No More Sunday SLAVES.

The BARRIERS of this city have
made nice move in the way of
lettering the policies of their
business; amove that is worthy
of mention. The move is to here
after not open their shop on
Sunday, and all agreed to the
proposition, so hereafter one must
find time during the working days
to visit the BARRIERS. 1t is our hope
that the BARRIERS will all stick to
this agreement. As it was before
so many waited till Sunday
morning to visit these shops, and
many times the shops were over
crowed and caused many to miss
church.

Raised Very Fine Oats.

There is a bunch of oats at Mr..
Vallee's feed store, which is a
sample of what Mr.. J. S. Ewell
raised OH his farm. This oats was
cut green to be used for feed. Mr..
Ewell had IS acres of this oats and
the crop was fine, and has cut the
bulk of it. He is sorry now that
he had not saved more for seed as
it is the best that has been grown
here for a long time. Mr.. Ewell
wrote to the agricultural depart
ment for information as to where
to buy the best seed, which infor-
nation they furnished him. This
is an example of what benefit the
agricultural department is to those
who appreciate the services of the
department.

A Cure for the Blues.

What! Mopins just because the skies
Are dull and dark, and gray?
Detected, long faced just because
The rain beats down today?
Why bless you, child, 1t doesn't help.
To let the tears drip, too.
Just wipe your eyes and look around
For some good work to do.
There nothing helps when YOU are blue
Like helping set things right,
Kind service fills the darkest day
With sweetness and with light,
And when you're feeling out of sorts
The very wisest plan
Is to find out what others want
And help them all you can.
So look around and study up
Some helpful thing to do;
You'll find that cheering others lives
Will brighten life for yen.
Look up the real unforturates.
And ease their aches and pairs
And while YOU feel you're doing good
You'll never know it rains.
