A newspaper whose columns overflow
with advertisements of business men has
more influence in attracting attention to
build up a town than any other agency
that can be employed. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor go
where there is an enterprising commun-
ity. No power on earth is SO strong to
build up a town we'll as a. paper we'll
patronized, and its power should be ap-
preciated. The man who overlooks his
town paper injuries himself by iDjuriDg
his town and townsmen.-

floods in that part of the state most fire.
Quently visited by them. The great
damage which has followed in the wake
of the heavy rains has been done along
the smaller streams. On account of their
narrow channels they have not carried
off the waste of water and crops have suf-
fered in consequence. Back from these
streams there has been no damage worth
mentioning. foreground was dryer this
spring than it has been before in years.
An unsual amount of water was needed
to fill it. 1t is now thoroughly saturated.
We have had plenty and if every body
is satisfied that this is so, it can stop
raining right now for at least week OF
so.

The hour and . half We sat before
him seemed but a quarter of the tiine
and we were orly sorry when the end
came. His funny expressions Of the

with laughter and his pathetic scenes,
tears to trinkle down thtir cheeks
alike.
His speech made the Southern man
and woman proud Of their ancestry and
wish they themselves were living back

Bob Taylor has no equal today on

hope that he may live hundred years
to come that he can sing Dixie and
