A Word to Nominees.
A certain esthetic, long-haired,
congenial gentleman from the East
Aurora has well said, that one of the
greatest pleasures in life comes with
putting salt on the tail of opportun-
|lty." If he had been coming that apt
depression for the special use Of those
Nominated In The Item and the
watchman and southron's Golden
Festival and Voting Campaign he
could not have said anything better.
The Daily Item is giving you the
opportunity Of q life time. Your
friends nominated you because they
had confidence In your ability. and

LED among those who will wear the
|Smile that won't come off at the close

The campaign manager wishes to

forethought to get their names in

ly appreciate the value of the "dor it

Don't Delay.
Don't wait another day, today is
the day Start now. doing a deed is like
sewing seed; II not done at the right
time the crop will be forever out of
season. More than likely there will
never be crop at all.
Some one who evidently spoke
from bitter experience, has aptly said,
THE whole summer of eternity will
not be long enough to bring to ma
turity the fruit of delayed action. If
a star or plant were delayed one sec
ond in its natural course it might
throw the whole universe out of har-
mony. All Of which is worth con-
siderable thought by those who have
only been thinking Of becoming ac-
tive In this campaign.
Those who appreciate the magni-
tude Of The Daily Item and the
and Southron's offer. will
let no opportunity escape to secure
every possible subscription during the
entire campaign.
With apologies to the person who |
wrote. "Hustle and Grim" for a pub
lication called Common Sense" the |
Campaign Manager wishes to crib |
enough Of the poem to infict upon his |
including a change or two, to
make 1t fit this proposition, which
would make it read like this:
Sigh and you attain nothing;
Work. and the prize is won;
For every man
With backbone can
BY nothing be outdone.
Hustle and fortune awaits you:
Shirk, and defeat is sure;
