State, C \ Arthur Guy lEmpey, author of"Ovei the Top" is trying to get hack int; the service. He served as a machin< gun man with the British army unti he was incapacitated from wound: and discharged. He still lacks a grea deal of being what he once was; bu he does not think he has "done hi. bit." He wants to go to the Iron again with the American army an< he lias offered to the president. Thi president has ordered his re-examma tion, and it' it is possible to let hin in again, he will be re-called -York ville Enquirer. Guy Empey is the boy who wrol< ,the story which will be-in in Th< Herald and News with this issue ant a few chapters will appear 111 eacr paper. It is a very interesting ston and is a tiue story giving tiie expe riences of one who knows what h< is talking about. You want io 'y sure not to miss an issue bccausf once you begin to read the story vo will want the next paper even beforwe can 'ssue it . The ''split log'' drag is coming ir for extraordinary praise just now Six weeks auo it looked as if all ou best roads had gone to ruin and the. never would be good again. Hut tin general testimony is that the road are getting right again. The dra^ > what has done it. The different town ship supervisors have been putting ii full work and good work, and th< roads are now in pretty good shape The split-log dra<r is a great insti tntion?especially when it has a goo; township supervisor behind ii. -York ville Enquirer. And so we are glad that the oh split log drag has found so strong am so good a friend as the Yorkville En quirer. It is good tool, but it i true of the split lo<r just as it is o other igood tools, unless von hav< some brain and *- diligence am skill behind the tool not wortl much. This is a fine time to put tli roads in fairly good condition "ov th proper application of the drag. Tf is also true that to get the bes results, as a farmer told us the othe day. many of our clay roads shouii have a top dressing of some kind o v? fliof frvr\ /? raccjiti1 UXAJ.I lAi LU io V UU1UJ CiJCtU Vil V^OCUij may be found alongside the road ii easy reach in nearly, if not an, sections. Di;t even on the rends as t::c, are the use of the drag helps wonder fully and costs very little of ir.Dor o time and if used regularly after eac: rain the time and labor are lessened 1844 lensed State OF *1 Kinl/ A m uaim u erry, South Ca d the Comptroller o t the Close of Business RESOURCES Rents ds, Installments m Banks and U.
