The Spring Inspection.

We would remind the members
of the Board of Health that now
is a very opportune time to. make
the usual Spring tour of inspec.
ton. The trite old saying that 20
stitch in time saves nine" is ap-
plicable here; q little timely pre-
caution will save much sickness
and suffering in the future. Gen.
tlemen of this board, the statutes
have vested you with the power
to make your own laws and the
town council stands ready and
willing 10 execute them to the let
ter. The sanitary condition Of
our town will be largely what you
make it. Being blessed with nat
ural drainage Edge6eld should
have but very little sicknoss ex-
cept contagious diseases and GER
tain epidemics that are not attri-
butable to local causes. Let's have
9 Spring cleaning of premises gen.
orally. We believe that q mere
suggestion or gentle reminder of
its duty is all this very important
board needs. 1t can be relied on
to do it's full duty.

their glory. A party or club COM

Mr.. B. B. Hughes,on Shaw 9 creek.
At the appointed day, last Friday,
they met at the pond, drained the
water off and the fish were laid
bare in great quantities. The pond
yielded up from it's caves, caverns
and recesses about 800 pounds OF
fish, q few weighing as much as
5 pounds. Buying fish in q pond
is very much like buying a pig IN

An Ideal Farmer,

In letter to us Mr.. w. 7. Wal
ton, of Johnston, states inciden-
tally that his grain crop is ex-
ceedingly good. 1t was put in with
q grain drill and he fears that he
has too much on the land instead
of not enough. He says all that he
nee.is now is immediate rain. Mr..
Walton has studied from scien-
ti6c standpoint his soil and plant
life and the conditions that con-
do to favorable growth, conse-
quently there are but few men i'll
the country who have succeeded as
be has. His success is a result OF
concentrating his entire time, tai.
ent and energy toward his life
work-that of a plenter-which,
after all, is the best Of callings.
His rule of life has been to attend
to his own business, not dabbling
in politics or meddling with the
affairs of others. His life has been
a quiet, ideal one away from the
"madding crowd" and "base igno'
BILE strife" The young m IN of the
land should follow his footprints.
