Outterbridge the 57th anniversary
of their marriage last Friday even
ing. They are the most beloved
and the most popular people in our
town, and perhaps in our County.
Their lives have always been worthy
of emulation. They spent all
their active lives in the teaching
profession. However thoftrtis)
their work was it was never a more
| potent factor for good than the lives
they lived before their pupils.
1 While Mrs. Outterbridge did not
engage in teaching she was always
a helpmeet and was considered by
the pupils as a part of the school.
Tbey are a striking example of the
fulfillment of God's promise that
wisdom holds in her right hand
long life and her left hand riches
and honor. They may not be able
to boast of the riches that men
count most, but they have wealth in
the affection of their friends which
is far superior. Moth doth not cor
rupt their treasures, neither do
theives break through and steal
them.
The farmers in this community
are going forward with their spring
work. They are doing more think
ing and are making more money.
They study their soils and select
fertilizers best suited to the. partic
ular crop and particular soil. They
are also learning that there is as
much difference in seeds as there is
in varieties of stock. Mr. G. L.
Roberson planted a long staple cot
ton last year which sold for about
22c, while the ordinary cotton was
selling for about lic It was not
worse to cultivate than other va
rieties, costs no more to house and
market. There certainly was a
large net gain in raising the super
ior lint. „
Farmers are reading more than
ever before, and thereby profiting
by the experience of others. The
rural delivery, telephone, and news
papers, have transformed country
life. In the future many of the
brightest young men- instead of
seeking to be somebody's book
keeper or clerk, will follow the ex
ample of our great first president of
the United States and be farmers.
The rural life is freest from contam
ination, not only of those germs
that destroy the body, but also of
the moral virus that makes sickly
characters. If the cities were not
renewed by the rich, fed blood from
the country, the wheels of trade
would clog, and the machinery of
the government would soon be out

go to the city to replace the less

the busy affairs of the commerce,
and in turn have his children grow

Perhaps the greatest factor in
keeping the country boys and girls
in love with rural life is the improv

The Merchant s Dream
(Published by Request)
I.nst evening I was talking
With a merchant aged and gray,
When he told me of a dream he had,
I think 'twaa Christmas Day.
While snoozing in his office
This vision came to view,
For he saw at) angel enter, .
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said tlieaugel, "I'm frbrn heaven:
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to ({lory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to everyone,
And worked hard, night and day;
You've supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up In glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, jukt reward."
Then the angel and the merchant
Started up toward* glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured "Wait—
I' v« a place I wish to show you;
It's the hottest place in Hell,
Whefe ttae ones who never paid you
In tfcrtn«nt forever dwell."
And behold the merchant saw there
Hik old patrons by the score,
Aud grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for natbtug njore.
He desired to sit and watch them
As they'd sizzle, singe aud burn:
And his eyes would rest pn debtor
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, "Come on merchant
There .ire pearlv gates to see."
But the merchant ouly muttered,
"Thisj» Heaven enough for me."
No Usi To Die
"1 have found out that there is
no use t> die of lung trouble as
long as you can get Dr. ' King's
New Discovery," says Mrs. J. P.
White, of Rushboro, Pa. "I would
not be alive to-day only for that
wonderful medicine, It loosens up
a cough quicker than anything else,
and cures lung disease even after
the case is pronounced hopeless.''
This most reliable remedy for
coughs and colds, Jagrippe, asthma,
bronchitis and hoarseness, is sold
under guarantee at All Druggist,
soo and Sr.oo Trial bottle free.
The fact that there have been no
recent estimate on the increased
cost of the Panama Canal ought to
go somewhat toward restoring fi
nancial confidence.
