Those who are in run down" con-

them much more than when they are
in good health. This fact proves that
while Catarrh is local disease, it is

Clements Interests of Mass of PopuIa-

peal to Best Glass of Citizens
Country Press a National Power.
BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

The country communicable viii
lage, the small town and the small
city-are the backbone of the Ameri-
can nation. They are the communities
to which the nation turns in time of
distress and emergency. They are
even more than the backbone of the
nation. They are the bulwark of our
modern civilization. Just at the close
of the World war, Mr.. Balfour, for
eign minister of Great Britain, said to
the writer in London that the entire
civilized world must look to the small
towns of America to preserve for the
world the civilization that it had taken
centuries to build, because the small
towns represented a substantial solid
tty that the tremendous upheaval of
the war had not affected, and it was
only such a foundation that would
preserve the structure Of civilization.
The cement that keeps the people of
these country communities together,
working and thinking along uniformly
sane and safe lines, that makes of
them that substantial solidity" on
which world civilization can rely for
foundation, is the country press
the village the small town and the
small city newspaper.
Country Paper Wholesome.
The country newspaper goes to its
readers devoid of that sensationalism
that is so prominent in the metropoli
tan papers. 1t carries to its readers
the news items that represent the joys
and sorrows of their friends and
neighbours, and Keeps the hearts of the
people of the. community beating In
unison. 1t goes to its readers with
that sane and kindly advice on local,
state, national and world problems
advice that is the result of thought
and study beside the hearthstones of
the nation, and not in the selfish marts
Of trade or the brightlights of city
frivolity. 1t goes with the influence
of known and respected member of
the community-its editor back of its
every word, its every opinion. 1t goes
to a people, the people of the country
communities and the farms, that are
more capable of thinking along sane.

To Gain a Good Reputation

The way to gain good reputation
isto endeavor to be what you appear.
That is precisely the matter in which
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
gained its reputation as cure for
coughs, colds, Group and whooping
cough. Every bottle that has ever
been put out by the manufacturers
has been fully up to the high stand
ard of excellence claimed for it. Peo-
pie have found that it can be depended
upon for the relief and cure of these
ailments and that it is pleasant and
safe to take.

How many residents of any small
community have ever considered what
might happen If there were no news
papers? Just previous to Sub
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week." which Is to be observed the
country over November 7-12, is good
time to recall the plight of Macon,
Mo-, not long ago, when fire put the
Chronicle Herald out of business for
two weeks.
According to The Publishers Aux
Hilary, the old town crier, relic of
many years back, was yanked from
his hiding place, busted off, and put
back on his job, with jangling bell,
megaphone, and a fog-horn voice only
little worse for long disuse.
1t may have been novelty for two
weeks. But think of a community
without printers ink, compelled to get
it's announcements of auctions, sales,
court sessions, births, marriages,
deaths, epidemics of sickness, dog or
dinances, board meetings, commence
ments, tax notices, advertisements
Of help and situations wanted, acct
dents and the rest, through shouted
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer in a city depot. The town
crier was a romantic figure in his day,
but few towns would like to return to
his ministrations now.
When one thinks of the temporary
plight of Macon, and that it might
become the permanent handicap of
many towns, it is well to think of sup
porting the local paper.

A Remarkable Record

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
a remarkable record. It has been in
use for colds, Group and whooping
cough for almost half a century and
has constantly grown in favor and
popularity as its good qualities be-
came better known. 1t is the stand
ard and main reliance for these dis
eases in thousands of homes. The
fact that it can always be depended
upon and is safe and pleasant to take
are greatly in it's favor when it is
wanted for children.

