cents copy we come mighty near
giving it to all folks.

The HERALD isn't after the sensa.

things besides liberty"

Don't let's let up on that dirt road
between Farmville and Hampden- i
Sidney. We begged for the rockway

he rock road was being built. +
The next time the HERALD goes out f
% the public in illustrated form, we :
want to make country scenes promi- (,
rent. We would be pleased to discuss o
he subject with farmers who may feel Il
interest in it. We only need to let the
world know what we have and then :,
he world will want to come and live C,
With US.
The HERALD could do no better ser d

hone system, about which so much '
as already been seen in its columns. Ia
he town must be i'm touch with the m
Duntry in order to measure up fully al
} the demands Of the hour. 1t is so &C
