PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.

men to advertise, and believe that
business success can be obtained
in no other manner, we propose tc
practice what we preach, and there

best local paper in this congres
sional district. It is a journal
which may be taken with the mosi
implicit confidence. Its pages
will never be soiled by anything
objectionable, and its advertising
columns cannot be purchased foi
immoral announcements at anj
price. It is emphatically a loca
journal, designed to be a hom<
history of the living present. Nc

will be allowed to go unnoticed
No movement for the benefit oi
society will be allowed to pass un

Any newspaper is the companion
and friend of the family, but the
local paper is one identified with
the interests of the home. It is
conducted by those whom you
know. Its columns are filled with
what is of special value to you. In
its prosperity you have a vital in
terest, and to its prosperity you
can best contribute by giving
your support and patronage. It is
your neighbor. Your duty is first
to know your wants. Its interests
are your interests. It is your
friend, it, in preference to any and
all others. No outside or foreign
paper can possibly have claims up

V
on you until your duty is discharg
ed to the local journal. Of him
who says he can get a city paper
much larger than his own local
journal for the same amount of
money, we would inquire: Do
the city papers say anything about
your country, its climate, water,
springs, healthfulness, soil, pro
duct, stock-raising, mills, minerals
schools, churches, roads, bridges
or other improvements! Nothing.
Do they mention your public meet
ings, your town and county news,
and other thousand and one mat
ters of interest which your home
paper publishes without pay! Not
much. Do they ever say a word,
gratis, calculated to draw to your
town or county and aid in bring
ing in immigrants and developing
the health of your community!
Not a line. And yet there are
men who take such contracted
I views of the matter that unless
they get as many square inches of
reading matter in their own county
paper as they do in a city paper,
they think they are not getting the
worth of their money. Your local
newspaper works for its own town,
does all it can to build up the
place, advance the interest of its
j citizens, draw trade to the town,
put^ money into the pockets of the
business men, and adds to the well
being of all. Such a paper is en
titled to the liberal patronage from
the town and community it works
for.
Our columns will prove of great
value to advertisers, our subscrip
tion list enabling us to place the
announcements for our business
men before a greater number and a
better class of readers than can
any other medium, and at much
less expense. We shall give as
much as to the reading matter
columns, ever striving to keep
them fresh, newsy and attractive.
Our subscription rates will remain
unchanged. A local journal can
not compete with the steam pres
ses and immense circulations of
city dailies. Our jobbing depart
ment is provided with a line of
type and ornaments suitable for
all commercial printing, and we
always keep on hand the best
brands of paper, stock, etc. All
orders will be filled expeditiously,
and satisfactorily, and at city
prices. We invite a call, and
promise to make any favors shown
us, beneficial to our patrons.
If there is anything that tortures
an editor more than anything else
it is to publish a $15 or $20 obitu
ary notice about some old, promi
nent citizen who never had the
manhood to take his county paper.
Editors frequently put in such
notices at request of relatives and
friends, but it grinds them to
eulogize a man to the skies who
was too stingy to support his home
paper. A three line notice is all
such fellows deserve.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
As our heavenly Father has seen
fit to call our beloved Hal Free
man to his reward, we, the mem
bers of Gum Wood Camp No.
108, Woodmen of the World, bow
in humble submission to His di
vine will, and think of our esteem
ed sovereign in the light of a ful
ler understanding in the presence
of the beloved Savior.
In the death of Mr. Freeman, a
father has lost an honorable, up
right son, also, Gum Wood Camp
has lost an esteemed and valuable
member. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we extend to the
bereaved family our heartfelt sym
pathy. We realize that words
cannot comfort the bereaved or
fill the empty place of a dear son,
and while we cannot understand
why such worthy young men are
called so early in life we know
that God knows best and does all
things well.
Resolved, That while we mourn
the death of our brother, we ex
tend any aid or council to the be
reaved family that may lie in our
power, thus carrying out the spirit
as well as the letter of our order.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Wood
ruff County News for publication,
a copy of the paper sent to the
family and a copy spread upon the
minutes of our camp in remembran
ce of one whose cherry smile and
kindly greeting we miss so much.

“If there is one time more than
another,” says an experienced
married man, “when a woman
should be left alone, it is when a
line of clothes comes down in the
mud.”
The way to build up a commun
ity is for every person in it, who
can, to put some money into indus
tries that give the people employ
ment, and push the industries to
success. Industries that last all
the year round are the best; but
those that last part of the year are
better than none. The most val
uable power on earth is human
power, and when it is not employ
ed it is not only lost but it also
consumes part of what others earn.
Work creates wealth; work sets
money in motion; work pays debts,
work is the vital power in prosper
ity, and that city, that community,
and that nation whose people are
idle, are poor, and poor in propor
tion to the number that work and
the time they work. Heaven’s
greatest earthly blessing to any
people is to give them honest,
remunerative work.
