And hoping that before many moons kave passed peace may come to the irarring nations across the seas. Wouldn't this be a good time to use the split log drag. Mr. Shealy and Mr. Shealy promised to use one through the town of Little Mountain and we hope to see the good results when we go down this-week. I ^he card you received is not the MrpflAt /vro/Ht V?n .vnnr noniiP .9/lvveo no and ve will be glad to make the cor rection. We have no doubt there are ?ome. errors and we want to get them corrected. It is possible that the payment you made does not carry jour date beyond the first of the year. Better lok that up. We do not want to take off any name and especially'if you have paid we would regret to take you off. la reading the story of the killing of two men down in Hampton the oth ci uay rrc muioui uvip uut nuuuci "why the ahoriff was telephoned to come unless it was simply to see the deed .-done. The account Bays that tjie Sheriff and his deputy bigged the men not to go on the premises of the j man who did the shooting but they went and as they walked up in the C yard "and on the piazza they were shot down with the sheriff looking on. | Talking about the old court house building and its use, we are going to Quote from an editorial in The Her ald and News of June 19, 1908. Wd have said that The Herald and News j?ade a fight to keep the building, for the purposes that are now being talk ed about, as far back as eight years ago. And we are with the promoters of this scheme today, and will help them all that is in our pawer, but the matter is no new idea for us. Here is what we said then:" - "There are those who think that tfce old court house should be tern . ?own so as to give more room for a wagon yard; there are those wbo tit ink lf^the court house is torn down a park should be provided in the pub -'"lie square and the wagon yard re moved. "Tfcere is no question in our mind as to what should be jdone, but o? ouise wre will be willing to abide Dy whatever a majority of the white peo jie of this county' think* and 9ay on Ae subject./ In any event the wagon yard should be removed from the puo l ttc. square and if the old court house torn down a park should be pro Tfcted. We are of the opinion, how e*etr, that Xewberry now- has an op portunity to provide a good library A/\mfAl^AKlA 1?AAmC3 fAT? Wll* J A.UU WAUIUI bauic X WiUO 1V1 UUl from the country at VeTy little ex pense. While the court house belongs to the people of the county .we are satisfied that, the people of the coun - ty will favor retaining it for this pur pose." We were not only trying to get rest rooms provided, but also a library for the county. And if not then a park. So the park idea was strong with ui then. ^ What we need now is for every on.; to get together and help to accomplish results. A fine county library and * rest rooms and a good auditorium and no cost to go to for the building. It is here and a fine old building it is. * A little money to fit it up and a fund to maintain it and all at little cost. 'Why should it not be? It can be.

I spent all of last week?Christmas week?working day and night, and yet I am satisfied there are a great many mistakes, all of which I will be pleased to correct if my attention is called to them. As stated in the last is&ie, a post card has been sent to each one whose date on the label is not beyond January 1. 1917, and the list is longer than I had hoped it winuu ue. Alter me wuik oi an uiw contestants I find that the list shows, something very near one thousand dollars due on suDScriptions aireefily earned up to the first of January. A good deal of that may be error, but a lot of it is justly due and should be paid, but* I am somewhat like a soldier from the border I met on the train the other day. He was a mem ber of the second regiment and he was home on short furlough. He said if he got out of tftis, * nev6r again would he be patriotic, "never again, and take it from, me." "To hell with the constitution." "Hnrrah for Cole Blease." If I get out of this delin quent list of subscribers, never again will be there a delinquent list. The people you credit, when you go on the cash list, will not pay what they owe, and at the same time they will get mad at you and to spite you will take the other paper and pay for it. i And virtually say, to "h?1 with you.'* 1 do not object to that, but never again will they get The Herald and j News unless they pay for it. When j I credited, I credited everybody re gardless! But what I wanted to say is, that j for this mailing we have not taken I off any whose time is out January 1. 'but they will come off next mailing unless they pay, and this time all vhose date is further than Jan Tiiary 1, 1917, are off. Bankervand | capitalist and candle stick maker and | every one treated just alike. So mat ter how good you are that does not buy paper. It takes money and if you don't pay there will be no paper. We would like to have all of the old ones remain and many new ones, but they \ are no good without the money. It is not a question of doubting any one, but a question of getting the mon ey. Once before we charged off something like ten thousand dollars that was due for subscriptions, and this time the amount is much larger than I had. an idea. If those Who owe us now would pay it would be a great help. If they would only re new for another year even without paying back dues it would be a great ' help, but as I have said, I expect a good majority to quit because we have indulged them and been kind to them. It is generally the case. In any event, I wish you all mighty well, and here goes for a cash in advance, or no paper. We printed only a four page paper on Friday. There were one or two who complained. It is our purpose ! to print an eight page paper, but if 1 we have a falling off in advertise ments we will print at time? a fo'ir [ page paper. It will be our purpose "I to regulate the size to suii the mati'jr ! we have to print. We could have I used to advantage in the last issue 4 j two more pages, but to have added ! foui^more we would have lost money ! on it. As it was all the advertisfe ments we carried just about paid for the white paper used. It shall be our purpose not to fill up with long j articles that the people have already I read, and with pot metal, but to give j a live local paper covering as thor j oughly as we can the local field,>and I other original matter as we can to make an < interesting 'and readable J tfeper. But we are not going to waste ! white paper just for the purpose of i i making a lot of pages. Sometimes | we have printed sixteen pages and j vjii kjilxz uwaaiuu n e it was* 54 pages in one issue, and we made? do extra charge from our subscribers for that extra amount of reading mat ter. It will average up all right. N The price remains $1.50 a year. The j price of advertising goes up 25 per cent for commercial and regular dis play advertising.

He I wrote us to leave it out as it was i old, but before we got the letter it , had been printed on the first side cf i the pap&r.

Now is a good time to take a sub scription to Tbe Herald and News.

Funs ton. i a Our Monthly. General Frederick Funston and Dr. J. B. Gambrell, of the Baptist church, are having it back and forth over the! s question as to whether religion ought j i to be put to the soldiers in an evan- j i; gelistic way. General Funston thinks | that it ought not. Ha forbade evan-j gelistic services among the soldiers j 8 on the Mexican border. General Fun- j ston evidently does not believe in the i dogmas of the "old time religion." j He doubtless had a right, as com mander of the Mexican border forces to refuse this privilege to Dr. Gam- j 1 brell. We cannot see that anything j is gained by religious folks loeing j their heads over the matter, and some j of them calling on the president to j dismiss Funston. We suppose that Dr. Gambrell, fine and big as he is,! was the object of Funston's order will make no more difference to the ? president than if it had been some little two-by-four Baptist theolog. And we cannot see that /anything will be gained by the comfort that some take unto themselves by saying that Dr. Gambrell can handle Gen. Fun ston. The only way to handle him i3 to see if services can be held, and if mey caimoi, men an iue arrange ments in creation will gain nothing. Either Funston is right or wrong; that's all. Either evangelistic ser vices will be held or not held; that's all. If they can be held, then let the revivalist get busy. If they can't be, then let's hush. Death of Mrs. Kate G.
