Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1907-03-20

farmers living along the lines of
rural routes have contributed a
bushel or so of corn to the carrier.
This is a suggestion that might well
be acted upon by the patrons of
every ruraI route. The carriers
have a government job, but il is by
no means a private snap" 1t |
takes a good deal Of management to
make 10th ends meet when they |
are obliged to keep two horses, live
in town and buy all the necessary |
provisions at the market price. The
carriers of our county have gone
over their routes during the muddy |
weather at a great in convenience,
and are always faithful in the
performance OF their duties. A
bushel Of corn or SO gwen to the
carrier would hardly be missed by
the farmer, but it would be q great
saving in the expense Of horse feed, |
and the generous acts would certain
ly be appreciated by the faithful
mail man.

Did you ever notice that talk"
doesn't hurt man much? Perfec-
ton isn't looked for in man, and
when some one tries to injure
man by ranting about few faults
he has, the absent one, who is prob
ably attending to his own affairs, is
elevated In the hearers estimation,
while the informant is lowered &C
cordingly. If man knocks along,
dong fairly well, people realize that
while he has some faults, he has
more virtues, and they are charit-
able enough to overlook these
faults But it is different with a
girl or woman. No matter how
good and pure a woman may be,
let some one start an infamous lie
about her and everyone is willing
to pass it along, and there is always
someone to believe it. That lie can
meyer be lived down. Tt may burn
low but gossip-lovers are ready
with new fuel, Did you ever think
how damnably mean some goody-
good people are IN this respect?
"A friend at our elbow suggests
that the best way to head off the
mail order houses is for the local.
merchant to advertise literally and
get the trade themselves. 1t does
look reasonable. All OF the sue
cessful mail order houses are heavy
advertisers and if they can make it
pay why not the local merchant.

The leading secret societies Of

Building material is still going
up, but in these unparalleled pros
