B. ALISON BILLSBORO, N, C. V Watctf Next Week, The City Market IntER FBOIil - FORMER EDITOR. Pleasant City, Ohio, Dec. 27, 191 1 Editor Jackson County. Journal, Sylva, N. C. My Dear FriencUNow that the psh of the Christmas work is .over, nd we have a few days of" relaxa. lon before the January trade opens p, very often I think of my many fruiiuci in wuai manner uicy tuc pending these winter days.- I kould appreciate the opportunity of jiropping off in Sylva and enjoying short stay with its hospitable people. . We have had one of the most d : ightful winters here so far, that it pas teen my lot to witness. The bads are in fine condition-and the mtomobiles are nmning every day lad a twenty mile ride in one yes erday. We have not had any rain t all of any consequence this fall nd winter, hence' the reason for so xcellent roads. We now are hav- g considerable ; snow but as the -eather is. cold and it does not pelt but Dacks down it Hops ot affect travel. ; V I have been : hoping to hear of .oine definite action " taken on - the paa question in Jackson county, yhile editor of the Journal I did pat I could tolxwst the interest of pod roads, feeling with a deep con ation that the .future of Jackson punty mainly depended on the de- -lupment oi Her: thorpugM ares, j ou as a-people can'. i biiild .ytur .

Build a permanant foundation on which to develope your recources, do not encourage a project that' has its only object to deplete your natu ral resources. ' How much better it would be for the county if in the development of the natural recources they worked over by skilled labor and the entire benefit of its natural richness be preserved to its people, than by al lowing the raw material shipped out and some other locality get the I cream of your vast wealth.- , I can not helf thinking of that grand talk made by xir. Joyner in the auditorium at Sylva, and of the forceful manner, in which he demon strated the superiority of skilled labor over unskilled labor in a com munity, and how much more the skilled laborer benefitted the com munity in, which he resided than an unskilled one did. There is no ben fit in shipping out the resouces of Jackson county that does not bring back a justifiable remuneration. Ohio in September voted down a proposition to bond the state - for $50,000,000 to improve roads, but it was done so for the. reason that a number of counties had bonded khemselves and built macadam roads, all over their principal roads and it would ha vebeen an injustice to several of the counties to have had to help the other counties after they had built their own ' We ex pect to pave the main street- of our town in the near future .arid T then .511 piihtft hfttition -fnf imtv: nnA e aid-to' have them 4ielp ? build gome Daved road out to the nev ( boring towns, for we can not get ctotA aiH until We have some -tilace 5 tQ start against.

Ourfcoys are catching on to the fact that public drunkenness is a public disgrace. and that it mortifies the feelings of the kind parents, and reflects dis honor upon themselves. I am of the opinion that soon our civiliza tion will wipe this practice (or habit of getting drunk on Christ mas) away. I hope soon we can number this habit as a relic of the past Our young people must have higher aims in life, if they would make their mark in this life. Much depends on how our young folks are taught at home. If the kind parent sees his boy leaning in the wrong direction, then the brakes should ba applied. This, can usual ly be done by sound counsel, spiced with love and affection. The boy who will not heed the lov ing counsel of the kind parent is in a most dangerous position, ; and needs the strong ties of the father'sR631 con.tinu? have its effects and mother's love thrown closely around him, togethei with' kind words from all good people who know him. I believe every boy coma oe redeemed irom rumous habits if every parent and person would throw the proper influence around him. The first step would to be careful and set the proper ex ample for him to follow. Then at all times have his best interest at heart. We never can stop on boys cursing or from any other evil habit if we practice those habits our selves. Our boys are naturally im itative, hence importance of correct living on our part. The lives of the children are a continuation - of the lives of the parents as a . rule. Children inherit to a great extent, the ways, habits, customs, features. health, etc., 'of the parents. Honor thy father and mother that thy days may be many on this earth. Mrs. Edley Taylor has been quite sick for some tinae, but is reported a little better lor tne last aav or two. L. V. lilley. wno is teaenmg in nr rtr uu holidays at Speedwell. Mrs. Z. V. Watson and John Wat - son are spending": a few days in Qualla. Dr. Seago's remedy for "sun grins" has been laid in the shade this cloudy weather. X. Y: Z. . CAROLINA WINS RATE VICTORY .

LEAP YEAR COUNTS. Gazette-News . J Leap year ends with far fewer New York girls having takeri advan tage of leap year than Chicago girls have. Compared with an increase of over 3000 marriages in Chicago this year, as reported in a dispatch from that city, the marriage license bureau in New York announces an excess of only about 2000 marriages here over the number last year The total for the year has been 38,- 264. The marriage license clerks declare there is no doubt that leap on matrimonial Dusiness ana say that records every leap year keep: up the tradition. N A COUNTRY EDITOR'S DUTIES.
