I would start. Every person owning i ! real estate or a business here would j see it grow more valuable. Even the man with nothing would gain. There would be more property ! to tax, hence more public improvements. 1 know a man who always seeks tor work, some wealth to earn, and i bitter tears roll down his cheeks, j since we his offers spurn. He simply cannot understand why’s he's turned . ’down again: there is no comfort in j the land, he says, for- workingmen. I When sizzling summer days are gone, and howling blizzards blow, he comes J around to mow the lawn, which is. knee deep in snorf. ‘T want to shovel | snow,” he cries, when August days are hot; in winter he would swat ’ the flies, when there is none to swat. On week days he will bask at east, but i when the Sabbath comes he oils his elbows and his knees and then he i i fairly hums. The shingles may let tn ‘the wet, but still he stands aloof tin- 1 ■til there? rain, and then, you bet, he ( wants to fix the roof. This man, who ( represents a class, is alway s shy of | dough, and in nils declining days he’ll pass out Where the paupers go. If you would gather in the seeds in comforting amounts, quit training with the trifling lads and do the work that counts. —Walt Mason. The Clover Le» f ~.il probably restore passenger service on their road ( about the middle of next month. Os | course it will '.e accentsble even then, 1 but a little rusHc- as to this arrange- . ment would oe appreciated. Decatur ( business men don't like the present ( schedule and there is no use trying to j bide that fact, no more do the farm- i ers and others along the line like it Please hurry. ____________ 1 The republicans of Adams county 1 will meet in their respective precincts next Saturday evening, according to ( official call, for the purpose of select- >< ing members of the county commit- • 1 .tee, one from each precinct.
