farms in this county are developing
into higher stage of cultivation.
The young farmers have certainly
improved upon the old fogy methods
of their fathers, and the more
modern way of farming is causing
Mother Earth to produce her largest
and best crops.

When we see SO many young men
with their hair parted in the middle
and hanging down over their fore
heads so as to obscure every trace
of intellect, and SO many young
women with their hair all frizzly-
frowsly and Topping around over
their faces in fifty different direc-
tions, we are not surprised that the
followers of Darwin are now posi-
lively sure that mankind descended
from the monkey.
When you want good job of
printing done just take your copy
to a printer and tell him to do you
good job, and he will. If you
think you know more about the
business than he does and select
your paper and instruct him what
type to use and all the little details,
you will get a botch job. A printer
working under instructions from
one who knows nothing about the
business, no matter if he is an ex-
pert, cannot get out a neat job.
This paper is endeavoring to
give its patrons the best service
that IS possible to give and all that
the patronage will permit. Our

amount and kind of matter it con-

paper still more effective by liberal
ly patronage, both in subscriptions
and advertising The paper will
always endeaver to merit the
patronage.

never trade at home" Yes, we
believe in it, but those who cry out
so loud and persistently should
certainly be first to set the example.
Why not make the best of
things as they come to us2 There
are certain ones in this town who
have been complaining of hard
times ever since we knew them.
They could not enjoy the last few
weeks of a warm winter for fear the
fruit buds would start and then be
killed. They know that crops will
be failure this year. There is
always something disastrous going
to happen. It is just as cheap and
you are worth more to your family
and the town if you will look on
the sunny side of life.
A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t is
the home paper that keeps the peo-
