C.. as Ball matter of the second class. THURSDAY. MARCH 6. 1913. g? Fix up. The most humble cottage in our village can be made neat and attractive. A common board fence, without plane or paint, can be made neat. Don't tie up your prate to the fence post. You can pret a fastener for ten cents or make one yourself in thirty minutes without a cent of cost. It takes no money to burn up the old rubbish, fix up broken fences and make your home look homelike. The busy and intJustriouB find time to fix up their fence, but often the men who make little or no garden and let the yard resemble a last year's bird's nest, are those who have the most leisure time on their hgnds, Every once in a while some one intimates that the publisher of this newspaper ougtyt to "rip someone up the back." Say they deserve it and they don't see why we don't do it. Friends, we are not in the roasting business. Apply at a crematory. If you have it in for some one, go to him and fight it out like a man. Don't try to mix the printer up in your grievances. He has troubles of his own. None of we poor mortals here below are perfect, not by a long shot, and other people may think that you yourself deserve special attention. Never send a dollar away from home when the article that the dollar will pu: chase can be obtained at home. Money is our financial blood. Iu circulation keeps the business body alive. 231eed that body by sending money away and business will soon put on a look of lethargy. Always trade at home. Watch the bargains offered by enterprising Advertisers in this paper and you will learn the best places to spend those home dollars. ~-V - . . The other week a fascetious newspaper writer puuusnea a statement that if the money in the United States were equally distributed each one would have $34.72. The result has been that many letters have been sent to the treasury department at Washington in which the writers ask for their shares. The money is distributed punctually as before, Years ago Horace Greeley said, "Go west, young man." Champ Clark says, "Go south, my boy." The western voters say to their senator, "Go east Colonel," and Doc Cook says to the world, "Go north with me." That pretty well covers the points of the compass and leaves only room for the additional suggestion, "Go to work." Strewn With Flowers. On the day that Woodrow Wilson was inaugurated president of the United States, the graves of his father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Wilson, which are in the cemetery of the First Presbyterian church in Columbia, were covered with flowers, placed there by members of the ladies' society of the church. Dr. Wilson filled the chair of pastoral theology and sacred rhetoric at the Columbia Theological seminary from 1870 to 1874. He died at Princeton, where he was liv log with Ms son, W<>r>drow, who was president of Princeton University, and his body was sent to Columbia for burial. Mr. Wilson accompanied his father's body to Columbia. The president's mother died years before her husband. '' . ca> -v . 'w MBilV' ff m The Love That it at Year Poor. We h&ve all known what it is to come home so tired that we j can hardly drag one foot after the other; when our nerveo are on edge and we feel like screaming if one speaks to us. But i.1 - - M.% * ? men comes tne sootmng innuence | of all that "home" means; the rest and peace wrapped up in that one word; the love that meets us at the threshold in the person of the mother, the wife, ! or of the child, who throws her j arms around our neck and innocently prattles of all the doings of the day?the sweetest music of welcome. We feel the load lifted from tired heart and brain at once, and take courage again. We have come back out of the heat and the toil, among the pitiless strangers in an unforgiving world, to the refuge love provides. But suppose it was not that way. Suppose, after a day of drudging labor we come home to brawling discord. Suppose we were met with scowls and frowns instead of loving looks. ? When you think of what your home-coming might be in the absence of affection ami sympathy, be thankful for the love that is at the door with outstretched arms to take you in. Are You a Cold Sufferer?
