Thursday September 1922, was an eventful and momentous day in the heme life cf Mr. and Mrs. Earl Clayton. The stork, that kindly bird whose mission is to bring bundles of sunshine and joy from out beyond and leave them in houses which God's blessing id especially manifested, came and left a baby girl, who came as a benediction and filled the hearts cf the parents with happiness at the visit? of this child who could only tarry for a short season, and then go m back to the bosom of the One Who V' said, "Suffer little children to come unto me." As the days, weeks and months went by the heart strings of the little visitor entwined themselves so cloeety around the inmates of the home that every thought,- dream and vision for the years to come were centered around "Little Emily." Emily was so loving that her parJ ents and grandparents built air castles for her day by day, hope was builded upon hope that all would be well and that the frail little body would* become strcng and that she would grow to slpendid girlhood and womanhood, and with a wider_life be the same source of sunshine to many nstead of the few of her babyhood days, but such was not God's appointed way and after a lingering illness of five weeks in which like a tender flower she failed day by day. Tuesday morning, June 19th, 1923, the spirit of "Little Emily" crossed the bar and parents and grandpar? ents have only the memory of the ' . visit cf this sweet spirit, who canie and filled. the home and lives with joy beyond measure and whom we know with beckoning hands is awaiting those who knew and loved *hef and ^ho Still wait hero until the call comes to join Little Emily. On June 20th, 1923, the funeral services were held from the- home dTTPT^whrrh she was tenderly laid to rest in the family burying, ground - beneatlL4iian^s beautiful floral offer 'ugs. In- the death of Little Emily earth has ' >st a. blossom but heaven has .gained a full grown flower. Time, the great and only healer, will reconcile the heart broken parents and grandparents to the going of Little Emily, but her memory will ever remain -fresh in the hearts of all who knew her.?F. ? *?o 1 LAPFERS OF THE FRIGHTFUL FIFTIES Everybody ?nows that, young people's manners were never so atrocious as today.

I saw a very interestng article in your issue of June tjth, copied from The Manufacturers Record which read, reread and read again, and expect to read yet more, and I hope the readers of The Courier read, considered and will, act upon the great truths contained in said article. I am i glad (that Gov. Pinchot has something to say against the disrespect and disregard for law and order, which is much in evidence, and' if our ' judges and other public officials and prominent and influential people, also the newspapers, yea, it is the duty of all of us, and if we are truly patriotic we will aid in overcoming and driving out this terrible menace and disgrace, lawlessness .which prevails among us. One of the sad and wors' features about this lawlessness is so many of our people seem to be satis fed or neutral concerning the violators of the law, which are a menace to the civilisation, liberties and freedom of our country., Some of these law violators"have much to say abou' their personal liberties, rights an.l freedom. These they think they must have regardless of results and effects. Thev do not ennsidpr tVio t\papp rights and honor of others. They are their own government and a law unto themselves. Such people could well be numbered among the criminal class. The law itself and the purpose behind the law is not at fault, but weak, selfish human' nature is to blame wheft justice becomes oppressive to any person. Perhaps no law of our country ha: been more violated or as little respected and regarded as our prohibi t'-on laws. And why should this lie,' when it was brought about mostly by the direct vote - of the people? but little legislation about it, is my understanding. And yet, the majority _ say in effect, they will not submit to the will of the majority. They are having their degrading, corrupting way too much. As long as our judge i are so lenient, letting them off by paying a little fine, or< a 'short time on the pub!it roadsj as long a3 our jurors, or half of them, are in sympathy with blockading, and perhaps some' cf them-eSjjfaged in it, we need novcre*TF?t thi3 nefarious business : j stop. There are many men who are! not fit to serve on juries, for more I than one reasop. The writer of said article uses I some plain strong language, sayine! I the buyer of the bootleggers whiskey j.is.equally piuy witp xne scner aiiJ his influence for evil is vastly greater, for he is sowing the seed of moral rottenness in. the hearts of h;s own children, and all of the young: people who know of his law violation. Th-violater cf . one encourages the violation cf nil laws. Civilization can not exist cxcept.it is based on the supremacy, the mainia5nance of law and on an adequate punishment of the criminal who violates the law. I believe the person who wilfully, habitually nn.l persistently violates the law should ' not only be punished to the full extent of the law, but shopld be denied the right cf franchise. Why should the law violator, one who has little or no respect or regard for government, law cr order be allowed to vote or have any voice in these matters? Where the blockader doing business flourishes the character of the peo piv guca uuivtlf bjr ucyici-iaiiCO, vice flourishes and there is confusion and every evil works.
