are discouraged it is good to en-
courage them with examples of
success after failure. But it is
not good to leave the average boy
or girl with the impression that
he or she also must be great in
the way in which these heroes
were great.
Two or three boys now in
school may perhaps some day be-
come president of the United
States, but no more; and if all
are urged to strive for this dis
tinction and they take the lesson
to heart, it means that all but
two or three are bound to be dis
appointed and carry through life
sense of hopeless failure. And SO
with other aims of the sort.
It is given to very few to be
distinguished in any line, and, if
all aim at distinction, nearly all
must end in a failure. And that
means bitterness of soul after a
fierce and hopeless struggle.
The bitterness is not entirely
undesewed, for the desire to
stand out as superior to others
is not entirely generous And
even when it is gratified it cannot
make one happy if it has stunted
the rest of life.
One should not strive too
much to be a hero. 1t is better
simply to do ones part. Some
times that leads to heroi'sm of the
outstanding sort. More often it
does not.
Simply doing what ought to be
done and taking what comes ones
way without fuss is heroism al
so, and heroism of better kind,
for it is reached without an ap-
plauding audience to urge one on,
and success is not achieved at the
expense of someone else's disap-
pointment.- Exchange.

LOCAL NOTES

f. E. Barnett is working for the
Emporium at Jackson.
The Red Cross drive opens to-
day but so far very little has been
done in this county toward the
movement.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crook Russell, of
Route 2, are the proud parents of
a fine baby boy, born on the 10Th
of October.
w. D. Thomas went down to
Braxton yesterday and spent the
night at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Berry.
The Radcliffe Chautauqua tent
is pitched on the public square
and the first number of the chaut-
auqua will be delivered this after
noon.
c. F. Alrich has closed down
his sawmill and brought his ma
chinery into town and stored it
until lumber advances and labor
goes down.
Mrs. Florence Burney's many
friends will be pleased to know
that she is getting along nicely
at the Jackson Sanitarium, and
hopes are entertained for her
permanent and speedy recovery.
The News is glad to learn that
Mike Dickson, who recently I'M
derwent a serious operation at
the Magee Sanitorium, is getting
along nicely, and his many friends
hope for him a permanent and
speedy recovery.
On account of lack of funds,
most of the bills payable out of
the general county fund, were
continued at the last meeting of
the board. Taxes will be coming
in in few days, however, and the
situation will be relieved possibly
by the next meeting of the board.
Bob Burns is not the least dis
turbed over losing his job as a
consequence of a change of ad-
ministration on the 18th of next
March. His present commission
is good for three more years, and
then being one Of the best and
most obliging postmasters in the

stand for a change.

peridical visit to the dentist to have
their teeth scraped.

powder or paste is depended upon to
keep them spotless. Many have learned
however, of remarkable product

the brownish or grayish films from the
