speakers present.
1t is an opportune time. Spring
weather is opening uD; and the fol-

out of the district conveniently near

On winch their lives are buiIt into one

On which their lives are built into one
Something the heart must have to
cherish,
Must love, and Joy, and sorrow learn:
Something with passion clasp, or per-
ish,
And in itself to ashes burn.
Glove then haiti, every bliss in store;
IT'S friendship, and It's something
more
Each other every wish they give;
Not to know love is not to live"
OF the solemnization of the married
relation, were ! an elegant writer OF
rhetorical persuasion, | would delin-
cate a graphic portrait that would in
spire admiration, and induce you to
aspire to eonnubial bliss.
Before Hymen's altar stands a
noble, generous young man, full OF
energy, courage and magnanlmity
By his left side, nearest his heart,
stands lovely woman, invigorated
with the freshness of youth in sur
passing beauty, endowed with every
grace. In her trusting, heroic devo-
ton, which impels her to leave father
and mother, she has plighted her love,
and entrusted her happiness to his
keeping. But she has done it without
fear, for love whispers to her heart
that her chosen guardian and protect
or bears a manly and noble heart.
Shame! to him, if he forgets his
plighted troth and noble impulse.
Perhaps you have read of the hus-
band who, in moment Of hasty tenn
per, said to his wife, who, a few
months before, had given her hand to
him in token of her devoted love, in
response to his promise to love and
cherish her as his own body, IF you
are not satisfied with my conduct, go,
return to your friends and your hap
piness." Can you bring me back that
which / brought to you? 2" asked the
despairing wife. eyes," he replied,
"all your wealth shall go with you: /
covet it not" "Alas," she answered,
81 thought not of my wealth. / spoke
of my devoted love; can you give that
back to me?" "No," said the husband,
as he flung himself at her feet. "No!
/ can not restore that, but / win do
more: | will keep it unsullied and I'M
tainted. | will cherish it through my
life, and in my death; and never again
will forget that / have sworn to pro-
tect and cherish her, who gave up to
me all that she held most dear"
If any husband, who may chance to
read this, has forgotten his promise
to love and cherish the wife of his own
bosom, and has played the churl, ere
you retire, to close your eyes in slum-
Der, will you not imprint on her sad
cheek a fond kiss, and with affection

No, can never come again"

NATIONAL HIGHWAYS

The importance Of good roads to
the small towns and rural CONSUME
tiles as a means of inviting tourists,
prospective settlers and Others who
contribute more or less to trade and
development, can not be overestimat-
ed. Especially is this true of through
routes, as evidenced by the following
from the Dixon (Ill.) Leader:
"That the Lincoln Highway is trav-
eled extensively by tourists is evi-
denced by the fact that in one day
over sixty cars from distant states
passed through Dixon westward and
eastward bound. Yesterday, in one
half hour, tourists passed through the
city from the following states: Ohio,
Kentucky, Florida, New York, Maine,
Indiana, Washington, California, Ari-
zona and Georgia, in the order named.
And, while this gives a wide repre-
sentation in a brief space of time, yet
frequently, and in fact almost daily,
this record is duplicated. There is
no more popular thoroughfare ira
versed by tourists than the Lincoln
Highway, and it is fortunate that
Dixon is located on it."
Sixty cars in one day, these from
Rll parts Of the United States, and this
almost daily occurrence.
People who travel long distances in
cars are generally people who have
money, and they spend it. They buy
gasoline, oil, cold drinks, groceries,
have their cars repaired, and often
spend the night in town. The money
that they spend is money from a dis
lance that we would get in no other
way.
Lots of these people are looking for
investments, or later see people who
are, and they remember section
that impresses them.
If our people in Upton county
would only realize what one of these
highways will mean to them, and re-
alize the chance we have to get one,
they would get busy. Things of this
kind are generally realized too late.
With the present and future mode
of travel, a county which does not
secure National Highway will be
very much like county without a
railroad.
A great highway meeting will be
held in Memphis on April 5. Upton
county should have big delegation
at this meeting.
