Building for the Future.

That the man who thinks more of
prosperity than he does of posterity
is worth little to his community was
the clinching argument presented by
Thomas Brooks Fletcher in his lee
ture Friday afternoon in which he
spoke of the immeasurable benefits
that come to the people from a
Chautauqua. Building factories, ex-
tending trade, increasing the pro-
duction of the soil-making money
lis not the summum bonum of life.
Those things are but hobbies, safety
valves for surplus energy, to the
men and women who have visions,
high ideals of citizenship. Material
prosperity is essential to the speedy
accomplishment of the higher things
of life and therefore must be count
ed in the estimate of community's
development, but money making for
the mere sake of increasing bank
deposits and extending ones fence
line is vanity and brutality. To be

To build Gravel Road;
No Cost to County

At a meeting of the Fiscal Court
last Friday afternoon a proposition
was made by S. L. Dodds and other
residents on State Line road to pay
half the cost of building grave
road from Hickman some three OF
four miles out, if the county would
take advantage of State aid and get
the other half the money from the
State.
Fulton County is entitled to draw
$5,S15 from the State aid road fund
this year; hence, the piece of gravel
road will not cost the county a red
cent; even the engineer to oversee
the work will be furnished by the
federal authorities at Washington.
The county officials. would do we'll to
contract the whole county on this
basis. Of course, as matter of
business, the public spirited citizens
who offer to bear one-half the cost,
will be asked to execute bond to
carry out their part of the contract.
Under this arrangement Fulton
County will get her $4,000, which
otherwise would have remained in
the fund to have been apportioned
among the other counties in the
State next year. The Fiscal Court
did not feel financially able this
year to make the expenditures neces-
sary to procure this fund.
Let the good work go on. AS long
as the road improvement is done by
private donation and State aid no
grouchy taxpayer will have kick
coming; he list can't" On the
contrary, it will be giving gravel
roads a start in Fulton County,
which in time will spread all over it.
The work mentioned above will
probably begin some time in July or
possibly August-Hickman Courier.

County. Why can't we do the same
thing from this end of the line and
meet the people of Hickman as far
as wecan, and then why can't we on
the same basis build road to Gibbs.
We can do it if we want to. That
is all it takes-a desire to do so. We
have the money.
We understand some parties are
ready to place freight and passenger
trucks on the road if we build to
Gibbs. We need the |. G.. r. r.
transportation, and it wont be hard
to get it. With a good road it will
be ours. The State aid and private
subscription won't cost the taxpay-
ers a cent. Will some one start the
movement?

Gently passed. makes provisions to
furnish the money for half the road
improvements. Our citizens can get
the other half by subscription if on

A Morning in June.

Maggie and l walked out togethe
In the fine, bright summer weather
Early in a morn of June,
Thru the fresh and dewy meadow
Sweet with many a fragran
bloom.
Dewdrops on the grass and vine
Bowed to touch her ankle fine;
Breezes seemed to think it bliss
Just to lift her auburn hair,
Just to pause and press a kiss
On her cheeks so fair.
AS we strolled, around our feet
Bees were singing low and sweet
In the clover blossoms there;
Larks their mathis did repeat,
Springing high into the air.
Frightened by our rambling walk,
By our laughter and our talk,
Leaped the rabbit from his den,
Heller SHELTER way he flew;
Fluttered up the little wren,
Scattering wide the dew.
And the hooking bird her song
Lent to cheer our steps along;
From his perch upon the fence,
Bobwhite called out shrill and long
With an earnestness intense;
Brooklets, leaping at the sun,
Uttered as if drunk with fun;
Kawed the crow from the old tree,
Where the woodchuck knocked q
tune;
Sheep bells round were tinkling free
On that morn in June.
High o'erhead hawk screamed out
AS she spun her wheel about
While from DER the nearby hill
Came the farm boys merry shout,
Came his whistle, wild and shrill
And from out the deep green wood
Poured the music in a flood,
Poured from many joyous bird;
Little cartridges round our feet,
AS our mirthful talk they heard,
Beat swift retreat.
beheld Magg's eyes were bright
With a deep and tender light,
And her face, though always fair,
Caught new beauty from delight,
AS we walked that meadow there.
Why did | forbear to tell,
Then and there, loved her we'll;
For amid the lovely scene,
AS we strolled thru grass bloom,
All my soul toward her did lean,
On that morn in June!
Oh, that lovely scenes might stay!
Oh, that joys might not decay!
Oh, that friends might never part
Thru life's brief and troubled day!
Oh, that love could ever impart
It's blest charm, nor lose the one
Whom its wealth is lavished on!
Were it wrong to wish that youth
Might not know the common
doom,
And that all our life, in truth,
Were morn in June?

 All children" she continued, "are possessed of the most inquiring minds and 1T they are properly stimulated and their imaginations set to work, infinite possibilities for amusement and instruc- tion are afforded by visit to the mar ket.

Japanese Proverbs

from the WaSnlnBtOn Star.
 It has been said that the Japanese are as apt and unique in their proverbs as they are in their works of art What, fer example, could be more appropriate to men in certain desperate instances than this: Man may shout when he can no longer swim?" While the tongue works the brain sleeps" is another say ing of the Japanese, which expresses their contempt for loquacious persons.
 The Japanese are quick at repartee: their wit is keen and tempered, and they can often administrer a perfect snub in brief, terse form. In illustration of this there may be cited the following in- stance:
 There was being tried in court a cnse involving the possession and ownership of piece of property The litigants were brothers. The holder, who was clearly not the rightful owner, has assaulted and elected his brother and was protesting his right to defend his claim.
 The examining magistrate listened very patiently to him until he closed with the words, Even a cur may bark at his own gate Then the judge quaintly voiced the judgment, as if stating an abstract point of law-"A dog that has no gate bites at his own risk.'
