WHY NOT

Come to Mt. Sterling to liveg 1t
is one of the best and most eco
nomical places to live in Kentucky.
We have the best and most re-
liable wateriplant in Kentucky and
during the late drouth Mt. Ster-
ling was.ltheyonly inland city in
the State where at all times was a
superabundance of pure and whole
somelwater for all kinds of domes-
tic and manufacturing purposes.
Enough water now in Slate River
to supply a city of 100000 people
for a whole year if no more water
fell. Water analysed and pro-
nounced the best in the State.
No epidemics of typhoid fevers,
diphtherias, or diseases of any
kind, 1000 feet above sea level,
the highest place between Lexing-
ton and Ashland makes it the most
desirable place for any one wish
ing good high ground and healthy
location.
She has besides plenty of water,
and good water, an abundance OF
Natural Gas, which is the next
greatest blessing to pure water.
Cheap gas, so cheap in fact for
person to burn wood or coal, if it
were given to them, would indi-
cate a prejudice and an inclination
to follow up the old rule of using
the flint lock rifle instead of the
Improved Automatic gun, because
papa used one.
She has a Public Graded School
up-t o-date in every respect, where
free education can be had to all
corners.
If you don't like the Graded
School. she has modern well
equipped Collegiate Institute pre-
sided over by a well qualified corps
of teachers. You can take your
choice.
| She has an Ice Plant, where is
made pure ice from double distilled
water. and delivered at your door
at very low prices.
If YOU don't like natural gas for
light, she has an electric light
plant second to none in the coun-
try, at all times presided over by
officers and servants pleasant and
polite, who stand ready to give
van linI,t on ,,nUror ON opX op1 all
subjects. Power sufficient to
run traction line. She has free
mail delivery over entire county
and city. She has elegant service
over the entire world by up-to-date
| Telegraph and Cable Co.'S. both
| The Western Union and Postal.
and has the distinction of four tel
ephone companies operating in the
field. Talk to your hearts con
tent, talk the wires red hot if you
so desire. Yes, we think you will
| find talk cheap if you don't talk too
long.
Plenty of churches and able min
jsters, all kinds of secret and fra
ternal orders,
If there is a place in Kentucky
or elsewhere in which all kinds of
country produce can be bought as
cheap AS in Mt. Sterling we have
been unable to find it. We have
fine markets, meats, fruits and
vegetables.
Plenty of poultry, eggs, cattle,
sheep. hogs. Sometimes in a sin

HELP FOR COUNTRY EDITORS

One would think there was an
old country editor in the postoffice
depar tment, making laws and reg
ulations, a good fellow of the Tom
Richardson order. who is bound to
give the boys boost and bring
them their reward. He ust be
man of experience with the frail-
ties OF the delinquent subscriber
that terror of the editor and despair
Of the editor's wife who in most
cases is the financial IMAM of the
firm For 10 and behold comes
the ruling that papers to get into
the pound rate must hereafter be
paid for by Subscribers in advance
or at best cannot run more than a
wear behind. Well why not? All
the prosperous city publications
adopted that rule years ego, and 1T
should be enforced by the country
weekly as matter of plain BUSH
ness
If ever the iaborcr is worthy of
his hire, it is the editor and pub
Usher of the local weekly, plug
ins and boosting year in and out
for his home town and county, Of
ten worried into sleepless nights
by visions of bills due and payable
and nothing on hand or in sight to
meet them. 1t is safe to venture
saying there is not a country paper
in the land that has not, at this
date, from $500 to $1,000 on its
books, owing by good fellows"
most of whom are honest of pur-
pose, yet careless or shiftless about
paying up. These same good
fellows have plenty of money on
circus day and when they attend
the county fair or other public di-
version, or when they think of it
at all say to themselves they will
pay some day. They meet the
newspaper man with a cordial
shake of the hand and compliment
him on the good work he is doing
but that is all while he wonder!
if the Creator gave some mer
double allowance of gall. In mis-
taken fear he hesitates to cut then
off.
The day of deliverancc is a
hand henceforth the sign goes u
cash up and no grumbling. !"
WOUL ND'r SAY I'm SORRY.
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1908-01-30

