"I wish you could see the pile
of 'citers I have received as a
result of that little piece you put
in ttoe paper about my canning:
outfit," said Mr. A. H. Mangum
the other day "I'll bet I have
received as many as seventy five
letters from firms and individuals
who want to sell me canning
outfits and cans. The Seaboard
railroad got hold of the
piece, and then the Manufacturers
Record got it. They have
had the laugh on me at home
about so many letters, but I have
learned a lot about the buisuess,"
The article referred to was a
short little notice about a proposed
canning outfit to be in
stalled in the room adjourning
the Coca-Cola Bottling plant.
No effort was made to get it
into notice all over the country,
but it got there all right.

are plowing," said a man the
other day. "They just plow right
out into the wagon routes and
make it ride like going across a
potato patch all the time. Can't
you say something that will
cause some of them to think a
little while they plow?"
Well, we are not shure we can
stop anybody from this annoying
habit, but we are willing to try.
Most roads through the sand
hills are just barely wide enough
for a buggy or wagon. This
little narrow so called road is
used as a ditch and dumping
ground. The rows and terraces
are made to empty right into the
road, and at some places a bank
is made to keep the water and
loose sand in the road, thus forming
an artificial sand bed for

every poor beast that come;
along to drag through. Th :
plows are rarely lifted until th ;
sand has been pushed int*?
the routes, and roots and stump ,
are dragged out of tlie field; .
into the roads to test the cussing I
possibilities of any unfortunate \
who may have to pass that way.
If the people can not make
the roads better, they can at
least quit making them worse.
In a few hours on a wet day
with 2 mules, a heavy plow and
a drag wonders can be worked
on a stretch of road. Hut if there
are those who can't be induced
to do a little road work instead
of going fishing when it rains
they might at least show enough
Iconsideration to let the roads
alone. A sand road with two
feet outside of each route where
grass and weeds may grow becomes
a better road than if the
edges of the road are kept cleaner
than the field adjoining.
A man is judged by his roads.
In one of his sermons here a
year or two ago J. W. Little told
of a man of his acquaintance
who was so sorry that he wouldnot
provide wood and food for
his family but would loaf and
drink. Not content with bringing
this unhappy lot to bis family
he would occasionally beat bis
wife very cruelly. His neighbor
talked with him and prayed
for him, but to no avail. Then
they took him out, and to use
the preachers language, "When
they couldn't preach nor pray
the devil out of him, they whipped
it out." The man was given
a genuine flogging and then he
reformed.
Uncle Sam has prayed and
preached at the Kaiser and now
he proposes to join forces with
his neighbors and help whip the
devil out of him.
