endurable style. Glad of it.
A car load of good farm horses for sale

Long visits, long stories, long essays,
long exhortations and long prayers, sell
dom profit those who have to do with
them. Life is short. Time is short
Moments are precious. Learn to con-
dense, abridge and intensity.
Young men-no, overgrown boys is
better-who go to church, should at least
seem to pay attention to what the minis
ter is saying. But to whisper and laugh
is not only rude, but shows a decided
lack of good raising.
In Kenton the Court House bell is
rung at 80 p. M, which is notice for
the dry goods houses to close up and the
bosses and clerks go out and play 'tsev-
en- up" the balance of the evening. Ken
ton is a boss town.
Half the fools in the world think they
can prescribe for the sick better than the
doctors two-thirds think they can preach
better than the ministers, and all of them
know they can edit the paper better than
the editors.

Germans over the State are holding

Major Tough, Secretary of the Sol
diers' Home, near Dayton, resigned last

and look at his animals, as he is offering
them on good terms.
People who are inclined to abuse the
town in which they live, should remem-
Der, when speaking about it to others,
that they are apt to be considered as a
part of that town. That the people make
their own moral atmosphere, is a wise
old saw.
When a woman slips on the sidewalk
and falls, she goes down all in a heap.
But when a man tumbles, he claws the
air, plunges forward, and the only safe
place for a bystander is around the o
ner or on the next block. Why is this
thusly?
Because a boy runs two squares to catch
on a sleigh to ride only half a square, it
is 40 sighn that he will, as soon as he
gets home, "tote" in the nights wood
without being told to do so. A boy after
a free ride, and one around a wood pile,

The 95th anniversary of Mr.. Job jeff
erson was celebrated at his residence in

Good manner win the esteem Of every
lady and gentleman, and a young lady
or man with pretty manners is the pet o.
their acquaintance. How often do you

has such pretty ways" Girls and boys
if you want to be beautiful and loved
cultivate good manners.
