One of '.lie A | representatives to whom our application was K : addressed may be assumed to nave given an ^! honest reason for Ills declination, when he A stated, as he did, as follows: x "I have frequently told you, both over my ^ signature and in personal conference, that I jk j did not think it policy for this line to disturb ^ithe relations which now exist between Its V line and the Southern Railway, by hauling a /A ! car for your line, etc., etc." xj In another communication, we pleaded V\ with this same otliclal a second time, endeavj0 , oring to show the injustice of the position oc-1 ^ | cupled by his conipauy, and in reply he states W that he "Is not In a position to recommend! tlie operation ol any through cars that will | \ disturb the relationship now existing between W ] lils line and the Southern Railway."

The Seaboard Air Line, therefore, and In ^ m! view of such continued discrimination r ^against Us interesis, and the Interests of its ^ patrons, has determined, for the purpose of f equalizing, to an extent, the disadvantages ,0 under which it operates Its last mall and express trains, to adopt similar action to that taj ken by trunk lines between New York and Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and other u I cities: which action is recognized by the 5! trunk line association as bains; proper and v 1 right, where disadvantages exist; and will, ^ therefore, establish on October 25th the rates c i named In its dltlcrentlal rate tarllls, which ^ rates we most respectfully ask you to adopt i and Include in your tariffs (published or oth- ? ^lerwise), making same effective on date B named above. v \ - ?? : ft Mrs. TaifKiirlN Locals. dk' Mrs. Taggart has moved for tlio present a J jabove Iiarksdale's store, and lias the nicest P ^1 line of Millinery she lias ever carried.

In an article on the "Wonders of tL World Waste," William George Jo dan, in the October Ladies' homeJou rial, details how science at the preset day utilizes the ox. "Not many yeai ago," he says, "when an ox was slai ghtered, forty per cent, of the auimi was wasted ; at the present time 'not! ing is lost but its dying breath.' A but one-third of the weight of the an mal!consists of products that can t eaten, the question of utilizing tb waste is a serious one.

L.s There is no one so inocent as not to be evil spoken of; there is no one ,e so wicked as to merit all condemua\e tion. ^ Three things come not back, says an ? Arab proverb; the spoken word, the " discharged arrow, and the lost oppor3_ tnnity. It is more from carelessness about the e truth than from intentional lying, that . there is much falsehood in the world, r The best quality of miud that any s one can come in possession of is the s strength to bear up against dissappointt ment and misfortunes. } ' * Endeavor thyself patiently to bear e the faults and infirmities of other men, s whatsoever thf>V hp fnruamnrtVi oo.?hnn ; art faulty thyself and must be borne e withal. ? To become like Christ is the only thing in the world worth caring for, ' the thing before which every ambition " of man is folly and all lower achievement vain. 3 If you would relish your food, labor for it; if you would enjoy your rai3 nment, pay for it before your wear it; . if you would sleep soundly, take a t cleascotiscience to bed with you. e The first time I read an excellent i book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend : when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
