SECOND YEARS WORK AT THE
IA. p. cHuRcH-D. PERRY AND
FAMILY MOVE TO DALLAS.

Olivet, Sept. lid. Perry moved
his family to Dallas last week on a
farm he has rented there. He Will
also do teaming for the coal company
there. Mr.. Perry has a nice family.
They were good neighbors, with a
friendly greeting and good word for
all. We regretted to see them leave,
and hope to see them do well in their
NV home.
Olivet was well represented in Os-
kaloosa, as some OF our people at
tended the "dOin's" there four days
during the week All report being
we'll pleased with what they saw and
heard.
Miss Ethel Tandy is teaching
school in Marion county. Ethel is one
of our best young ladies'. This is her
first term, but we have no fears but
what she will make good in her new
work and wish her success.
Your correspondent was pleased to
meet Or. James, of Durham, while in
town on Monday. 1t was the second
time we had seen the doctor since
We were both hustling for living at
Swan He has been dealing out cas-
tor oil and pills 10 the good people OF
his locality for over twenty years,
has a large practice there and is do
ing well. He would like awfully we'll
to see Wilson elected for president
this fall, although he admitted times
We're never better. Just why the doc
tor should want change We are in
quandary to know.
/ Charles Warford, of Cedar Rapids.
was in town on business Friday. He
represents WEIGH & Cook, of that
place. Charlie reports business in the
dry goods line never better.
+ Mrs. Agnes Faulkner spent Sunday
in Oskaloosa at the parental Mellow
ell home.
| Rev. r. Wilkinson preached his
first sermon for the second year in
the NJ. P. church Sunday night to a
good audience Now, We want every
body TO throw away their malice and
guile and come out to church this
year and help the preacher In his
work. Simply because one differs
with another in his opinions Is no
reason why one should like TO rule,
nor is il a reason why he chould want
! to ruin. You must remember ii IS
far more easy 10 sail down stream
than it is TO go against the tide. To
be convinced, try it once. Any per
son can go down stream, but il takes
q strong arm 10 go up stream. We
court opposition at times, for ii shows
us just where we are at"
The writer was we'll impressed with
the welLwritten article in the Herald
voices our sentiment to a dot, as we
believe all men employed by rail
road or anything else, where mis- la
Dor Is looking after the interests OF
the public should be courteous in his
dealings with the public by talking
kindly, and should look after their
wants in a way that would show them
|! that their patronage of the road was
appreciated. 1t will not only increase
the business at his station, but add
prestige to the agent as well Even
pleasant look or smile go long
way with the average person, and
they cost nothing. for If there Is
detestible thing on earth, it Is to do
business win a person whose look
would turn sweet milk into clabber In
two minutes. Hence we hope the ar
ticle referred to wifi be read by al.
men whose business brings them daily
before the public, and bear fruit.

day with her son ALI in Harvey.
