It is to such men that the big prizes go in business, as in every o'#ier activity of life. Speaking of advertising, the Bat- ton people say :“If the only thing a man got from advertising was cash profits, there wouldn’t be nearly so many advertisers.” And again: “There is nothing more satisfying than the knowledge that jour business enjoys the good opinion of nearly all the worth-while people in the country.” It is this desire fo rthe “good opin ion of worth-while people” that «aus- C3 men to erect fine'buildings, anj to ;.ve the best part of their lives to making good hats, good soap, good brick and good steel.

We never forget a favor render ed by a stranger. Every man hates to buy a new hat or a new pair of shoes. If a steady job were our object, we’d specialize on bill collecting. It isn’t only the blows a prize-fight er can give, it’s the blows he can take. There’s only one place where “com ing close” counts—that’s in horse shoes. When good times steps out, cour tesy steps in—in some establish ments. Bankers and turtles must have hard shells or they would not sur vive. Wonder what a chewing gum mag nate says when he steps on a wad of his gum? How liberal we are with the mil lion dollars we’ “wish” we had; how tightly we cliitch the ten dollars we have! It isn’t the perfect that is beau tiful, but the promise of the perfect; the rosebud is more beautiful than the full-blown rose. I want it said of me by those who know me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower w;ould grow.—Lin coln. LITTLE RIVER NEWS Agent, visited Willets August 25 and organized an agricultural club of fourteen members. Mr. Gray will meet ^ith the club once each njonth. Jackson county will soon have a splendid road from Balsam to Sylva. Gravel and crushed stone is being used for surfacing. This road, when completed, will furnish an outlet in the direction of Waynesville, Canton and Asheville. There ought to be a good road connecting Transylvania and Jackson counties. Each county has already built a part of this much-needed road. Why not complete the connection and reap full value^f money expended? I had thought I would tell a snake story> but since reading the one from Quebec, I am constrained to hold my peace. I am sure that the two gen tlemen who slaughtered the “conven tion” of snakes have broken all re cords estatblished during Mr. Vol- stead’s administration. A. P.

The* VanVrooni:^, the Stnyvesants, the Artavelts, and other early settlers of the country saved fine trees about their homes, on tlie vlllasre greens, along the (“inintry road.s, and In the fleld.-^. But (me will see no trees now- ada.vs on Broadway, and Maiden lane has been transformed from the pleas ant, tree-hordered region of Dutch homes with flower gardens into the busiest wholesale .lewelry district in America, If not In the world. Beauty and comfort gave way to the Inroads of commerce, not only in New York, but In most of America’s great cities, so that today trees in a busi ness street are a rare sight. There are elm-shaded villages in New 'En^ land, maple-shaded towns in New York and tlie Ohio valley, and there are oak-tree sfreet.s to be seen in the soutliea.stem states, hut for the most part this refers only to small towns or cities—never to the congested centers of >»opuhition where they should have been preserved.

The school at this place has been^ in session one month. A total of one hundred and twenty pupils were en rolled, with an average attendance of one hundred and sixteen. There was not a single unlawful absence during the month. Biscuit making contests have been conducted in a number of schools in this county during the past two w’eeks. Sixteen girls entered the con test at Willets. First prize was won by M iss Mattie Cope, second prize w'ent to Miss Bonnie Mills.
