How About II?

Do the lovers of out door sports

Goddard in Luck.

Ed Goddard and Charles Faraday
are several thousand dollars to the
good as the result of an investment
in the new Nevada goldfield located
in the northern part of Elko county.
The property in which they are Gi-
rectly interested is located at Aura,
which is said to be the geatest
camp for its age in the west. $35, :
600 has been refused for this prop
erty. Mr.. Goddard has such i'm
plicit faith in the future of this
camp that he intends, as soon as
spring opens up, to establish a
well-stocked store, the goods for
which will all be unloaded here and
freighted overland--a four days
journey. They also state that
Mountain City, twenty miles north
of Aura, the home of the Protec.

Boston capitalists, will undoubtedly
become one of the great camps o.
the state, and must of necessity ge

Good roads lead up to within few
miles of the place and it might no
be amiss for the business men her,
to look up this matter.

Mr.. Brothen is confident that
nothing approaching it in princi-

A Good Idea.

1t has been suggested to us that a
farmers institute to be held in
Mountain Home, at which lectures
upon irrigation could be delivered
by competent speakers might be of
great benefit to the people of this
section. Several of these affair S
have been held at different places
on the Twin Falls tract with splen-
did results, and there is no reason
why they should not be equally
successful here. People are COM
ing in here every day and buying
land which they expect to improve
in the near future who know moth
ing of irrigation. Is it impertineni
to suggest that a number of prac-
tical talks on irrigation by mer
who have gained their knowledge
by actual experience might do {
lot of good. Would it be withir
the province O. the commercial clli
to take this matter up?

One of the most important mo-
tions ever made by member of a
Mountain Home Village Council
was that introduced by Trustee
Harley at the special meeting Of the
board last Saturday evening, which
instructed the city engineer to draft
plans and specifications for a sewer
and water system and have them
ieady for next meeting.
This is a matter in which all
are or should be keenly interested.
The purity of the water supply of
any community is of the utmost
Importance. Mountain Home has
always boasted as good water as
can be found anywhere, but at the
present rate of growth and with the
cesspool system now in vogue il
can not long continue to do so.
Another good thing accomplished
was at the suggestion of Ben Ross,
who thought the city could afford
to put up signs on the street cor.
ners, so that residents and visitors
would know where they were al
when strolling around the town.
| w. c. Howie suggested tha

The title of village leaves in tn
mind of the stranger and prospec

The Drayton Rutherford Chapter,
L. d. c., will give a dinner to the

Of the great difficulty they have ex-
perienced in getting the names and
addresses Of the Vetreans, no formal
invitations will be issued, but they
use the medium Of the county papers
to extend to every member Of the
James d. Nance Camp and every Vet
eran residing in the county a most
cordial invitation to attend this din
ner. The Daughters will be disap-
pointed if all are not present; and
they ask each Veteran to regard it
as a duty to inform others Of this
new mode Of invitation.

MOSELEY BROTHERS.
The Big Department House of Pros
perity-Leaders Since
1868.

MoSeley Brothers, of Prosperity, S.
c., began business in 1865, just at
the close Of the war, since which
time they have been the recognized
leaders; their success has been phe-
nomenal. Their business has grown
from year to year until today they
have a department house the equal
of any store in the Carolinas.
Their success has been due to their
tireless efforts to please the people
the farming class especially, who buy
i'll the spring and pay in the fall,
giving them the very best goods at
the lowest possible prices, and on
terms to please. all customers.
Department after department has
been added to their business until it
embraces everything-every need of
man, woman or child.
Their millinery departmnt is brim
full of the latest creations in fancy
millinery and pattern hats for spring
and summer 1907. In this department
the business has been greater than in
any previous year in the past.
AT this store you will also find
spring and summer clothing, dry
goods, notions, pretty shoes and OK
fords for men, women and children,
dress goods galore; in fact, every
thing you will find at this store,
from paper of pins to a six-horse
wagon, and the prices have never
been so favorable.
We take pleasure in commencing
Moseley Bros, Of Prosperity, to the
favorable consideration of the people
of this and other counties, and as
sure you that there is no place in
South Carolina where you can buy
goods on easier terms and at lower
prices than at this great store.-Lex-

Temperance.

We observe with gratitude the
growing sentiment for temperance
manifested in the banishment Of the
sale Of liquors from a number of the
counties of our state and the move
ments provided to rid the evil from
still others.
We believe these expressions are
chiefly the results Of the untiring
labors Of the church IN opposition
to the liquor traffic.
The duty Of the church regarding
temperance is plailhy taught in the
revealed word Of God and the Discip-
line Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in the General Rules
and in chapter Y. on Temperance.
We urge that a strict and conscien-
tious compliance be observed.
We think it well for us to again
reaffirm the position Of the church
to be that we cannot give our support
to Ably method Of control which per-
mits the use or sale of Intoxicating
liquors as q beverage. We should en-
courage every agency available for
the banishment of the great evil from
our fair land.
Respectfully submitted,
r. w. Humphries.
