as they can get the coach repaired.
They carry the mail on the present ,

j We visited Fall Creek church a few
{weeks ago and it is ridiculous that
such a bad road leads to the church
from the main road which runs from
Bennett to Cartha’ge. We don’t see
why the people in that section don’t
j get busy and have that road repaired.
It is the roughest piece of road in this
section. No doubt but that the county
commissioners would assist in build
ing* that road if some one would only
start and others that live elsewhere
who attend services there occasional
ly would also aid in repairing it if
they will only make an effort toward
fixing this road and we hope the peo
ple will get busy and soon repair this
j road.

Happening 1
t Take the case of Billy Belcher. One of the finest boys in Kenmore. Bright-eyed—alert li
—ambitious—prompt—neat—a good dresser and liked by all. y Billy believed in “first im
pressions”—good association and was moderate, he thought in all things. He considered
clothes as a goeod investment—but never over-bought or went into debt in his desire to (m
be well dressed. But he was always mighty close to the danger line and seldom had any ||
surplus cash on hand. IH
t Result was that Billy accomplished all he aimed for. He made good impression; his ||
personality was liked; he attracted attention and was offered a good proposition—but pa- itul
sition and investment. Hu
Wl t But he couldn’t accept. He stood shame-faced and had to admit that he didn’t have
so much as $lO to invest and make possible a good positoin. “I have not the money,” Kj
f|j were the five small words which ended the interview. |SR
H % This story—a true one—carries its own moral. It is not against clean, moral and • Inf
|uj ambitious living. But it does show the importance of forming and carrying out the re
solve to have a bank account. fgß
