Editor The Manning Times:
While reading, a few days ago, selec-
.ions from the writings OF Charles
Kinolev, we were much impressed by
the following passage: DUTY. be 1t IN
small matter or a great, is duty still;
the command of heaven: the eldest
voice of God. And it is only they who
are faithful in few things who will be
faithful over many things: only they
who do their duty in every day and
trivial matters who will fulfil them on
GREAT occasions. This is certainly
"the truth in NUTSHELL" a gem
worthy a place in every ones memory:
and when we have good thing we al
wavs like to ''pass it along" hence we
reproduce these noble thoughts OF a
great mind, trusting that oar friends
may read and enjoy then as much as
we have.
We would far rather hold up our fel-
low citizens as objects OF admiration
and emulation for good works and du'
ties well performed, and we regard 1t a
deplorable fact to have to mention IN
these writings the present condition OF
u. e streets of our town: several bridges
on the sidewalk and on main street are
badly in need of repair, and great
many needed Improvements are notice
able which are being neg lected by our
honorable council. We hope, in this
instance, "a hint to the wise is sutfi-
Gent Of course these things are ap-
parent to visitors as we'll as ourselves.
and we want everybody to think we'll OF
