COMING AND GOING

Jim Chronister and Casper Ellinger, two of the pioneers of Granite and Otter creeks, were in town this week sizing up the court docket. They are interested in civil case that will be tried this term.
 A considerable Dikeman delegation has visited the city this week, among them being James P. Muiligan, N. C. Co. agent down there, Tom Markuson, who runs cigar store, and Claude My rick, formerly mayor of that town.
 As announced in these pages some time ago, we are long on garden seeds, and if you want them it is just ques- tion of coming after them. Jim Wick ersham sent us a whole sack, and if you are interested in gardening, we have lot of funny things here that you might try.

 The road commission has decided to assist the good people of Flat in clear ing up the debt that still clings to their Otter-creek bridge.

 Financial Troubles

During the course of his examination n a bankruptcy proceeding at Fair banks, Judge Kellum gave some interesting information regarding the Iisposal of the big poke of nearly 6l500O1, which he took from 6-b on Jeary.
 The judge states, says the Fairbanks Times, that be has nothing to show for bis Cleary operations but a home in Fairbanks, two trips Outside and sup port since 1906.
 Of the one-time fortune $70 900 was dropped in the Tenderfoot, $32, ,OOO in payment of a note for Dunbar, and 838, ,000 for which there is nothing to show but note signed by Dunbar.

EVENINGS AT HOME.

I'm sitting in my easy chair, before the frcside's cheerful glare. All modern comforts are at hand; electric lights and music canned; the triumphs that great men have wrought, are gathered in my cozy cot. The neighbor children gather round to hear me drigel and ex- pound about the good old times gone by which 1 arpiaad-I wonder why? l wonder why old men are prone to view the present with q grOan. and talk of vanished years as though they were the smoothest goods below? The children listen while tell of times when everything was well, when girls were angels minus crowns, and men were saints in handmedOwns, and life was one long round of joy. And in my heart I'm conscious that I'm simply talking through my hat. I'd hate to read by smoky lights, and sleep on ticks of straw at nights, and go to bed at six o'clock, because no candles are in stock, and go outdoor to get a drink, and find the cistern on the blink. I'd hate like thunder to be swung, back to the times when was young We lived like horses in those days, and yet, much to my own amaze, I brag and brag in prose and rhymes, about the good old vanished times.-Walt Mason.

Every youth owes himself as thor
ough an education as his means can
afford, says the Emmittsburg Chroni-
Gle. No matter to what calling in
life he may feel himself drawn, an
education is a valuable asset; the high
er the more valuable. There is a de-
mand in every walk of life for young
men who have by their study gained
information and, what is of more
value, the faculty of thinking. The
man with a college education has less
handicaps to overcome in the race for
material things. He is better equip
ped for the struggle that is bound to
come than the other fellow who has
not taken advantage of the opportuni-
ties given him. And what a rare
chance is given those residing in the
vicinity of Annapolis to build such a
foundation that they may feel secure
when thrown upon their own resources.
In nothing are we more blessed than
in the opportunity given for education.
The appreciation of this privilege is
not wanting either, as is evidenced by
the ever-growing list of those who are
now engaged in study at the schools.
public, private and parochial, and
the colleges and seminaries of the
land.

There are many things in which We,
as townspeople, are lacking, and es-
pecially in those things that tend to
make a city pleasing in the eyes of the
stranger within our gates. Annapolis
has no uniform law, or if it has, the
law, like most othe rcity,ordinances,I lis
not enforced, requiring the daily use
of regulation garbage receptacle.
As it is now, any old thing is put out
with garbage, and one may walk
along the sidewalks and see anything
from baby carriage and a baby's
bath tub to tin can. Imagine what
strangers think and say when they see
the varied receptacles for holding
garbage that line the sidewalks at
all hours of the day, for there can be
no regular hours for collection of gar
bage in this city. For our own sake
and the sake of visitors who come to
this town every day in the year, there
should be city ordinance requiring
regulation garbage cans.
