The Useful Citizen.

What town needs is broad, gener-
GUS, unselfish men. Men that won't
lie in bed when their neighbours prop
erty is burning. Men that are above
petty spites. Men who are always
wiling to sacrifice little for the
publie veal and needs. Men that are
pusheI.s and not afraid to crush out
the knockers. Men that feel pride
in their homes and town, and men
that are willing to take a place in
leadership whenever and wherever
their services will avail. 1t is an in
teresting thing to build up a new
country, and we can't understand how
any citizen of such country can hold
back. Every tree planted, every fur
row turned, and every house built
should be a satisfaction commensur-
ate with the effort A knocker in a
community is on a parity with liber-
tine in society, dishonest man in
business and a hypacrite in the
church. Be none of these. Be man.

VENUS PERFORMS
QUEER TRICKS

Washington, Oct. 19.-During the
next three days, according to Wash
ington astronomers, Venus will reach
its period of greatest brilliancy and
observers may expect the planet to
perform strange tricks, such as great
ly alarmed the people of various sec
tons of the United States on July "a,
last. Today Venus was visible to the
naked eye at $40 this morning, Wash
ington time, and could be plainly seen
by observers in all sections Of the
country where the sky was not OBJ
scured by clouds. 1t will become in
creasingly brilliant until Sunday next
when it's greatest brilliancy will be
reached. It's position is SO degrees
from the southern horizon. Whether
it can be plainly observed without
glasses or not, of course, depends
upon the sky. A gray or hazy sky CON
siderably dims its appearance, but in
clear sky it will shine with great
splendor.
Venus has been responsible for
many strange phenomenon. At Du-
range, Colo, on July "a, last, the citi-
zens were startled by what seemed
to be body of fire as large as the
moon, oblong in shape and pointed at
the top, which appeared soon after
twilight. AS darkness fell it grew
brighter and brighter, and many
thought the world was coming to an
end. Some of the ranchers in the
vicinity of Durango thought it was a
comet or wandering planet approach
ing the earth and gathered their fam
lilies about them to wait for the COM

Recent statistics show a startling
increase in the number of horses
slaughtered for food in Paris. The
Parisians used to be burlesqued as
frogeaters, but they are getting to be
omniverous. But why not? st. Paul
said, There is nothing unclean Of it
self; but to him that esteemeth any
thing to be unclean, to him it is I'M
clean" This philosophic opinion was
expressed in the Latin proverb, de
gustibus non disputandum, and by the
old woman when she kissed the COW.

GOOD ROADS AT LITTLE COST.

Now a macadam road is the road
that should be built wherever there is
a heavy travel and a populous and
prosperous community, but to suppose
that it is the only good road, or that
matchmaking the roads is the only
way to improve them, is decisions
pure and simple.
Sand and clay are available all over
the South, and when a community can
combine them, and by the use of the
grader and the drag make a good
road and keep it good, there is no
reason why it should be content to
wallow in mudholes and bump over
chugs and ruts every time n load of
produce is taken to town.
Even where the sand-clay construc-
ton is not practicable at once, the
split-log drag judiciously used would
do wonders, and it would be but a
little job for most farmers to make
these drags and to keep the roads in
