia worse, some son or daughter who has disappointed our hopes or brought grief to broken hearts. But most of these things are not chargeable to God,, but rather to our own imprudence or "lack of duty. Fire and storm and pestilence come through Hit laws, imt tbey-rarely come. , i J . There is more, sunshine than cloud in our life if we will only look at it right,' tor weare the most helpless creatures on earth, and a helpless man ought to be thankful for everything he gets. We don't know where we came from nor where we are going nor when , we will have to go. and yet we see folks strut ting around and swelling up with con sequence. The best way is to carry our sunshine along withj us and divide with our neighbors, and If they have got aay to spare let us get a little of theirs and mix it. Heard a fat woman say at a pic nic: "Neederit bother about a cushion for me: I always carry mine along with me." That's a good idea. I can .pick out a dozen men in this town who carry: sunshine, and you are glad to meet them.; There are many more who carry clouds and still many more who don't carry anything. It has been forty years since old Uncle Billy Baugh died, and I still treasure bis memory, for he carried sunshine everywhere he went and never complained. If he couldent sell his waj termelons he gave them away, fie raised the best-in tiie world, at least it seems so to me riow a small, loogl white, thin riad melon with : red meat and white seeds, i He peddled them around town, and like old General Betb uine of Golumbus, talked to the pretty women and looked, at tbera through -his spectacles. If they dideot wish to buyi. he would say:- "Well, l wouiu like to give you one if. you will come after it.!' But it wouldent do to send a servant. He said fie wanted the sweet and pretty ladies to come nigh enough for .his old eyes to see them good, and so they gen erally accepted the compliment and went. My wife,, sne. always went. ) "When is it going to rain, Uncle Bil ly?" 'You'll know by waiting," he would reply, j; I think of that nowadays when anybody asks me what will be tne outcome of this old "war. "You'll know by waiting;" and the days are all com ing this way.; Aunt Ann, our old Guin ea African cook, Came up this morning wild with excitenient. She declared that jwo trains went up the road -"bout daybreak dis mormn' all loaded down wid 400 dead; soldiers carry in em xo Chatanoogy- to iury ,'em.

"Important signs of the uneasiness of Europe, of its fear of anarchy at home and aggression abroad, are reflected in London financial circles.

The company; has already purchased six pieces of property on the river, and will buy more later. Mr, Mears talks most confidently of the suc cess of the undertaking. :He says he knows it will pay, because' he can fur nish the power for mills,' etc., much cheeDer than they, are now getting it. For instance, power that is now cost ing $9 would by electrical transmission, cost about $2o. Mr. Arendell is interested with Mr. Mears in the Yadkin Falls development.

The secret of happiness here is not only in the fact that we work,; but that we love to work and iove our work and enjoy it. The spirit of discontent that i makes so many men dissatisfied with their vocation and situation in life is the bane of humanity. - The doctors would like to be lawyers, the lawyers would like to be merchants, the mer chants would like to be farmers, would like to. be gentlemen, and so ori.ieach thinking that the other has the better job. This ia the source of discontent and the father of the spirit of dissatis faction. So few people cheese really anything, and abide their choice. A man who chooses to be a farmer and putd. his nergyj and intelligence; intocollete worth living for.. He did no.t uio wore oui uuiy miprovea nia larm dui j nils his own pockets. It a man1 will take care of his farm, his farm will take care of his bank account. There ia no life more charming than that of the farmer, and ,if I wasn't a preacher and hadn't rather be a preach than anything else in the world I would frequently envy the farmer hia farm .and his toil.

Every bush el of corn and wheat, every pound of . 1 cotton, every pig and calf and colt,! adds wealth to the country as well aa to the farmer, for the farmers are really the producers of this country and lie at the basis of all prosperity. We need hpuse-builders,- lawyers, .doctors, preadhers, railroad men and all classes, perhaps, but the farmer is the essential man of all. They should be encouraged more than they are. While they work others ought to think in their interests and plan for their good, -for just as the t farmer prospers the country prospers. Thefar mer with his improved implemenU and mproved roadways ought to compete with anv other class in the world, j The Georgia. farmers are rapidly catching on tio the improved machinery and imple ments and to take care of them, j ihe farmer of Georgia is beginning to learn that it doesn't pay. to have his sorn-crib in Kansas arid his smoke-house in Chi cago, and his cotton factory in Mas sachusetts and hia banker on Wall street and his boss the little merchant in town, and Kentucky his stock producing sec tions." Well for him His that he has learned that a corn-crib' full of corn in his own lot, a smoke-house full of bacon in his yard, a few colts and calves in his lot, and his economical wife for bis banker, make 'him independent of the world.. If I had what the farmers ' of Georgia pay for guaho J wouldu t want any crop, or land either; and I dare as"; serl that there is not a farm i 3xyt gia who could not spend thirty days in the year- producing and compounding fertilizers into compost and save every dollar that he expends for guano; and improve his land one hundred per cent, more every year, for guano is like a drink of whiskey to a man it will Brim? ulate him for a while, but leaves ; him with lees energy and vitality tnan he had before. . . ! The farmers have much to learn. They are learning. The farmers of V an Buren Ark., ship from tnree to nve car- oads of strawberries per day during tne strnmlprrv Reason. Thev croduce no better strawberries than we do in JJartow county Georgia. What a vast sum those shinmpntaot strawberries hnng to mat community I Let North Georgia learn of them. No finer vegetables grow than we can raise in our county. Iet the farmer see that everything he produces for sfi liriii?s hini something, adds to his wealth and Drosperity. Lt nim know that everything he buys but adds to his poverty and takes irom nia in come.' If he would prosper he must nroduce' much and spend httleJ and never go into debt for anything. A man on a farm had better be afraid ot rlpht of anv kind, for when a farmer gets i.nto debt two or three hundred dot lars, it is harder for him to pay than at most any other clasi'of laboring; ;men. I drove out into the country a piece to- dav and Dassed a farm home with Itwen ty-odd bales of cotton lying under the shed, . a crib full of corn in the lolt, all kinds of stock and everything prosper ous. So it goes, mere waa iu runningthat farm. If a man . attends to his farm his farm looks after him.

Day after day he was either in the gymnasium or upon the field. At night tie - was - not, infrequently so exhausted that he threw himself upon hia bed to sleep without taking off his clothes. Instead of ex panding physically he grew thin and pale; but he conquered, and was chosen upon the team. ; At last the great game against the Sophomores came off. The Freshmen were bound to win.

He gave a desperate leap into the aw to stop the ball, caught it amid gratifying applause, and then fell Something give Way in his heart, and he was carried from the field. We can not blame the lad now, for he is payirg the heaviest penalty possible for his lack of judgement. He will never leave bU bed alive. a- This is not an isolated case, or even an unusual one.
