How to Keeep Young.
To remain ever young banish
from your mind all thoughts of
trouble and sorrow, all ugly thoughts
Do not harbor even jealousy, re
venge or malice. In fact, try to
love your neighbor as your self.
You will find in holding happy,
healthy and helpful thoughts that
the lines and wrinkles will disap
pear and leiuty will reign instead.
Do not give way to feelings of
languor and inertia. Keep ousy,
Do your work, whatever it may be,
with vigor and vim.
Don't count your years and say.
"Oh, dear, 1 am growing old."
Rather forg-t them and say, "I am
as young as ever I was."
Much benefit is derived from the
condition you keep your mind in.
Say to yourself: "I am looking as
aid aa I foal and I el lika twen-
ty."
Mix with young people, find en
joyment in their pleasure. Try and
forget self and that old self will
forget you and pass on.
Thank God that you live in the
twentieth century, and are some
boy, instead of living in the six
teenth or seventeenth, when you
would have been nobody; or if you
were about forty and really in the
full strength of your maturity, rele
gated to tne cnimney corner in a
big arm chair, with caps, mittens
and knee muffs to wan! off rheu
matism poor old granny! A be
ing almost on the same plan as
elves and fairies. She exists no
longer. Nowadays the grannies are
as active and bright as their grandchildren.
COMMUNICATION.
Mr. Craven one of Many Who are
Watching Randolph Brain Away
the Cob Webe.
April 8, 1906.
To the Editor of the Courier.
I point with pride to the recent
improvements both mechanically
and ecHtorially in my home county
paper. It is a source of .genuine
pleasure to me to read of the people,
and of the things which happen in
my beloved native county. That
stand which The Courier ha3 al
ways taken Democratic in poli
tics; right in everything and fear
ful of nothing, has crowned it with
the success which it has achieved.
The thnigs which you are advocating
for "Better Asheboro and Ran
dolph," I am glad te see. I hope
your advocacy of a new court house
will result in sucessful effort by
the people and that the present
generation will see it. The build
ing of the Panama canal is setting
a bad example for people who
would "do things," but I guess it's
better late than never.
I am gled to see you joining the
"good road movement" I don't
mean tS say that the Courier is on
the chain-gang, but it is working
for better roads, nevertheless. In
this county (North Hampton), small
road tax is levied on the real and
personal property and those between
the ages of 21 and 45 are required
to work one dav a vear on the duo
lie roads, or instead pay one dollar
to the load fund. Under this law,
all bear some of the burden
building and repairing the public
roads. The railroads and the
one dispensary in tn county
pay about half of the road tax. The
county has a road commission, sepa
rate from the Board of Commission
ers, and has ordered several road
machines and mules. I will be
glad to see good roads in Randolph
and the first place to start for the
better, is Brame s Hill, at lrmi-
If there is any surviving mem
bers of the old Courier force with
whom I used to mingle when I was
learning the business, please give
him my kind reorets-
With best wishes tor the success ot
the Courier, and personal regrets to
yourself,
i ours most sincerely,
Geo. B. Craven

Kw Suggestion About Road Building
Mr. John Dixon, of Alamance
county wiiting to the Burlington
News says one way to build good
roads is to issue bonds anil macada
mize, and another is to distribute a
heavy layer of a soil of a certain
mixture on the roads and abandon
narrow tire vehicles. '
He srys that we have all noticed
in traveling along the roads that
there are certain places hat never
get muddy. If the soil is examined
at these places it will i e found that
it is a sandy mixture and suggests
that this soil be hauled along the
road and the bed constructed of this
He says that South Carolina has
been experimenting along this line
and has found it verv satisfactory
To Advertiser.
The Courier has spent large
sums of money in working up its
circulation and to-day it thorough
ly covers Randolph and adjoining
counties besides having a large list
throughout this and other states
But we are working to build up
Randolph county and the Piedmont
section of North Uarolma.
To this end we have built our cir
culation, that our advertisers and the
community miffht secure the create
publicity. We have improved
our plant and enlarged our paper
all of which necessarily increases
expenses.
Hence this article notifying our
advertisers that after March 1st,
1906, the advertising rate is as fol
lows:

Our circulation is ot made up

This shows that we circulate among

The Courier appreciates the
