The Journal highly appreciates the

ates us as to renew their subscription
for another year. The many words

cost you nothing to have your say in

Our friend Chris Berg, driver on
route four was not hurt by the run
away last week nor was there any
damage done team or buggy. But
Chris don't think they attend to the
delivery as we'll as they have been
taught to do. He objects to the de.
posting of mail matter where there
are no boxes.
Ifevery business man in our town
could do business on strictly cash
system it would be . blessing to us
all. II we all had to pay cash we
would learn to live within our meane.
1t would save business men the ex.
pense of book keepers and the loss of
bad debts, of which there is not
merchant in Audubon County but
what has plenty, and all of which
some one has to pay for. If our town
could gradually work into strictly
cash system it would be better for us
all.
A word to you sonny-you little u
or Is year old boy who is smoking CT.
garettes on the sly. What do you
want to be when you grow up-a stall
wart, healthy, vigorous, broad-shoul-
dered man, or . little, puny, measely
no count weakminded dude? II you
want to be man, strong like q man,
with hair on your face, brains in your
head, and muscles in your limbs, you
must let those cigarettes alone. If
you want to be thing pitied by your
folks, despised by the girls, and held
in contempt by the fellows, keep
right on smoking and end your days
in the insane asylum.
An Audubon county teacher once
said to his pupils, to the boy who
would make the best piece of compos-
ition in five minutes on "How to
Overcome Habit" he would give a
prize. When the five minutes had

and said: Well, Sir, habit is hard to
letter it does not change "abit, if you
take off another letter you still have a
"bit" left, ifyou take off still another
the whole of "ito remains, If you take
off another it ia not totally used up all
of which goes ~ show that II you
want to get rid of habit you must
throw it off altogether.
The editor of this paper would be
the last man on earth to knowingly
say word to hurt the feelings Of any
Of its subscribers or citizens, especially
at time when the dark winged mes
senger of death has brought sorrow
to the home, but from the best of
motives we desire to call the atten.
ton of our readers to the custom that
Loo OuGSIOWA AIo puIpObo IL IL ever
had one. When sickness and death
comes to your home it is only natural
that your friends and neighbors
should do what they could to assist
you. They would be heathens il they
did not They know from the ex-
preston of your face that you are
thankful and deeply appreciate all
they do and it is not necessary to
rush into print and tell the world
that your neighbors were kind when
you were in trouble. The reading
public are becoming tired of the old
stereotyped "card of thanks" you can
express to your friends by look or
word your thankfullness in o more
impressive manner than you can in q
column of cold type.
