George had been away on business for whole long week, and during that time he had sent Clara ten letters, six postal cards and 42 picture postcards.
 Why, then, was there touch of coldness in her greeting when he flew to her arms on his return?

 "Oh, George" she said, you didn't send me kiss in your ninth letter."

Be Not Afraid.

He has not learned the lesson of his life who does not every day sur mount a fear. If you have no faith in a beneficent power above you, but see only an adamantine fate coiling its folds about nature and man, then reflect that the best use of fate is to teach us courage. If you have no con- fidence in any foreign mind then be brave because there is always one good opinion which must always be of importance to you-namely, your own.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to the Farmers of the United States.

One of the most important move ments that has been inaugurated of recent years, and which has resulted in wonderful benefit to the people is the good roads movement. Within the United States there are approximately about S,000,000 farmers. If during a year each of those farmers can be upon horses and wagons by means of improved roads, it means a saving of $S0,000, ,000 annually; but the truth is that the improved roads that have been built up the past half dozen years through agitation of the good roads land from $50 to s100. Thus it can be seen that the savings brought about through this movement aggregate hun dreds of millions of dollars each year
 Good roads are important to the progressive town. This fact has be- there exists live agricultural town its citizens will be found to be staunch advocates of road improvement, and there is civic pride and friendly com petition in the matter of having good roads leading to the towns.

There is a characteristic story of an American woman-formerly well known in London-that will bear re- beating, says writer in London Truth. The lady is said to have written the following letter to a royal parsonage:

Iron Known to Ancient Eoyptians.

That Iron was known to the Egyp- uans, even in the earliest times, is evident from their conspicuous metal lnrgical knowledge, and from the facts that the working of granite and DOT phyry is scarcely conceivable without steel tools. that the oldest tombs have inscriptions referring to iron, and that sources of supply of manganiferous iron ore were found by Prof. Bauer man in upper Egypt.

 TTON. LAPS. D. ACCORD, 1925 G St., l Washington D. G., Ex-Adjutant General State of Tennessee, and States Attorney at Nashville, Is an ardent friend of Peruna. He does not hesitate to give public endorsement to this very excellent remedy.
 As tonic Peruna has no superior. But it is as catarrh remedy it has achieved it's worldwide notoriety and success.
 Any catarrh remedy to become per manently effectusl in the cure of ca tarrh must contain tonic and invigorat- ing qualities with it's anti-catarrhal qualities. Cafarrfi Is always an express sion Of nerve weakness, either local or general. It is, therefore, important that catarrh remedy should possess reliable invigorating qualities In order to thoroughly rid the system of catarrh.

TOMMY AS GOOD AS A CHART.

A Boston physician tells story of
a younoster Of his own that an over
strenuous vacation had put on the sick
list. The father had an appropriate
prescription filed, and left the bottle
with the child s mother. AS she, how
ever, is very forgetful, he gave her
chart, and suggested that she set down
the hours when the medicine should
be given, checking off each dose as
taken. Upon returning from his
evening calls, however, he found the
chart blank.
"Good gracious, Mary" he ex-
claimed, "surely you haven't failed
to give Tom his medicineq"
ooh, no! did not miss single
time" his wife assured him.
Chow in the world did you remem-
Der it without the chart to" he asked.
She smiled.
"That was easy. I just told Tom
this morning at what hours he was to
have 1t, and half an hour before each
time he would begin hallooing that he
wouldn't take it. "-Twentieth Cen

STRICTLY FRESH EGGS.

There are summer resorts, remote
from any agricultural communities,
where fresh farm products are even
harder to obtain than in the city. It
was at such place that the new
bOarder, who had eaten four or five
breakfasts there, began to wonder
why the eggs were invariably served
fried.
'ESee here he inquired one morn
ing of the genial colored man who
waited upon him, "why do you al
ways fry eggs here? Don't you ever
boil them?"
''Oh, oh, yes, sah!" responded the
waiter pleasantly. "Of co Sc yo' kin
have 'em boiled if yo' wants 'em, but
yo' know, sab, yo' takes he risk !"-

ing the negro. We know what eduea-
ton means to the negro. It units
him for the purpose for which he
was created, and makes dangerous
enemy in our midst; makes forgers,
idlers, Migrants, thieves. We know
that the mutinous atmosphere, in
communities where large negro col
leges are situated, abounds with dis
cord and rebellion, place where riots
are promulgated, and is not a safe
abode for any white family, but we
know, even if outsiders do spend for
and propagate such institutions, that
the laws of this fair free land, are
such that we can make them sell or
move or abandon them when they be-
come menace to our safety.
Let our next Legislature pass
law to wipe out the well-known SER
vice pan, making it misdemeanor
to carry food from homes in which
they work, thereby running the va
grant negroes from the cities and put
ting them to work in the fields, and
let us divide the tax and prepare ru-
raj schools and take our little coun-
try children out Of the fields and edu-
cate them, and the farms of Georgia
will blossom like rose and fewer
farms will be deserted and the own
ers move to town because they can
then educate their children and i'm
prove their farms too.

