Occasionally you run across fell
low who imagines that his lodge pin
viii carry him through this vale
OF tears without any trouble and
finally land him on the evergreen
shores with all charges paid.

al presidents and numerous great
men, but in NO instance did / run
across sentence this: "E1e was the
pride OF the town because he was q
swell whistler"
When / look out on the street
and see a man or woman stagger-
ing by under the weight Of their
cross feel for them. 1t is dead
easy to smile when things are COM
ing your way and roses are bloom
ing in your pathway. Anybody can
be sport with a pocketfu1 Of money
and no creditors bounding you. 1t
is snap to smile and laugh and go
about witha song on your lips when
things are coming your way and the
other fellow Is sweeping back the
waves Of brief. But when the clouds
begin to gather, and the cold rain
beats against your face. and old time
friends forget to speak to you, and
the weight of the cross begins to |
cause dull pain to gather under
the breastbone-then, my friend, let |
me tell you. 1t takes the real article
to buffet the pillows and smile as
the foam dashes high. But know
some who are doing it. They are
not putting on a parade about it,
either, and the day will come when
the clouds will break and the waves
run low and the cross slip from the
tired sholders-then you want to
gather round and look upon a real
sport. You are only a counterfeit.

The New Public Building.

The appropriation of S., 600 for the
purchase of site for a public build
ing for the use of the Post Office and
Forestry Department in Woodstock
passed both houses of Congress and
was approved by the President.
The Treasury Department has dis
triDuted in Woodstock number of
circulars explaining what the Govern
ment wants and how bids of owners
of property should be made. An adj
vertisement in the Shenandoah HER
AID announces the time at which
bidding will be closed.
Afterwards and agent of the Treas
ury Department will make personal
examination Of the site proposed to
be sold to the government. After the
site is secured, plans for public build
ings are taken up in the order in
which the titles to the sites therefor
are We sted in the United States and
The contracts for their construction
are let at as early date as practi-
cable.
From the fact that the Office of the
Forestry department is too small and
it is difficult to procure a more suit
able office, it is possible that the gov
eminent may be disposed to erect the
the new building as soon as possible.

doctors pronounced it local disease

constantly failing to cure with local

constitutional treatment. Hall S

TOWN HALL
Mr.. EDIToR:-

read with the great
lest pleasure that Woodstock is tt
| have new Post Office building.
feel like returning my sincere thanks
to our Congressman who has thus
given evidence of his interest In our
!old town. We, indeed, need a new
Post Office and we need a town hall
much more. Why can't.we have it?
1t is true. we have no Charley Rouss
or Handley to adorn our town with
beautiful buildings, but that is no
reason why we should not be pro-
gressive and keep up with the times.
The Fire Company purchased and
paid for the lot and with the as
sistance of the ladies have laid an
excellent concrete foundation, and
there the work has stopped. Why
cannot the ladies of Woodstock
unite and help to secure sufficient
funds to complete the buildings? All
over the Sunny South beautiful and
costly monuments in honor of our
heroes have been erected. Who did
it? The ladies of an impoverished
land.
Why cannot the ladies OF Wood
stock determine that the Town Hall
shall be completed? Let US get to
work. We cen, 1 am sure, raise a
considerable amount by private SUBJ
scription. We can sell egg, we can
give entertainments, we can hold
bazaars, we fcan sell ice cream in
Summer and oysters iu Winter. Let
US get together and start the work.
All we want is one or two leaders. II
am ambitious to be a worker, AMI
pledge my best efforts in behalf of the
good cause. Who will join me? Let
US show the men that whether they
give us suffrage or not, we can do
what they fail to do. Will not the
ladies of the town prove that the lords
Of creation are not superior to the
weaker sex? We can do it, now will
we do it?
A w OMAN WHO WANTS A GOOD HALL.

Woodstock is rejoicing over the
prospect of new Post Office building
which will not only be an ornament
to the town, but will convince the
many tourists who love to use our ex-
cellent macadamized road that it is
one Of the progressive towns OF the
State. For this Improvement we are
endebted to our Congressman, Hon.
James Hay, and to Senator Claude
Swanson who offered the anoendament
in the Senate. These gentleman we
are sure will see that the building ls
erected in the shortest possible time.
Everybody wants the most central
location, and most mean by the
most central location" the location
nearest their residence. Wherever ii
is located, it will be al ornament to
the town.

