Than 1000 Feet peep.

With a hole a little deeper than
1000 feet and the drill still going
down. II was the general opinion Of
those interested In the Bryan deep
well project to continue II possible

so badly needed. II Is the general
opinion that with continued determi-
nation and with the aid Of a little
more money something good will be
the final result.

OF seven. was continued and author
lied to raise the money necessary TO
10 down $500 feet. In the meantime

An Appeal to Reason.

Prohibition will be entirely effect
i've in any state when all the people
have been educated to avoid the
poisonous alcoholic beverages as
they would other forms Of poison.
Tie teaching of this in the schools
will 90 far toward making the boys
who are growing up sober men. ';ut
there can be great aid furnished BY
| Tvs prohibiting and preventing the
s.lse of.alcoholic liquors to the peo-
pie. If boy can grow up away
from drink and drinking compan-
i,ns he will, of course, be sober
boy. We believe in an appeal to
reason
A story was published some years
ago, in which it was told how a
man tried to get rid Of the crows
which were pulling up his young
corn, by feeding them corn which
had been soaked in whiskey, and Of
how they became drunk and help
less, hence were easily killed. One
who read the story doubted it's
truth, and to test it, fed bread,
crumbs soaked in whiskey to some
English sparrows. but they could
not be induced to eat it. Then he
got crow and kept it in custody
untl it was very hungry. Still it
could not be induced to taste the
whiskey soaked grain, but would
eat hungrily that which had not
been doped. Wise bird! Solomon
said, In vain is the net set in the
sight of any bird" But although
man is supposed to be the wlsest of
all creation, he walks deliberately
into the net of intemperance to the
number of $4,000 a year in the
United States. Although starving
bird was too wise to eat whiskey-
soaked food, still men and women
drown out all manhood and woman
hood in strong drink. Anderson

Richly Deserved Promotion,

Some people are inclined to think
that there is nothing in EdgeGeld
Ter young man 10 do-no opening,
no future for him here. A young
man who is energetic and ambitious
can make a way fer himself by seiz
ing and improving the opportunities
as they come his way.About five year
age our young friend r. M. Scurry
the eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
r. Scurry, entered the employment
of the Beaver Dam mill, perform
ing the most nenial duties, for
which he received SO cents per day.
He was fallhful'in the small things
and was gradually promoted from
place to place, each time receiving
increased compensation. DAY he
is the superintendent of the oil mill
and receives 500 per month. AT
the time young Mr.. Scurry began
on so cents per day, doubtless there
were young men standing around
the streets with trousers rolled half
way up to the knees and with their
hair parted in the middle who said
There is nothing iQ Edge6eld for
me to do" They kept on loafing
and probably are out of a job to-day,
while Mr.. Scurry is drawing his
500 per month. The best part of
it il, he is only half way up the lad
der. II he makes the progress. dur
ing the next five years that he has
made in the past five, s2oo-per-
month job will be huRting him, and
it will find him too. The yonng man
who proves faithful in small things
an makes good In large ones will
not have to look for job. The job
seeks him. We extend hearty con-
gratulations to our young friend.
May his success stimulate and en-
courage other young men!
