SUNDAY CLOSINd
One ot the best laws ever a
dopted by our city fathers is the
one now on our books in regard
to the closing of all houses of
business on the Sabbath day.
There was a time, if our inform-
ation is correct, that very little
thought was given to Sabbath
observance in our little town.
The stores were swept out and
fires built in them as on other
days and salesmen were kept
on duty to wait on customers
who. engaged in other affairs
during the week, deferred thei
shopping until Sunday.
The open stores with warm
fires became the loafing places
of-the men and boys and the
preachers who came to have
their services at the then one
church building usually preach
ed to empty pews and all efforts
to arrange Sabbath school did
not have a large one, because of
co-operation and attendance.
Thus moved along the church
service and school increasing
and then a law was adopted that
for two years was quite well ob
served and enforced, and became
popular both with customer and
merchant, but by and by one
merchant or another was not
content with an equal opportun
ity with his competitor but sought
an advantage or to do a favor
opened his store to sell a few
articles contrary, it is true, to
law and right, while others true
in their observance of the law
kept closed.
The first violation, perhaps
was to sell a few bananas, ap
pies or soda water, but when the
ones whose duty it was to en
force the law, winked, at this,
they grw bolder and other
. stores rather than suffer a disad
vantage began to open also thus
violating the law and now it is
said you can buy almost any
thing here on Sunday from t
cigar to a suit of cloths. - Some
of our stores are known to be
violators. Some of the merch
ants respect the Sabbath with
out law and those who don't
should be made to do so by the
law.
Let's either enforce our law
or repeal it.

reason I shall desist from any
further newspaper 'discussion.

DISASTER.
As many of our readers have
noticed, the greatest ship of the
world, the Titanic, went down
after she had struck an iceberg.
There were.2,260 persons aboard
and the reports say only about
675 were saved, later tidings
may show a greater saving of
life. It is the greatest marine
disaster in all time and brings
sorrow to many hearts.
But with all that, ocean trav
eling is one of the safest of the
world, once in , a , while ; some
great disaster happens but when
we think that there are thousands
of steamers and that? only once
in a while something like this
happens, it is not so dangerous.
Our railroads kill thousands
ever;: year and maim many more,
the automobile kills more every
year, and still we don't notice
these so much.
However that does not take
away from the greatness of the
disaster. It also shows that the
most perfect arrangements for
safety and. the..' wisest provision
for saving human life uo not al
ways carry out. There is a mis
carriage of arrangements some
times. -
We sympathize with those who
have lost their friends. There
was half a billion of dollars re
presented by fortunes Of persons
aboard, and. these are mentioned
but just think of those who went
Lravely down doing their duty.

Pay Your Poll Tax
We are proud of our great
county, more especially are we
proud of her people, the broad
reputation they have for truth
fulness and honesty. There is
only one thing lacking and that
is for each man to pay their poll
tax in order that he may vote
for the man of his choice. After
the 1st day of May it will be too
late. For the convenience of the
different people I wish to say
that each of my deputies have
a tax receipt book in order to ra
ceipt each and every man who
wants to pay his poll tax. Come
boys one and all, get your receipt
so you will have a voice in the
coming election. '

The Danger After Orlp
lies often In a run-down system. Weak
ness, nervousness,- lack of apatite,- en
ergy, and ambition, with disordered
li vei and Kidneys often follow an at
tack of this wretched diseas, Tlhe
greatest need then is Electric Bitten,
the glorious tonic,, blood purifier and
regulator of stomach, liver and kid
neys. Thousands-have proved" that
they wonderfully strengthen the nerves

The time for the annual close
of school is at hand and now the
children are beginning to, think
ol rest ana play. "The young
men and women who. have been
away at college will soon be
back and books will belaid away
until the fall. But one fact must
be remembered, and that is
that this must be gone' over a
gain next year and that nothing
should be done that will take a
way the power to study next
year. Everything should look
to the preparation of self for
next years work. Every child
should feel the importance of
the present time because the
years are slipping by and if you
let these years get away from
you, regret will always follow.
It is hard to impress upon the
young that work should be done
At the different stages of life the
work is defferent all through the
years, there is only a chauge of
work. In childhood and youth
it is the prepai ation of body and
mind for the great things that
later have to be undertaken and
they will be greater or of less
importance as the child prepares
itself now. We often refer to
the careless time of youth when
there are no hard duties, no re
sponsibilities, no great cares.
But to that age the duties and
responsibilities and cares are
just as great, just as a light load
oftentimes is as great for a child
as a heavy weight is for an adult,
so the child feels the responsibili
ty for what we consider a trivial
matter as we do for the greater
things. During the summer the
children should not be allowed
to run loose, so as to lose and
forget the things learned during
the past year. Four months of
vacation, yes, but the vacation
should not be a vacant space of
time for loafing and useless oc
cupation, but one in which some
thing useful has been done.
There "will be baseball and play
and fishing and sport but let us
hope that there may also be
something done, that when fall
comes and the children again
take up their school duties they
may just continue the work that
has been begun and done through
the past year.
We do hope our schools may
continue during the coming year
the good work of the past one.
We congratulate the teachers
and pupils ou their progress and
success and wish for all a most
splendid vacation during these
months.

, Almost A Miracle.
One of the most startling changes
vor seen In any man, according to W.
B. Holsclaw, Clarendon, TeX., was ef
fected years ago in his brother. "He
had such a dreadful cough," he writes
"that all our family thought he was
going into consumption, but be began
to use Dr. .King's New Discovery, and
was completely cured by ten bottles.
Now he is sound and well and weighs
218 pounds. For many years our fami
ly has used this wonderful remedy for
Coughs and colds with excellent re
sult." It's quick, safe, reliable and
guaranteed. Price 50 cents and $1.00.

had hardly gone out until that
of her death came. '
Her remains were interred at
Meadow Fork cemetery on Wed
esday following. Rev. Mr. Plena
mous conducting the funeral rites.
Among her last words she
spoke of her home in the great
beyond; tnat owing to tier poor
health she did not crave to live
and was ready and willing for
the end to come. She always
bore her suffering so patiently,
always speaking of the right,
ever wishing that her children
might attend church and Sunday
school and become true christians
A. large crowd attended the
funeral as she had a host of
friends and relatives who came
to pay. the last tribute of respect
to a loving mother, ; a devoted
wife, a good, friend. She was
loved by all ' who knew her,
While Mrs. Gormon will be
missed greatly, we -feel our !oss

all her siris. So with us all;,,we
are but awaiting, the summons
