May Start Furnace

IL is claimed by persons hav-
ing large interests in the Gra-
ham Iron Furnace that a move
ment is now on foot 90 start up
she furnace within the next few
months. We are informed that
il is the intention Of the owners
Of the furnace 20 have il In

There seems 60 be a good
foundation for the report when
il is considered that the work
will be completed in September
on the Potts Greek extension Of
the Norfolk and Western and
will pass through Giles county,
Va, then into Monroe county.
W. Va, and then into Craig
county, Va, and will penetrate
the iron deposits Of Monroe and
Craig counties, which arc con-
sidered the richest in the coun-
try. This territory viii be in

GOOD INTENTIONS.

Good intentions are seldom
negotiable for cash. Ask the
lazy schoolboy why he doesn't
study and advance with his
class, He will tell you that he
intends to-sometime-but he
never does. Ask any improvi-
dent man or woman Why they
don't save and lay up some
thing for a rainy day. They
Will tell you that they intend tc
-sometime-but they never do
ASK any slow, unprogressivt
business man why he doesn'
discard his old antiquated ways
OF doing business and adop
new, up-to-date, progressive
methods of sales and advertis
ing. All such will tell you tha
tney intend to next week, o
next month, or next year--bu
they never DO. Cover Chat.

Observations Of the
SKY PILOT,

Be optimistic and work for
the besr.
Principle is thicker than
blood even if "blood is thicker
than water
You can't hate your brother
and az the same time boast of
being good Children.
Don't let matters OF opinion
creep into matters of faith and
be little and narrow your infiu-
euce.
Every reform has three ele-
ments in it. the two extremes,
and the common sense middle
ground
Christ's commands are not tc
be trifled with He expects us
60 put a high value on them.
Just the same the booster
and not the "kn0cker" is tn,

Push and progress are twin
/ brothers, feed them we'll an,
they will be energetic factors il
