It is now in order to advocate better
roads. People always urge the impor-

Remember that your preacher can't giv'
a lien for supplies. He will need little
money and that very early in the year
Suppose you pay him in monthly install
ments. Try this plan. Or if you will
pay him half the amount of your assess
ment now and the balance in the Fall, i
will be better both for him and you. By
oil means pay your preacher. If yol
have none of yoar own, pay some othe
mans preacher. Don't deadhead yoursel
along to the better world.
During one of the mornings of the re
cent cold weather we understand that
little boy in Corner Township stuck hi
tongue to the wagon tire, when, Of course
it froze to the iron, and In attempting tt
release it his lips also became frozen tt
the iron. His mother, after trying II
vain to release him, went for kettle o
warm water, and the boy, seeing her com
ing and fearing scalding, tore himsel
loose, leaving the skin from portions o
his tongue and lips upon the tire. H'
was sadder and wiser boy, but doubles
will hereafter prefer to obtain his wisdom
