It was a tribute of resect honorable alike to the living ami the dead. It showed that Murphy had sjKiken to the .reason am! not to the pas sions of men. It showed that the saloonkeeers themselves realize that such an advocate strikes at confessed evils, and that all class es and conditions of men are bet tered when men arc taught self control, and the practice of tem lerance. The value of any reform is determine! by tlie iiermanent results. The influence of Murphy was far reaching. It awakened the saloonkeeper ami all interests connected with tlie liquor trade to the eils of the lawless saloons; to th discredit of the dives found everywhere; to the use of the sa loons as a refuge for the criminal interests. In this time much has been done to regulate the business; rome of which regulation was wise and sane, and some unwise, but which taken together has had a good effect, HkukV how Our Home bids its friends to a feast ami at the same time admonishes them as to how to behave: "There will be a picnic at Ash craft mill, in south Marshville township, on Saturday, July 20th.

A mer- chant who puts out 1,000 handbills gets jiossibly 300 or 400 people to read them that is, if the boy who is trusted to distribute them does not chuck them under tlie side walk. The handbills cost as much as a half-column advertisement in the home paper. All the women and girls and!; half the men and boys read the advertisement. Re sult: the merchant who uses the newspaer has 3,500 more readers to each thousand of the pair's readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that adver tising does lring to a merchant, but that each dollar invested in ad vertising brings to the investor somewhere from $20 to $100 worth of business, there can be no doubt." And it is all true, too. Adver tisements, legitimate ones, are no small ipart of a newspaiers make up. .1 he writing ot mem ponrays much literary skill and knowledge of human nature. Then, too, they keep the public informed in many ways, and are usually an, index showing who is doing the business of the community. Tbe Stint of Second-Hand Criticism. Cntcism seems to grow in iower to hurt in direct projiotion to its distance from tlje origiual. source. It is dangerous enough at its best, when si)ken face to face in love and tactfulness; but when it be comes second-hand, and reaches the Gnc criticised ih an indirect way, it has usually lost in its love and gained in its sting during the journey. We cannot control the crticisms of ourselves that reach us in this thoughtless or cowardly fashion: but we can see to it that we never have, any iart in thus hurting others. Two simple rules will insure this: resolutely refuse to pass on a criticism of another that has come to our ears; if we have any criticism of our own to make, make it directly to tlie one needing it, and never mention it to another soul; Sometimes we shall find that if we forbid our selves second-hand criticising, the criticism will not be made at all.

XS e are thus prepared I . w w . from observation to note results. Prohibition in this city does pro hibit. The law is observed as well as the law against carrying con cealed weapons, gambling, theft, and other offences of like charac ter. If there had been as many Iieople in favor of carrying con cealed weapons, theft, gambling, etc., as there were in favor of the retail of ardent spirits, twelve months ago, law against these things would not have been carried out as well as it was against the liquor trade. In consideration of the small majority with which pro number of ieople who 'were' op liosed to seeing it prohibit, the law has lecn marvelously well ob served. Prohibition has not injured the city hnancially. According to the assessor's books proierty in the city has increased over $2,000,000. Taxes have not leen increased. Two streets in the city, Decatur and Peters, were known as liquor streets. It was hardly considered proper for a lady to walk these streets without an escort. Now they are just as orderly as any in tlie city. Property on them has advanced from ten to twenty-five ler cent. The loss qf of $40,000 revenue, consequently on closing the saloons, has tended in no de gree to imiede the city's progress in any direction. Large appro priations have been made to the waterworks, the public schools, the Piedmont fair and other im provements. The business men have raised $400,000 to build the Atlanta and Hawkinsville rail road. The number of city banks is to be increased to five. The coming of four new railroads has been settled during the year. Fif teen new stores containing" house furnishing goods have been started since prohibition. went into effect. These are doing well. More fur niture has been sold to mechanics and lal)orini? men in the last twelve months than in any twelve months during the history of the city. The manufacturing estab- lishmentsVof the city have received new life if A glass factory- has been built. A cotton seed oil mill is being built worth $125,000. All improvement companies with a l)asis in real estate have seen their stock doubled in value since the election on prohibition. Stores in which the liquor trad was conducted are not vacant, but are now occupied by other lines of trade. According to the real es tate men. more laborers and men of limited means are buying lots than ever before. Bents are more promptly paid than - formerly. More houses are rented by the same number of families than heretofore. Before prohibition, sometimes as many as three fami lies would live in one house. The heads of these families now not spending their money for drink, are each able to rent a house, thus three instead of one. Working men who formerly spent a. great part of their money for liquor, now spend it in food and clothes for their families. The retail gro cerymen sell more goods, and col lect their bills better than ever be fore. Thus they are able to settle more promptly with the wholesale men. - f A uerceDtible increase has been noticed in the number of people who ride on the street cars. Ac cording to the coal dealers, many people bought coal and stored It away last winter , who had never been known to do so before.. Oth ers, who had been accustomed to buying two or three tons on time, this .winter bought seven or eight, and paid cash for it. A leading in proprietor of a millinery store said that he had sold more hats bonnets to laboring men for their wives and daughters than before in the history of his business.

