Praise Your Town and Work For
Its Upbuilding.

The following which is taken from
an exchange breathes the spirit of
loyalty to ones town which every
citizen should feel
There is no better way to ruin q town
than for those who live in it to go about
apologizing for its existence. There are
some who are always ready to say, by
their actions at least. that this place
don't amount to much. They will tell
you that the town is dead; that no one
would think of stopping here; that some
town adjacent is more respectable, more
enterprising, has better people, better
enjoyments, is ahead of US in everything
This is all wrong Even if it be true nc
one should ever admit it when it comes
to make a comparison. Every good citi-
zen of this town should take a special
local pride in all that pertains to home.
The schools, the churches, the amuse-
ments, the business. the pleasures, the
picnics, the celebrations in fact every
thing should be looked on, by our own
people as just as good as can be gotten
up elsewhere. The town that says I'VE
cam will always succeed. The town
that says "Oh, don't know, | don't
think it will amount to much is never Of
much force II you have no local pride
borrow some. IL

1t was one OF the prettiest marriages
that has been witnessed in Hender-

gowned, her stately. figure draped
with flowing veil, was surprising
fair to look upon, nor did the manly
groom ever appear SO handsome and
happy.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be ineurable. For & great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and pre-
seribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
uounced it ineurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Political Conditions Seen In
Different Light Since
Clash.

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-Yesterday's riot
in the Indian national congress at ST.
rat, Bombay, over the question Of In
dian home rule, has suddenly aroused
England to a realization Of political
conditions in India.
Warnings have been sounded from
time to time for several years, but not
even I'm the east have Europeans re-
garded them as worthy Of very grave
consideration. The home rule party's
violence at Surat was not, IN itself.
particularly important. but it served to
call attention TO the activity with which
agitators have long been stirring the
people to revolt throughout the entire
country
Niceroy Lord Minto is one Of the few
who have been pointing out to the gov
ernment that trouble is ahead.
One step for which an early effort is
likely Is suppression Of the national
volunteers, a native organization which
admits training recruits throughout the
country in swordsmanship and archery
