list SO.

We do not think any publisher
wants to force anyone to take his
paper, if he does not want it; at
the same time he expects those
who take his paper to pay for it,
Just the same as they pay any
other debt. No patriotic citizen
would want it said of his county
that no paper was published in his
county, and yet if every citizen
waited for someone else to support
paper this would be the case.
The men who keep a country pa
per going is the one who takes it
himself and trys to interest his
neighborin it. The man who builds
up and develops the possibilities of
the county and make it better is
the man who does things and not
wait for the other fellow, not the
fellow whose grandpa got there;
not the fellow who would if he
could; not the man who's going
to some day; but the man who
does now, today No sitting around
waiting about him; no expecting
something to happen; no looking
for something to turn up. No,
sir; it is the man that does things
that makes the world better and
keeps the institutions of county
progressing. He is not only in
the push, but he is the push. He's
all right, he is; be greases the
wheels of progress and keeps the
world spinning around. So, take
the county paper, buy the farmers

THE OLD MANS ADVICE.

A young minister in a college
town was embarrassed by the
thought of criticism in his culti-
waited congregation. He sought
counsel from his father, an Old
and wise minister, saying: 81 am
hampered in my ministry in the
pulpit | am now serving. If I-cite
anything from geology, there is
Prof. A-teacher of this science
right before me. If l use an illus
tration Of Roman mythology, there
is Prof. B-ready to trip me up
for my little inaccuracy. If I in
stance something in English liter
allure that pleases me, I am cowed
by the presence of the learned man
that teaches that branch. What
shall / do?" The sagacious old
man replied: $50 not be discour-
aged, preach the Gospel. They
probably know very little of that.

THE LENTEN SEASON.

Dear Brethren and Fellow Citizens
at this season of the year all people are
looking forward to that period which,
from the earliest Christian days, has
been set aside by the Christians as a
time for relaxation from what are
termed worldly" affairs. 1t is not a
season belonging solely to the Episcopal
churches, but to ALL Christians of what
ever name or trend of thought. Lent
has been observed continuously from
the time of the Apostles, and is, there
fore, one of the oldest of Christian OBJ
servances, and is one of the pure rites
of the undivided Christian Church,
which has survived the stormy period
Of the Reformation. l, therefore, call
your careful attention to this fact, and
with fervent prayer that it may bring
to your mind the call of our Blessed
Lord to ALL of HIS followers to come
apart and watch and pray with Him
awhile.
The season is given us that we may
hear and consider the solemn story of
His sacrifice and death for US, and con-
template all that that story has of eter-
nal message for US. There seems to be
in some minds an erroneous notion that
it is period during which the people
of the Episcopal churches multiply
their observances and increase their
ceremonies only that they may appear
before men to fast" Such a notion is
held only by the shallow and ignorant
and uniformed. Only by those who
refuse the invitation to come and
see."
Friends and Christian Brethren, l
lovingly, cordially and in the spirit of
Him who bids me speak, extend to each
and every one of my fellow citizens an
invitation to come and worship with as
during this Holy Season of reflection,
and bid you all Welcome in the name
of the Lord" May it so revive US ALL
that we live and work and love and
pray with the mind of Christ"
l beg to subscribe myself,
Your servant for Christ's sake,

NEVADA.

Nevada, a rotten borough"
State, was made a State in 1854,
when it had a population of only
about 10000, mostly mining
camps. President Abraham Lin
coin made it a State, much to his
discredit i'll politics.
The thirteenth amendment,
abol;shing slavery, was pending.
To adopt it required its ratifica-
tion by three-fourths of the States,
and this number, 1t developed,
would be- short one vote. Hence,
he caused this mining camp, with
it's surrounding wilderness, to be
created State, and by the en-
ployment of Big Stick methods
secured the passage of such 8
preposterously unrighteous law
through Congress.
IL fact, Nevada was not then a
State, nor has all the great prog
ress of the country since then made
it really State. Around it the
fovmer Territories have grown into
populous States, while Nevada to-
day has a smaller population than
it had thirty years ago. It's min
ing camps are not as populous as
they we're, and from 60, 266 in 1880
it's population shrank to AZ, 1886 in
! 1900.

LEFT ON NER DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs A. G. Tuson, of Lvermore, Cal,
writes: Il picked up from my door,
step one day little book in which
soon became very much interested
My little girl Of five years of age had
been troubled for a long time with
loss OF appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run
down and in very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensively written, and told Of theenew
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which Is
SO hard for children to take.
Just the thing said I, for my little
daughter and Immediately went for
bottle Of Vinol. 1t helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength, and she does not
take cold half so easily.
Il am extremely grateful for the
good 1t has done her, and l hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by nv
experience and just give Vinol trial"

SIXTEEN MILLIONS FOR FERTIL,
IZERS.

The people of Georgia last year
spent sixteen million dollars for
commercial fertilizers. Think of
it near eight dollars for every
man, woman and child i'll the
State. And the report goes out
that the consumption this year
will be as great as that of last year,
and perhaps greater. Of course,
lands should be fe-tilized, but
when one state spends sixteen mil
lion dollars for commercial fertil-
izers isn't it carrying the matter
too far? Can we stand up under
it? Could not large per cent. of
this fertilizer have been produced
at home2-McDuffie Progress.

What wonders the canal is going
to work when it is opened A
Paris paper predicts that Second
Monte Carlo" will spring up in the
Antilles following the canal open
ing. Maybe Cuba has something
of the sort in mind, wherefore she
is now preparing for it with lot
terry laws and cock-fighting laws.
The wife of congressman who has
just returned from trip to the
canal zone predicts that Panama
city will rival Paris as q fashion
able resort in the course of a few
years. She found the climate per-
feet and the scenery beautiful.
Thus we are TO have little Monte
Carlo at the Atlantic end of the
canal and little Paris at the Pa
cifc end, with goodness knows
what in between.

tottered few yards. Each day
she increased the distance. With
III three months she was walking
ten miles very twenty-four hours
