DEMAND FOR
"a GOOD ROADS
Mr.. Stanyarne Burrows Com
pares Road Conditions in
Florida With Those
Here
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
l wish to say a word in regard to
good roads. have just returned from
a visit to kissimmee, Osceola County,
Florida, where I formerly spent sew
eral years. AT that time the roads
in that county were just as ours are
today Now they have brick roads
over the county, joined to main roads
over the State.
The population of Osceola county is
not half that of Sumter county, and
if they can have good roads in that
poor State, why cannot we have them
in South Carolina? The time has
come when we should demand good
roads, and I for one am ready to do
my part in any way to get them, for
it means prosperity.
Yours truly,
Stanyarne Burrows.

THE THREEFoLD TALIsMAN
By Priscilla Leonard

By Priscilla Leonard
Make the best of everything!
Bravely seek and find.
Push past trial and defeat
To the joy behind;
Nothing ever was SO hard
As it looks to be,
Faith and courage cannot fail
OF their victory.
Think the best of everyone!L
Spite and slander shun,
Fill your heart with kindly thoughts
Judge and mock at none;
For if truth and brotherhood
All your speech control,
Love will prove the golden key
To your neighbor's soul.
Hope the best things for yourself
Never let dispair
Hide the possibilities
You were meant to share;
From your daily doubts and fears
Upward lift your eyes,
Where ahead wait joys as fair
As Gods glorious skies.

Gunnison. September 8. l

Gunnison, September 3, 1900.
Dear Mary
This is my lazy day. ! always feel
sleepy after big party the evening
before. Am just going to rest up
this forenoon and write letters.
Mrs. Olive Butler, state president
of the Rebekahs and the state secre-
tary, Mrs. f. v. Beggs, were here and
the Rebekahs had fine time. The
ladies vert to Crested Butte today,
and several of the Gunnison members

Nesdames, Fannie Whip, Clara Mas
on, Minnie Miller, Ida Meyer; Misses
Mary Williams, Matte Brown and
Laura Emerson.
Jack has gone down town to see
his old friend, j. A. Lehrritter, who
came in from Denver today. Mr..
Lehrritter accompanied his father-in-
law, +. w. Knoll, who is here from
Dubuque, Iowa to visit his children.
Quite a family of them here. They
are AL. and Henry Knoll, and Mrs.
Fred Hagan and Mrs. II. schnepf.
Jack kind of wanted to go to the
G. A. Il. National Encampment at
Chicago this week. J. c. Mckee went
last night.
III bet you will be surprised to
hear who is married. Albert Delo,
Z the popular Rio Grande conductor
was married at Lake City to Miss
Laura Kelley. They will live in
Lake City.
Another wedding was that of Mrs.
NJ. A. Whitehorn and J. B. Cammann.
They were married at Salt Lake City

LOOK TO YOUR RUBBER
RINGS WHEN CANNING

It is very important when canning
fruit or pickles Of any kind that re-
quires storing in tightly-sealed jjars,
rings be at hand. These may be
tested by pulling. II they are of q
good elasticity, they will not break
easily, and when doubled between the
fingers, the rubber should not crack
or show little holes.
A great many housewives use the
same rubber rings two and even
three seasons in succession. While it
may seem economical, it is cheaper
in the long run to have a supply of
brand new rings on hand. With the
high cost of sugar, to say nothing of
its scarcity, it is next to calamity
to have ones fruit spoil because Of
imperfect sealing, due principally to
poor rubber rings or poorly-fitting
cap to the jar.
When preparing jars to be filled, a
good way to mark them for identifi-
cation is to have on hand a large
seed catalogue. Then the illustrations
may be cut out and pasted onto the
jar of fruit or vegetables just pre-
pared. This is even better method
than writing the names across slip
Of paper, because It can be more
easily located in dark corner or
shelf. The little lady who loves to
help mother, can be allowed TO cut
cut the pictures from the catalog and

TOO LONG IS WORSE
THAN TOO SHORT

The knocker Of the present pre-
vailing style in womens' skirts who
wall that the garment is too short,
viii now have something else TO wall
about At a recent meeting of famous
medical authorities which met in
London, the learned gentlemen COM
mended the present short skirt and
strenuously protested against a re-
turn Of the trailing garment worn a
few years gao. The doctors argued
that the wearing Of such skirts in
creased the spread Of disease germs,
since the germs. were swept up in
dust clouds caused by the trailing of
a woman's skirt on the ground and
that the garment harbored more mil
lion Of death-giving disease germs
than 1t would be possible for q person
to conceive of in q month of Sundays.
The doctors declared that little child
rem were the chief sufferers from
the germs that were carried into the
homes on the trailing skirts of the
women members.
While it is true that some Of the
styles in women's skirts
are anything but modest, there is,
however, no reason to switch back to
the long, dust-collecting street-sweep-
ing styles of few years ago. Just
strike q happy medium-Not too
long and not too short.
Women, now having the vote, should
rise superior to silly fashions and re-
ject trappings that are immodest and
utterly useless, and should see to it
that their garments make for health
as well as style. Reform like charity
should begin at home, and now that
the women of the nation have won
national suffrage, and long to start
reform" campaigns, they can start

ALL THINGS COME TO
THOSE WHO WAIT

We are told that in the beginning
of all things, God created the heavens
and the earth. In the heavens above
he placed creatures called angels,
while on the earth below were things
beautiful-Flowers, and birds also
there were various kinds of beasts,
including man. Then on the seventh
day He rested. Last, He made a
creature and called il "woman," and
then, it is said, neither God or man
has rested since-which after all is
not as funny as il sounds, if one will
remember the strenuous time the
female of the species puts ia 20 s.
cure her own way or something she
wants, particularly il it happens to
be hers by rights
II took the women of the nation 72
years to secure the right TO vote with
man. but secure it they did. August
26th, 1920, the final chapter was
written.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia
Mott and Susan b. Anthony are three
names that will ever be cherished in
the memory of womenkind. II was
in 1888 that the first real movement
for Woman's Suffrage was made.
Mrs. Stanton and Lucretia Mott being
the first wcmen of the nation to de-
mand women's rights. They failed,
however. Then in 1857 Susan b.
Anthony drafted the amendment to
the constitution, which after all these
years, has been ratifed-and by a
Democratic state, too. Don't forget
that, ladies, when you vote this fall.
To be sure, we owe a great deal to
the Republicans also, but it was Mt
the eleventh hour, when defeat was
near that the Democrats turned de-
feat to victory.
1t was "some fight" all right to
secure that "one vote more" in order
that the amendment might become a
law, and as one after another Of the
states appealed to voted no." it be-
gan to look as il defeat was again
to be borne, when Tennessee turned
gloom into rejoicing.
The story is too long and has been
told SO many times that further COM
ment is unnecessary. However, it
will be interesting to watch results.
Well, we helped Twin the war;" we
have likewise helped in everything
else Of any Importance, SO why not
let's help poor man in his election
troubles also. Verify, 'tis time Of
much woe. 4,

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

Exchange:-
Most anyone can see a mountain
but it requires someone of keen per-
ception to detect q mole hill-which
accounts for the few people that
have been capable of great things.
Most of the great discoveries Of the
world have resulted from the atten-
tive observation of things that arc
small. To be scrupulous about lit
tie things may be indicative Of q
narrow mind and petty spirit, yet
from the careful attention to little
things, men have made their greatest
achievements.
Little things, little courtesies, little
kindnesses, genial smiles, the en-
couraging word, the friendly letter
these things are indicative of ones
