If you have no confidence in the growth and improvement of the town and community in j which you live, how on eartn do ' you expect other people to move among you and cause the com- j munity to develop and grow for your benefit? In any town where the majority of its citizens are home own- ' trs you will find pretty homes and happy, satisfied people. They are always on the alert for the best interest of the town and its moral welfare. Where this is not so such an interest is not displayed. Let us rally around the standard of youth, remembering that j the future of our country shall be what the young people make | it. Let us show our fathers and i mothers that the boys and girls of today shall stand forth fully equipped men and women of to 1__ _1 j _i ii _ morrow, reauy w snouiuer tne responsibility of the farm, the home and the nation, If you don't just like everything you see in your home uaper go around the streets and howl. The editor is never supposed to make a mistake, and of course he can't do so. If you can't see a good point, don't fajl to see a bad one. If a thousand pleasant things are said of people, hunt for something unpleasant. If you find it, howl long and loud; if you don't, howl anyway. Never mind vourown business; watch for something to find fault with in some other man's bagjness, this will make you great, This is from Dakota: It is reported that one of the newly* married fastidious ladies kneads bread with her gloves on. This seems strange, but there areothr ers. The editor of this paper needs bread with his hat on, he needs bread with his shirt on, hi' needs bread with his pants on and unless some of the deliaquent subscribers to this ''Old Flag of Freedom" pony up before long, he'll need bread without a blamed thing on, and North l)a<r kota is no Garden of Eden in the winter time, either, Contrary to what some of the editors of our daily papers seem to think, in no activity has there been more progress during the past few years than that of the weekly newspapers. There are nnw hnnill*Or1c nf r>itnnfru noruiiw ?T Iiwuvu vvn- VA WUllbi J JVC*J/VfO which in editorial ability, mechanical appearance, and all that contributes to inspire respect, and command attention are iully abreast of (heir metropolitan contemporaries. In moral tone, and often in editorials, they surFass most of the great dailies, n times past the country editor j was quite generally regarded j with a half pitying contempt as a good-natured but chicken-hearted chronicler of inconsequential locals. Country newspapers, as a class, wield the mightiest Influx ence in the nation. The editors are men of character and enter prise, doing more lor tne community for less money than any other bodv of workers. The Po$toffice Work. Unless further trouble is exper rieneed, the work of remodeling the local i>ostoffice will begin the present week or the first of next week. The job was to have been started some days ago but owing to the delayed arrival of the material, the carpenters were unable to begin sooner. The changing of the office will necessarily cause pome confusion in the handling of the mails, but we are sure the patrons of the office will bear with the postmaster and his assistant, who will do everything in their power to prevent inconvenience to the public. Five Belgians, who have been working for* the street railway companv in Anderson, have goi\e * to Nebraska, where there is .a large Belgian colony. I. I I ?.h MEN AND THINGS ; BY A. LOCAL-MAN. j Every child has a right to such an education as will qualify for life's duties. This is recognized as j a patriotic duty by the State, The permanence of our political insti-! tutions depends on the intelligence of pur citizenship. "The bayonets of foreign soldiers are less to be feared than are the ballots of ignorant voters," The j welfare of the State depends j more on the moral and religious I training of her citizens than on 1 their intellectual training, yet i the state makes no provision for j this moral discipline. In some cases it makes it difficult or even impossible to secure the moral and religious training of the mind at all. There must be a training of the moral sensibilities particularly the will. Not all this is the duty of the church, but the largest part is the function of home. Every child deprived, by whatever means, of this education and training is defrauded i. _r it i * i uut oi an anename rignt, ana when he comes into the inheritance of his citizenship may be depended upon to avenge himself on the society that perpetrated the fraud upon him. In deference to the views of infidels, atheists and others, the Bible is cast out of the public schools, and ail school books are stripped bare of everything that might j tend to build up and strengthen | the child's moral character. It; is cruelty to withhold from chil- I dren this higher and greater training. Children have rights which the State is bound to respect. It disregards them at its own peril. There is no more suggestive or beautiful sight to our eyes than that of an elderly married couple who, trustingly and lovingly together, have walked the rugged ways of life from youth to old age and now hand in hand, and ( heart in heart, are patient ly and hopefully waiting upon the hither shore of time, for the sound of the boatman's oar, tp be borne across the river. We look back along the dim vista of ' years to the halycon time of life's sunny morning; we witness their j plighted vows at the altar, and j spe them go forth, in the pride of 1 life and trip glory of their young j wedded lives to the struggles of existence. Many a Godspeed and kind word of cheer fall upon their ears as they go out from be neath the parental roof-tree that j1 js to shelter them no more forev-1 er, Before them lies a new world j of experiences, of joys and sor^ i rows, of grand successes, and perhaps of sad failures. But strong of purpose and resolute of i will, and with life's sky rose- i tinted with the flush of dawn, they move on, and enter upon, j this to then) an alUunexplored world of experiences, We see them settled in their new home, i Perhaps it is a log cabin in the wilderness, with neighbors few and far. or may be a cozy cottage in some distant town. The huspand is bravely binding every energy to the taek of mastering the hard conditions of life, and a home and a name in the world, and securing if possible that independence that shall relieve them from the possibility of want. To the wife's rosy cneek has come the pallor of the dreadful agonies of maternity, but now her eyes are bright with a new hope, as she caresses the tiny form that nestles in her bosom. And then comes added care and 1 L 1 ? * * * nearxacnes tne years glide away. We see tnem, with streaming gyes and pleading lips bending over the couch of their darling, as its little life flutters I away in the short gasps of dissolution, and its eyes grow dim under the touch of death's icy fingers. But anon, time pours its i gentle balm into thejr wounded | hearts, and the bitter trial and loss which they thought they never coujd endure fades away into a tender memory. Again we behold them, and I as in the long ago they went forth Into the world, now their own noble sons and daughters hurHpnpH with tho iinar?lvorl jmviW. , lems and untried responsibilities of life, follow in their footsteps; and soon their home if left unto them desolate, save in the comI nanionship of their own souls, j Well for them if they have within themselves treasures of culture and character that shall supply their dearest need; well for them if schooled in that beautiful philosophy that enabled St. Paul to say: ' 'I have fought the good fight, f have finished my course, I kept the faith," they too can feel in their soul that .they have done the best they knew, and that now they will trust the good Father fpr all that Is to come. The shadows stretch j away in lengthening lines toward the east, and now they are calm-, ly watching the glories of the coming sunset of a well-spent life. How grand they seem in the fruition of their years, with J their silvered hair glowing in! the sunset's golden gleam. Their faces are radiant with a divine Hope that beyond the bars of the shining west the beckoning arms of their lo"ed ones are outstretching towards them to welcome them to their home of eternal rest and love; and that in a few more days, or years at the most, they will pass on as one weary with the burdens of the day "gathers the draperies of his. couch about, him and Hps down to pleasant dreams."
