I l,ixii! i m ixrT,tTTTrnirrxi Character will be eternal, and wo are its master builders. It Is the product of thoughts, experience and actions Under our control are as many work men as we have separate faculties. We have not a thought but what Is Btrik lng a blow, not an impulse but what is doing its work. We perform not an action but what is a builder, and have not the moving of a passion but what is a workman's stroke. The building will oe Bucn as we make it. The oak con tains within itself the results of every drought that has parched its leaves, every shower that has nourished its life, every ray of sunshine that has fed the fountain of its being, and of every storm that has beaten upon it strength ening its roots and toughening its fiber; so the character of coming manhood will bo what the thoughts and deeds of the present make it. Character with us now, and in the future, are to each nt.rtAr no t.Vin flnurop anA ttio fmilt. Tha boy is the father of the man,' and what the boy is will enter into and docido what the man will be. The weakness Into which he comes-by defeat, and the strength he gains by victory will each project themselves forward into the manhood, and the tomorrow of life. It Is not altogether the great, the special, the extraordinary experiences which weave out for us stability and maturity oi cnaracter, Dut largely the proper performance of the ordinary duties of every day life. As the most sublime symphony is made up of separate single notes, as the abundant wealth of the harvest is made up of separate slnglo grains, as the most mighty avalanche is composed of separate tiny snow flakes, so the firm ness, the stability, the maturity of ""character, are not born like Minerva, full-grown, but are the product of con tinual accretions from -daily t'aoughts, words, actions and duties. They may be performed quietly but they are the POWerS that mould rihnrflrr.nr mil cIiq.io destiny. These elements being woven into character, are like the forcos in nature that are most quiet and yet most powerful. We listen to the thunder as it rolls through the heavens, we look upon the lightning as it rends the oak and leaves the battlement in fragments; and then we think of them as engines oi power, Dut we near not the light and see not the force of gravity yet they are a thousand times more potent. Like these are the silent, quiet forces build ing the character of to-day and the destiny of to-morrow. Saved From Terrible Death. The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most .skillful physicians and every remedy used, failod, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrible hour Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought relief and its continued use completely cured her. It's the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed bottles 60c and $1.00. Trial bottles free at H. Alex Stoke's Drug Store, Domestic Troubles.

RAPID GROWTH OF SUMMERVILLE THONE. How this Aggressive System h a Forged to the Front Bright Future Ahead President J. K.Brown, of the S11111 mervillo Telephone Company, bus issued the annual call for a meeting of tho stockholders to be held in Summervillu early in January. This culls to mind the almost phe nomenul growth of this company which from tho humblest beginning bus broadened until to-day it Is rt cognized as one of the business fixtures of this part of the state, and its lines how ram ny tnrougn several counties, and re cently connections have been made ith other lines, so that service reaches even to the state of New York. About twelve years ago Drs. Brown and Haven, of Summervillu, conceived the Idea of putting up a few short wires from their offices to the stores in the neighboring rural districts where their services were in demand. Acorn pany was organized, consisting of number of farmer stockholders, who took one or more shares at $3.00 per share, some of them making their pay ments in poles ana work. It was soon apparent that It would be neeerary to increase the par value of these shares to $10 00, and some of the farmers, be coming afraid of being swallowed up by the big fish, sold out for a song, and the bulk of the stock gradually passed Into the hands of those who had money and faith in the enterprise. At the incep tion of the project it was arranged to give all stockholders free service and the $3.00 man was delighted, but the lines were extended and free service became Impracticable by reason of the vast amount of business trans acted by the one share fellows who in sisted on visiting by 'phone. It was then that the officers decided to raise the shares to $10.00 and to discontinue free service to stockholders. And such a howl as went up from the little ham lets of Sbannondale, Heathvtlle, Ohl, Worthville, Ringgold and others 1 The little fellows were afraid of such "fren zied finance" and sold out for what tbey could get, and then drew long breaths of relief. They had tasted the sweets of speculation and wanted to auit. while the "I Told You So" fellows swelled with pride at their wisdom and foresight. But the company prospered from the start and has been able to declare some handsome dividends, at the same time extending the system and increasing the capital Btock. A number of local men are In the enterprise and they see no reason for the kind of worry that so scared the rural folks in the early days of the company's history.