How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked. In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinay cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more gentle that one hard
ly realizes that it is produced by
medicine. Then, they not only move
the bowles but improve the appetite
and strengthen the digestion.

was division of sentiment among the people upon the
proposition However general bill was passed applying
TO all the counties of the state providing for County

TO the fact that this not brought about by the passage
of a local bill.

demand for the automobile license money to be returned
to the districts proportion to the number Of the
respective districts To do this, required bs-one
general bill requiring the State Highway Commission
send direct to the County the County pro rata of this
fund and then local bill requiring the Chairman Smith
County to distribute this fund to the districts The gen
eral bill passed the Senate but was killed the House
Mr. Beasey worked hard for the passage of this BILL but
stated it failed We had already passed local BILL
but of course the failure of the general bill nules the
local bill

of general legislation think the people are reasonably
familiar with it. tried to do just what promised the
people would dothat is, represent their real interests

ROAD WORK
PROGRESSES

We are glad to report progress in
road construction in Smith county.
This is the busy season with farmers
and some of the work may be tenn
porarily halted on this account, but we
trust the commissioners will push the
work with all energy. We need the
roads and the people need the money,
and we are glad to note the fact that
it is the policy of the commissioners
to give employment to our own people
This is right. Our people pay the taxes
and the money should go to them In
this way, we can "eat the cake and
still have it." The expenditure of this
road money among our own people will
greatly relieve the present stringency
in money matters, and give our people
profitable employment.
We are informed that the road has
been located on the upper end of Pey-
toms Greek and construction work will
began at once. This is an important
road and, perhaps, can be more cheap
ly built than any road in the county.
Let the good work go on.

Woman Sues Men Who
Failed to Drown Her

Berne, April 5.-Two men who had
entered into contract with a woman
to end her life recently were hailed
into court here by the party of the
second part for taking her money and
failing to carry out their bargain.
Robbery was charged, and the men
were sentenced to terms in prison.
Fraulein KrauSs. had been brooding
over troubles, but could not bring her
self to commit suicide. She found a
chemist who professed to be willing
to act as her executioner for con
sideration.
The woman insisted upon being be-
headed, it was alleged, but the chemist
held that poison would be just as eff
cacious and more conventional. The
third party in the negotiations sug-
gested drowning as compromise, and
the deal was closed.
The three started for Lake Lucehne,
but the chemist, having exacted adj
vance payment of IS per cent of the
400 pounds, contract price, vanished

journeyed to Lebanon Wednesday and

exciting game by the score of to 2.
The game was full of exciting plays
but it was evident from the cry Nplay

the Carthage boys completely out
classe dthe Heights boys The out
standing features of the game were
the pitching of Stone and the long
run of Gwaltney. All the boys played
like Vets, and were cool under the
terrific roofing of some hundred or
ganized rooters
This game established baseball his
tory, for according to reports, this is
the first time that Carthage has de-
feated them on the Castle Heights
grounds.
A number of the loyal rooters ac-
companied the team to Lebanon and
did valiant service. Castle Heights
plays in Carthage May 4th.
Don't forget the two big games

start at $3.50. The only thing we have
been lacking in our games so far is

Girls To Wear Plain FrOcks
At Graduation

Lexington, Tenn.-The 81 young
women composing the 1921 gradual
ing class at the Lexington Senior High
School Of this city, have just advised
Principal Charles F. Skinner that they
have, by unanimous vote, decided to
wear only the simplest and plainest
frocks at the annual commencement
in June this year, instead of the fancy
and expensive graduating gowns
which has been the vogue of previous
graduating classes A number of
these young women declare that they
intend to make with their own hands
the gowns that they will wear on this
occasion.
Principal Skinner has approved the
spirit in the young women, and when
the decision of the class was communi-
icated to the board of education at it's
last night the members of
that body heartily commended this
example of practical economy, which
it is hoped viii be a precedent.

FOrd's Greed on
Borrowing Money

In the last issle of his weekly pub
LEGATION, Henry Ford, writing about
borrowing, said:
''The time for a business man to
borrow money, if ever, is when he
does not need it. If he really needs
it, it is usually a sign that he needs
something else first. The use of mon
ey in business is extremely limited
1t cannot be the substitute of repairs
and requirements. If granary is
losing out through rats, the cure is
not to put in more grain but to stop
the rat-holes. The business mans
best loan is made of himself-his
brains, interest, application. A bust
ness cannot be cured by money poul-
tees from the bank, but by surgical
operations within. Loss is corrected
by building up the processes of gain
not by borrowing. The cure of every
business difficulty is within itself. In
ternal difficulties must be met by in
ternal corrections, not by external bor-
rowings.
