Every young man and lad who
idles his time away will regret it too
late in life. What we mean by idl
ing is to waste the years when they
should be attending school. 1t is a
sad sight to see a boy of fourteen
and over refusing to attend school
and growing to manhood in ignorance
of the real necessities of an educa-
ton. In way they believe they
are smart enough for all purposes
of this life, but before life closes
they will realize the mistake they
had made. To be a good citizen
you should have an education. 1t not
only fits you for a better citizen,
yes, great deal better, but lifts you
above the cheap uneducated men.
You want to be somebody and hold a
responsible position; do you expect
to do so when you are in no way
qualified?
"In our town we see every Gay
young men and boys neglecting the
best thing of life an education.
When you once get it it is always
yours. You cannot lose it, neither
can any one steal it. You feel safe
now but when the time comes to enter
the army of bread winners you want
to be able to fight and make good.
Not to stand in on place, going
neither forward or backward; you
want to advance. You will need cul-
tivated brains to do this, and now is
your time, young man. Accept it.
You will always be glad you accepted
the opportunity when offered. Mid

The Railroad Company has seen fit
to change the motive power on the
Smyrna Branch, the short line be-
tween here and Clayton, by taking
off the steam power for the passenger
traffic and substituting in the place
of the train, a gasoline motor car.
There is serious objection and
many protests to the little car
that has been sent to do the service.
The car is mere bit of a toy capable
of seating only % people and with
diminutive baggage department that
two or three good sized trunks would
crowd. If the car were only the size
of regular Pennsylvania coach of a
seating capacity of 60 persons, there
would not be the objections but when
passengers are forced to stand and
submit to the inadequate facilities,
there is sufficient ground for protest
and the Smyrna people should let it be
known to the proper authorities. A
town of 5000 inhabitants is surely
entitled to better service and they
should demand it.
