ia one Of those young men who possesses
the happy and fortunate faculty OF being
able to say something when he talks, and
on this occasion his effort was such as
strongly to confirm this assertion. HIS
subject was the old theme of "Whats IN

lem was original and vigorous, and the
moral power and force offs good name as
shown forth by his argument is obviously
great and far-reaching.

mary department has not only materially
enlarged the mental capacities but has

suits most gratifying, bringing within

The road machine has been in this Sec
ton the past week, and, under the man
age,nent of our efficient township super
VISOR, Mr.. j. M. Hanks, has all the roads
in excellent condition. We think the
road scrape is the very thing to have good

a good township supervisor, such as this
community has. Mr.. Hanks certainly
understands how to have { these

township in giving her good roads for

say that if Mr.. Hanks was known all

be our next County Supervisor. AS men
are being suggested for Supervisor, we
suggest Mr.. j. M. Hanks to the voters of
Anderson County as suitable man for
this Office.
