Emerson for Clerk

In the proper column this week
will be noticed the authorized
announcement of County Treas
urer Walter Emerson as a candi-
date for the office of County
Clerk.
MIR. Emerson is one of our
best young men and is now round
ing out his second term as Treas
urer of this county and from all
reports his services as such have
been entirely satisfactory in
every way. He won his first
race with a good majority and
made such an enviable record
while serving his first term that
he had no opposition in his second
race.
'Si' is always on the job and
there is nota county official around
the court house who is more
anxious to accommodate any tax
payer than he. We ask that the
voters of Woodruff carefully con-
slider his claims for the office of
County Clerk and respectfully
recommend him as one who will
fill the same with honor to him
self and his constituency.

Concerning the New Church

During the past two weeks |
have talked to a number of our
neople in regard to our new
church. With the exception of a
very few, all are heartily in favor
of a nice brick church, and most
of those to whom | have talked
responded to my call for financial
help. We have more money in
sight now than ever before at
any one time.
Last week we stated that this
week the names and amounts of
those who had subscribed would
be published, but owing to the
number who have not been inter-
viewed, we will not make such a
publication until next week. If
any who have subscribed object
to having their names published
and will express themselves SO to
me, | will put the amount they
subscribed but omit the name.
This list will be printed so that
the public may know just who
are assisting us in the great
work and who are not, and that
all may know just how much is
being subscribed.
The people of Fakes Chapel
are also planning to build a nice
frame church. The subscription
list has been started for this
church and the good people are
responding freely. This list will
also be published in next weeks

Boost Your Home Town

who has not spent much time in
the country for several years,
found himself in a small town on
a Thursday evening.
This village is located some
twenty miles from any city or
large town and is a trading point
for a rich agricultural communi-
ty, but in no respect unlike hun
dreds of other villages scattered
over the middle west.
The city man, having nothing
else to do, spent the evening
watching what was going on in
the town. Speaking Of his ex-
perience, he expressed surprise
at the change that had taken
place in the general makeup of
small towns since he was familiar
with conditions in the country.
Having been raised in a village
he noted the difference between
the small town of his early &C.
quaintance and the strictly mod
ern small town Of today.
The business district of the lit
tie town visited extended only
about block along single
street, but the character of stores
compared favorably with the
mercantile establishments found
a few years ago in stable cities.
The buildings we're large and
substantial, most of them being
constructed of brick, stone or &C.
ment. The windows were plate
glass and the window displays
skillfully arranged.
Any one of the main stores
picked up and set down in a city
of fifteen to twenty thousand in
habitants would not have suffer
ed by comparison.
While there was no paving in
the village, the streets were well
graded and oiled. Sidewalks
were of cement and in good
repair.
On this particular Thursday
night our city friend counted
twenty six automobiles parked in
front of the stores besides a
goodly number Of horse-drawn
vehicles, and the town was full
of we'll dressed pleasure seekers
There was nothing special doing
and the people present were
simply from the surrounding
country in town for their usual
trading and recreation.
The one picture show, conduct
ed in a good building equipped
for the purpose, was we'll attend
ed. The two ice-cream and light
refreshment parlors were full
during the entire evening.
The city man was thoroughly
convinced that the home village
meant infinitely more to farmers
