1t Costs Som ething.

"People don't think, when they are
riding in our comfortable cars" says
an official, "that it costs the company
good money every time the train is
stopped and started; this cost is q part
of the regular expense of operation,
though nobody seems to be able to
tell exactly what it amounts to.
'An amusing variety of guesses have
been made of the exact cost of stop,
ping trains. A sensation was created
a few years ago by the statement by an
expert that a stop without letting off a
passenger Or taking on one involved
an expense OF from 81 % to 81. 20.
This proved to be a ridiculously ex:
travagant estimate. One manager be,
lieves that it costs 10 cents to stop
train. Another makes the expense As
cents for passenger trains and 70 OIL
80 cents for freight trains.

wear and tear and extra fuel consump.

danger of breakage to couplers, draw
bars and their fastenings which re
suits from stopping long and heavy

Cross ROADS, MISS, August Is, 1899,
Editor Democrats Star,
Patrons OF the Grass Roads public
school, remember the first Saturday
in September is the day appointed u
elect trustees for the year: therefore
it lsa Christian duty we W our
selves and our children to, without fail,
lay all other duties aside and assem-
Die ourselves together ana elect good
trustees, for that is the only way WI
can be assured OF having good schools,
and then listen for the voice Of our
just aud honorable Superintendent
commencing our action.
Education is development; it trains
the child's mind To think indcpen-
IDENTIFY and TO observe right from
wrong. 1t is therefore. Il duty Ia
try to elevate our children as they
grow Up tn womanhOod and manhood,
and he who neglects this duty Is not
walking in the lighto God.
Too many have imhibed the idea
that it is impossible for their children
to obtain IN education unless they are
able to send them 10 college. This is
a grand mistake. Let boys and girls
first learn what is necessary for rom.
mon duties of life. for We all know
that IL few well defined facts are
worth a whole library Of uncertain
knowledge.
Come out and let us lay the founda.
tion for a good public school.
