A INV worst enemies to the progress of any community, and should be positively and emphat sally avoided. They sap the strength and vitality of the people and re- tard the progress of all who come under their baneful influence.
 Heretofore there have been times when these two disturbers of the peace and dignity have cropped out and have been the direct means of engendering hard feelings, animosity, and in a few cases have caused a few the loss of former friends. Unless checked the blight will spread. It is contagious.
 Now, with the forming of our new county, let every one lay a. side the feeling of unfriendliness and perhaps hatred which may have been planted, cultivated and irrigated during the late un- pleasastness, and in a frame of mind likely to produce the oppo- site of these, go to work for the betterment and advancement of our county. Let the people of the towns work together toward making the valley more populous and prosperous.
 Each citizen is expected to work for his own town, but why 1t is necessary to decry another is not at present very apparent. The very nature of the towns of the valley, their different envir- onments. for bid that there should be any friction.
 And what is good for the peo- pie should be applied to the news papers. They should spend their time and space to the up building ot the country. They should look to the needs of their home towns and give their read CTS the news of the day and week. There should from now on, be a concerted action among the pap CTS and the people to get to- gether on all matters of moment and proceed to forge to the front.
 There will be many questions in the future to be settled, and these will be of vital interest to us all, individually and collec- lively, and the conclusion of each question should be arrived at soberly, earnestly harmonously.
 In the new county there will be differences aturally. But let decide our questions and fix our differences hereafter in a peace ful friendly way.
 In the new county let harmony prevail.

the sister of Nlnlan w. Edwards and
came to spend year with her brother.
She was very fair and soon was the
reigning belle. No sooner did Lincoln
know her than he felt his heart change.
The other affair, according to the Ed

ing to Herndon, according to Lincoln
and everybody else, was 'pollcy
match" but this was love. For awhile
he evidently tried hard to go ON as be-
fore. but his feelings were too strong
to be concealed. Mr.. Edwards endeav-
ored to reconcile matters by getting
bis sister to marry Speed. but the re-
bellious beauty refused Speed incontl-

married Mr.. Schuyler Strong. Poor
Lincoln never whispered word Of his
passion to her. His high sense Of hon

would not have listened to him IL 1t

the lady who was entitled to his hand.

that memorable evening Vcltaire's
'Merope' was performed for the first
time In Paris. The author was known
to the Paris public, but nothing that
they had seen of him had pleased
them SO much as 'Merope and the en-
