Two of our citizens are having 2
hard time battling with ailments:
Otto Ramage has been suffering for
many weeks from the effect of hav-
ing a tooth extracted, and he is still
unable to do anything. Dewey Cald-
well underwent an operation for
pital. They are hard-working men
and earn their bread by the sweat
of the brow; have families to sup
port, and no doubt but what neigh
borly help would be greatly appre-
ciated. THE busiest man we know
of is holding revival meeting
over at Mt. Carmel Some of the
people will have to walk, or stay at
home, or "sit in Darkness" as this
busy man will not have time to
tinker with old automobiles and
light plants until he gets through
with this "big meetin" job. The
conference minutes report him as
Rev. M. r. oho.--Carpenters and
workmen of the WPA program are
constructing quite a number of san
itary toilets. The work is done
free of charge, the owner paying
only for the material.--A meeting
is to be held here soon, conducted
by Mrs Olive Thorla, to show the
good housewives how to best pre-
pare potatoes for the table. To our
way of thinking, most people put
the best and most nutritious part
OF the potato off to the side of their
plate.--Only a few more gallons
left Of that mill favored honey dew
cane syrup, and it is zoe cheaper
than what many are having to pay
The town of Caldwell has, by a
large vote, rid itself of the legal
sale of beer, and it's state liquor
store. The temperance people are
rejoicing, $50 are the bootleggers.
Our way of settling the drink prob
lem is not to use it, but only few
people think as we do, so that the
idea is neither popular nor practi-
cal. Most everybody likes to i'm
bibe little because they are abso-
lutely certain, in their own mind,
that they can quit whenever they
decide to do SO. The late and il
lustrious William Jennings Bryan
didn't think so. He said, in sub
stance, that the Almighty never
made a man SO strong that he
could be certain that the drink
habit wouldn't get him. If we were
citizen of Caldwell, or McCon-
nelsville for that matter, and ad-
dicted to the drink habit, we would
probably continue on just the same.
AS long as we are running at large
we do not think that anyone, or any
number of persons, or the whole
town, could keep us from getting
drunk, if we wanted to- We believe
that as long as we have the money
we could get the stuff to drink. And
if we didn't have the money we be-
lieve we could learn how to make
some kind of home-brew that
would get us up in the air. Any
kind of a slOp would do if we want
ed to get drunk bad enough. But
there is one thing about us, if we
were bound to "get on a toot," that
we believe could be cured. If we
were to get drunk and go out on the
street, and begin to be too loqua-
cious, and undertake to "show off I"
and make fool of ourself, which is
always an easy matter, we could be
arrested and jailed until sober, and
then fined, and if that fine could
only be paid by hard labor in some
kind of pen or inclosure with an
open side next to the street 50 that
the passer-by could see what was
going on, and we had a ball and
