A county that, has bootleggers placed in authority over decent people is out of luck. The way of the transgressor is not nly hard but it has a number of bad ctours on it. We've rtached the day when we can no longer accuse a girl of "putting everything on hef back. . You have probably noticed that the people who can do as they please usually 'iave nothing to do. The honeymoon is generally over when the groom quits raving about the bride and goes to raving about bis meals not being ready on time. A Franklin merchant say that the silk stocking was discovered in the sixteenth centurv but that not all o it was discovered' until quite recently We arc now getting back to the season of the year when the wise little , Franklin boy knows it isn t a good jdea to dispute the genuineness of Santa Claus. The real estate dealers of Franklin should cooperate instead of doing the opposite. Lack of cooperation wil hurt the towr end will hinder the dealer? in the Ugitimate sales of land Those who tail to cooperate will in litre themselves more than their com petitors. . Try This Awhile i .We don't know whether everyone is acquainted with the fact or not but the editor of this paper makes it a rule, to always have a pencil and a - scrap'br two of paper, or the back of an envelope, in easy reach, . If you "stop him on the street and tell him of visTtors at your Home, of a visit you have made or expect to make, or if you call his attention to something your neighbors have done that is worth repeating, you'll find that he can easily get hold of that pencil and. paper. Later on you will , realize that you have helped your v home-town paper by giving' if, something of in terest to its readers. Papers in towns like this cannot employ a staff of news-gatherers. s They have to de pend upon the people of. the town. to furnish them items of interest. It takes but a moment of your, time, and your reward comes' in knowing you have aided in making your home ' Taper a fetter paper. Try it. Fair Play . Frequently some one calls tipon the merchants of Franklin for money to help build, a church in the county. Or perhaps- a neighbor's house has been burned and a collection is necessary to start the .unfortunate 4 family on the road to success again. The busi ness men in both town and country are constantly being called upon for money for various purposes. It is' seldom, that they refuse to contribute Now watch the mails as they come in to Franklin.' A truck load of mail order packages arrives each day.' The following morning the rural mail carriers take many packages to peo ple along their routes. Hundreds of - collars go to th'cmail order houses . in Philadelphia or Chicago each week. Yet 'when a church is to be. built, do these mail order houses contribute? Not one penny. When sickness and . adversity overtake an unfortunate family, do the mail order houses weeo bitter tears and sehd handsome con tributions? Not so as ,one could notice it- Do these mail order houses help pay the preachers and the teach ers ? All the money they devote to these purposes in this county could be swallowed by a gnat. Do these mail order houses help build our roads' and our schools? Not at all. And yet the coffers of the cold-blood cd miil order houses are 'filled with dollars , honestly earned in V, Macoh eounty while our own merchants are left with the bae to hold. Your friend the local merchant, 'corses in mighty . handy when taxes are to' be paid. vhen a church is to be built, when a home is burned -when sickness, death ana adversity arrive.
