IF I ONLY HAD CAPITAL.
Young man, you already have
capital. You have hands, feet,
bone, brain, muscle, health and
are not these capital? What more
capital has God given to anybody.
“Well, if I only had a few
thousand dollars in cash capital.”
But these are better than cash
capital, for no one can take them
from you, and with these you can
earn cash. Our men of wealth and
influence did not start with any
cash capital. They went to work
with their plow, the hoe, the
jack plane or broad axe, and
in time their capital brought them
a rich harvest. Ah ! this is the rub,
you don’t want to work, you want
money on credit, so you can play
the gentleman and speculate and
by playing vagabond. You want
to marry a rich girl who will
support you. You want to wear
fine clothes and smoke cigars and
be a gentleman of leisure.
Shame on you, young man! Go
to work with the capital you have,
and you will make interest enough
upon it to give you as much money
as you need. If you cannot make
money upon what capital you have,
you could not if you had a larger
amount in cash. If you waste
your present capital you would
waste money if you had it. Then
don’t stand around a helpless
fellow, waiting for something to
turn up, but go to work. Take
the first work you can get to do,
and do it well. Always do your
best, and if you manage your
present capital well you will sood
have plenty more to manage.

a most formidable rival, and he is
our Uncle “Jesse” James no less.
Uncle “Jesse” is modest as almost
all truly great persons are, and
though he prefers to be “a pro
phet in his own country,” never
the-less his fame has spread
abroad, and on most any of these
pleasant evenings there may be
found a large and appreciative
audiance in Smith & Morehead’s
drug store, where under the
spreading artificial palms this
master bowman pours forth his
soul in melody. Although Uncle
“Jesse” shines forth like a star of
the first magnitude, or a blazing
comet with four seperate and dis
tinct tails, there are others who
round out the James Philohar
monic Orchestra to perfection,
and these are: Hon. C. M. James,
2nd. violin, Prof. George Hatch,
1st. mandolin, and Prof. John
Dickenson, 1st guitar. Words
cannot do them justice; sufficient
to say that some day, these gentle
men and their music will astonish
a wondering world.

Yes, when we consider that so
vast a number of our young peo
ple, especially the boys, make such
lamentable mistakes, we are led to
reflect. The boys, our boys, how
soon they become restive under
the restraints of home, and deter
ime to become independent, and
go out to mingle with the promis
cuous crowd, become familiar with
its ways, listen to its oaths, its
songs, its obscene jests, learn to
smoke, to chew, to drink, to gam
ble; associate with evil compan
ions and at last crazed by the dev
il rum, commit some overt act
that brings them down to shame,
and disgrace falls on those who
love them best. All who fill our
jails and stand beneath the shadow
of the gallows, have once stood
where you are standing now. Have
you not seen that mother kneel
and heard her pray that you may
walk aright, and heard that fa
ther’s warning voice bidding you
beware! Every true friend you
have on earth unite to bid you
choose aright. We hold the mir
ror up that reflects the downward
course, the fearful end, and with
no motive save for your good, and
no desire but for your future hap
piness.

