If you know or hear of an inter
esting item in the community, make
| it point to see that it finds a place
in your local paper We should much
appreciate your effort and will send
our reporter to ascertain or verify
any lacking points. Anything which
tends to better or brighten the news
service of a paper makes it of so
much value to the community, and
the subscribers are the ones most
ly benefited thereby.
| Did you ever stop to reflect that it
was one thing to talk about people
and another thing to have people talk
about you? If those of us who use
our tongues a little too freely, about
our neighbors, would stop and re-
fleet about this matter and know
the great evil that comes from too
much gossip and tattling, we are sure
we would call a halt and gossip
no more forever.

Our town has never enjoyed such
trade as it has during the past
few weeks, and every day it is in
creasing. The fact of the matter is
our business men have got right down

cheaper than they can be bought
in any town of this size in the state,
and the people are fast finding it
out and are coming here from ad
joining counties to do their heavy
trading.
An unoccupied man cannot be
| happy-nor can one who is improper
| ly occupied. We have swarms of
idlers among us, that is men who
pursue no useful occupation, and
sponge their way, often enjoying the
| luxuries of life, living upon the hard
| earnings of others. In this grand
and glorious country no one need
to be without an honorable occupa-
| tion
