Country-Bred Bows Win.

Fully so per cent. of all the famous
Americans have been country bred
and all Of them acknowledge their
fame and success due to the founda-
lions they laid as boys on the old
farmstead. There are one hundred
country youths who succeed and make
their mark in the world to one city
born and city-bred. For every coun-
try boy who fails in the race of life
more than a thousand failures can be
laid to the city.

Far instance, there are the waters of the Red river which swarm with the germs of Jehersonian democracy; there is the silver-to1ed voice of Morris sheppard, whose ora torical charms have power to make a democrat of any dissenter: nearby are lowlands of three great democrat ic states from which mosquitoes fly, and. once they ST ng. the one stung must ever be a democrat.

A CONVENTION CITY

sOne of my ideas is to make of Douglas the convention city oft Ari- zoBa," said Secretary NcNair Of the chamber of commerce.. th's morning, ~and following out that idea ] shall ask the local delegates to the grand lodge meeting of the Arizona Odd Fellows to make an effort to have the Bexf grand lodge assemble here. That's a big body of representative citizens of the territory and Douglas is just the place they should come to. The local branches Of Odd Feh iowsnip are suffciently strong, l am sure, to take care of the grand lodge with great credit to themselves, and the hotel we have here should be considered as a favorable factor"
 The matter of asking the Odd Eel lows to hold their next grand lodge sess'on here has been taken up with A. A. Ferguson, who Is one of the grand officers, and if conditions are favorable the claims of Douglas prob ably win be presented at the Tucson meeting

of the State of Georgia who rides
astride will become a felon, if the
bill introduced in the House today

county, becomes a law.
The statesman from Stuart never
saw woman ride astride until he
came to Atlanta. He was shocked
and Mortified by the sight Of a pretty
girl in divided skirts whirling along
on the back Of a mettlesome horse.
So he HE'D him to his chambers and
prepared his bill.
The bill provides, however, that it
shall not be construed 'to prohibit
the astride of any femal- circus per-
former within a tent or other en-
closure.
The measure carries a fine Of from
ten to one hundred dollars or impris-
onment.

Death OF Little SilaS MiZZell.


After an illness of one week with
diptheria little Silas, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. E. Mizzell, died at their
home near Hobgood, Monday, July
10Th, 1909, at II O'Clock a. M, aged
three years and ten months. His
illness was serious from the first.
Silas was a sweet child and loved
by all who knew him. Father and
mother were constantly by the child
and they bestowed every care that
fond and achinghearts could prompt.
One Of the sweetest joys Of their
home has faded out forever but the
joy of the happy reunion in the bles-
sed beyond bye and bye will more
than compensate for the bitter tears
of the heart broken mother and the
deep spirit groans of the fond father.
A precious one from us has gone,
voice we loved is still, place is
vacant in our home which never can
be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
the boom, his love has given and
though the body slumbers here his
soul is at rest in Heaven.

story Of the season and vouch for it's
authenticity. They do not brag
about the size of the catch nor even
of the struggles with a giant levia-
than, but relate the tale Of a fish
which went a-traveling.
"This fish proved himself the cham
pion jumper of the sound.
Meal said that while the mail train
bound for Kinston was crossing the
Beaufort Morehead bridge a few
days ago he saw a fish jump out of
the water and rising about Is feet in
the air, land in the tender of the en-

and found it to be a hogfish.

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.

One of the problems of the
Goth century is the building
Of good roads. We copy the
following sermon on this sub
iect from the Manufacturers
Record and hope that our read
ers will take it to heart and get
to work for better roads. The
Record says:
The man who is working
for the building Of good roads
is directly working for the adj
yancement of education and re-
ligion and for all that makes
for the highest civilization. OF
what use are schools and
churches in country districts if
for five or six months of the
year country roads are SO i'm
passible that they cannot be at
tended: OF what use to the
grower are the products of the
farms which can only reach the
market at a cost of transporter
ton by wagon which elimi-
mates all profit? The charm Of
country, the beauty of nature
are pictured as reasons why
farm life should appeal to the
people, but when farm life
means drudgery and separation
from friends by reason of bad
roads, it is not to be wondered
at that the people of agricul-
tural districts, young and old,
crowd the cities in order to get
a place where modern conven-
fences and modern comforts of
daily travel are available. The
construction of good roads will
change this. 1t will add a
thousandfold to the charms of
country life. 1t will increase
the prosperity of the farmers.
1t will be the most powerful
factor in stemming the move
ment Of population towards the
city and making the country
boy and girl happy at home.
The gospel of good roads ought
to be preached with the zeal of
the missionary land the farmer
the merchant, the manufacture
er and the banker, and above
all else, the women of the
country districts ought to be
incessant workers for the build
ing Of good roads. Let us not
leave unto future generations
that which we should do to.

LIVE AT HOME.

If our farmers ever become
independent they must raise
their corn, -four, meat, lard @,
hay, ETC., at home. Just so
long as we keep our smoke
house and corn crib in the West
or some other section of the
country we need not expect
anything else but to be poor
and complain Of hard times and
say that it is impossible to make
money at farming,
In this day with labor so in
different and hard to control,
it is impossible to make money
from the raising of cotton, to-
bacco and peanuts to the ex-
clusiOn of the acutual necessi-
ties of the home. We raise ou1
cotton, tobacco and peanuts
and then spend the money we
get for these so-called market
crops for Western hay, West
ern flour, Western bacon, West
ern most everything else. This
is enriching another section
and making ours poorer every
year. We know all these things
are true and it is to be hoped
that our farmers will begin
right now to make their plans
for next year to raise home
supplies. 1t can be done, so dc
it.
