In every county and in every State can be found towns that are continually forging ahead, while others remain practically at a stand still and accomplish nothing in the way of advance-' ment. In every case the fault | can be found to rest, not with the town, but with the people themselves. An exchange has been thinking pretty seriously along this line and it presents its conclusions in this way: "The reason why some towns grow is because they have men in them with push and energy who are not afraid to spend their time, energy and ' money in anything that will j boom and benefit the town. They j have confidence enough in their town to erect substantial and modern buildings and residences ; and work for public improve- j ments in the same order. "They organize companies and 1. _ U I \ C , 1 escauusn lactones, mauce- industrial enterprise to locate and use every means to further the best interests of the town. Their ( work is never considered finished and the accomplishment of one thing is only an incentive of another. "On the other hand, the town that does not get ahead will be | found to be dominated by either a sot of men who are perfectly satisfied with their surrounuiiigs or who are afraid somebody else will be benefited in the event s< mething is started; consequently no elloit of any' kind is made by this class for those two reasons. "If some men or sot of men endeavoi to start something tin y are met by opposition and oi.courhgement and it is uphtd work all the v. ay and very often failure. "Every town, however, has a certain, progressive element which hopes lor a turn of the' tide when the town will go forward by leaps and bounds and occupy a position of importance and obtain numerous advantages which go to make a good town in every sense. "But this stage cannot he ac complished by mere wishes or suppositions. It can only come from harmony in purpose and action and the eternal violence of its citizt-ns. "The town with these things will continue to grow and improve, but the town without them can be expected to remain in a state of lethargy indefinitely without affording its residents anything but a mere existence. "It is all true." An Aching Tooth. We heard one of our subscribers utter an oath the other day, who never before broke any of the commandments that we know of. When he explained to us that the cause was an aching tooth we felt that he would have but little trouble in receiving forgiveness, for the tooth that means to come out has conquered all men and all women. It has been soothed and coaxed. It has been held near fires until the cheek abutting it was nearly roasted. It has been chloroformed. It has been fed on essence of juniper and essence of peppermint, and esse? co 01 cloves. It has heen filled. I's nerve has been killed. Its mist rab'e possessor has been immured from fresh uir like a prisoner. Tnu? uooA.)i iiiu.cuiiwa sleeps. / but it never forgets. It is most treacherous when it seems tranquil. It ulcerates at the roots when its possessor is about to indite a poem, take a Journey or get married. It longs for a release and hungers for the forceps. It may seem to compromise, but it merely bides its time. Its favorite recreation hour is just after midnight when druggist and dentist have retired. Tf nil tho orrnnnH ia pnuarod ??i th I snow and the winds piercing, it is fairly diabolical with activity. There is no use in AOQtesting issues with this mutinous and molesting molar. Fight rheumatism if you will but throw up the sponge at this altercation. You have blistered your mouth and ruined your digestive organs and quarreled with your family and friends long enough. Tell the dentist to pull your head off and the accursed grinder with it, and live on soup, if need be, but have peace once more. Jerk the abomination out and it will be content, the everlasting plague on it. The Cold Wave of 1836. One of the most remarkable stories of sudden cold weather is to be found in a famous biography of Abraham Lincoln. The year 1836 was long known as "the year of the sudden change." At noon on December 20 of thati year, after a warm, rainy morning, the temperature suddenly' fell 40 degrees. A man riding into Springfield for a marriage license found the raindrops dripping from the bridle and his beard changed "in a second" into jingling icicles. Geese and chickens were caught by their, feet and wings and frozen to the1 wet ground. A drove of one' rnousana nogs being driven to St. Louis rushed together for| warmth and formed a huge1 pUe. Those inside smothered, I while those outside froze, and the ghastly pyramid remained on ; the prairies for months. Are You a Cold Sufferer? Take Dr. King's New Discovery.
