The good citizen is the man who,
whatever his wealth or his poverty,
strives manfully to do his duty to him
self, to his family, to his neighbor, to
the state: who is incapable of the base
ness which manifests itself either in ar
rogance or in envy, but who, while de
manding justice for himself is no less
scrupulous to do justice to others

This locality was much benefited by
the rains which fell Friday and Satur-
day. The rain fall was especially bene-
fetal to growing crops of small grain.
All kinds of crops are looking fine and
the prospects were never better at this
season of the year. The "old timer"
predicts that this will be the banner
year for crops on the Divide, and "old
timers" predictions can generally be re-
lied upon.
If there is one thing in which church
es, as a rule, need to be more careful, it
is the matter of preachers salaries.
With an Indifference and an insensbil-
ity which we cannot understand many
churches seem to think that contract
between themselves and the minister is
no contract at all. They promise him
definite salary then pay him whatever is
convenient The grocery man, the coal
man and even the jantor must be paid,
but the debt owing the minister is look
ed upon as altogether righteous and
proper.
