Bat much that passes for edncation in these modern days is a rank counterfeit. True education is an nnfolding and devni opment oi all tbe faculties of man. It traina'tbe pbysioal.tbe intellectual and tbe Spiritual nature, and whenever you find a man in whom one of those three-fold pow ors is undeveloped you find one who has not been properly educated. The brute, tho intellectual giant, the enthusiast, not ono of thin is tho perfect man. —As to this matter of the world owing amy man a living, that is a mistake. The world doex not any man anything un til be earns it. Tbe earth is lull of good thing* for all, but we must hustle around and get tbem or do without. Had the first man sat down tinder a shado tree with foalded arm* and said, "The world owes me a living, and I'm not goinir to exert myself to net what lieloiuoi to me," the obanohos are that so f*r a* man kind is concerned, voeld have topped right there.

Both are indications of decay Don't let the contents of any canned goods remain in the can after opening and exposure to the air. It is then your own faalt if yon are poisoned not the grocers. D in't be afraid to jse canned goods—they are usually the best in the world —bat yon mast not Tiolate the law* ot nature. —A note on Sunday is void A note ob tained by fraud, or even from one intoxi cated, cannot be collected, If a note be stolen it does not release the maker—He must pay it. An endorser of a note is ex empt from liability, if not served with no tice of its dishonor within twenty-lour bonrs of its n-n payment. A note by a minor is void. Notes bear iniere-t only when so stated. Principals are responsi ble for tbeir agents. Each individual in partnership* is responsible for the debts of tbe firm. Ignorance of the law excuses no one. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. The aw compels no one to do impossibilities. —An exchange telis the following story on Butler Oauty. Some years ago a Bap tist church in Butler conty tried a man for kissing his wite. The formulated charge was entered I'Cnbeco nine levity." The gentleman accused had been away from home several weeks on business, and on bis return he met his wife at the meeting house, and in the presence ot the congrega tion em brawl her with a sounding amack on tbe l'ps. Some of the staid old deacons were so «hi>cked at i-ucb levity in tbe bouse of God that the geutleman teas arra:<o«u on the above charge, aad escaped dismiss al from tbe church by agreeing to do his kissing at homo in the future. —A supply of new postage stamps, call ed tbe Columbus scries, arrived at our post-office a few days ago, and found a ready sale. Tbe stamps are of tbe same "beighth as tbe old ones, but are nearly twice as wide. Tbe one cent stamps are printed with blue ink, and the engraving represents "Columbus in sight of of land'' standing on tbe deck of his vessel. The two-cent staiap is printed with purplu ink and the engraving represents tbe "Landing of Columbns." The series run from one cent to five dollar i-tamps, is a very bann someone, and will probably be a von profitable one for the Goverument, as millions of tt.tin will be saved as souve nirs. —The Msdicsl Society of Butler County, whieh includes nearly all of the physicians of the county, held a meeting in tbeir rooms in Batler, Tuesday, and elected of ficers for 1893 as follows: President—Dr. J. D. Hookenberry. Vice President— Dr. SI. E. Headland. Secretary—Dr. S. D. Bell. Treasurer—Dr. N. M. floorer. Censor*—Dr». S. Gratia.n, R. H. Pillow and M. E. Headland.
