RANDOM OBSERVATIONS
Here are some random observation
of a man who has visited and stjdie.
a good many small communities. It
you read your local paper you will no'
•! miss much that is happening around
home. There is no use saying that,
T~you~wisFl your towjii had a paper likt
one in the other town, U>\ the- othr
fellow' there is saying the same thiiTg
Tlie man who reads his local papei
thoroughly is usually a pretty gone
citiaen and has it all over the fellow
who does npt. Local papers, when al'
is said ami done, do njore to uphoU
the institutions of this state and coun
try than any other known 'contribut
ing force in the. world's ifrork.
HE KNOWS HIS FOLKS
This isn't a country publisher talk
ing, but the editor of a farm paper:
The metropolitan daily will bring to
one's doorstep the news of Iha world
seen through the spectacles of the city
editor, but it.i.s the editor who lives in
the heart of the community who i.-
able to reflect, the sentiment of the
local group. He aloue is the true in
terpreter of eyents as they affect thi
small town an dthe farming commun
ity that immediately surrounds the

ESTABLISHED 1898
Yesterday, A. J. Manning, County
Welfare officer, brought in from Civet
Hoaiii township four children that he
found m utterly destitate c ire am- ,
tuive), and living with bedridden
r:LnLi|.:>ra.it
l'hey were John Asa Bland, age 13,
Joseph Oscar Blan.i, age 10, Fannie
Magnolia Bland, age 8, and Charlie
Lazina Bland, aye 6
The.se children were the victims of
an unfaithful father and mother who
parted -everul years ago and it u
aid..that each ha., re-married. The
children fell into the hands of their *
grandparents, Asa Leggett and wife
and have since' struggled lanog thru
many hardships and privations with
a.; few of the bare necessities of life
us it is possible to get alonx with and
none of the blessings and coinforte
of life, but possibly they received the
best cure their bedridden ami ag«-
worn grandparents could give them.
The grandmother died yesterday after
a long illness and was buried today,
leaving no one except the grand father
who is quite feeble and practically un
able to get off the bml to care for
them
From this scene of sadne&s the chil
dren were taken by the Welfare Offi
cer, after sufficient clothing was-pro
cured from the people in unil :i mnml
Everetts that they might come on a
public road, to Williamxton, where
they were taken to a barber shop and
then to the home of Mr. Manning, who
had them properly bathed and dressed
in clothes supplied by some of the
women of the town and the satisfac
tion which the children-felt mailt i' •
.scene even more touching.
The oldest child of this family *v;
so badly burned in the early part of
the year that she died in May
was washing ailH her dress caught
from the tire under the wash put
as there was no one trt help her -die
was fatally burned.
Th«»e children will lie put out in
good, Christian homes with people
who will feed, clothe, work and edu
cate them and parties taking them
wil Inot be molested as long a*
properly treat them.
There are thousands of children who
arc in need of homes. We have or
phanages and Children's Home So
cieties but they cannot always find
the destitute children nor the homes
and the. County Welfare Officer is. of
much importance in bringing these
needy ones to better homes
TheYfcinterpri.se has been asked to
solicit an Emergency Fund to be used
in needy cases upon the approval of
the Welfare Office rand the Judge of
the Juvenile Court. Nueh at ;
would relieve many needy and poor
people during thj winter be Miles help
' in*; to And suitable'homes for un
fortunate children.
If any one desires to start such a
fund we \\ v ill acknowledge same thru •
the papeu from, time to time.
