Young lady reader, do not
smile on the sutton that toasts
your fair name. The love which
he speaks to you is washed from
his lips by the wine. Do not let
him pledge his allegiance over
the glass of fiery spirits it is
blasphemy; it will be perjury.
The wine is dearer to his heart
than your sweet face and woman
ly goodness; he already has a
master; he cannot have two.
Dream not of conversion after
you are his; that painless route
is misery and failure. The man
who will not sacrifice his love of
drink for the prize of your hand,
will not, when it is his in Gods
name, emancipate himself.

And be it further resolved, that
said commission be required to
report to the governor within six
months, with recommendations
that suitable legislation be en-
acted by the next General Assem-
bly, to put our Public School Sys-
tenn on an educational basis equal
to that of any state in the union.
18th, And be it resolved that
each of our county papers be
furnished a copy of these resolu-
tons with request to publish.

MRS. GREEN ON SOCIETY.

81 was once a belle myself"
said Mrs. Hetty Green, mother
of E. H. r. Green, the Texas
railroad owner. Mrs. Green,
who is reputed to be the richest
woman in the world, and who
manages her own property, de-
clares that society hasn't enough
to do to keep out of mischief.
She said that the girls of this
day and age are altogether too
extravagant, and that it's use
less extravaganza, based on per-
sonal whims and frivolous tend
encies.
The Adair County news., 1907-09-04

Frequently you pick up a local
paper and after glancing at it,
YEARLY thrust it aside, remark
ing: Nothing in the old paper!!"
Did you ever stop to think what
that means? 1t means that no
misfortune has befallen anyone
in our city, that no fire has wiped
out a neighbours worldly goods,
that the grim angel of death has
not crossed the threshold of a
friend, that no man driven by
hatred or fear, has taken the life
of a fellow being, that no poor
devil, haunted by the past or the
misdeeds of some other, has
crossed the divide by his own
hand, and many other things
that ought not to have happened
have not happened. So next
time you pick up any paper and
it's headlines do not announce a
tragedy give a little thanks in
stead of grumbling because there
is no news.
The Adair County news., 1907-09-04

Several cases of fever in town ad-
monish us that the streets, alleys,
privies, cellars, weed patches and back
yards, and every place that can cause
disease, should be Immediately looked
after. All mud holes and stagnant
ponds should be at once filled, and lime
and other disinfectants should be freely
used. A warning to our citizens is all
that ought to be required.

The Adair County news., 1907-09-04

Occasional headache, belching, bad
taste in the mouth, lack of APPETITE and
slight nervousness are SYMPTOMS of indi-
gestion which, when allowed to go un-
cared for, will develop into a case of
dyspepsia that will take a long time to
get rid of. Don't neglect your stomach.
At the first indication of trouble take
something that will help it along in its
work of digesting the food you eat.
Kodol For Indigestion and Dyspepsia
will do this. Kodol will make your
food do you good and will enable you to
enjoy what you eat. Sold by Page &

SOME GOOD NOTES.

The man who raises scrub stock
usually raises scrub grain
Don't burn the straw. Use it
for bedding for the stock and re-
turn it to soil to renew fertility.
Thorough preparation is half
the cultivation. Our farmers
will realize this growth of crops
next season.
There is no play connected
with earning a living, neither is
there any play work connected
with any department of farm
work.
Those spongy places in the
road may be successfully drained
with tile. Drainage is the first
essential in the improvement of
a road.
A farmer should watch the
market. A good seller is usually
a successful farmer. With this
watching seek to prepare for the
market a prime article which
will bring a high price in it's
merit.
The small potatoes and other
refuse vegetable can be cooked
up into good feed Elk.
