' TIF WHEN A LAD MEETS A M.\ll>. Old heads who forget that they were once young And much aiuuse ment in watching a young lad when he meets a maid 011 the street. We 1 stood on a street corner the other day and watched an eminent citizen of mature years as he in turn gazed upon a blushing youth. No. we won't tell you of the amus- ' ing dignity and decorum of the lad and the maid, for we have been guilty of the same antics away back in days that will never come again. But it . was amusing to our eminent citizen ahd we think he was quite as amus- J ing to us. In fact. we ure not ! through smiling yet?at the eminent j one. Rut the next time you are on the j street and a lad and a maid meet ^ face to face, and you suspect that ( there is a tender feeling between ( them, just remember the golden days of your own youth, and see not { those things that you are not supposed to see. Oftimes an innocent amile is a r snait tnat cuts deep. + STRANGER THAN FICTION. t Just why is it that sonic people always oppose the industrial devel-1 opment of this town and community? Why is it they use their influence to throttle every scheme that prom( Ises for the upbuilding and commerrial advancement of the community? ] What have they to gain personally ( through Such a course? True, they would pay a few cents ( additional in taxes. while their property would increase as many lollars in valuation. One live citizen who has given ,, the subject considerable thought , suggests that people who oppose , local commercial advancement have j a selfish motive at heart. He v thinks they fear a loss of personal j prestige through the bringing into t our midst of new blood and new in- t dustrial enterprises. He believes the t reactionists can see a possible wan- \ ing of their power through the in- r troduction of new and up-to-date methods, and that rather than re- < tire to the rear they seek to muixle 1 the growth of the community. This may or may not be true, but < the fact that some hidden influence is constantly seeking to retard the ' commercial and industrial expan- ! sion of this town and this eommuni- f ty. and it is the duty of every wide awake citizen to seek a solution to the mystery and put an end to it. j* This town should advance with A the rest of the State and nation, and ' to do so we must have the loyal cooperation of all citizens. The hustling dog always has a . run stomacn, wnue tne lazy and indifferent one eats when he has an r opportunity. Which class are you In? f 41 ( I.KT'S TAliK AND DO. j Fall Is coming on and it is quite f time for us to get busy and push ( the agitation for good roads?for ( the best roads in this whole section | of the State. , Nothing much will be accomplish- ? ed if only a few do the talking. It j needs a general talkfest, with ev- s erybody and demanding better roads at the same time. VV'hen the noise r gets loud enough some one will hear > it and then we will get the road im- t provements we so greatly need. The fact that you may live in f town is no reason why you should not talk for road improvement. Hotter country roads mean just as ' much to the town man as they do to the farmer, for what is good tor one is of equal value to the other. If we want to keep pace with other I communities in this State we must ' have better roads. Hauling produce to market over heavy roads is not a profitable business to any farmer, ' and we don't want anything in this t ronvmunltv that dries nnt i.ocrin o.wi pnd with profit. f We oan talk learnedly on the ele- ' vation of humanity and kindred subjects if it will serve as a balm ' to our consciences. but everybody ' knows that everybody ?Jso is out ' for every dollar he ran pather in. And we ran not annoy any preat. ntinvher of these dollars with a lot. of bum roads. That may be a blunt 1 and cold blooded statement, hut it is a fart, and we all know it. Let everybody pet mighty busy < and po after the best roads obtain-!' able. Suppose it does cost us a cent ' or two each to pet them. For every ' rent we spend we will pet ten in return. And at most, the expenditure would only amount to a few smokes j per man. , We are always ready to set aside , a certain date for some specific object?except pood roads. Now let's , vary the order of procedure and de-: clare our pood roads year, and.' live up to our declaration. If we all apltate for pood roads J and po aftc- even better roads, the j end of If Id will see a wonderful 1m- t proveinent In our country highways. i "i IK LANOAftTKK >TEWR FR1 A FKI,IA?V AND fUH LOWJK. "~ Some people are lodge crazy and join everything iu Sight. They are called "joiners." )thers are pessimistic and can sec no good in any lodge. But there is much good to be derived from membership in any of the legitimate lodges that flourish everywhere. provided the lodge habit is not carried to excess. It creates a spirit of comradeship among the members that is seldom found elsewhere. If a a member is in distress or difficulty, his lodge promptly comes to his relief and tides him over the rough places and nto smoother waters. If he is sick hey cheer him with their presence, ?nd watch at his bedside, and see hat his family does not sufTer durng his incapacity. And in many. >ther ways they are a distinct beneit one to another. The lodge is the symbol of the >rotherhood of man. and its tenets ire founded upon the Bible and ad-1 rocate the elevation of the human ace. The fellow who identifies himself vith some good lodge and iives up o us learnings win be a better man md citizen for the few hours he derotes to its meetings. + AS TI1K KDITOR SUES IT. The people of this country, and 'specially the law makers, should ake warning from the threatened ailway strike and give prompt atention to the question of arbitraion of disputes beaween capital and abor. A great strike involving all of the irincipal railroads of the country vould result in industrial paralyiis from which the nation would not ecover in an hundred years. It vould give foreign Industries a ead over the United States which ve might never regain. It would eopardise capital to such an exent that men of means would hesiate to invest their wealth In naional productive enterpises. It vould prostrate the business of the ountry. Arbitration could settle these inlustrial disputes without difficulty, >ut arbitration can not always be nvoke^ unless there is a law which ompels both sides to arbitrate. ! Let us have such a law. and let is have it at once, before another spectre arises to menace the peace >f the land. I Some people are always happy, tome are constitutionally miserable, vhile others have a difficult time deeding which they prefer. It has been generally assumed hat the stock of the railroads of h?> country is owned by a comparaIvely few wealthy people, when as *? i matter of fact ,t is just the re- " rerse. Reports filed with the Interitate Commerce Commission, as re- pj juired by law, show that the ma- . rl*v nf sl< ... .v wi niwv n uuiun o air prupir Ul omparatively small means, and that 8l< his stock is held in comparatively A ?very walk of life.
