Mr.. and Mrs. o. f. Boyd. jr., are
entertaining a little stranger, who
came to their home last Thursday,

use to worE!
When til. + civic society is organ
lied the writer has an offer of city
park site he wants to submit to them.
Ii You WANT anything, why not get
busy and get after Perhaps you
are faint-hearted and can't realize
that this Is to be city some day and
that now is the time to plan for it.
A great many farmers of this Sec
Hon have planted velvet beans this
season. and where they are planted
in corn they have literally overridden

This will go long ways toward soly-
ing the problem OF cow feed. The

ration for cows that can be obtained.
As gentle reminder to our city
dads. their attention h called to the
.unsightly appearance Of the rank
growth OF weeds since the recent

heretofore for some years, and their
destruction adds much to the beauty

on the high school grounds.
Mr.. Van Canter, connected with the
| State Sunday school work, met with
Sunday school workers of the town

tage of the opportunity now offered
in getting the children and young poe.

! gers who are coming in to join our
Sunday schools. He left here at five
o'clock pm, and will meet with the
Haughton Sunday School to-day.
Why can't the ladies' get together
and form civic society! II You are

do, and have done, make trip t.
Minden and you will be convinced
Such an organization could transform
a town that can already boast of great
natural beauty into sa0w place. This
civic society should take charge OF
I the cleaning off and identifying OF

anG poorly kept condition. All viii
not speak ut once, but surely this viii
not be Put of too long.
