The Care of a Grindstone.
Exchange.
"Most persons, said the hard
ware drummer, -"have the idea
that if there is one thing in life a
man doesn't have to buy twice it
is a grindstone. The fact is they
are among the best sellers we
have.
"The life of a grindstone is not
very lone. Prom two to three
years on a farm and from a year
to a year and a hall is - a DiacK-
nmit.h ahon nnt most of them to
the bad. It sometimes happens
if a man draws a poor stone that
it will be out of service inside of
six mounttis.
"There area good many things
nhout a crrindstone that most
Dersons don't know. For in
stance, a mistake most farmers
make is in leaving the stone un
covered. When I was a boy the
usual place for the grindstone
was out by the orchard, where it
would be hand v for the men in
the fields. The wise man now a
days houses his grindstone.
"kefc a good drenching rain
mme alone, and the stone will
absorb a lot of moisture. Often
it never Decomes wholly dry
wain.
"Some people have the idea
that letting the sun shine on a
moisture laden stone will bring
it out all rieht. Usually the sun
has a damaging effect. The de
fect will not be noticeable lor a
time, but the stone becomes soft
and crumbles
"Most of the grindstones used
in this country come from Ohio
and Indiana. Cleveland is the

Charity and Children.
Not at all, and the man who be
lieves it is to be pitied. Of course
we have plenty of men in high
places who prostitute their op
portunities to the basest ends.
Offices of honor and trust are
honey-combed with corruption,
graft is rampant everywhere,and
the golden gates of the great and
powerful swing open to all who
have amassed wealth, no- matter
how they got it. All these things
do give the pessimist ground for
his wail of woe, but, notwith
standing all this, it is yet glori
ously true that there are men who
live above the fog and whom
money cannot buy. They may
be found right here in Thomas-
ville, and in almost every commu
nity. Their names are not often
paraded in the newspapers how
ever.
"Along the cool,'sequesterd vale of life
They keep the nolielest lenorof their way
but they are right here yet
plenty of them. We believe there
is as much old-fashioned integ
rity in the world at this moment
as ever, if not more.
These incorruptible men are
not always, nor usually, men of
great financial ipflyence we are
persuaded they are Qftener found
in the ranks of the poor but
wherever they are found, you
may be sure they are in the

odious comparisons between the

opportunity to cultivate and dev

months to improve the mind and
be trained for life's work; to say
nothing of the magazines, good
literature and lectures to which
they have access.
It is not reasonable to suppose
thatchildren who have practically
