And think not of the new mown hay
but of that blue roam COW.
Her back was like cottage roof. her
breath was soft and sweet,
Like ebony each cloyen hoof, she had
no s1rplus meat;
Her eyes glowed with liquid light, her
hair was soft as silk.
But must say I'd sooner fight than
make that brute give milk.
My vertebrae is dented in. one leg is
out of place;
lack few square feet of skin and
scars are on my face.
90 that $ why In this calm repose
think of such things now
And gently feel my broken nose caused
by that blue roam COW.
If you wish to be a great soul
IN Heaven, YOU have got to be "A
great soul here.
The greatest mistake in life is
to be contin' aly fe ,ring you
will make one.
When rate wars exist, con
sumers get an idea of what per
centage is made on some goods.
Not only does beauty fade,
but 1t leaves a record upon the
countenance as to what became
of it.
To have MANY friends ard then
when calumny lowers or threat
ems, to have these friends desert
you-what happier fate.
The next time you 90 TO town
get supply of repairs. not for
getting can of oil. When you
overhaul your farm tools, prep
aratory to beginning your spring
work you will find many things
that need a little repairing and
little foresight will save you
trip or two TO town.
The man who, in his will, pro-
yides penalty in case his wife
marries again, never had any
. confidence in her during life.
He thought he owned her, body
and soul. 1t is pad enough for a
woman to be owned by a live
man, but to be dictated to by a
dead one, ugh.
There seems to be little doubt
that the national good roads bill
will pass both houses of congress.
1t has passed the lower house and
is very favorably considered in
the senate. This bill appropri-
ates $24, 900, 900 for good roads
improvement, $S,000,000 to be
used annually for three years.
The work will be under direct
supervision of the department of
Agriculture aid the money will
be distributed according to pop
ulation. Under this provision
the system of working the roads
of the country as now practiced
in many places will undergo a
radical change and the plan fire.
quently urged by the COURIER for
Fulton county is the most fea-
sible one for this locality. If we
want the benefit of the appropri.
alton the sooner our people be-
stir themselves and adopt road
work by direct taxation and con-
tract labor, the sooner will we
be benefited. Cannot some of
our progressive, wide awake
farmers take the initiative in this
matter and bring 1t to the atten-
tion of the fiscal court for imme-
date action. No half hearted
methods will avail. To have
good roads our farming comTu
nifty must take hold and push
the enterprise.
Farmers in Oklahoma are put
