Mants fOunu SOulcthinx tnat was uh-
ferent from anything he had ever
noticed before. IT, brought a spec
linen ot the sub>,a-ce "a town and II
was examinr,i by * Stale Geologlst
Leo Gallaher, who pronounced II
genuine mica. The earth is sand to be
foil OF the stuff on the Manis farm.
O. p. Sturm. of the Saline County
Index, thus speaks encouragingly of
Marshall: misunderstanding the feel
ing that the short corr crop will de-
press business no little for a year,
Marshall goes OF improving 10 every
way. There are many handsome new
homes iu The course of construction,
several blocks OF new macadam are
being put down aud one would not
think that our city even contemplated
any change in financial affairs by the
way she Is forging to the front. Mar
shall has steadily improved for the
past two years and today she IS not
even slowing up in her splendid
progress
ChIllicothe Constitution: Several
Missouri counties are discussing the
proposition to issue bonds and macad-
amize the public roads as a means Of
giving the farmers legitimate and
paying employment to help bridge
over the effects of the drouth aud at
the same time get 100 cents in profits
to the farmers for every dollar IN
vested. Il Is one Of the most plaus-
lille propositions that could be thought
of under present conditions. 1t would
put money in circulation when it is
mostly needed and the debt could be
paid back in a few years time from
actual profit to the county In the
investment.
Carrolton Democrat; George POLL
man, Of Macon county, is a big hearted
Missourian who displays his philau-
thropy 10 a modest but practical way.
He has a number of tenants on his land
and settlement day came recently.
! Just before its arrival he wrote to each
; Of them inclosing cancelled notes and a
receipt in full. He told them that he
wished them to understand that they
didn't " him anything; that all be
should ask the present year was that
they take good care of their families.
1t may be safely prophesied that
: changes will not be numerous among
S "Uncle Georges tenants in the imme-
e date future.
Fulton Gazette: About the least
' profitable thing for Missouri demo
Gratis to engage in is personal abuse o.
one another. Giving voice to imag'
o mary grievances makes the tender spoI
sore, and adds to the spleen and il
temper of the one who fancies himsel
injured. OF course there are sore heads
who can never be satisfied and whit
q have very little regard for party wei
a fare beyond being prominent them
J, selves who are going to make a nols
when they fall FROM leadership, bu
lie they are of no consequence and are no
needed, and If people would pay n
ut attention to them they would th
is quicker become silent.
D. Sedalia Democrat: In the oil
a. days, before Christianity and civilizs
D. ton tanned mankind, 1t was the Gu:
10 tom, when a man did somethin
60 you did not like, to ''go after" biz
ne with a club. Experience has proven
however, that it is better to ego after
I'd him with an argument. Most me
at desire to do right, but sometimes the
nd make mistakes in choosing the roa
w and they need only TO be shown Il
fit right way. A little %forbearance, a lit
ed reason, a mental application OF Il
a golden rule and a strict adherence
les the humanitarian doctrine of ''liye an
mt let live," will sometimes prevent
lot great deal of trouble, loss an
vs. suffering.
g. Here is the way Editor Morris,
,er Trenton Tribune, puts 1t: Every Of
is knows the seat hog. He occupies
be least four seats on the crowded trai
lat He reads at the daily paper like
le- was working on a salary, with his or
