V _ - i 1 ounif small man nas already predicted every gTeat event?after it has happened. * It would take all of the printer's ink in the world just to print all of the foolish questions asked about the war. ? * ? ? He whose life is the most useful, serves most, and is therefore the most successful. * * A sense of duty well performed has always, and it always will bring, its own peculiar compensation. ? ? m Science has only just begun to discover the wonderful influence that the mind exerts over bodily states. m * * m Justice should be tempered with mercy. Mercy generally tempers itself it appears to us, ; * The great drawback to progress in m community is because each man hangs back waiting for his neighbor *, to start something. , * * * It is well that a man may belong to the Sunday School class, but it does not mean that he Is the best man in the world even then. * * * Women are volunteering in England to take the places of the men in their positions until they shall return from the war and then deliver the places to them as they left it. * ? The criminal as he passes out at the jail door no doubt wonders each time if he will ever pass that way again, forgetting that this depends entirely upon himself. * * ?

I 1 * V'* V The world is full of fools of all classes and conditions, and it is plain that the fool killer has not yet accomplished his full work; but the man who thinks he can go through this life and avoid the consequences of his own misdeeds, is the biggest fool of them all. * The joke printed in this paper recently concerning the delinquent subscriber who would not pay the editor and went to church the following Sunday and sang louder than anybody else: "Jesus Paid It All," created many a laugh, especially as it was told that tho editor sent him a rocpint in full on the following Monday stating that he wished he could settle his own bills through the medium of the same liability. Ilut there is more truth than either poetry or laughter in it when you think about it. * * # ATE HORSE MEAT. In the October Woman's Home Com panion a French woman gave her personal recollections of the siege of Paris at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, when the half-starved people resorted to the most desperate efforts to obtain food. What they were forced to eat is described in the following extract from the article: "For four months I never saw a piece of bread. A few potatoes we had but long before the siege was over they had gone. All hordes disappeared from the streets. The Government took them, and the elephants in the parks. We were issued a card on which was indicated how much horse or elephant meat would be allotted to us every four days. Horse meat was not bad, but dogs?Icould not bear it. And there were those who ate much than dogs. "I walked home alone one afternoon in the dusk; two old men. bevond tho age of military service, walked in front of me, and as they came opposite our house one stopped and snatched something hastily from the ground hiding it in a bag. " 'It will mean food to-morrow,' " he said triumphant ly to his companion. "Afterwards I discovered what it was that they had snatched up so eagerly; it was our cat." During Court times it nearly always rains. The Judges and other officers of the Court in getting to the Court House have to wade. The town has been frequently reminded that it was necessary that cement walks be laid down from the business portion of the town, down to the Court House anc^Jail, but so far no movement has been made to accomplish this. Referring again to the low land behind the main business block of the town, any ordinary rain will fill it up with water, thus making a great menace to I he health of the people who have to work around it, as well as a great inconvenience. Recently at the new post office in Conway, one of the Rural Free Delivery carriers had to wade to get to the back door of the post office to get out his mail. We hope these conditions will be remedied and remedied soon. * * * LEAVE SOMETHING TO PROSTER1TY. Recently the writer passed through a rural community where he had passed the last time seventeen years before. The place when seen the first time was striking for a rural community for the reason that there were fertile looking farms on each side of the public road for a considerable distance, the homes of the people wc re clustered rather close to-gcther, and the farms were outlying; and about the middle of. the territory on a piece of land rather higher than the rest, was the cemetery or burying ground of the community, and the graves were marked with suitable headstones and covered over with large, beautiful shells. It had the air then of a iroi'U ni?Acnfti<Aiiu ?<> ' ~ i \-i (| viuo vwillllllllllljf WIH." i! thoughts would turn to the commodious farm houses where seemingly there reigned peace and plenty and a full share of earthly happiness to the inmates. We have here presented a view of the way in which the place struck us at the time seventeen yearR ago, when we first saw it. The picand its vision was never lost. Now in a community like that you will be surprised when we say that if, in all that period of seventeen years, there had been any perceptible im provcment in that community as view tl ed from the public road, there was n nothing visible to the eye to prove it. a The dwellings were exactly the same, with the exception of one that had I] been remodeled and one that was an L entirely new cottage. All the others were the same, except that they looked more weather-beaten. The cemetery had been increased insize, but the ? monuments marking the graves, even the new ones, were of pattern like the older ones used there seventeen years before. The fields were just as fer- n; tile and they were growing just as fine o: crops, but no finer than they were growing seventeen years ago. The ' road passing through the community, c. one and now, had not been improved s< in one single respect. The school n< house stood just where it did before., t( . k mid was exactly the samfc. Seventeen ,, years ago the hogs and cattle, while o1 Considered fine for that period, were in about the same as the animals about vi the place now. S1 * 1 The question naturally came to ^ mind: What has this people done in r all this length of time to improve their way of living? What have they m done to make it better for their chilren, the rising generations growing |? up to maturity to take the places of the older ones? There was nothing we could see that had been done. And the next question was: If nothing p was don cin a prosperous community, as this evidently was and is, what could be expected in a community m where the people, owing to the poor- ^ ness of the soils could barely make C1 enough grow from the land to sus- A tain life, and luxuries of every kind w were unknown ? ^ It goes without doubt that the ere- ^ ator of man intended him to live in 7 this world and not only multiply as to Si his numbers, but that he should use d< Viie hroinc on/1 m liconlnv r m ^ tiu UiitillU HUM U1UOVU1U1 CIIVI 111 w trying to leave the world a better ac place than he found it and therefore q making it a more fit place for his de- pJ scendants to live and have their time, n; When a man fails to carry out this *a plan in our opinion he has missed l'ul- m at filling his destiny, and has shirked his j duty. Children were given to man and pj woman for more purposes than one. tt Great improvements and discoveries 81 have come through the course of the el , t ,.. . n centuries by means of the transmis- ^ sion of what men have done on down ei to those coming after them in indef- ai inite succession. There is a great de- a1 sire in most men and women to accumulate and leave to their prosterity more or less of a fortune so that they are provided for after the parents are fc gone. When the parents do this, they tr have performed their duty to their ^ own posterity, and if their children ^ fail to improve -what they have left' a] for them, and ?o backward instead of hi forward, they, the parents are not to di blame. ^a ir On the other hand there are so ^ many who through ignorance or dis- n, ~,i ~ui: ?,4-: ?r 1 :r_ ?? o tugaiu ui men wun^auung Ul Hie p**y no attention to anything that is not closely connected with their immedoJ iatc present. They hardly ever have studied the past, never do they look jr into the future to try to anticipate it ol in any way. Those it is who fail to ls make any effort toward improvement ol either in their individual lives or in the lives of the community as the gen- (j erations come and go. Ther is not a man or woman either sl who has not the ability, more or less, k of making improvement of some kind. ell discoveries have been brought to light r< by the most humble of men,?things Y that have led to wonderful results in n making this world a better place f,> . _ w wherein for man to dwell. Those who o made the discoveries in many cases (j received no benefit from them, but a their works have lived after them and <> will live on for all time benefitting l( the human race as a whole. Let the individuals of every community take the right thought about this matter. When they do, and in acS eordancc with their changed feelings ^ in that respect, wake up to the fact that something is required of them by d generations that are to follow in the e world, then we will not have it to say *( that in the course of seventeen years 01 there is no apparent improvement in a community. There is a disposition on the part of many to keep on along the same old ruts they have always been going, and their only reason for doing it is that their fathers before p hem did it. It is a habit that all lankind wants to get out of as soon s possible. IATTLE OF ftlSNE STILL GOES ON INTERING UPON THE FOURTH WEEK OF THE STRUGGLE, BATTLE MAY LENGTHEN LONGER. The Times correspondent at Eperay, France, telegraphing under date f Sunday, says: "The battle of the French rivers as entered upon its fourth week and nless some flanking movement is irried throuirh t.hovo ?r?nr>nra no yon >n why the titanic tragedy should ot continue for a long time its suc?ssful run. ' * ' * "Now that the perfection of the erman trenches is rivalled by those f the allies, it has become a struggle i which one is pitted against an inisible foe who is never seen until he wrings suddenly from his hiding lace.

