LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAL

LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall !;
instead
Of words of blame, or proof OF SO and
so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that. no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is
wet,
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul sc
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
If something good be said.
And so 1 charge We, by the thorny
crown,
And by the cross on which the Saw.
Jour bled,
And by your own souls hope for fail

waited until the river froZe so they
drive across to Pra. du Chen and
market their hogs and wheat. A lit
tie cash meant great deal TO the
settlers although they received what
the modern farmer would consider 4
pittance for their products. The
drives were made for long distances
and it was no uncommon sight TO see
long string of wagons laden with
farm products crossing the ice at tl.>'

CROWLEY BROTHERS
SHIP IN HOLSTEINS

The action of Crowley Brothers in
shipping into the Gallatin valley a
herd of 36 head of high grade and
high producing Holstein heifers from
the dairying state of Wisconsin, and
offering them for sale at a public
auction TO be held next Tuesday after
noon, April 29, at 80 o'clock at the
County Fair grounds at the ex
treme north end of Grand avenue,
extreme north end of Grand avenue,
is to be warmly commended by every
progressive citizen in Gallatin coun-
ty who is believer in the now firm
ly established theory that the raising
of dairy cows and the production Of
dairy products should be encouraged
up to that point whereby the supply
more nearly equals the demand than
is now the case.
Fourteen head of these fine Hol-
stein cattle are yearlings, the others
being springers. They were all per-
sonally selected from herds with high
milk and butter fat production re-
cords. The sale is billed to start
promptly at 1:30 o'clock, according
to a display advertisement appearing
elsewhere in this paper. Tom Gilker-
son will cry the sale, which has every
indication at this time of being well
attended.
