The lark came up to meet the
sun and carol forth its lay; the
farmer’s son took down his gun
aud at him blazed away. The busy
bee arose at 5 and hummed the
meadows o’er; the farmer’s wife
went for his hive and robbed him
of his store. The little ant rose
early, too, his labors to begin; the
greedy sparrow that way flew and
took his antship in. O, birds and

Don’t forget that your neighbor,

be an end of that form of govern
ment without it. Be tolerant,
therefore, or rather not tolerant
but rational, patriotic and good
natured. Stand by your convic
tions and let your neighbor stand

There is no class, community, or
condition of society that is im
proved by waiting for outside as
sistance, for regardless of all talk
about helping each other, the suc
cessful man or woman gets there
only by helping themselves.
There never was a preacher or
president, poet or politician who
could please everybody. There
never was a tinker or tailor, sol
dier or sailor who could suit us
all. Show us a doctor or lawyer,
a merchant or sawyer who pleases
the whole multitude. The Lord
himself and all the angels in heav
en have never half succeeded in
comforting the human race. There
is not a thing on earth or any
where else that meets the approval
of all mankind. Then it would be
nonsense for editors or correspon
dents to fret when their honest
efforts fail to please a certain few.
Write with sound judgment, an
honest purpose and a decent pen,
and the majority of sensible peo
ple will rise up and call you bles
sed.
The country is just now scoured
by enthusiastic hunters, with $10
dogs and $50 guns, who shoot
away $1 worth of ammunition,
wear out $5 worth of clothes, and
spend $2 worth of time to get 30c
worth of game.
Fifty years ago there was some
excuse for bad roads, for our
country was poor. Now it is rich
there is no excuse. A good road
is always to be desired, and is a
source of comfort and convenience
to every traveler. Good roads at
tract population, as well as good
schools and churches. Good roads
improve the value of property, so
that it is said a farm lying five
miles from market connected by a
bad road, is of less value than an
equally good farm connected by a
good road. A larger load can be
drawn by one horse over a good
road than by two over a bad one.
Good roads encourage the greater
exchange of products and com
modities between one section and
another. Good roads are of great
value to railroads as feeders.
Begin to save when you begin to
earn. There is one sure mark of
the coming millionaire. His reve
nues always exceed his expendi
tures. He begins to save as soon
as he begins to earn. Capitalists
trust the saving young man. It
is not capital your seniors require,
it is the man who has proved he
has the business habits which
make capital. Begin at once to
lay up something. It is the first
hundred dollars saved which tells.
And here is the prime condition of
success, the great secret; concen
trate your energy, thought and
capital exclusively upon the busi
ness in which you are engaged.
Having begun in one line, resolve
to fight it out on that line, to lead
in it; adopt every improvement,
have the best machinery and know
the most about it. Finally, do not
be impatient, for as Emerson says,
“No one can cheat you out of ul
timate success but yourselves.”
One day last week, while sad
and dreary, weak and weary across
the unswept floor, we heard at
first a gentle tapping, then it be
came an earnest rapping at our
sanctum door. “Come in!” we
said while we pondered, and in
silence still we wondered what for
us could be in store; then the
doorbolt softly turning, in he
walked; our cheek was burning,
thought of crimson gore! ‘Are
you the man what does the writ
ing! (what will rhyme with this
but fighting! quickly thought we
o’er.) Sir, we are,’ we gently
told him, nodding to the boys to
hold him if he tried to beat us
sore. Then you will please give
credit opposite that little debt for
a dollar and a quarter more; I like
your paper and will take it as long
as you strive to make it as good as
it has been before.’ We jumped!
He dodged, thus missed him, even
if the boys did roar; so seldom
treated in this manner we felt in
clined to shout hozanner, only
this and nothing more.

One of the best and brightest
things we can give, is kind words.
They have well been likened to the
bright flowers of earth’s existence.
Use them everywhere, but espec
ially around the fireside; they will
make a paradise out of a hovel.
Nothing can heal a wounded heart,
or cheer a crushed spirit like kind
words. Let us not be so careful
how we use them, for they are the
greatest blessing earth can give.

