The Right Kind

Mr.. S. M Repass, who lives near
Shawvers Mills, "takes his foot in
his hand" any old time, and walks
to town and back again, the weather
not considered. He came in day or
two ago, and subscribed for this pa
per and the Southern Planter, drew n
long breath, and hit the road again
for home. He is an allround man
can do almost anything, from grind
ing razor to building house. He
says DR.. Hicks, of Clear Fork is the
greatest doctor in all the country,
and his neighbors the best in the
world. In everything he is an opti-
mist. He talked and laughed about
falling from scaffold and breaking
up a few ribs and other bodily para
phanalia, which laid him on the shelf
as a carpenter, and caused him to
buy little farm and begin to live
the only real life. Good luck, say
we all, to every man, who takes q
cheerful view of life.

the Sanitary Engineering Bureau is
growing rapidly and has fully justi-
fled the wisdom of the State Board of
Health in creating it. In those towns
where financial reasons forbid the i'm

being accomplished by the cooperation
of the individual citizens in improv-

Better Than Last Year

This present month of May is not
half so "mean" as was last MAY,
from an agricultural standpoint. The
editor keeps pretty close tab on the
weather each month, and find entries
like the following for last May
"May 6. Frost last night and
night before"
May 8 Frost last week killed
Irish potatoes and corn in many
places. Rain and east wind for two
days-overcoats and fires everywhere
a necessity"
May 13. "Heavy frost this a. m.
Ground very wet"
May II. "Bad weather-heavy
frost and freeze swept things last
Saturday night. Corn and beans kill
ed. Overcoats and fires.'
May 26. "Slight frost this a. m.
following cold rain for two days"
May 81. "Cold and windy for sew
eral days-overcoats and fires. Crops
and vegetation being ruined. Nothing
can be made unless change comes
soon."
So, you see. We forget. There
will be good crops this year, the same
as last year. May is better this year
than last.
