God pity the man or woman with
an appalling present and dark future.
But remember dear reader, that in
life there is royal path" Truth,
honesty and virtue may Ne tempo
rarily smolhered, but, like the chris.
tian religion III the dark ages, tnev
will ultimately rise and triumph over
all opposition.
Capt. Williams, of the Clipper.
gave free excursion to Leaf Bank
and return last Friday evening. The
Band boys together with quite num-
Der of our citizens partook Of Capt.
Williams kind inequalities and long
for another as pleasant an event as

If fellow clicks" his wife or if a
fellows wife clicks" him, it i not
necessary for newspaper to say any,
thing about it expecting it to he news.
The most modern lightning type ma.
chine could not get up the type nor
the powerful press of the New York
World, could not get out papers as
fast as report like that flies through
the air, and the longer they fly, the
larger they get.
Business men are engrossed with
business thoughts. Their eyes are
upon the worlds great markets. Law
yers are looking to one or another side
of cases. Ministers are preparing
sermons. Laborers are after Job.
Editors are after news aud upon the
whole we find majority of mankind
so engaged that they find little or 40
time to look after very many condi-
lions Of humanity.
Our friend Adam Starcher, of Lee
district, was here last Friday. He
came over after a marriage IL
cense for Colonel Dave Craddock,
son of Uncle" Tom Craddolk. The
license was to marry Miss Letha,
daughter Of the late Jim Price. Mr..
Craddock is going on crutches from
injuries he received several months
ago. Bat Notwithstanding his Grip
pied condition, he has out run his
less fortunate Heighbors and won a
precious prize in the person OF Miss
Price. May all of their troubles be
little ones"
We hardly appreciate each other a :
we should. For instance, take the
band boys in this town and few of us
half way appreciate the time and
money they have expended before
they reach that degree of proficiency
we would all like to see them attain.
As money making enterprise for
them, it will be signal failure, vet
when they are sell up in the profes.
sion and come out on the streets or
public gatherings, the good advertis.
ing will all GO to the credit of the
town and nothing for the individual
members. So it goes with every
public spirited man Some are con.
stantIy doing things that help others
more than themselves, and there
would be more of this kind Of work
if we would only show the proper
amount of Appreciation
