 Compliment to the "Boosters"
 Editor Freeman says in the last issue of the Sheffield Record: "We do not know whether our neighbor down the line has what is called a Boost" club or not; ii it has, its members are cer- tainlY living up to tleir obligation. Since our visit to Canaan two weeks ago with view to securing a place of resi- dence Gin case no suitable house could be found ill Shefield) we have received no less than dozen solicitations to b. cate there. The efforts of the Oanaanites to induce desirable residents toslocate in their midst is commendable and is bound to revert to the good of the town. If all who read this would make up their minds to speak well of their neighbois s and of their town, and encourage every enterprise in the town, as the people of Canaan do, your town would be much better place to live in"

 Took His Own Treatment
 The editor went into Dr. H. L. Ross tooth repair shop to have a tooth tinkered the other day and found the doctor at work in his laboratory. And the doctor acted like man with something ailin' him.
