To keep the little ones we'll, sturdy

1t is carefully made of selected rem.
edies that loosen and break up cough,
stop Group and ease an aching infamed

The prompt use Of Foley's Honey and

THE PREACHER AND HIS FLOCK
(Waynesville Mountaineer--Courier

(WayneSville Mountaineer--Courier.)
The Reverend Mr.. West in a diplo-
matte but very fervid and sincere and
therefore effective manner called at
tentoin of his. congregation at the
Methodist church last Sunday norm
ing to the common sin OF ~inattentinn
and irreverence for the sanctuary. He
was reading the scripture lesson when
he paused, stepped to the side OF the
pulpit and asked nat there be no
whispering during a religious service,
that those already in ought to refrain
from turning around to see who The
late ome are, and that the pastor
be given close attention. When he
concluded, undoubtedly the great ma
jority felt like applaUding. The
church is not the place, o a church
service the opportune time, for frIvol-
ity. In the church there should dom
mate an atmosphere of sanctity. One
hould feel on entering the church
that this is, a sacred place. And from
the time the pastor enters the pulpit,
he should have both undivided and re-
spectful attention. Hence a smoker
ing boy, a gum-chewing girl. a Whis-
pering ONE or a nodding bald-head
are wholly out of place during a
church service. Mr.. West preached a
splendid sermon on our Christian duty
towards a God who gave his only son
to redeem the world. He doubts the
sincerely of the member who can al
ways go for his mail on. Sunday or to
a picture show thru three feet Of
snow, but who permits any incIemen-
cy of the weather to prevent his church
attendance. He pleaded for a more
pronounced manifestation of 5heir
profession of faith by not negIecting
either the Sunday school nor the
church services. The writer's judg-
ment is that the pastor is mo- only ex-
ceptionally talented, but a sincere
and effective preacher and should have
q full house every Sunday. In fact.
the population here is su~f1cient-to fill
every church in town every Sunday.
And the finest Recommendation for
any town is that it is g church-going-
town.

Returns of income 70 rthe year 1871
nuts be made on forms. provided for
the purpose before March l, 1918. Be
cause a good many peOpI+ don't under
stand the law and wont know how to
make out their returns, the govern
ment is sending this officer to do 1t
for them. But the duty is on the tax
payer to make himself known to the
government. If he doesn't make re-
turn as required before March 1,he may
have to pay a penalty ranging from
$40 to $1,000, pay a fine or go to Jail
So if you don't want to take chances.
you should call on the income tax
man. If you are not sure about be-
ing subject to the tax, better ask him
and make sure Whether you see the
income tax nan or not, you must make
return r subject to- tax.
The collector suggests hat every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures when officer arrives. EX-

penses, money used to pay of the prin-
cipal Of a debt, lev machinery, build

PRAISES COUNTRY NEWSPAPER


There is one institution which we
do not believe is generally estimated
at its true value. 1t is the county
newspaper, or as it is usually called,
the country newspaper. Those VINO
lead the great dalI4es and the weekly
and monthly magazines n thought
.lessly compare the country weekly
with them are tempted to regard the
latter with Indifference or perhaps
contempt. There should be no such
comparison. They serve entirely
different purposes and are equally use
full in their several fields. 1t would
be as just to compare the railway ter
minals Of the great cities with the
simple little station in the remote
rural districts. 1t would be like com
pairing the white ways IF the cities
with, the modest oil lamp which burns
in the millions of homes.
1t is the country newspaper, poorly
printed and unsightly as it often is,
that carries the light tt those. who
would otherwise sit in darkness. 1t
II SHE country newspaper that picks
up the scattered threads <of the sim
pie lift of the people and knits them
together into the fabric OF commune
ty living The great dailies. record the
deeds of the murderer, the burglar
and the social bandit, and OF. the blast
ed and broken home. But it is chiefly
is the country newspaper that picks
the births and deaths and innocent
pleasures of those who; make our
country really great. 1t is, the coun-
try newspaper that encourages and
supports local enterprise and indus
try and inspires the plain, ordinary
man to strive for the. confidence and
esteem of his n%eighbors, and gives
health and strength to the social, in
dustrial and politicaf unit OF orr civil
,lizatiOn. After all it rs what the
neighbors say and rot the law that
makes men walk the straight and mar
row path. Where there are 10 coun~
try newspapers there are few neigh
bors, although there may be a multi
tude of people. and society loses its
greatest safeguard. =
Country newspapers rarely receive
the patronage they deserve, Their

not properly run the community SUI
fers the greater loss.