Would it not be well for parents
who have children attending
school in the town to take interest
enough in the schools and their
children to visit the schools at
least one time during the term!
We hear parents complaining of
the schools, who have no more
knowledge of how they are being
conducted than a resident of China
has. We do know that strangers
who have visited our schools have
gone away and said that we have
the best schools of any town in
the country. What should the
people of a town feel prouder of
than good schools! What will
bring a good class of people to any
town more rapidly than good
schools! Parents go to your
schools and see for yourselves,
and don’t accept idle reports about
your schools and the teachers as
facts.
You Read the
Other Fellow’s Ad
You are reading this one.
That should convince you
that advertising in these
columns is a profitable
proposition; that it will
bring business to your
store. The fact that the
other fellow advertises is
probably the reason he is
getting more business than
is falling to you. Would
it not be well to give the
other fellow a chance
To Read Your Ad.
In These Columns.
There is a sowing time and a
time to reap. The wise man said :
“Bring a child up in the way he
should go, and when he is old he
will not depart from it.” So it is
with the boys of today who are al
lowed to run the streets till nine
or ten o’clock at night. This does
not mean our town alone, as most
all towns are similarly afflicted for
an affliction it surely proves to be
to many families in the after life
of the boys. Parents, see after
your boys, and the company they
keep. It will be worth more than
gold to you and them in the years
to come.
The place that gives a man his
living is entitled to his best efforts
to advance everything calculated to
benefit the place and the communi
ty. No man has a right to live in
a live town who seeks to enrich
himself and not actively identify
himself with its interests. To be
classed as a drone, or chronic kick
er and opposed to every measure
believed to be for the good of the
citizens is a stigma that should at
tach to no man in the corporation.
The improvements necessary to be
made and the manner of making
them a monument to the enter
prise and intelligence of the citi
zens is the duty each person owes
to the place in which he lives. No
man has a right to block legisla
tion in his town simply because he
is not personally benefited by the
proposed improvements or per
chance may have to pay a little to
ward it, for in the end it will no
doubt have proven a wise proceed
ing. Let all join in any move
ment calculated to better our little
city in the year 1907-8, and trust
the results will justify the action
and meet the highest anticipations
for a prosperous future.

The only men of worth to a town
or community are those who for
get their own selfish ends long
enough and are liberal enough in
their ideas to encourage every pub
lic and private enterprise, who are
ready with brain and purse to
push every project calculated to
build up the town and enhance its
importance. The enterprise and
push of a town or community is
the foundation of its permanent
success. A town may as well pre
pare for its funeral as to become
indifferent to the enterprise in its
midst. Men who come to a town
to make their future home, who
can not see far enongh before
them to see that money placed ju
diciously in a public enterprise of
their own town will be a hundred
fold in the appreciation of their
property, are to be pitied.
WHAT THE TROUBLE IS.
The trouble with the small girl
is that she isn’t bigger.
The trouble with the big girl is
that every pair of scales she steps
on gives her a weigh.
The trouble with a great many
editors is that they don’t think
one-half they write.
The'trouble with the small boy
is that his big sister never was a
small boy herself and so she does
n’t know how the small boy feels.
The trouble with the average
husband is that he knows his wife
knows he isn’t so big a man as he
wants the world to think he is.
The trouble with the young man
in love is that he is insane enough
to think that all the other young
men are making just as big fools
of themselves about his best girl
as he is.
The trouble with the young
woman’s love is that she doesn’t
know whether she really loves the
young man for himself alone or
for the caramels he brings and the
prospect of a solitaire diamond to
dazzle the other girls.
The trouble with the average
wife is that her husband is much
more prodigal with his prostesta
tions of affection than he is with
his money, and that he does not
waste much of either unless he1
wants a button sewed on.
T. ECK SIMPSON
In the proper column will be
found the announcement of Coun
ty Clerk T. Eck Simpson as a can
didate for the office of Sheriff of
Woodruff County.
The subject of this article has a
warm spot in the heart of almost
every citizen of the county M
Simpson who has served the coni'
ty the past few years as (W
Cierk, has without a single doubt
made one of the best officials th
county has ever had or will e
have. He has served every bodl
alike; has tried his very best t
please everyone and guard the in°
terests of his county, always being
found at his post of duty ready to
serve the good people that put him
there We will say, (and have
heard many others say) that we
have several times visited the
court house, on business, and al
ways found Mr. Simpson at his
post of duty.
Mr. Simpson does not underesti
mate the work and responsibilities
of the Sheriff’s office, to which he
now aspires, and asto his being
capable of attending to its duties
no one can question. If the vo
ters honor him with the sheriff’s
offiee it will receive his personal
attention and they will be shown
the self-same courteous treatment
that has been given them in the
past. We are sure that his con
stant endeavor will be to make the
best Sheriff the county has ever
had; so that when his term has
been completed as much will be
said of his work as Sheriff as has
been said of his work as Clerk.
With a fair primary election,
we predict that Mr. Simpson will
make a close race for the above
offiee.
