Love him. Yes. and let him know
That sou love him ere iife's evening

Why should good words ne'er be said
or a friend I'LL he Is dead
II you hear a song that thrills YOU
Sung by any child Of song.
Praise H. DO not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
II you hear n prayer that moves you
BY its humble pleading tone.

Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three" in
prayer
II you see the hot tears falling
From a brother'a weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brothers heart is sad

Through the sunshine on his face,
Share il. 'Tis the wise mans saying
For both grief and JOY place.
There's health and goodness in the

In which an honest laugh has birth.

BY friendly, helping hand.
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.

Falter for word of cheer
Scatter thus our seeds OF kindness,
All enriching as you GO
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed 10 grow.
So, until its happy end.

IT'S THE PROPER THING

An effort will be made to get
Brownfield and Lubbock to buy
the Observation-Disclosures Auto
road and make it a free line as
tourists are beginning to roar
about the Loo that is charged
TO run over it. Terry County
Herald.
It's the proper thing to open
I'd the road. Whether it be the
proper caper to buy the old road
or not, but from what we have
heard il is not right to be COM
PEELED TO pay dollar or even a
quarter to travel over the road
especially in the condition that it
is in. Our informant stated that
the road was not kept in any
thing like good condition. The
gate fees have paid the owner of
the road all the money back that
has ever been expended hence
we do not think there should be
much paid for the road, but we
are heartily in favor of opening
it up for travel. Autoists would
rather go several miles out of the
way than to be held up for a
dollar everytime they want to
pass through especially when the
road is in very poor repair. Let
the people of BrownfeId take
the matter up and determine
what is best and the Avalanche
will fall in line to tell the people
the result Of the investigation.

MERCHANTS AS EDUCATORS

Association says:
The merchant has one of the
highest and most useful callings.
He is a builder and an educator
as well as dealer. As rule he
does more to promote the general
welfare of the community and to
support its public institutions
than any other class of citizens.
Through the columns of the
press the merchant teaches us
how to live economically and
keeps US informed of the progress
of modern business and science
in providing means for our care
and comfort. The merchant is
an indispensable business educa-
tor and he diligently studies our
needs.
A merchant who has no
message for the public is not
keeping abreast of the times.
The prosperous merchant must
create the desire to buy goods
and then supply it.
