Paying Ones Debts.
(Pearisburg Virginiaa.)

(Pearisburg Vrginian.)
The following from an exchange
furnishes good matter for thought
and good avice for action:
Just at this time our country needs
a religion that will make a man pay
his debts. Shouting won't settle old
accounts with God or man. We bounce
right into a fellow and put him out of
the church if he goes to ball or
theatre, but never say word to the
pious old scamp who never pays his
debts, or the other fellow who is
doing the church more harm than the
dancer. Reader, are we getting close
to you? Then lay down your paper
and go and pay up, and don't stop
paying because the statute of limita-
ton excuses the open account you
made for bread and meat. You must
pay it in cash or God will make you
pay for it in fire and birthstone. God
knows no such excuse for not paying
as homestead exemption. When you
raise that excuse to keep from paying
debts stop singing, "When / can raise
my title clear to mansions in the sky
You have none up there.

FOR BALkY HORSES.
lFarm end Ranch.l

Balky horses are not cured by harsh
treatent. The tucking of the ear un-
der the headstall of the bride; put
ting ag ravel in the ear, or whipping
is cruel to n balky horse.
Let the driver get down from his
seat as soon as his horse balks: have
every one present except himself go
behind the wagon and keep perfectly
quiet, while the driver lays his lines
on the ground where the balky horse
can see him, then the driver walk
along beside the horse and pretend to
adjust the harness-unbuckic and re-
buckle some parts, The while talking
to the horse until he gets up to the
horses head, then smooth the name
under the headstall of the bridle-rub
the nose, eyes and throat, patting the
horse gently all the while, talking
quietly to him.
When the horse seems to be quieteI
the driver must step quickly and take
up his lines, get on the wagon and
speak kindly to the team, and nine
times out of ten the horse will start
SO quickly as to lead the other horse.
but the driver must have his whip in
hand where it cannot be seen by the
balky horse, but touch the horse to
keep him even.
The repetition of this treatment
three times will generally cure the
horse of baking.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Any special width OF public road,
less than 30 feet, must be sustained
by the county records, otherwise the
width of the right of way of our coun-
ty roads, is not less than thirty feet.
Fences on this right of way, un.
der our recently amended road law,
are instructions, and as such are sub
ject to removal or to be set back. I'M
der penalty, on three days notice from
the County Road Department.
While very evident that such an ar
bitrary move would inflict considera-
BILE pecuniary loss and inconvenience
upon our people, and might be from
many standpoiHts, rlost inadvisable,
nevertheless it is rot to be inferred
that the county through inactivity in
this respect, resigns the prerogative
of removing at any time any or all
fences obstructing the right of way.
would earnestly request, there
fore, in order to meet the require
ments of the law, as it behooves ev-
cry good citizen that you kindly coop
crate with your road department in
supporting the legal status by hereaf-
ter, and from this date, when con-
structing new fences or repairing and
replacing the old along the public
road, set the same on the line of
right of way. If in doubt as to said
line, advise the road department,
which will render immediate advice or
service.
All fences constructed or renewed
subsequent to this notice, when built
on the public right of way, will be re-
garded as distractions, and the prop
er action for the removal thereof will
be taken as the law directs.

Incentives.

Without one thought of gain,
No world heights TO attain,
Nor honor, brief as vain,
Fight thou the fight.
BY no ambition moved,
Nor life hopes that you loved,
Nor day dreams dearer proved,
Maintain the right.
Fame is a little thing,
Success bird on wing,
The songs that pleasure sing
Are songs of days
But, oh, Gods ends are strong,
Although his ways seem long,
His might and truth the song
Time chants always.
Accept no ends but His,
For no mirage of bliss,
No halfway arbors, miss
Your Hottest aims.
