Evans---Nash.

A very quiet home-wedding took
plnce at the home of the brides pa
rents on Friday evening that was
the elimination Of a little romance
when Cupid sped on lightning wings.
A few months ago Miss Annette,
the fourth daughter Of Capt. and
Mrs. C. C. Nash, entered the santa
rum in Shreveport to prepare 10 be-
come trained nurse and the first
serious case given her was a patient,
Mr.. Robert Evans, who took advan-
tage of his golden convalescence to
promptly fall in love with his pretty
nurse and lay seige to her heart.
This he accomplished so skillfully
that be persuaded her to promise to
become his bride at once, SO she came
home on Thursday and the next day
the marriage was consummated in
the presence of only the immediate
ia Observation-Disclosures Enterprise,
March 9th.

Mr.. c. ID. Hickman, of Boyce, was
in Colfax on Thursday: endeavoring
to sell IA 25-ton ice plant to the citi-
Gems of the town. He represents
Henry Vogt & Co., OF Louisville. KY,
who claim to put up an apparatus
that will make ice with green hand
at the small cost of about 81 ton.
At so cents per 100 pounds this will
give the operators SO ton, or 500
per cent over cost OF production. A
big margin of profit ought to be left
the stockholders in such an euter-
prise, even if hall of this margin is
consumed in delivering to the Gus
toner. We understand that several
of our citizens have signitied their
intention to take stock, and this
most desirable manufacturing enter
prise will very probably be added to
the assets OF the town.

FORGETTING THE PAST.

Because man has failed in achiev-
ing success, or because he has gone
even further and wilfully wrecked the
life that once promised SO much, 1t
does not follow that he can never get
up again. Yet there are men every
where who believe that certain in
cidents in their lives have placed
them beyond redemption and that it
is useless to try and begin over again
Sometimes they become impatient for
the success that seems so far away
and frequently give up just before 1t
comes within their grasp. Repeated
failures seem only to convince them
that they can never hope to accom-
plish anything because of their former
mistakes. and yet the miracle may be
performed when least expected. 1t is
wise to forget the past. whatever it
may have been, and to train ourselves
to live only in the present, says the
Charleston News and Courier Some
times the past projects its shadows
across our path and for time we feel
helpless and think it but natural that
we should move in its gloom. 1t is
possible, however, to leave the shad
ow behind and step out into the sun
shine of the new and untried life
which spreads all about us. No man
can hope to make any headway In his
business career who goes about with
the remembrance OF an unworthy past
hanging like milestone about his
neck. Its weight will bear him down
If he undertakes to begin the new life
with the memory of the old still cling
ing to him.

FOREST OFFICE

We found a. Forest Office at Fox
park the other day when compelled
to uloaf around a while that, while
tied up, to the unreasonable bureau
is really doing forestry work that
may be doing, must be doing good fer
the country Last fall this office at
Foxpark gathered $4,000 lbs of seed
pine cones and are now putting them
through a heating and winnowing
process to get the seed with the
idea Of distributing such seed where
they will do the most good. We
are not here to criticise other rang
ers or other supervisors, but this is
the first instance within our person
al observation where a Forest Of
ficer has been allowed to do his com
munity any practical good along the
line he is labelled to work in We
are going to keep in touch with that
office so long as we can and pub
lish communications of its results
from time to time.

Spain contemplates entering upon
scheme of great public improvements,
with view to providing employment
and thus keeping at home many who
otherwise would emigrate to countries
where work is more readily found.
The plan also contemplates the crea-
tion of facilities that would promote
industrial and agricultural develop
ment. big irrigation plants and the
construction of railway lines being
part of the scheme. All this will be
costlys but Spain has large resources
which may be utilized in the manner
indicated, and the new system may
have beneficial effects. At all events
the movement indicates that there is
progressiveness and public spirit
among the statesmen of Spain.
