There is a movement on foot to
petition the County Court to call a
special election to submit to the vot-
ers of the county the question of local
option. The county unit law enacted
by the Legislature having been sus-
pended by the invocation of the refer
endum until it may be passed upon by
the people at the next general cleo
ton, Pennington, having population
of more than $500, would have to
vote separately, if it voted at all on
the question at this time. 1t is the
only incorporated town in the county
with population of $500 or more.
So, if the county should go "dryy"
which it probably would-for it has
twicefdone 80 voting as unit, but the
temperance peoples victories were
knocked ont by the courts on tech
nicalities and the temperance people
of our town shonld elect MOTTO petition
for local option election, or electing
to do so and failing to carry the town
"dry,n which many fear would be the
result, Pennington would be the one
spot in the county upon which every
man who wanted to engage in the
liquor business would have his eye
and saloons in the town would multi
ply Pennington Times.

Kirby Smith holds an official position

ly only resigned because there was no
more money in sight to pay salaries.
The legislature paid a deficit for Toll

Steal clusters of mem'ry, like the

Stars shone SO bright DER that log

Its blue sky, scented wales, it's wild

With rapt meditations oft my soul

There the dove, and the lark, and the
nightingale queen,
Sang forth their love carols and made
charming the scene.

The optonist.

A wise old guy is Farmer Rrown,
much wiser than a lot of men. He
says, when Fortune pulls a frown,
"Wall, 'tain't SO bad as might have
BEEN" He sees some good in every
thing, no matter if it seems curse;
he springs a sheepish sort of grin and
says, "I'm glad it amt no worse"
One year his crops were finest sort;
he had both grain and fruit galore; alasl
the prices came up short; he found no
market for his store. But Brown
showed naught of discomfort, quiet
even -tenored trod his way, of trouble
never gave hint; "I'll feed it to the
stock" he'd say.
Another time the crops all failed;
no corn, nor wheat, nor cen a spud;
no chance for ear ming any kale and
hard to even corner grub. Friend
Brown wept not nor tore his hair;
says he, stI'm glad I'm out o. debit it's
tough, but then l won't despair, |
guess we've goGpersimmons yet"
One day cyclone came along and
took his home by accident. Says
Brown, and hummed little song,
'sBeen hankerin' fer tent" The hired
man took his wife and left, and never
even said goodbye. We thoughr that
Brown when thus bereft, would surely
pine away and die.
But not 30, Brown. He scratched
his head and soon smile his face ex-
pands. Said he, ''I really was afraid
he'd go and leave her on my hands" /"
He plods along from day to day, con-
tent with fortune good or ill; his head
is neither bald nor gray; he worries
not, nor ever will.
He wouldn't give rusty dime for
worldly honors, high or low; his
duties take up all his time, no leisure
left for grief or woe. A happy man
is Farmer Brown, no Joy of life he's
ever missed; he never feels he's out
and down, because he is an optomist.

and even the executive, Gov. Had
ley's department, had to give the
Legislature the grand hailing sign of
distress to the tune Of a 81, ,44O deficit.
And thus it goes-the Republicans
spent all of the available cash and
left the payment of the bills for
printing their 1911 10 reports, etc., to
be paid by their Democratic success
sors. It's Republican way to gut
the treasury and pile up debts; it's a
Democratic way to save money and
pay off debts.
