Most people lead average lives
because they are average men
and women, but there is no reas-
on why the average itself should
not be higher. That can be
brought about not by genius, but
by placing before one a higher
ideal and then striving earnestly
and intelligently to reach that
ideal. Even if the goal is not
quite reached the honest effort
put forth will have its refining
and strengthening effect, not
only on the one making the
effort but on all who come in
contact with that ambitious
person.

Mail Carrier Robbed
James Thomas
Relieved Of $1,000, In Silver.

Monday morning, Marion and
the vicinity here about was
treated to a genuine sensation in
the way of highway robbery like
unto those we have all read about
which occur so frequently in the
wild and woody west. The scene
was on the Salem and Marion
mail route about 8 miles west of
Marion and near the Union Bar
fist Church. James Thomas the
mail carrier was in his hack alone
and the team was jogging along
as usual when at a deep cut in
the road which has woods on each
side, two men sprang from the
left hand side Of the road and
leveling double barrelled shot
guns at his head demanded the
money he had. Thomas at first
demurred to this treatment and
denied having any money but
they claimed to know better and
demanded that he unload, which
he did promptly. While one of
the bandits guarded him the other
searched for the package con-
tanning the money and when he
found it they directed Thomas to
drive on and not look back on
penalty of being exterminated.
Thomas obeyed implicitly, not
stopping, until several houses
had been passed, to telephone
the news of the hold-up to Sher
if Pickens. The robbers wore
common, store false-faces and
white cotton work gloves thus
preventing Thomas from know
ing whether the bandits were
white or colored. Thomas pro-
ceeded to Salem with the mail
and returned here in the after
noon at five o'clock. AS soon
as the robbery was reported here
City Marshall, Canaan, tele-
graphed for bloodhounds and
the Chief of Police and deputy
jailer of Morganfield arrived with
their famous dog King on the
four O. clock train where carriages
were waiting to convey them to
the scene. They were accomp-
