IL Memory Of
My Grandmot;i Y

Mrs Jane Nicholas Was Il dear
friend to ne and especially in my
boyhood DAYS. She gave me many
good examples and always advised
me right. | think | obeyed her
better really than | did my own
mother, and she was the next
friend to my mother.
Her husband was shot down like
Il dog in the field while he was
blowing aud earning his bread by
the sweat of his brow. | we'll re-
member when she told me of the
foul murder of my grandfather
whom | never saw, and showed me
the bullet hole in the shirt he had
on when ne was killed. How her
poor heart must have bled! She
WAS left with about six or eight
children, two girls and four or six
boys and by her good conduct,
managed to gain the good will of
Henry Nicholas and safely raised
all her children except two. |
don't know if they died before or
after her husbands death.
She so lived that she won all the
fortune her children received of
Henry Nicholas, | am realizing a
portion of it today. We should
not forget or pass over this too
thoughtIessIy; the good or evil that
people do speak long after their de-
parture from this world. well
remem ,er one morning when she
awoke me and said, "Dnn, you
have no papa And | well re,

raise me right while lie lived; he
took me to Sunday school once
when | wanted to play around thu
outside and took me up in from

not know my letters yet but |
remember the piece we sang:
"When He Cometh to make up his
Jewels" He also told me never
to stay on the out side of church
during service and never to sit in
the back part of the church. This
much | obeyed ever since. He also
called me to his bed and placed his
hands on my head few days be
fore he died and said, DON, |

in sin, but like the wandering son.

obeying and trying to make my
promise good. Don't forget Prov
cribs -"Traiu up a child in the way
he should 60. and when he is old
he will not depart from it" |
strayed away in my youth but in
my older days | have come back.
Don't neglect the children.
Thank God for a christian grand
mother and father and also a moth

and preaching and rejoiced to see
me go! With all honor and respect

Test of Religion

If some one calls you names or
speakes meanly of you, don't an
swer back. If your character is
not stronger than their insults,
they have the drop on you and
you had better retire. If it is, time
will furnish the proper answer in a
penalty for their meaness and secur-
rility. If a man is always in a
conflict with others on issues af-
fecting his honor or fame, he is
Lying his life OH a low plane, where
his faith never merges into love
and where his own rancor is made
to supply the place of Gods judg-
ment. One of the best tests of a
mans religion is furnished right
here, and if he is always spatting
back at every little thrust, you
wager that the thing he needs most
is religion. What mems opinions
of one another are is not a subject
of high toned controversy, and it
reflects seriously upon a man s
Christianity when he INDUCES in
that sort of conflict. If a man stop
to fight every fellow that insults
him on his way to heaven he will
never get there, K Ohio State Jour
nal.

| In YOUR last issue see an article
under the caption of Important, -
suggesting many things in regard
to our public roads-the first thing
suggested is to have a better road
law enacted.
In answer to their suggestion |
would say that we have one Of the
best roa laws in the state, bnt the
trouble lies in our officials in nos
having the law complied with.
We have excellent specifications,
our three commissioners getting
together and formulating excellent
specifications making them uniform
for the whole county under these
specifications the roads are adver-
tised and let to the lowest response
bic bidder for a period of from = to
years. We would have excellent
roads and there would be no kicks
coming if these responsible bidders
were made to put the roads up to
the specifications under which they
bid and enter into bond for that
purpose, Now where does the
trouble lie? Evidently it lies with
the road commissioners they ac-
cept tue roads when they are not
up to specifications.
The majority of contractors d"
as little work on the roads us posi-
bic and why not if their road is
accepted! The majority OF CON
tractors know very little about
making roads; they will often send
their boys, y anil II years old,
with a one-horse shovel pillow to
put the road up while daddy does
the mans work on the farm.
You would have All idea the kind
of road would be put up how is
the road law to reach such con
tractor if our commissioner anu
board Of supervisors accept the
rOaiS?
About the first thing done after
the road is let, the contractor be
gins counting the road commissioner;
he takes him home to dinner, rides
over the road with him, keeps him
over night and soon they are great
"buddies" and the commissioner
never sees the part of the road that
is not up" whang doodle 10 to
such it may be the commissioner
is tender hearted man, Knowing
the contractors bid WAS entirely
too low and he will have mercy IN
him if so the commissioner is
wrong because this rnam ,i;i :he
road off with the understanding
that the road was to be put up ar-
cording to certain sp2ri.i"1tr'u,
and it is his duty to see IiiAt lie
roads are put up Accordingly # I

Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with us are kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,
we want to cooperate with them
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with us be
overhaued at least year, and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
SMALL and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved SERVICE
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their SERVICE we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with
Manager OF writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.
