lar throughout the State, aud really
seems to suit every need that could
arise. Of course there are some persons
who cannot vote any ballot that re
qulres a mark for party or personal
Identification, but those who can, and
they fortunately are in The great ma
jority, want ballot, something on this
order.
As we said in a previous issue, there
IS no excuse now for complex ballot
and public sentiment strongly declares
for the simple kind. There are some
who favor ballot that can be taken
home and prepared before going to the
polls. This is objected to by some
as offering chances Of bribery, intimida-
ton and fraud. IT would be helpful to
great many persons, who like to con-
slider matters Of this kind with their
family or friends, and make out their
tickets as they want them, away from
the sometimes confusing surroundings
Of the polling booths, as we have them
now.

Since the "Shoemaker Good

Survey Commission has made
surveys on over 100 miles and
furnished estimates for seventy
three miles Of road. The total
estimated cost for these seventy
three miles was S457. 299 81. or
an average estimated cost Of
$3.50 81 per mile. The total

present time i thirfv-uine miles.
On this the contracted cost is
S2Oo 1880. or an average of

something over nine hundred

Many do with opportunities as
children do at the seashore-
They fill their little hands with
sand, then let the grains fall
through, one by one, till they
are all gone. There are four
things that never come back
the spoken word, the sped arrow,
the past life and the neglected
opportunity. How carefully we
should speak! How eagerly we
should sieze every opportunity
that comes to us! Are we sitting
still, thinking there is nothing to
do, and thinking that some one
else can do no more than we can?
Perhaps they can, but that is not
right. The Scripture say s:
whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with all thy might
Opportunities are the offers of
God. Heaven gives US enough
when It gives us opportunities.
Great opportunities are gener.
ally the result of the wise i'm
provement of small ones. If we
think our opportunities are not
good enough, we had better i'm
prove them. Remember, we are
responsible for talents, for time,
and for opportunities.
AS general rule those who
have no opportunities desplse
small ones, and those who de-
spise small opportunities never
get large ones. Strive to make
everyone you come in contact
with feel better for having known
you, and if there are shadows in
your life you will find them flee
ing away as the darkness disap
pears at dawn.
There is for everyone a field to
cultivate and a harvest to reap.
If we have worldly means conse-
crate them to Christ. If we
have eloquence use it on the
side that Paul and Wilberforce
used theirs. But if we have
neither of them we have at any
rate a smile with which we can
encourage the disheartened.
We are to be awarded not &C.
cording to the greatness of our
work, but according to the indus
try with which we employ the
talents we really possess. We
congratulate all those who are
toilIng for the outcasts and the

are setting in motion will never

urinary trouble sets in they think it

disease. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles be-
cause they are certain to lead to more
serious ills.
