LIFE's JOURNEY.

For every life there lis a summit.
Happy are they who gain it and sad
the lot of those who farmland fail in
the struggle. Short or long to the top,
it can only be scaled by persistent
climbing. There must be ambition
to do and dare, or the prize will not
be secured.
Have you in the Uigor of youth be-
gun the journey? Already are you
tired and weary? Are you resting by
the way in slothful indulgence, hoping
for wings or sails to bear you aloft
without effort? Long before man
hoods prime you will miss the top
and go down hill. Arouse for another
effort. At the base is the thorn, at
the summit the crown. There is no
escape from the one or the other in
the life journey. Which will you have,
wealth or poverty, comfort or squat
or? Decide in the dew of morngin.
At high noon stand out a. man on
the peak of endeavor, wearing your
own crown.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1910-05-05

have to the name lis from business
standpoint. People residing in Chi
cago and east of there appear to be
only conversant with Grand Rapids,
Michigan Only this morning we re-
eeiyed a letter from Chicago, and
it was addressed, Wood County Re
porter Grand Rapids, Mich This
happens very often and we have the
same trouble with freight and ex-
press. Sentiment" naturally caus-
es us to cling to the old and famil-
lar things. This is at it should be,
excepting when it causes constant
trouble, annoyance and loss. We
favor the changing of the name to
some other if the majority of our
citizens and members of the common
council agree with us, if they do
not, then we will have to be salts
fled. We hope the majority SEN
timent is in favor of a change.
