Few news items give us more delight. It is amazingly sweet to think of lovers who have gone, hand in band down, the shining aisles of the golden .years. (It is precious to see in their hands the flowers they have gathered along the way. Do their hands bleed from the prick of unseen thorns? How can vi e tell when they are so well covered by the roses they bearl Oh, it is good; and very good, to see people who have become happy, steadfast playmates, so thai playing became living and never lost . itself in the death which comes to men when the objects of affection are only playthings. The long sweetness of life comes through the purer, gentler ways, It be not profane that a newspaper speak in pray er, God send us all the tender ness and truth of a love that abides! . - Wonderful Couih Remedy. Dr. King's New Discovery is known everywhere as the remedy which will surely stop a cough or cold D. P. Lawson of Eidson, Tenn., writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is the most wonderful cough, cold and throat and lung medicine I ever sold in my store. . It can't be beat. It sells with out any trouble at all. It needs no guarantee.'! This is,, true, because Dr.; King's New Discovery will relieve the most 'obstinate of coughs and cold?

It is the experience of calome! users that if they take enough of the drug to have the desired ef feet, it seriously interferes with their work Jthe day after.

Intelligent people realize that com mon colds should be treated prompt ly. If there is sneezing and chilliness with hoarseness, tickling throat and coughing, begin promptly the use of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. It is effective, pleasant to take, checks a cold, and stops the cough which causes loss of sleep and lowers the vital resistance. Dr. I. E. Burnett, Mars Hill, N. C. ;; A Tax List in my hands for Collection 1 will meet the Tax dates named below for the purpose Saturday Monday Tuesday House . Saturday CONGRESSMAN NOT FOND OF THIS IDEA Of BURLESON v Observer Bureau, Washington, Jan. 22. The purpose of Postmaster General Burleson to appoint to the fourth class offices that pay $180 and in excess thereof the persons who stand the best exa minations and make ' the highest marks will almost prove the blow that killed 100 or more Congressman. This means that instead of being able to put in a Democrat by first' one turn and then another, a Congressman Will have to stand off and look on. The situ ation now is like this: An examination is held and the three highest persons are certi fied to the Postmaster General. Any one of the three can be selected. If there are two Re publicans and one Democrat, the Democrat, although he be the lowest in rank lot the trio, can be given the office. If there be two Democrats and one Republi can, a uongressman can name the man by suggesting his choice That is the way it is done. The recommendation of a Congress man has been all that was re quired to get any one of the three certified over. Mr. Burleson's new rule would change this. The highest person unless something detrimental to his character can be shown will e selected. ao matter what his olitics is,1 This will cause more ban" a "howl; there will be a roar. It is argued that the new rule will be more in line with the spirit of the Civil Service law. H. E. O. BRYANT. I have sold all the Chickens and Turkeys that I care to sell at this time, but I can furnish Eggs from either. J. Manuel Robin- son, K-i Marsnau, a. u. , - payers at the fol 31 2 3 4 ' 5 6 7 February ( it and as persons Madison County's Industrial Pos sibilities, v For a few minutes friends, lend me your ears." In this short article, I wish to mention something of the industrial pos sibilities, in our home County. Since this County is the land of my birth, and the one that has mothered me for these years, I feel a deep interest in these old hills too deep for expression and I truly wish' to see them blossom with ' true prosperity Time, I believe, will unfold ncn industrial blessing for our people, such as we have never had before. Some time ago Ex-Senator Al bert J. Beveridge said. "South ward the Star of Empire ought now to take its way. The future belongs to the South if the men of the South will only have it so." , From the' words of Mr. Beveridge we ought to take lesson deep and full. He has given us food for thought. Liv ing in a distant State he sees our possibilities aud thus his words "Southward the Star of Empire ought to take its way." The fu ture which this great statesman sees for the South is enough to spur each of us to renewed acti vity to make our county and community forge ahead and grow prosperous. It 13 true we are shrouded and nestled, beneath mountains, what a blessing. In this, nature has been kind to us. It gives us pure air, and having this we have a strong and healthy race, which is a great help in an in dustrial age. We boast of a peo ple, free from the taint of amal- gimation; and a race almost pure, descending from the first cavalier stock. We have the mountain streams and torrents rushing with terrific force from the heights forming larger streams, making it possible to have un limited water power. Everyday nature is creating wealth for us, only to be lost. Our streams, with a few exceptions, are , wait ing lo be harnessed and put to work, creating wealth for man. Are we getting , what nature is offering us. Verily I say ,' that we are not. We have not reach ed that point where we mix brains with our work and as a result, grow prosperous, as our Northern friends have done. We have not yet learned to think in industrial terms; in terms of agriculture; in terms of stock raising; in terms of manufactur ing. We are letting otner peo ple do our thinking, and they are taking the cream from us. We do the hard labor, they do the thinking. We get the experience they get the money. We are giving to the rich man, who does our thinking a rich bounty for what we should do ourselves. How long, may I ask, are we, in this rich nature blessed coun ty, going to let the other man do our thinking. Just so long as we do we will let the thinking man get away with our wealth. We have bright minds here in Madison County why not use them, and strive to help oursel ves to better prosperity, acd make our county prosperous. God gave us minds, why not train, and use them. Ah, here is the rub, we need our minds trained to the point where we can mix brains with business. What we need is an education that will make two blades of grass grow where one formerly grew, such education as this will change our mountain sides, from a barren waste in many cases, into profitable grazing land. We need an education that .will tell us the difference between the "blooded steer" and the abomi nable and unprofitable "scrub." When our people see the ex pense of the scrub and the value of the 1 blooded, calf, hog and sheep," then we will see our hills teaming with fat and profitable stock, adding wealth to our coun ty. In stock raising alone we (have a . great opportunity ' to grow industrially. We have the adopted climate; we have the fertil land on which to grow the grass, we have the acreage. But what is lacking, we need to mix educated brains with our business and do our own thinking, we need to hustle, and place spice and ginger into our very being. Againjwe need an education that will make our farms double and thrible their yield in corn, wheat, oats and hay. We ought to know more how to make our poultry yards larger and more ' profitable. Boundless wealth is in reach in this respect. We are in need of that kind of training' that will turn our timber pro ducts into the finished product here at home. We furnish the raw material, but some distant man furnishes the brain, we pay him for what he knows, not; for -what he does, when the finish ed product is sent back to us. " Now again let 'me, emphasize - that we need in our schools some thing that will help us both young and old to produce .wealth from what we are blessed with. We have hidden wealth on all sides. The hills are fairly cover- ed with it. What is needed? More educated brains to mix with the soil, so as to make more grass grow in the same place, and to develope nature gift. When we have these I feel , that our county will come into her own industrially. May I add, that, in our work at the Madison Seminary we are striving to teach and stress some of the things I have men tioned above. ; If you as a teach er are able to plant in the : stud ents mind the value of training and how it applies in the solving of life's problems you are help ing that student to grapple suc cessfully with the future, you are giving him mortal tools that will help them to make a prosper ous life. Here in this garden spot, beneath these mountains, , opportunities are around us, the young men and women should be educated to handle successful- y whatever occupation t h e y undertake. If they have anatu- ral taste for agriculture I believe that our schools should ' give them training in agriculture. I believe in giving the boy and girl encouragement to stay in our , county and on the farm. To do so our schools must realize the mission before them and encbur- age the exodus back to the farm : the place for happiness and ;the coming: place for prosperity. ; G. C.