“Here” at least twice a month or
no trip to Jamestown.
Jamestown in August for 10
days, don’t that look good to you!
You should attend drill at least
twice a month. If you don’t you
cant go.
It is now time for the members
of Company G., to begin to work
towards building their own armory
it is understood that whenever the
money is made up for the building
that a very desirable lot will be
donated.
McCrory has the very best of
musical talent and why should we
not have a brass band second to
none in the state. The leading
men of the town should feel in
terested in such a movement and
contribute liberally. Call a meet
ing, boys, and organize. We are
sure your success will be an easy
one.
DON'T WHINE.
Don’t be whining about having
a fair chance. Throw a sensible
man out of the window, and he’ll
fall on his feet and ask the near
est way to his work. The more
you have to begin with the less
you will have in the end. Money
you earn yourself is much bright
er than any you get out of dead
men’s bags. A scant breakfast in
the morning of life whets the ap
petite for a feast a sour apple will
have the more relish for a sweet
one. You present want will
make future prosperity all the
sweeter. Eighteen pence has set
up many a pedler in business, and
he has kept his carriage. As for
the place you are cast in, don’t
find fault with that; you need not
be a horse because you were born
in a stable.
If a bull tossed a man of metal
sky high, he would drop down in
to a good place. A hard working
man with his wits about him will
make money while others will do
nothing but lose it. As to the
little troubles, who expects to find
cherries without stones or roses
without thorns? Who would win
must learn to bear. Idleness lies
in a bed sick of the mulligrubs,
while industry finds health and
wealth. The dog in the kennel
barks at fleas, and the hunting
dogs not even know that they are
there. Laziness waits till the
river is dry, and never gets to the
market. “Try” swims it, and
makes all the trades. “Can’t do
it” would not eat the bread cut
for him, but “Try” made meat out
of mushrooms.

CRUDE THOUGHTS FROfl THE EDITORIAL PEN.
A MEAN MAN’S THOUGHTS.
Some times we wonder what a
mean man thinks about when he
goes to bed j when he turns out
the light and lies down; when the
darkness closes in around him
and he is alone and compelled to
be honest with himself. And not
a bright thought nor a generous
impulse, not a manly act, not a
word of blessing, not a grateful
look, comes to bless him again.
Not a penny dropped into the
outstretched palm of poverty, nor
the balm of a loving word dropped
into an aching heart; no sun beam
of encouragement cast upon a
struggling life, the strong right
hand of fellowship reached out to
help some fallen man to his feet,
when none of these things come to
him as the “God bless you” of
the departed day, how he must
hate himself! How he must try
to roll away from himself and
sleep on the other side of the bed!
When the only victory he can
think of is some mean victory, in
which he has wronged a neighbor.
No wonder he sneers when he
tries to smile. How pure, and
fair, and good, all the rest of the
world must look to him, and how
cheerless, and dusty, and dreary,
must his own path appear. Why,
even one lone, isolated act of
meanness is enough to scatter
crumbs in the bed of the average,
ordinary man, and what must be
the feelings of a man, whose life
is given up to mean acts! When
there is so much suffering, and
heartache, and misery in the
world any how, why should you
add one pound of wickedness or
sadness to the general burden 1
Suffer injustice a thousand times
rather than commit it once.
SUGGESTIONS FOR HUSBANDS.
Do not jest with your wife up
on a subject in which there is
danger of wounding her feelings.
Remember that she treasures every
word you utter. Do not speak of
some virtue in another man’s wife
to remind your own of a fault. Do
not reproach your wife with per
sonal faults, for, if she has sensi
bility, you inflict a wound difficult
to heal. Do not treat your wife to
inattention when in company; it
touches her pride, and she will not
respect you more or love you bet
ter for it. Do not upbraid your
wife in the presence of a third
person; the sense of your disre
gard for her feelings will prevent
her from acknowledging her fault.
Do not entertain your wife with
praising the beauty and accom
plishments of other women. If
you would have a pleasant home
and a cheerful wife, pass your
evenings under your own roof. Do
not be stern and silent iu your
own house and remarkable for
socialibility elsewhere.
KINDNESS UNSPOKEN.
Do you know the world is full
of kindness that was never spoken
and that is not much better than
no kindness at all. The fuel in
the stove makes the room warm,
but there are great piles of fallen
trees lying on rocks and tops of
hills where nobody can get them;
these do not make anybody warm.
You might freeze to death for
want of wood in plain sight of
these fallen trees, if you had no
means of getting the wood home
and making a fire of it. Just so
in a family; love is what makes
the parents and children, the
brothers and sisters, happy. But
if they take care never to say a
word about it; if they keep it a
profound secret as if it were a
crime, they will not be much hap
pier than if there were not any
love among them ; the house will
seem cold, even in summer; and
if you live there you will envy the
dog when you call him “poor fel
low.”