Attend ance upon the different churches is far better, irom fifteen hundred to two thousand people have join ed the various churches of the city during the year. The determination on the part of the people to prohibit the liquor traffic has stimulated a disposition to do away with other evils. Tlie laws against gambling a're rigid I v enforced. A considerable stock of gambler's tools gathered togeth er by the police for several years past, was recently used for the purpose of making a large bonfire on one of the unoccupied squares of the city. The city council has refused longer to grant license to bucketshops, thus putting the seal of its ftonflAixMViivrnj."i. All these reforms have had a decided tendency to diminish crime. Two weeks were neces sary formerly to-get through with the criminal docket. Dunrfg the present year -it was closed out in two days. The chaingang is al most left with nothing but the; chains and the balls. The gang part would not be large enough to work the public roads of the county were it not augmented by j fresh supplies from the surround ing counties. The city govern-; ment is in the hands of our best citizens. The majority in this county in favor of prohibition was only 235. Such a change has taken place in public sentiment, however, that how the're is hardly a respectable anti-prohibitionist in the city who favors a return to . barrooms. There are some who would; prefer high license, or its sale by the gal lon, but it is a remarkable tact that there.is no disposition to have the saloon opened again. The barroom has gone from Atlanta forever, and the people with re markable unanimity say, amen! There is very lityle drinking in the city. There has been forty per cent, falling off in the4 number of arrests, notwithstanding there has been a rigid interpretation. xf ihe law under which arrests -are made. Formerly, if a man was sober enough to walk home, he was not molested. Now, if there is the slightest variation from the state in which the center of grav ity falls in a line inside the base, the party is made to answer ior such variation at the station ljouser Our experience has demonstrat ed to us beyond a doubt that a city of 60,000 inhabitants can-get along and advance at a solid and con stant rate,- vyithout the "liquor traffic.

The citizen who will do nothing for the town is digging the grave. The man who curees the town fur Irishes the coffin. The man who is so seltishas to cafe for no business but his own is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise and by refusing to do so injures the Imsi ness of the tbown is driving the hearse. The man. who is always pulling back from any enterprise and pouring cold water ; on them throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy; as to be con tinually howling hard times preaches the funeral sermon and ; sings the doxology and then the town lies buried from all care and. sorrow."

Editor of The AiiMonian : Please allow me space in your excel lent paper to take up the question that i . i is now being agitated among us : the whisk ey evil. Friends, I know there are various opinions in regard to this monster evil, but there are two ways of thinking: one is right, the other is wrong. In Isaiah chap. .V, verse 7 we find these words. ' Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the unrighteous man his thoughts." Man is not iosses8ed of any other pow ers that liave so mm-h to do with the shaping of his life as do his thinking faculties. His thoughts are the con trolling powers of his whole leing. His ways and acts governed by his thoughts. T&his thoughts are wrong, his ways and nana ir his tuougnts areTignt, nis ways are right. Now, what is true of an in dividual, is applicable to the masses of the people. So, it is clear then.thatour happiness depends largely on our thoughts. Evil thoughts originate from an evil spirit, and the whiskey business as it is now being run is the result of wrong, or evil, thoughts. The evil spirit has access to the mind and produces bad thoughts, and these thoughts are cultivated by the mind till they take root in the heart, and God says out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, ad ul tries, fornica tion, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (Matt. lo:19).
