Which'is the better, to spend this
dime per day for cigarettes, beer, or
other worse than useless things and
late in life be a candidate for the
poor-house, or to save it and be in
dependent? The poet Burns expresses
his idea of independence in the fol-
lowing lines addressed to a young
friend. They may we'll be commit
ted tomemory by every boy and girl:
"To catch dame Fortunes golden smile,
Assiduous wait upon her;
And gather gear by ev'ry vile
That's justified by honor;
Not for to hide it in hedge.
Nor for train attendant;
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent"

THos. CROOK TO MAKE GOOD ROAD

Thos. Crook, who now owns and
farms the Old Colbert place south OF
town, and who recently bought a huge
gang plow and a traction engine with
which to operate II, is going to set the
pace for the road makers, by making
a good dirt road from his place clear
into the city limits g distance of two
miles. MIR. Crook will use two large
road graders and will pull them with
his traction engine He asks no pay
from any body, but is doing this work
for the benefit of people living on that
road to enable them to get to town
easier, and for the second reason OF
setting pace for the road builders
and an example for other farmers. All
Mr.. Crook asks is that the Chamber
OF Commerce furnish the road graders
without cost to him. and the county
commissioners have agreed to allow
him use Of two county graders.

business man in Durant will be ex-
Tected to close his place OF business

On that date there will be a Sec
tion boss in charge of every five

Grafton. and there is little doubt but
that with the enthusiasm that has
been shown. If the men all turn out

be built that day. There is no reason
why every farmer whose place this
