In every community you will find
the chronic kicker, and Middeburg is
no exception. Always finding fault
with every improvement that is made
he walks around and curses his own
shadow for being crooked. So

Who always is crying,
And never is trying
Some good for his town to do.

labor, or possibly relic of the darl
ages, was witnessed on Monday on ,
farm very close to Millersburg. 1t wa

ting on horse rake, raking hay in th'
broiling sun, driving with her righ
} hand and operating the rake with he
feet, and worst Of all carrying in he
left arm helpless little babe. This i
not an overdrawn picture, but look

Did you ever see real happy loafer'
If you did he constitutes the exception
to the rule. A loafer is an eXcresenc
upon the surface of society. Although
he may try to delude his selfish sou
into the belief that "the world owe
him a living" and that 1t must furnisl

consciousness he knows that he is
parasite of the meanest sort, unable t
command even his own self-respect
Labor is the law of the real, successfr
e and happy life, and he who violate
n that law will certainly pay the pena
ty.
