making hay" But few people
were IN town and the few cam
didates who stood about the
Court House went indoors occasionally

more of suspense is dreary outlook for
them.

shabby clothes. When Edison, the in
ventor. first entered Boston. he wore
pair of linen breeches in the depth Of
winter. Don't snub boy because his
house is plain and unpretending. Abra-
ham Lincoln's early home was in a log
cabin. Don't snub boy because of the
ignorance Of his parents Shakespeare,
was the son of man who was not able
to write his own name. Don't snub
boy because he chooses humble posi-
tion. The author of Pilgrims Pro-
Rress' was tinker. Don't snub boy
of physical disability. Milton was
blind. Don't snub a boy because of
dullness in his lessons Hograth. the
celebrated painter and engraver, was a
stupid boy at his books. Don't snub
anybody. Not only because some day
be may outstrip you in the race of life,
but because it is neither kind nor right,
nor Christian hke.-Ex.
If the townships of Butler county
intend taking advantage of the State
Road law, it is perfectly proper and
natural that Butler township, from its
central position, surrounding the coun-
ty seat and market town of the county,
should lead off-to be followed by the
other townships as they come in order.
Butler township now has some of the
worst roads in the county, their i'm
provement would be benefit to every
body who comes here overland, and the
cost to the township would be nothing
