FRANK HAYNES REsIGNEs

Frank Haynes, who has for about
three years he'd the position of fore
man of the Democrat, resigned his
position recently and will leave Lib
eral some time M the near future.
Mr.. Haynes turned down a good
position lately, saying he was tired
of the printing game and intended to
find a good location and engage in
business for himself.
Frank has always given the best of
satisfaction. He is steady, reliable
gentleman of good habits and will
make good wherever he decides to
locate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haynes have placed
their beautiful home on North Jor-
dan avenue in the hands of real es-
tate agents to be sold as quickly as
possible, and there is no doubt but
what it will be snapped up in hur-
ry as it is one of the incest and best
arranged modern homes in the city,
and anyone may count themselves
lucky in securing this valuable place
of property.

II you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you

II you'd like to win but think you

It's almost cinch you won't.
II you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with fellows will,
It's all in the state Of mind.
II you think you're outclassed, you

You've got to think high to rise,

being an advance of a good 25e on all
common to fair cattle the last few

good, although available supplies are
very small, having to be bought up
few head at time.
