George Ketchniark has the honor of being the best marksman in Dunnville, which means lots. We don't say that George can knock a sparrow's eye out at eighty rods away, but we do say that he can m.tke it very uncomfortable for any local marksman in northern Jasper. Persistence in some lines of endeavor is a plausible idea, but, like a cowbell, cannot be applied successfully to all activities. Persistence by itself is as futile as a tombstone without an inscription. Miles Standish, bless his old soul, had persistence in the right ratio, and, what is better, had enough common sense to keep himself out of the whirlpool of anguish. We used to be very careful not to offend any person lest an enemy be developed, but we have at last seen the error of our past life and intend from now on to face the other way. The Bible says "Love your enemies," and of course, in order to have an excuse to love, we are duly bound to reduce our fronds to enemies; especially the ladies. Girls, please consider us your enemy. Selah. Oh, young men, past events makes it necessary for me to chide you upon the error of your ways. Don't you understand that the carrying powers of vehicles are not the same? You can’t expect to put an ordinary load for a bus into a one-horse old sleigh, any more than you can put new wine into old bottles. Behold, a certain young man by his eloquence induced four young Irbies to accotn; <ty him updn a j >urney to a neighbt <z town, in a sleigh that 1 i anew would denu lish itself while transit, and it came to pass that while on I the way ruin overtook the sleigh, and their joy was turned to lamentation.

School convened again Monday, after a two week’s vacation and the boys had got the rabbits nearly all run to death. What a grand place Surrey would be for a tile factory. The demand is great with the prospects for an increasing demand for years to come, while wood for fuel can be had very cheaply near by. M. T. Parks, who has been in LaSalle county, 111., and spent the holidays in Champaign county, 111., has returned home. Public sales, he says, have become epidemic out there as well as here.

I noticed an article copied from the Medaryville Advertiser in your paper some time ago that the Federal Oil and Asphalt Co. had B,oo<> barrels of oil tanked up. That must m< an out in Texas or some other such place. It was no doubt just a boost to catch some "sucker.” If they have as much oil as they say, why don’t they pay the farmers for the oil leases? Mr. Robison says the oil is worth $5.00 per barrel, and when you talk to them about selling it they say they can get no market for the oil. Gentlemen, the fact is they have no oil to speak of. Those big steel tanks that were going to be put up last spring were tanks full of wind.

If the cause Is somethin,! over which you have no control it is obvious that worrying will not help the matter In the least. On the other hand, if within your control you have only to act. When you have a cold and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use It Judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. There is no danger* of monla Wnen ff*ls used. Fof aale’by A. F. Lohf. • An armful of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

'fHlMOßb's BLACKDRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL LIVER MEDICINE A sallow complexion, biliousness ana a coated tongue are common indications of liver and kidney diseases.
