TIE NEW ExPREss. accommoda-
ting and gentlemanly young friend, Virgil
Parker, has bought Stimson's express and
job wagon. and will take pleasure in filling
the orders of our citizens, promptly. care
fully and expeditionsly. We can conscien-
tiously recommend him rs a car leful, relia-
Bile and prompt young man, and commend
him to the patronage of our citizens.
L.ANfrs. Speaking of lamps. the great
est expense usually attendant upon the
r'se of lamps is the cHimneys. They will
break in spite of all the care taken of them.
and of course create trouble and constant
bill of expense. To avoid all this exasper-
alton and expense the reader is advised to
go to A. Carothers t& Co.'S, and purchase
one of their new style burners which re-
quires no chimney. We have one of them
in use now. and it gives an excellent light.
is much less trouble to keep clean. and the
saving in chimneys will pay for the burner
in no time. Try one of those lamps.
TRYNG.-t'Uneasy rests the heal that
wears crown, !" seems to be just as true
in the case of the average office-holder.-
The Road Supervisor. for instance, occu-
pies an enviable position and excites the
Jealousy of his neighbors. 1t seems to be
generally understood that the Road Super-
visor is an overbearing. self-sufficient. ego
tistical tyrant, set up for his fellow men to
heave things ut. No matter how good his
Intentions, nor how high he stood in the
social scale. or how generally conceded
that he was man ofsonnd judgment bef7re
he was invested with tile awful itsigiia of
Office, otter he assumed its duties. all his
good traits are forgotten. and he becomes
Mt once. one of the 'way-downest" men in
creation. Tllis is more especially true
with the average Roa,l Supervisor Ills
suggestions are looked upon as giving evil
deiice of a vast amount of cheek, and are
to be met by the firmest resistance from
every man in tile district. 1t certainly is
an enviabie position. that of Road Super
visor. and everybody wants some.
