Mr.. Edward J. Hamill, cashier of the
First National Bank, is in ClarksDurg,
W. Va, a few days on pleasure and
business.
Our high school has closed after a
very successful term and we look for
ward for the return of Prof. Zeil. by
name and ZEAL by nature, this fall, to
reopen and push forward this noble
cause.
Business is somewhat slow but we
are looking forward for better times
For these times we do not know whom
to blame.
Politics are very quiet hereabouts,
notwithstanding we have three candi
dates in our midst.
The citizens are arranging to have a
good road day in the near future.
The city is the Gibralter of civiliza-
ton 1t is mixture of the best and
the worst of things in the world 1t is
the greatest success and the greatest
failure. 1t is the greatest battle ground
between the good and the bad, between
light and darkness, ignorance and wis
dom, cleanliness and dirt, righteousness
and crime.
About its three great functions of
production, distribution and personal
service, are gather ed the most of the
activities of modern society. About the
first gather the farmers, the carpen-
tiers, the masons, the painters, ma
chinists, factory men and day laborers
About the second gather the merchants
railway men, street car men, livery
men, post men and express men.
About the function of personal service
gather the teachers, preachers, doctors,
lawyers, dentists, policemen, firemen,
undertakes, grave diggers and many
others. Among all these gather the
gamblers, the derelicts, the harlots and
the parasites who suck living from
the life blood of the city and return for
it nothing but destruction and death.
The chief difference between the city
and the town is one of size. The prob
lens and needs are the same in the town
except they are not so great.
The town is more important than any
private enterprise in 1t. If the town
does not succeed the people who live in
it cannot succeed as they ought.
What every town needs is a greater
spirit of cooperation, more people who
will unite to make their town a success.
Every town needs leaders. If the peo-
pie of visions and aggressive spirit
could see this and would throw aside
their timidity, load up with patience
and go to work to develop the latent
powers of leadership within them they
would do great thing for their town
and would get greater benefit to
themselves.
Our live wires, THE Booster Boys"
have guaranteed the coming to our
town Booster Chautauqua. This will
afford fine opportunity for the people
of this community to get toge Their and
demonstrate that they can unite on
work of community uplift, and if the
stronger men of our community who
are occupying positions of leadership in
smaller groups, such as schools, church
es and lodges, will arise and unite with
our strong and capable business men
and professional men to make this
Chautauqua the success it ought to be,
it will advance our town and community
more in three days than it will be ad-
vanced in three years without such an
effort.
Let US awake, unite and do this very
thing. There is nothing that will pay
US so well as getting together and work
ing together for higher and better
things.
We read with pride the sparks from
the live wires who our boosting our
county in every way. Let US all join
the boosting dub, ana stop being knock
ers.
