The Man Who Doesn't Advertise.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead
That to himself be hath not said,
My trade OF late is getting bad,
Ill try another ten-inch adj"
If such there be, go mark him we'll,
For him no bank account shall swell
No angel watch the golden stair
To welcome home a millionaire.
TO such man the noisy din
OF traffic NAV not enter in,
For bargain hunters by the score
Shall pass nor heed his dingy door;
For tho his sign iso the wall
And on some barnyard gate a scrawl,
No people who have cash and sense,
90 pacing around to read the fence.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain;
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreamless
sleep,
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well,
And that the world may know. its loss
Place on his grave wreath of moss;
And on stone above, Her lies
A chump who wouldn't ADVERSE"

ALONG THE RIVER.
Work on the Locks Will be Re-
sumed.

Grading is Now Going on on Number
Eleven Number Ten is Still Shut
DOWN. Everything viii be Rushed
This Summer Preliminary Werk
Has Gone Before Of The
County Road Above Randall Due to
Quarries- Other Notes.
Work has been resumed on the
grading of number eleven lock. This
was started last fall aud the weather
stopped it then. 1t will go right on
now with only the stops due to the
same influence and it will soon be
ready for the stone work to begin.
Number ten will soon be looked
after and the only thing that has pre-
vented a resumption OF the work has
been the weather. This factor will
not much longer prevent men from
starting again and they will be glad
Of the chance.
Several OF the locks are expected to
be completed this summer or at least
gotten well under way. The work
last year was largely preliminary in
its character and nothing very much
was expected to be accomplished.
The contractor this year will try to
get ii large part OF the work done.
He is anxious to have it go on and he
will not be remiss in pushing it.
The road above Randall which has
been. getting worse all winter is now
in a terrible state. No wagons or
buggies can get past and 1t is barely SO
that u horse to pass. There are
slides on the lower side OF the road
and the hill side on the upper side Is
trying TO take up all the road way.
Between the two there Is very little

the other saying his farewell.
1t was universally regretted by those
present that it was not known that
Senator Wiley would speak, as short
hand reporters would have been there
to take the address, which was pro-

Gov. Pierpoint that has been spoken.
