Lock.>11.

After five years. lacking one
month, of hard work, surrounded
by many difficulties, the ravages OF
floods, and pop rises in the rivers
delaying the work for weeks and
months at time, The Smyth-
Munford Contracting Company
will complete Lock IL at this point
today.
The iron will be placed in posi-
ton in the dam on this side of the
river today, and a number of pho
tographs will be taken of the great
work. Col. Thos. Munford who
has managed the whole construc-
ton of this magnificent piece of
work from the start, has performed
his work well and to the satisfac-
ton of the Government.
To give all chance to view this
work, and more particularly the in
side workings of the dam, he will
keep the Golfer dam open over
Sunday, that all may have chance
to view it and see its manner of
working.

Worthless are for months togetheri
Roads made hard by sciences art
Always firmly do their part.
If water stands on a road it soon
ruins it; ruts collect and retain
water; the narrow tire is sthe
father of ruts.
Hard roads make access to the
farms easy at all seasons; produce
can be shipped in any weather if
the highways are passable.
Lack of social life and restricted
means of communication drive the
young men from the farms into
the cities. Good roads will gradu-
ally change all that.
Farmers have been used to stay
ing cooped up on their farms in
bad weather for SO long time
that it is hard for them to realize
the advantages that would accrue
to them from having hard and
clean highways at all seasons of
the year.

Times are growing harder and
harder, and many of the men who
voted for the ''gold standard idea, -
are now complaining, But as one
Republican said yesterday to
another, 1--WE voted for these gold
times, and 1 guess we will have to
stand it" To which the other re-
piled: "Any man who has COM
mon sense can make money now
and plenty of it" That was his
answer. 1t is what every gold bug
uses for argument.

The local postoffice has received
notice as has all money order Offices
that on and after July 1st an extra
charge of two cents will be made
on all money orders irrespective of
the amount of money that is sent.
This is one of the provisions of the
new war revenue bill and had it not
been passed a great many people
would have used money orders in
stead of checks when sending mon
ey by mail. The tax of two cents
on each will however leave things
as they are now as far a
vantasepae has over the S4ner Is
concerned.

1t is claimed by DR.. Louis Pru-
dent Roy, French physician that
laughter is productive of good Ire
suits. He says that it exercises
the muscles of the chest, and
claims that it will cure bronchial
catarrh. 1t is said that the facial
contortions produced by laughter
act as a powerful stimulant, and
that it is a cure for number of
diseases. The effect of grief upon
the digestive organs is Immediate
ly apparent, and physicians advise
that disagreeable subjects should
be debarred during meals. Per
sons of unsociable dispositions are
more likely to suffer from dyspep-
sia than those of jovial habits, who
are fond of eating in the company
of others.

It seems, says the Wayne News,
like our people will never stop BIZ
ting at patent-right humbugs.-
Thousands of dollars have been
paid by citizens of this county for
state and county rights on patents.
and not one has realized cent of
profit from it. There is not one
patent in ten thousand that will
sell when an agent goes among the
people with it. The rights on at
least twenty different kind of
churn power has been sold in this
county and there is not one of
them in use to-day Every man
who comes along with new fang
led machine can sell the right
without much trouble, but the man
who buys it cannot sell single
machine. If you do not want to
be humbugged and cheated out of
your money. let patent rights alone.
If you never have any money until
you make it out of a patent right.
you will always be poor Every
dollar that you put into patent
right is dollar wasted. Look
about you and learns something
about the sad experience of your
neighbors who have been victimi-
zed.
This piece of advice is applica-
bic to a good many people in
Mason county.
