Seven Springs News.
r-
Seven Sittings, March 5.—-The i
health of this section is good.
At this writing we have 25
young chicks. We have nice 
cabbage and onions in our gar- :
den. They are growing right
along through cold weather. 
Tom Watson, the populist,says
in his Jeffersonian Magazine that
at railroad eating houses in South
Carolina negroes dine with white
people without being intimidat
ed, disturbed or lynched. This
is news to the public and espec
ially to those persons who pa
tronize the quick lunch estab
lishment. And the statement is
about as near the truth as the
average statement of the popu
list.
Some of the Seven Springs la
dies suggest that the legislature
pass a law to make it a mis
demeanor for a man to do as he
pleases. Quit! Marion Butler
may imagine that the general as
sembly is playing into his hands,
but with all the evidence of rad
icalism the festive Marion has
another think coming. We are
taught, whether it be true or
not, that there is on royal road
to heaven, that the way is nar
row and full of obstacles.
The writer does not propose to
discuss this question. I seldom
discuss politics or religion, yet I
will venture the casul remark
that the aforesaid road is either
narrow and rough or broad and
smooth according to the view
point of those who travel it I
believe it is easy to do right, and
that the doing of it will not only
make others happy, but will add
i happiness and contentment to
ourselves. You have all, no
doubt, observed that some peo
ple work mighty hard to be
mean. The man who gets uo
out of bed of a frosty night and
walks four miles to steal a half
bushel of potatoes, digging them
himself, works harder for his po
tatoes than the man who plants
. and cultivates them.
There is an innate principle in
our hearts that is ever admonish
ing us for the rierht and against
the wrong. It is the finger board
pointing out the good way. Evil
influences may lead us away,
and continue to do SQ until drunk
with wickedness, ;we no longer
see the board nor need its ad
monition. But the way of the
transgressor is hard, and at last
he dies friendsless, and without
reward here or hope in thi»
beyond. But my dear friends, I
jam not writing to turn the dark
side of the pictures of life to your
view. How to be happy, ah! if
we ofily knew. Nine people out
of ten make the mistake of look
ing ahead for happiness. They
seem to think that when they
amass a certain amount of prop
erty when they attain this end
or that, then they are going to
be happy. Heaven help them.
They don't seem to know that
they are putting happiness
further away from them, and
that'when they reach their goal,
there is a chasm between them
and happiness that can never be
. bridged. Happiness cannot be
bought. You can neither coax
or bribe it. You must allow it
to absorb you. After all, it is a
good deal in the way we look at
things in this life. I have seen
a party of young folks dressed
in the height of fashion, caught
in a heavy shower of rain at a
picnic and their laughter and
merriment indicated that they
regarded it as a great joke. Yet.
if some of them had been simi-1
larly caught in the field at work
in their old clothes, they would
have considered it as a great
hardship. So it is a good deal in
the way we look at it; we can be
happy even in misfortune. Don't
look ahead for happiness. It is
right at your door. It will come
in if you will invite it; and every
day must provide for itself. In
the morning make up your mind
to be happy. ~Hold your temper
and smile. If there is no sun
shine, think how nice it will be
when- it does come. The next
morning do the same thing, and'
\
repeat the dose every day. If
you think you can't be happy for
a whole day at a time, try it for
half a day, or until 10 o'clock. It
is all to work for comfort,
ease and independence in old
age; but don't worry about it, or
old age will come before it is
due. You don't need to sacrifice
happiness to that end. Smile
when you get out of bed in the
morning. Smile as you go to
breakfast; smile when you start
to W&rk; smile at your wife, but
be careful how you smile at oth
er men's wives; smile at every
body but the girls on the street.
Smiles are cheaper than frowns,
and they beautify the features.
While frowns will make wrin
kles, bring gray hairs, and im
pair the health. Let us all be
happy, and read the Democrat
for it will do you good.
Success to the Democrat.
Luke Lightning.

Home-made Catarrh Cure. .
Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given to the fol
lowing prescription, it is suppored, be
cause of its promptness in driving from
rhe blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease,no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extraet Dandelion, one ounce Com
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well
and use in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bed time.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to flltnr and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane,
and an open sore of catarrh is the re
sult.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe
cialist of natioeal reputation.
