Pluck is the word. * j(c * * In dry weather, we want it wet, and in wet weather, how \vc wish it was dry. Keep up the talk about pavingMain Street. It should not be put olY until tomorrow. * * * * Even the scourage of malar.hi wiil yield to good drainage, for it diives the mosquito out of existence. * * * * Did you spend a safe and sane Fourth ? Perhaps you celebrated it without knowing, what you celebrated it for. * * * * Palagra is more prevalent where there is bad sewerage* disposal. Provide Conway- with good waterworks and Sewerage. * $ $ * Keep a man at work and you relieve him from temptation. Idleness is the snare of temptation and it leads to crime just as much as whiskey or any other evil. * * * * A small fault in the conduct of a man or woman who is prominent in r the community looks biggen in the eyes of others than the greatest sin on the part of the lowly. * * * * It is an easy matter to write up whole columns of what other papers are saying to iill space in the editorial columns. When it comes to producing something original it is quite another matter. * * * * What good is a man in any community when he spends the greater part of his time in going about trying to butt into the other man's business? One who has business necessarily has to attend to it, and he finds no time left to try to attend to the other fellow's. * * * * The great cause of all -he trouble in Mexico is the peon population. Their land was taken away from them years ago. They have no land now This condition will have to change before Mexico can have peace thai will endure. * * * * After the election is over there are many who will say: "I wonder how such a man ever got into office." 11' he is one who is obviously not fit to fill it, you may be sure that he got there by reason of factional bitterness and prejudice. * + * * It is degrading in the extreme to have to realise that the time has come in this country when the office no long er seeks the man, but the man invariably seeks the office; and if he cannot win in one way he can in another, and he always takes the shortest and easiest way. to thank on terest s Quality, Promptne I 11 * *U4A\%* m 11 n? m A little newspaper in Georgia was bragging1 the other day about the unmbers of pretty girls that graced the streets of the town with their presence; and went en to say that they were the prettiest girls in the j world. Of course that scribe was wrong, for Conway has plenty that can outshine old mother Eve. * * * * Should a man come to visit you and insist upon helping to milk the cows : and feed the hogs, tries t) kiss the baby, brags on the crops, praises the wife, and lauds you as the most sue- 1 cessful man in the county; know then that he is a candidate. Don't believe j him for he has an axe to grind. * * * * Numbers of people go through life apparently well, when really they are ; all of the time just on the verge of 'sickness. They are alwavs "finicky" I * . I and hard to please, finding fault with I everybody and everything. They are i generally said to have indigestion, torpid liver or an enlarged spleen. In j such cases a little common sense will do more good than cart loads of doctor's prescriptions. # * * ? * The tendency of the better class of men and women all over the country j is to suppress boldness and suggestive temptations in matters of sex. II is therefore surprising that some songs are allowed to gain the popu- i larity that they do and that they are even sung in the parlors of church members. We could give you the titles of a few but what is the use. * * * * Every politician, no matter how popular ho may be, is sure to come down in the public estimation, soCP.er or later unles?..lvis popularity is found e<l on,something higher than the stirring up of factional strife and party prejudice. Ho who g^es into office with his breast full of mere boasting, will come out like a bursted balloon and will feel just as flat. * * * * The courting proposition is one best managed in the presence of the two immediately concerned. Young people as well as old generally understand this fact. It may bo possible though for a youthful couple to become so absorbed in it that they forget that others are looking. The couple on the streets of Conway one evening last week must have forgotten that the public streets were not entirely deserted, for they evidently had no e.yes for anybody except each other, and their liking for each other was an open secret to all who chose to look i on, and most of them chose. * * * * i The circumstances are never exact- ! ly suitable for the accomplishment of any purpose. Time after time a man has wanted to do this or that but did not on account of some circumstance 1 or set of circumstances that he did j not think quite suited the purpose. Many a man and many a woman have ( | wanted to marry but their circum- j j stances did not quite suit and they j : put it off with the result that they | never tied the knot. It is best to use ! judgment in anything of a serious nature, but should you undertake to i wait until everything was exactly suitable, in nine cases out of every ; ten, you will never do it. * * * * l\ow hero, quit standing about the street corners cursing out the worldly affairs of mankind as you find them today. Did you realize that the great majority of men and women of (the day are striving v/ilh might and] ! main to reach something higher? It! is true that there are mean men and ' women in this world, yes, mean enough to pull the whole t >' mankind down with them if they could do it. , Hut the truth is <h:.t the moan ones are in the minority. Instead of bo .: ing dissatisfied and behoving that the j entire world is out tf joint, t<\\ to see 'the greed things that are being done | everywhere in the uplifting* of the world, for which every man should duly give thanks and be pioud. ir many Frii ss find Neatness - PROGRESS IX THIS KITCHEN. The fact that a thing has always been done in a certain way?the mere precedent?limits originality and i halts progress. For example: In a I recent issue of the Survey the question why kitchen sinks have been made so low was discussed. No one seemed able to explain. Finally a certain maker discovered that the or- i igifuil sinks were made when the I washing of dishes and other sinkwork was done in wooden tubs with high sides. Such a tub when used in a high sink came up too high so the sink was made low. Furthermore, as running water and fixed faucets had not long been made, the tub had to ho lifted out of tlie sink, and the lower the sink the lighter the lift. Though improvements in faucets, dish pans and other accessories of kitchen sinks have boon made no one seemed to rca lize that the sink could he improved by raising. So women were?and are ?compelled to endure discomfort when doing their ordinary household work. There may be a certain percentage of inconvenience to be reached before the human mind grasps the fact that something must be altered. The wise inventor says the Journal of the American Medical Association, attains a reputation for brilliancy by making his invention before the need becomes obvious to others. * * * * SUCCESS MEANS TO I)I(i. It is the little things that are done day by day that make or unmake a man as he goes through life, arid this is so all the way through his journey from tlvi cradle to the grave* is easy to sit and.read of the lives of eat men ' feel elated over their vfonderous achievments. It is hard to realize, while reading the story, the many little trifles that entered into it before the grand result was ever reached. Some might credit the success of great men to luck, for the simple reason that the difficulties that those men had to overcome were not he recorded at the time . Such a record would have been impossible to keep so as to pass it down to later generations of men, for while it is easy to record some dry fact in matter of fact language, for instance the statement that the famous "So and So" had many difficulties to overcome, yet how impossible to record the tears that may have been shed over it, the heart pangs of apparent failures, the sleepless nights and the brain sweat. Such tilings as these belong only to to him who has to suffier them. They cannot he reproduced even by the use of photographs. He or she who would accomplish great things must be content to begin with the small. Just because success and fame cannot be reached in a day, it will not do to lay down the only weapons of warfare, or everlasting* failure is the only sequence. There are many who too ; easily become tired with what is sometimes called the daily grind. Not I realizing that it is the little things done day l>t\ day and done well that would lead to ultimate great results, they fling up the job in the very beginning and with them many times it is the end. Take the great inventors of the present day as well as those of the past. Look into their methods, the greatest of tnem, and you will be sure to find that they like you had to begin with small things and had to work hard on those day by day. The lesson they teach should he learned by every young man and young woman who want to go out into the world to make a name for themselves. While ii is not given to every person to make a name that would be known from one end of the world to the other, still there is a chance for each to make a success of life however hum hie the station may be.
