Mr.. N. S. Curtis, of Coalfire, who
stated that he had been informed that
these were the first settlers of the
county, which naturally brings up an
argument against the Pickens Coun-

gives as the first settler of the county
a man by the name of lilly, who set
tied in 1917 near where the town of
Pickensville is now located. As to the
correctness of the statement Mr., Cur

not have railroad facilities for reach

ness in other sections adjacent to
their home county. While this oppo-
lsition has developed it is believed the
citizens who favor the building of a
road parallel with the M. and o. will
not hamper the county in the under
taking and attempt to defeat the bond
issue, but that they will get behind

your county in position where it will
never realize the advantages that 9th
er counties are enjoying that of good

mass meeting of the citizens of the
county has been called by Judge B. G.

There's something almost human
about the ostrich. Rather than face
trouble he buries his head in the
sand, and thus exposes himself, rath-
er recklessly, to whatever may hap
pen. Isn't that just like the fellow
who ducks under the sheets the min
ute the furniture creaks? Lots of
people shut their eyes when they
need them most. In the matter of
buying something, for instance.
They shut their eyes to the import
ance of getting the most for a hard
earned dollar it is possible to get.
And who gets the most for his
money? The man who buys blindly
or the fellow who reads advertise
ments and discovers the things he
really wants and needs? There is

We note in dispatches from Wash
ington that as reward for releasing
about Twenty Americans who have
been held prisoners in Russia by
the Lenine- Trotsky government, this
country is to furnish food for about
a million sufferers over there. And
at a distance it looks as though it
might have been well thought out
scheme on the part of the Bolshevist
leaders who are directly responsible
for famine conditions, to secure re
lief from the outside. Naturally
we do not want to Withhold a crust
that will give comfort to a hungry
man, woman or child. Americas
big heart would not be what the
world knows it to be if she refused
even one in distress. But it does
seem to US, everything considered,
that at the same time we are fur
nishing this food there should be
some way devised to punish those
who made its giving necessary and
who imprisoned our own people with
out reason or excuse. Lenine and
Trotsky are red-handed criminals OF
the worst type. We are certain
every good citizen of Ely will agree
with us there. Then why should
they not be called to account for
bringing about conditions which
make it necessary for this or any
other nation to feed million starv-
ing people? We are not making
a bid for another war-nor for even
a skirmish. For it would require
neither a war nor a skirmish to
straighten up that Russian outfit as
it should be Strengthened up. Lock
Lenine and Trotsky in the same
prison in which they locked Ameri
cans, and Russia would not only re
turn thanks to her rescuers but she
would start at once on the road that
leads to happiness and prosperity
And while they are about it include

In talk recently with a good
lady of Ely whose friendship we re
gard highly, she found occasion to
say she regretted that so much auto
MODELLING is INDUCED in on Sunday.
We did not argue with her, nor did
we try to convince her that she has
the wrong view of the matter. But
we sincerely hope that she may
change her opinion. Wen admir-
there is no excuse for Sunday "joy-
riding" which means reckless speed
ing and boisterousness and a com
plete disregard for the rights OF
others as well as disrespect for the
day we are taught to observe as
holy. But when it comes to using
the auto in sensible way on Sun
day, we're for it. And if you'll show
us anything that has done as much
for the church in the past few years
as the auto, We'll be glad to know
what it is. Today the farmer living
many miles from a church can at
tend services without inconvenience
in all kinds of weather. Not only
that but he can take the entire fam
lily and be there in the same length
of time it took him to get ready in
the old days before he had the auto
mobile. He doesn't have long, hot
dusty, tiresome ride home to dinner
after the service, either, now that he
has car. The attendance at all our
rural churches has been greatly in
creased by the auto, and the church
brought closer to the homes of thous-
ands of rural residents all over this
broad land. No, there is no place
for the Sunday "joyrider." But tor
the man who uses his car for the
purpose of furnishing his family and
himself recreation after a hard week
of toll, Sunday autoing is 0. K.

A minister not a thousand miles
from here who is too modest to allow
his name to be used has discovered
new disease. In describing it he
says the patient shows no symptoms
on Saturday night, awakes Sunday
feeling fine and eats a hearty break
fast. About church time the attack
comes on and keeps him or her at
home. About noon the patient feels
easy and hungry and eats a good
dinner. In the afternoon he is able
to walk out. He comes back and
eats hearty supper, but just about
church time there is another attack.
He retires early, sleeps well, and on
Monday morning is able to get I'D
and go to work. The disease never
makes its appearance except on Sun
day, and never interferes with sleep
or appetite. The pastor says there
is no cure for it but faith, and that

ing thousands to the devil. He sug-
gests that very appropriate name
for it would be Sunday sickness. y

Among the local institutions

Commercial club. There are other
bodies such as the Kiwanis club, the
Rotarians and the Lions, whose func-

these is, that they, in a way, act as
special accelerators for the larger
body.

Now when so many are relaxing
