DR.. j. E BROWNS
DEMANDED EACH HOUR

Dr. J. E. Brown, perhaps on of the
most busy men in the county of Nc
Dowell and who is generally conceded
to be one the most efficient physi-
clans in the State, hasn't hardly time
for decent nights rest, his parctice
being so imperative.
His practice and professional SER
vice being so complete and efficient
among both white and cOlored and
the fact that his service is not auto
matte or perfunctory service, has won
for DIR. Brown perhaps the geatest,
praise of any Doctor. whether white
Or black, and this is no Camouflage,
neither is it done to sweet DR.. Browns
head, as the trite statement some
times becomes current, but Brown is
o. X. The white physicians like him.
They know his ability and they know
he knows his 'INJUNS."

THE MAN COUNTS

Roosevehs Name Given Convention
LET'S LANDSLIDE
WITH ALT. LANDOE

The Republican National Convcn-
ton has fulfilled the fondest expect
atoms of the American people and
made Alfred w. Landon the standard
bearer of human freedom against the
tyranny of the New Deal.
Fr0m that evening in November
last when Governor l.andon addressed
the Ohio State Chamber of Commerce
IN Cleveland. there has been a grow
ing sentiment that the budget balan-
GER, the tax rSluccr and the debt
payer Of Kansas is the man needed
in Washington to render the same
sort Of service for the nation.
The achievements in Kansas We're
timed within the same period in
which President Roosevelt was umgal
ancing the Federal budget, increaS-
ing Federal taxes and increasing the
national debt.
Governor I4andon has that warmth
of sympathy, that attractive personal
lily, that charm of manner that lack
Of artificiality which betoken the gen
uineness of his opinions and the
strength of his character.
Alf I-andon is not IL dictator. He
lacks the manner of Il dictator. As
he led in Kansas, without driving so
he will lead in Washington.
The Republican Party enters the
campaign under the leadership of one
who has shown that he is content to
lead, who has none of those symp-
toms which translate leadership into
mastery, as translate the will of the
people into thongs to bind them in
slavery.
The contrast between the opposing
candidates of the major parties i'm the
presidential campaign is the fairest
definition of the issues that may be-
attempted. Somerset, Pa, Herald

Col. Nh Franklin

This week Welch and keystone
have been graced by the presence of
Col. n. II. Franklin and Son "Tcm-
my" of 81 LarchmOuth Drive. wy.
oming, Ohio.
In yester days and years we often
spoke of the Sage" meaning n man
of experienced wisdom and venerable
age. We can rightly apply this to Col
Onel Franklin except the venerable
age. His silvery locks does not imply
old age Or length of years hut simply
add to anu make more emphatic that
master mind.
If there is such Il thing a walk
ing encyclopedia we have it in the
Colonel. His mind knows no forget
ting. A memory like an elephant and
belongs to the same party &C. o. P.).
He can give yo uthe history of Nc
Dowell County, its towns and it's old
citizens as none other can.
We may rightly call him King. no.
New York PlutOcrat or European
King. We feel they have no right to
their glory. We mean the genuine
king of men. The kind whose life in
fluences mankind and the common
man is proud to look mp and call him
master"
Away with the cheap artificial
kings and give this king n chance.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
LICENSE GRANTED
Meeting Harmonious Throughout; All
Applications Granted For Business

! sa%ss
| Thursday night of this week being
regular meeting night at which time
the business concerns wanting to con-
tinue to do business and those want
in gto make money under the rules
and regulations of the city, appear or
have represented to appear for them,
filled the city Hall and were there il,
full force and virtue. The wide-a-
wake activities demonstrated that
times must be good in Keystone since
every one who has been doing a licen-
sed business in the past, was on hand
with his hat in hand, his checks ac-
Icompanying application for cOntin-
uation in business appealing to the
Mayor, Recorder and council to con-
tinue. All of which showed that no
not only were they anxious to stay
in keystone, do business at the same
old stands but that they didn't want
anybody else to take their places.
The Mayor, J. J. Stuart, as usual
was at his post with every elected
member of the Council except Mr..
Joe Pals who was unavoidably de-
tanned.
They all, with one accord and per-
feet harmony entered into the spirit
of the business to which they were
elected and like clOckwOrk all went
about their duties in friendly and
an unprecedented spirit. variety of
business matters were taken up and
because of the lac kof spac and time,
suffice it to say one of the very best
business meetings held in years was
held Thursday night The Mayor was
positive and in his ''SOckfeet" when
it comes to the matter of dealing out
justice to the public. He has not any
''Pets" an dwants any and everybody
to know it.
A CommitteeOf ladies' representing
the parents and Teachers Association
in the persons of Mesdames Matte
Thornton, Chairman of the County
Parent and Teachers Association of
this County, Ailene Parsons and Mae
Martin constituted the committee
They appeared before the council in
the behalf of a play ground and n
musement Department for the boys
and girls of the arce. and they were
given most respectful hearing.
Their Mission was CLEARLY and sus-
cinctly presented by Mrs Thornton,
supported forcefully by the other
members of the Committee and II
motion at once prevailed assuring
them of the support Of the council.
MIR. r. w. link, leading rcprescn,
tativc of the Boy Scouts appeared
and made a very effective speech and
appeal for assistance in putting over
the project Of the no yScout move
ment and without hesitancy, the city
council moved to assist in the prOjcc;
This was also made worthwhile in
that the bigness of the Council in its
efforts in the past had already con
trfbutcd to the movement. Mr.. link
went away with smiles from one ear
to the other in appreciation, saying as
he left the hall that all self respectful
and progressive people should never
turn men down like the present coun
ell whose hearts are as big as the uni
verse and pulsates for the welfare OF
the people without regard to petty
politics.