There arc men who will never
apologize for anything. You've
seen people like that. They think
it would be weakness. They seem
to be of the opinion that the world
will think less of them if they
don't keep up the bluff of making
good, so they eat their hearts out
in bitterness and think they are
being men when other people are
sorry for them because they are
proving only how insignificant
they are.
A man like this has never grown
up at all. His body may have
grown and he may have acquired
some learning, but the man him
self has no more conception of
life than blind puppy.
Friendships have been broken
because one friend would not say
s1'm sorry Wives have left
husbands for the same reason.
Children have ceased to honor
parents. Men have thrown away
prospect after prospect for the sake
of childish pride.
When you say 'I'm sorry" you
are laying little offering before the
high altar of humanity.
s1'm sorry" means my broth
or p'-"My sister -
The hope of your whole existence
is in the words, 'I'm sorry
What are you going to do to-
morrow if you haven't learned from
oday and yesterday?
A good many of us believe in a
hereafter snd heaven. If you d
like to go there, we have a kind OF
an idea that it would be pretty near
all right if you could look up into
ST. PETERS face there at the gate
and say, I'm sorry. Daily

for railroad expansion. 1t is quite
within bounds to say that during
the next five or six years this
country ought to spend ST., $780,
600, 900 year in the enlargement
of railroad facilities. We ought
within the next five or ten years
to put one half as much money
into the enlargement of railroad
facilities as the total amount now
represented in all the stocks and
bonds of the railroads of the coun-
try. Where is so vast a sum to
come from? If it should not come,
then business will be halted, rail-
road facilities will grow steadily
worse instead OF better, and the
country will suffer as 1T has suf-
fcred for the last few years because
the railroads were unequal to the
volume of traffic. The country
holds it's hands up in horror, and
/ justly SO, at the disastrous railroad
wrecks, but railroad wrecks happen
to a considerable extent because the
volume of traffic is largely beyond
the facilities of the railroads, and
partly, too. because men have been
taught during the last few years
TO seek to get as much as possible
and give as little of faithful work
in return as possible. While rail-
road employees generally are faith
full to their trust, some inefficient
men, without a sense of their re-
sponsibility, have eagerly grasped
at this teaching and feel that the
railroads and the world at large
owe them a living whether they
earn ii or not and the anti-railroad
agitation is largely responsible for
this. Until these two things have
been changed the railroads must
labor under tremendous disadvan-
tagcs. Railroads must be enabled
by large earnings to practically re-
build the whole railroad system OF
the country. They must be made
so profitable that money will find
in railroad construction a most at
tractive field for investment, fol
until this condition prevails it will
be impossible to secure the practical
necessities for the expansion of rail
road facilities, so essential, SO su
premely essential, TO the best inter
ests of the country.

There is man in Pennsyl-
vania who could avoid five years
in prison and save $4,000 if he
would only say, 'I'm sorry -
And he won't say it.
The five years is his sentence
and the $45, 600 is the damages he
has to pay because he emptied q
shotgun into the young man with
whom his daughter eloped, and
crippled him for life. There was
nothing against the young man,
either, except h was poor.
Some people can forgive every
thing except poverty.
1t must have en- so with this
man. He nursed his anger silent
ly, then sent word for the young
couple to come to see him. AS
they came up the walk he cried
TO the husband, Here's my greer-
ing ~ JOd dtiO III CO.
He's had time to think it over
now. Don't see very well how he
could help being sorry for such a
cowardiy piece of work, do you
But he went admit it. The young
husband is ready to refuse the dam
ages, and there's pardon waiting
for the man if he'll only do the
square thing he won't

pride not the pride that makes 6
man hold his head up, but the
kind that makes MIN get his back
