whom you want to entruSt larger
things. Anything that is worth doing
at all it is worth doing Veil. You re-
member that it is recorded somewhere
in that great and good Book some
thing abotu the talents and what was
said to the man who was given only
two talents and had gained two other
talents. His lord said unto him, well
done, good and faithful servant; thou
hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many
things; enter thou into the Joy Of thy
lord" SaMH
81 think I have tried to do my duty
A noble sentiment to sound out the
life of any one. How many who read
these lines will be able to pass into
the great beyond with such a senti-
ment dropping from their lips. + be-
lieve it was the great Confederate
commander, Robert E. Lee. who said
the right Interpretation of the word
duty made it the greatest word in the
English language. But somebody will
be accusing me of preaching a poor
sermon the next thing I know. I
wish I could burn 8tinto the life and
heart and soul of every one who
reads this sermon, the Importance and
the happiness, Of being able to say
t%ruthfully, Il have done my duty"
MY duty to my fellowman and to my
God and necessarily to myself"
Wouldn't this be a great old world and
wouldn't there be brighter prospects

I believe in the automobile and I
there will be many more in New
berry, because they are road builders
and road building is country building,
and if I had the money I would buy
one of the things myself, and as I
haven't got the money, I would go to
ride with some of these fellows who
have them if they would insinuate
properly: I say some advisediy. The
way some of them turn corners IN
these narrow streets I am expecting
to see some Of these corner stores
think they have been ,sWished by a
stray tail of Halley's comet, aud not
such a small tail either. A man buys
a car, and he is taken out one after
noon and, presto, he is an expert drig-

the road to Kinards. It would be
worth a great deal to Newberry to
have a good road for these touring
cars to run over. And then if we
could just get a hotel in the pines on
the road from Newberry to Helena

way and stop for a few days and spend
heir money with us. By the way, did
know this is one of the prettiest
pine groves anywhere in this section
Ind I would hate to see it turned into
cord wood. 1t would be a nice place
or an automobile club house. Think
If it.
l went out towards the depot the
other day and you know they still
nave those old partly burned build

'ustic bungalows for the park if they
could only be transplanted. They

l heard some gentlemen talking the
