The Gct-Togcther Spirit.

Every town that IS n town has the
get-together spirit. Merchant and
farmer and the people generally work
together for better town, better
living conditions, better amusements
and more personal freedom. Here are
some rules for the gct-togethcrs.
The town and farming community
cannot succeed without cooperation
and mutual assistance.
Farmers should forget the wild
charges of the demogogucs and con-
slider their own interests in relation to
the railroads and better railroad ia
cilities. Legislation against business
interests simply because they are bu-
siness interests is not always best for
the farmer.
Help the people of adjacent towns
to make the towns "alivc." Don't
have the nearest town to you dead
one.
Rural prosperity depends upon the
ease with which shipments are mad.
Railroads don't like the dead towns.
Don't back legislation that will kill
the town.
Farmers should buy from home
dealers. Keep your money in the COM
munity where it adds to the CONNER
cial life of everyone in the town.
Every dollar the farmer puts into
his adjacent town helps him; it adds
to the value of his own holdings
The town merchant should make
the farmer welcome. Keep the things
he wants to buy and sell them at a
price which he is willing to pay.
Make your town so live that people
will want to come there to spcn dthe
weekend. People avoid the dead town
Don't let people tell you that a

Wedding n Widow.
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch

1t is no new thing for President
OF the United States to wed one who
had already made voyage on the
sea of matrimnoy. Some one with n
turn for hunting up statistics finds
that Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison mar
ried widows. Tyler and Roosevelt
were married a second time, but their
wives had not been welded before.
Andrew Jackson never cared much
for fashion set by others, and so he
established his own precedent by lead
ing to the altar divorcce, the for
mer wife of an army officer.
In spite of the warning of the i'm
mortal Tony Weller the Presidents
who married widows were blessed
with happiness. The whole country
hopes that nothing but sunshine may
fall On the pathway of President Will
SON and his bride.

Great quantities of booze continue
to be unloaded at Graham. The trucks
