hundred dollars for road purposes
for period of FIVE years. This is
a very sensible act of our neighbor.
All counties wanting roads are do

voted, it takes more than half the
tax for the whole period of time to
pay the interest on the bonds.

velous sermon Sunday night by Mr..
Crafts. 1t matters little what
church these sermons are preached
in but it would do everybody in
Stanton good to hear them. Come,
people of Stanton and show us that
you love the church. Show your
colors and don't be a Stacker for
God. When you stay away from
Church and Sunday School you are
Stacker. It's bad enough to be
called a Stacker for your country,
but it's far worse to be Stacker for
God. iou are to be judged at the
great Day Of Judgment by your
daily life here, not what you pro-
TESS but how to live and work for
God.

Another milestone has passed in
the life of John w. Williams and
another year Of thankfulness that
he has the health and strength that
he has. Monday of this week was
his Slst birthday and his many
friends, relatives and children gath
cred at his home to celebrate the
occasion. A bountiful dinner pre-
pared from the good things that are
found on the good old farm was
partaken of by the hungry crowd
and nothing was allowed to go to
waste. In these war times of high
prices and scarcity Of food stuff it
is a pleasure to sit down to table
that had such appetizing dishes
prepared by those who are experts
in that line. Mrs. Williams is GER
tainly a good cook and we are in
formed that she had fine help in
some of the dishes. Mr.. Williams
has lived a long and useful life.
He has not wasted the precious
hours he has lived but has given a
good account of them. One has but
to look over his fine farms roamed
over by fine stock to see that he
has been a wise farmer and "a busy
man. Such as he has only comes