depreciation Of duty and guided by
common appreciation of respecta-
bility. It's the mightiest power in
our civil life today, and the indi-
vidual who wantonly ignores it or
provokes it to combat will retire from
the contest with very much bat
tered anatomy.
Under the license Of these occa-
sions we are all prone to indulge in
some extravaganza Of rhetoric. Still,
I hazard the further observation that
it is within the power Of the country
press to effect any reform which it
may espouse, whether social, eco
nomic or political, and I believe the
time has come when your readers are
going to hold you to stricter account
ability in the discharge of such duty.
Finally, have the largest faith in
the progress and uplift of our coun-
try, in the final triumph Of those sim
pie virtues which are essential to the
development of character and in the
vindication Of the higher ideals Of
citizenship. | can not think that the
expression of these views is mere
"sound and fury" or that they have
not logical connection with my theme,

THE COUNTRY PRESS.
An Address by Chas. s. Lewis, Of
Quincy, I'll.

We are today enjoying higher
civilization, truer religion and
better humanity than ever before
dreamed of in our philosophy or writ
in our history, and nowhere do they
find more faithful expression and ex-
emplification than in your own COM
monwealth of Missouri Were I asked
to name the most important factor of
the various energies which have con-
tributed towards this development I
would answer, "The country press.'
[ am not seeking to disparage the
large city dailies and other metropoli-
tan publications, all Of which are in
dicative of the growing literary taste
of your citizens, but the paper which
exercises a real moulding influence
upon the life of the community, which
is the honored visitant at the fire
side, is the local weekly with it's rec
ord of personal interests and sympa-
thies and tragedies.
Perhaps it's influence lies in the
fact that it is the forum of the great
common people, for whenever any
agency becomes invested with this
function it has acquired the highest
prerogative Of power and authority.
You remember Abraham Lincoln once
said that God Almighty must have
loved the common people, else He
wouldn't have made so many Of them,
and we have all learned to venerate
what God has done and to sanction
what Lincoln said.
wouldn't give much for the
American home that exiles the local
paper from its hearthstone. It is like
the poets description Of the man
without music in his soul, eft only
for treason, for stratagems and
spoils. We learn our best lessons
IN patriotism from the country press,
together with those other rugged vir-
tues which mark the moral robustness
OF the times.
There are two influences which give
direction to every man s career-a
mothers hallowed instruction and
those records of boyhood days which
are mirrored in memory from the
columns of the old home paper. The
type, minion and BREWER, which
printed it's dear old pages has been
battered down. and the brain that
ached upon its composition has
ceased to burn, but its influence re-
mains like a beacon ready still to
light pathway of maturer years.
If you want practical test of the
peculiar charm and interest which
your home paper possesses, just note
the riot of emotions which aspire for
supremacy when you unexpectedly en-
counter a copy after prolonged alb
sence from home. 1t is like the sight
Of Your flag in a foreign land.
But, great as has been the influence

believe in that kind of money. Like
Jefferson, Benton and Jackson and
the democrats generally of the old
school, [ believe in government mon
ey-every dollar, gold, silver or pa
per, being created and issued by the
government. / do not believe in ma
tional bank notes nor in clearing
house certificates. We were forced
to accept clearing house certificates
last year, and will, probably, have
to accept them again. Having made
us take this soap wrapper currency,
whether we wanted to or not, I feel
very much like feeding them with the
same spoon. Turn about is fair
play. They sauced our goose last
winter; let us sauce their gander
this winter. Southern men every
where will unite with us, for COM
mon interest unites us all.
Fight for Principle
Something more is involved in this
struggle than mere greed for dollars.
We are not gathered at this conven-
ton for the mere matter of money
making. 1t is question of justice,
Of principle, of sacred right, Of self
preservation. In effect, it is just as
bad for us to be robbed by law as in
violation of law. To the victim there
is no substantial difference. When a
sneak thief snatches your purse, the
law brings its heavy hand down upon
the criminal; but under the same sys-
tenn of government the law gives to
the manufacturer and to inland com
merce the power to plumber the farm
ers of this country to the extent Of
hundreds of millions of dollars per
year. What are we to say about it?
What are we to do about it? Are we
always to submit to spoliation? Are
we never to take up our arms and
make stand for home and loved
ones? Farmers Of the south, you are
industrial slaves Rouse yourselves
and throw off the yoke. BY united
effort you can regain much which has
been lost Common interest SAYS
unite. Patriotism says unite. Self
preservation says unite. Be lions
among lions, and not sheep among
wolves.
"Spot cotton is the South s natural
king. We have not served him 10y
ally, and the result is, cotton futures
IS king. Let us pull the usurper
down. Let us drive the pretender
out. Let us once more crown spot
cotton as king, and serve him so wise
ly and so loyalty that all the world
shall acknowledge him as king. In
that day the South, secure in her
natural monopoly, will dictate the
price to all the world In that day
the South will not be the industrial
slave of the north, as she is now, but
Will be free once more-free as she
was IN the days of old, when South