TAKEN BY GERMANS INHABITANTS HAD TO FLEE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES AT LAST TOOK ELEVEN DAYS During Which Time the Strong Forts Stood,?These Hid to Surrender Finally to the Fire of German Guns, ?Strongest Fortress in the World. Elsewhere in this paper is account of the shelling of Antwerp by the German army and how the strongest fortress in the world was holding out out against the most terrible fire ever directed against a city in history. Now comes the news the first of the week that the city has fallen. Antwerp and the forts surrounding *he city are in complete possession of 'ho Germans, but the greater part of the Belgian army escaped. It took the Germans just 11 days to capture the strongest fortress in the world. The city was set afire in many places by the German shells. The fall of Antwerp is evidence that even the most powerful forts are no match for the colossal howitzers which the invaders have successfully employed against every fortified place that stood in their way. These huge guns open gaps through which the besiegers find an cntrace for their field artillery and infantry. The Germans, after shelling the city itself for many hours, making it untenable, entered the town through the surburbs of Berchem, to the east. They had made a breach in the outer line of forts, some of which were destroyed, by their big guns and others blown up by the defenders.

In a dispatch from the Hague the correspondent of the Daily Express says German newspapers reaching there indicate that Count Zeppelin is now at Wilhelmshavcn, on the North Sea. with his staff. Wilhelmshaven is the point from which the great air raid on the British Isles is expected to start. One of these papers publishes an interview with the count in which he is quoted as saying that he had not forgotten England and would prove it very soon. To Extend Influence. Means of extending its influence in public affairs and a symposium on general conditions in the South were the topics considered last Thursday by the American Institute of Banking at the final educational session of its annual convention at Dallas, Texas.
