Very Appropriate.

There lives in Tennessee, al
Murfreesboro, where he edits
the Weekly Ne,cs, q man who has
in him the making Of a true re.
former. The existing order Of
things doesn't suit him at all.
The contractions, Inconsistencies
and costly follies in social and
economic conditions excite his
wrath every time he thinks OF
them. and outot the fullness OF
his displeasure he utters this
shrill, sharp note OF indignant
protest
I'VE let our timber rot and buy
fencing. We throw away our
ashes and grease. and buy soap;
we raise dogs and buy hogs we
raise weeds and buy vegetables I;
we catch fve.cent fish with 81
rods; we build school houses and
send our children of to be edu.
Gated. and, lastly. we send our
boys out with a $40 gun and a
$40 dog to hunt 10.cent birds"
This is all very blunt and rough
and homely, but it vibrates with
the tone Of truth and sincerity.
1t is q criticism which applies
with varying degrees of force
and fitness TO nearly all small
communities. Life in such
neighborhoods is narrowed by
inditf erence to the possibilities
of anything broader or higher
things continue to be done in the
old.fashioned ways. new ideas
are regarded with disfavor. and
the sense Of dependence is hand
ed from generation to generation
so regularly that progress is
looked upon as revolution and
ambition as a disturbance of the
peace. The depending upon 9th.
er resources for needs which
should be supplied from their
own, the Improbable manner of
expending time and labor and
the foolish squanderings OF eff.
fort in unproductive undertaking
are faults of communities no less
than of individuals. Nail and
! Express.

Atkinson, when the Democrats
were packing their traps to
get out, the door of the book de.
partment at the capitol was
smashed in and over $1,000

some way our Democratic friends

a great crime is committed when
q Republican official takes what
properly belongs to the library
