Editors of the Carthage Courier:
Your quotation of an article in the
Nashville Banner in regard to instrhc-
tons sent out from the Loan Board
at Washington, D. C. to the twelve
Federal Land Banks of the Uhited
States is NOT very applicable to the
work of the Federal Land BaHk of

It must be Remembered thu It there
are twelve Federal Land Banks, oper-
ating in twelveN Federal Laid Bank

states of the East.
The ''ten dollar" estimate on land
does not apply to the J ich and fertile

Chestnut Mound National Farm Loan
! Association, doing business through
the Federal Land Bank at louisville

ties during the past year atN rate
of from $40 to $50 loan per acre.
It must be remembered thu It the
Loan Board at Washington, y. c
has the oversight IF these eptire
banks over the entire United SAT- tes
Such articI es as appeared in tn,

When, however, oneG suffers from fire.

Among the most c0nmon of such
reasons is Anemia or Bloodlessness.
This condition is especially frequent
among girls and young women and
those whose occupations or habits of

one important Necessity in such cases
is to build up the quantity and quality

For four long months his sufferings
were severe and intense but patience
and Christian ndurance trembled
beneath the burden till Mercy said
it was enough and suffering and sigh
ing were exchanged for the victor's
song and conqueror's crown, with
stainless robe and the mansion Of the
King.
It has truthfu1ly been said Of Bro.
Clark that he was better to his fell
bowman than to himself. Was this not
the spirit of the seH-sacrifising Lord ?
Who threw the unbroken splendors of
His Heaven-born nature across the
benighted pathway Of his foes and
| illuminated the immortal fields with
the light to guide the penitent sinner
to mercy and kindness.
My dear brother, we have told you
goodbye for a short while and the last
milestone on life's rugged road has
/ told you of the terminus of your
earthly journey and the near approach

expanse OF the country where the
flowers of Paradise bloom at the feet
of the saints and where the angels
sing amid the unfolding beauty of her
trees. We are coming bye and by.
Beyond the peaks of mountains

For the rest that earth denies US

We will find over there where comes
no fear.

GOOD ROADS


I'm so tired Of water, rocks and mud,
With wagons, half loaded buried to the
hub.
Although four hundred thousand dol
lars we did vote
To build roads and heavy loads they
will ''tote''
Mr.. Roadbuilder, come this way, here's
job to let,
And all of Smith County will secure
the debt.
There's also civil engineer to be en-
ployed,
A man both wide in his views and
ideas of his own
And frank to say Just where the
gravel should be strown.
Of course a great deal of free advice
he will receive
And # POSSIBILITY philosopher they
would deceive,
But we are not to judge, it's not for
us to say,
To the engineer it should be left the
roads to survey
! To him this matter we should be will
| ling to trust,
We should only keep cool and kick up
no dust,
1t matters not through whose fields,
the roads should run,
They viii only be benefited, no harm
win be done.
/ Although / hear some say through
my farm 7 would not have it come,
For two thousand dollars in cash, a
/ handsome little sum,
Just why they see as they do it's
hard for me to utter,
Unless down a muddy road they had
rather splutter
If through your farm this road should
be made,
Pm quite shure in the near future.
you'd be fully repaid,
For the value of your property it
would enhance,
You'd almost feel that you'd been
lpaid in advance.
If you should object and forbid it
come,
On the opposite side of the creek it
Then you'd lose your outlet but
'twould be too late,
For the value of your property then
; would depreciate.
If this should be the case 'twould be
to bad,
For with your consent new road you
: might have had,
; Now it's up to you this question to
. deride,
, It's not for me to say, I have no
finger in the pie.
Now l fully do believe It's time for
us to make move,
For a better way to travel to us it
does behoove,
The roads we have today are almost
out of date,
And every time there romes a tide
they inundate
This is you l only say but you have
] often heard it said,
The roads we have today are too near
the waters edge.
It's not the old roads we care Sc
+ They'll soon be rejected, veil survey
: another route.
) 1t is the new roads Pm so much en-
Unused
For the old is so bad no one car
hardly use.
l hear it talked around and to me i
had been told
The bonds that we voted will soon b.
much about,
sold.
We then will have the dough,
will come in wads
s And all that want to work can surel.
q find job,
q Now is the time to start and perhap
you ask why,
If too long we should wait the tim
s. will idle by.

81 to the spot,
Is This is only gentle hint, 1 onl
81 mean to warm
81 That we should lend a helping hanC
81 not point finger of scorn.
Then what good roads we could built
they'd be as substantial as Naoh's arl
They would be high and wide abov
the waters mark,
Just here I'll only add for / believ
.twould be nothing wrong
To the county the dreadful pike
should belong,
The owners thereof are sage, but v
should make some shift,
And from across the roads these pole
we soon should lift,
These ugly poles, they never move,