A CHRONIC KICKER.

For some time the Shenandoah
HERALD has been termed a chronic
kicker. Weplead guilty to the charge.
1t has been kicking for nearly a
century. 1t kicked against muddy
sidewalks until the sidewalks were
paved. It kicked against dangerous
offsets in the pavements until they
we're removed. It kicked against the
sun heated streets until the town was
adorned with beautiful shade trees.
1t kicked against the dark streets and
alleys until the same were we'll light
ed. It kicked against using polluted
water from wells that had not
been cleaned for forty five years and
it continued to kick until the town was
supplied with pure mountain water.
1t kicked against discriminating
ano illegal license which imposed a
tax upon one or two manufactures
while all others Of the same class
were exempt, until the illegal and dis
eliminating tax was removed.
1t kicked against locating school
building along side Of the railroad
where the classes of pupils are con-
tinually disturbed by shifting trains
and where it is necessary to use great
precaution to save small children
from injary or death.
These and q few other matters OF
like import have been kicked by the
Shenandoah HERALD, but when i'm
provements for the benefit of the citi-
zens are suggested, the HERALD is
ever ready to bear its portion of the
burden, or if necessary lead in the
contest.
The HERALD has been urged to kick
on other subjects Of interest to the
town; but so far has not even made
mild protest. 1t has endeavored to
avoid kicking On tender spots.
Did you ever see the kicking all on
one side? The HERALD has been kick
ed, over and over again, by parties
who opposed Improvements or who
were not in favor of fair deal to all.
The HERALD has not whined or
complained about the kicks SO gra-
tuitously bestowed upon it. 1t has
continued on in the even tenor of its
way for over ninety-fve years, and it
still proposes to pursue an indepen-
dent course, condemning the wrong
and commanding the right.

CENTENARY OF
DAVID Livingstone
To be Celebrated in Woodstock.
DR.. ". S. HAMMOND to Make
Principal Address.

David Livingstone was born a
Blantyre. Scotland. on the 10th u
March, 1913. The hundreth ami.
versary of his birth will, therefore,
fall on Wednesday. the 10th of March,
1913. The churches of the various
denominations throughout the English
speaking world are Selling the op-
portunity to bring to bear on present
day heart and conscience this example
OF hei ole sacrifice and devotion.
c. Sylvester Horne, a member of
the British parliament and author
OF the most recent Life of Livingstone,
says "We celebrate his fame for
many reasons. 1t is good in these
days OF wasting luxury to emphasize
the noble product of simple, poor
and pious home, where there were
more sacrifices than shillings, and
where an education had to be fought
for and saved for. 1t is worth re-
Wondering that no home life and no
home training can ever be narrow
where the vision includes God and
humanity, and where the governing
ideals are of sacrifice and service;
not for one land only, but for the
World"
Another earnest student of his Life
says, Livingstone has gripped the
world strangely. There is nothing
quite like it in modern life. A mat
ter-of-fact business man was speaking
about this the other day. lie told
how he was wandering about West
minister Abbey, and how disappoint-
ed he was to find that no thrill came
to him as he passed from tomb to
tomb. Great names-kings, queens,
poets, philosophers, statesmen-on
every side, yet no more impression
than if he were turning the pages of
an encyclopedia. But as he sauntered
through the nave his eyes fell upon
the slab bearing the famous inscrip-
ton:
BROUGHT BY FAITHFUL HANDS
OVER LAND AND SEA
HERE RESTS
DAVID LIVINGSTONE
Missionary, Traveller, PhiIanthropist.
No need to give the rest. How many
OF US have stood chained to that spot,
reading every word with moist eyes
and throbbing hearts 1t was so
with this plain man. He said it was
the only thing in the Abbey which
moved him, and this moved him pro-
foundly. He had never read tine life
OF Livingstone. He knew very little
OF his career. He was not in sym
pathy with missions. Yet he stood
awestruck at the tomb of David
i"
1t is safe to say that in all the
range of modern biographies, there
is none more stimulating and thrilling
than that OF Livingstone. The cente-
nary celebration of his birth will be
held in the Presbyterian Church,
Woodstock, on Wednesday, March
10Th, at 1870 P. M. The Rev. w. S.
Hammond, D. D., of the Methodist
will make the principal ad-
