PER YEAR IX
AU VANCE
TOWN VS COUNTY.
One serious obstacle tq, the cortlial
relations that should exist between all
classes of American life is the unreas
oning antagonism that so often exists
between the town and the country
Why this should exist is hard to sec
in view of the fact that each is largely
dependent upon the other in many re
lations of life. Unfortunately, how
j ever, it is a fact with which we have
to deal when considering any matter
of importance to people of any given
section. This prejudice shows itself
in political life, in social life and "even
in business. It frequently manifests
itself in a conviction ot the country
man that the town man is always
watching for an opportunity to "do"
him. He is convinced that all existent
evil has its origin in the towns. The
town man. lo his mind, exists for no
other purpose than to prey on? the
aimers. On the other hand it fre-
K-ntly occurs that the people of theii'i' what is the correct name as long
qu
town become imoued with the belief
that the country people "have it in
for them." Thus are the relations be
tween the two in a straine-d condition,
and in many cases even the most ordi
nary business relations are hindered
and blocked by this unreasoning and
unreasonable jealousy. Perhaps you
say the picture is overdrawn. It is
not. The writer has seen and is fa
miliar with just such communities.
And, unfortunately, in many instances
the prejudice is well founded. It i a
fact that the clannish spirit is the
last to die of all the savage instincts
of man. "My clan and my class mean
everything to me, and your clan and
your class are my natural enemies."
That is the sub-conscious reasoning of
many men even yet and of men in
whom we would least expect it. Is
there, you ask, a remedy? Yes, there
is one, but it is an individual remedy.
That is charity that charity which
Covereth a multitude of sins" that
charity which "Thinketh no evil."
Like many other causes of friction
between people, this condition grows
from slight causes, and a little tolera
tion and charity at the right time ami
place will go a long way toward
remedying matters. Also stress the
fact that the two elements are mu
tually dependent upon each other
their interests one. Let each say to
himself, as said another of old, "We be
brethren." Ever try a genuine dose
of charity toward your neighbor?
Try it. You will be surprised how
rapidly he will grow in your estima
tion. :o:

And again we remind you that this

you.
Mr. Farmer, is that binder or mow

well .housed from the weather it
should last from ten to twenty years?

It pains us to learn of the death
of Mrs. Tanner, wife of Senator John
M. Tanner, who died Sunday evening
from the effects of serious burns she
received Thursday, when her clothing
caught fire from a gas range, while in
the hilt-hen telephoning, an account of
which appeared in this paper at the
time. It is indeed a- r.ad affair, and
the entire newspaper fraternity oT the
state deeply sympathize, with Senator
Tanner in the loss of a noble and
loving wife. The writer met Mrs.
Tanner 'luring the session of the leg
islature in the winter of 1808-0, and
we though c she was one of the most
Ufcnial ladies wc ever' met, and her
death is a great loss to the husband
and the children. The reward for
such women is a home in heaven.

General Stuart, the brilliant a airy
leader of the Confederacy, sang l'r is
hymn as his life ebbed ihrc ugh the
wounds he- got in the br.lflc before
Richmond. Piinco Albert, concert of
Queen icioria, repeated this hymn
upon his deathbed. "If in this hour

as the waves swal -
lowed them. A body of Christian Ar -
mrnians butchered in Turkey sang
"lioek of Ages'' even as the swonl
fell. This was a favorite hymn with
dying soldiers in the civil war.
In his new book, "Modern Messages
fiom Greek Hymns," Robert Elmer
Smith tells that when the steamer
Soawauhaka sank and many passen
gers were el-iaging to life preservers
and pieces of the wreck, a young wife
. aid lo her lnisband, "I can hold on
no longer."
"fry a little longer," lie urged, "and
let us sing "Reck of Ages'." As they
sang others joined, and the swect.

perilous water.-., in::puvd exhausted
bodies with new tti englh to hold on
until a lifeboat came and rescued
nea' ly all.
lie tells in the same book of a pros
perous business man of New Yoik
who failed and drank himself into the
guttr and, becoming utterly discour
aged, walked toward the docks one
night to throw himself into Ike har
bor. As he went down Shinbone alley
he passed a mission. They were sing
ing "Rock of Ages." It had hvun his
mother's favorite hymn. He went in,
was converted and "beat back" again
to his old place in the business world.
A religious magazine invited its
readers to send in lists of their fav
oiite hymns and 3,500 responded.
"Rock of Ages" was named first by
all but 283 of them.
This hymn was a favorite of Mr.
Gladstone and he tran dated it into
Italian. It inspired Signor IJonghi to
write the life of Christ in his own
tongue, hundreds of thousands of cop
ies of which have. been printed. It
has been translated into many dif
ferent languages and is sung around
the world, and will be sim?, probably,
for hundreds of years by generation:?
yet unborn.
Such have b'-en the mighty results
of 'hi : rovei of a poor, unlearned
man, preached by flickering candle
light in a thatched barn. Who could
have foretold that , the seed sown, in
such unpromising soil would have pro
duced so much?

The average person says a good

soon as he geas over it. Do not. let your
angry passions rise, and you'll be all
