Team Work Counts on the
Road to Success
“A house divided against it
self can not stand.”
The words are true in all ages
and with all people.
That failure will invariably
follow disunion is as certain as
that success results from unity
of purpose and action.
Fortunate indeed is that
town that is blessed with a
citizenship that can come to
gether as a unit whenever the
town’s interest calls. It argu
es well for the breadth of mind
of its citizens that they a?n see
beyond their purely personal
affairs and catch a view of
piosperity in the large.
,But the real cause of dis
union in the average town is
not that its citizens are so deep- i
ly engrossed in their own per
sonal affairs, but that one is
jealous and envious of another,
one clique supicious * and dis-j
trustful to another. Not only
this, but each is really willing
to forego any advancement if
by so doing the other may be
thwarted.
This is a deplorable state
for any town to fall into. It is
sure death to all progress, and
not only that, but is invariably
the direct cause of that town
being left behind in the march
of progress.
We are well aware that all
communities have their fac
tions and their divisions of sen
timent and interests. We are
equally certain that this fact
need in nowise deter the town
from seizing every opportunity
to further its interests in every
available way. If men could
once be brought to see that by
thwarting the interests of the
town through their opposition
to a faction, they were injur
ing their community, surely
they would take a different
view of thing’s.
The man who deliberately
stands in the way of his com
munity’s progress is disloyal.
This word has an ugly sound,
but we cai^ise no other, be
cause no pprer so well fits the
offense. Placed in broader cir
cumstances, the offense would
be magnified. No man’s per
sonal interest am* and no man’s
personal animosities can for a
moment weigh in the scale with
the welfare of his community,
and the man who permits them
to do so is as trruly disloyal as
the man who deliberately plots
against his country. There is
a difference only in the magni
tude of the offense.
Fortunate indeed is the town
which, when any move affect
ting the general welfare is be
ing considered, can drop its
factional disputes and put a
united shoulder to the wheel
in the public interest.
No man has the right to in
llict his personal grievances on
his community and compel it
to suffer because of his own
sore toe. Yet this is just what
he does when he is not willing
to join in with the other side
in every matter that is
for the advancement of the
community interest.
We have said that all towns
have factions. Towns will al
ways have them. This does
not mean that the towns pro
gress is retarded by them.. In
many cases the factions serve
to stimulate rivalry in achieve
ment. Where this is the case j
they are benificial.
A wholesome slogan for any
town would be: Go after an
opportunity and land it; then
if we must scrap, let it be over
a division of the spoils.”

BARNBURNERS AGAIN
IN EVIDENCE AT ROSIE
Miscreant Who Tries to Fire
Ira Castleberry Bam Is
Chased Into Hills
Charles Robinson, special of
ficer detailed on guard duty
at Rosie, to protect the prop
erty of Dave Wyatt and others
who have been frequently
warned against cattle dipping,
and whose barns several efforts
have been made to burn, while
on guard late Tuesday evening,
fired five shots at a man at
tempting to make his way
through bushes toward a barn
belonging to Ira Castleberry.
The man evidently intended to
fire the barn. Castleberry has
received the same warnings
as those sent Wyatt, warning
him against dipping his cattle
and threatening destruction of
his property and cattle should
he attempt to obey the dipping
laws.
Ira Castleberry and Kelly
Wyatt, residents of Rosie, who
were with Robinson at the time
of the shooting,joined in the
chase and followed the mis
creant for more than a mile
in a southerly direction. The
man, whom they failed to rec
ognize, outdistanced them and
made good his escape into the
hills. Several special offficers
together with farmers living
near Rosie, have been on guard
day and night for more than a
week to prevent the nightriders
from burning bams in the
neighborhood.
