The Booster and the Killer
Nearly every town has two
classes of citizens the boosters
and the killers. All the world
loves the former, but even the
devil shuns the latter.
Be a booster!
The town booster is known by
everybody, for he is always do
ing and saying something to
push his town and its people
along. He is the man who
makes the town. The killer is
the one who destroys it.
Be a booster!
The booster never loses any
thing by his boosting. He boosts
other people and other people
boost him, and through this com
bination of boosting great things
are accomplished. It is only the
killer who falls of his own
weight, of his own sword, of his
own deeds.
Be a booster!
The booster is like a ray of
sunshine on a cloudy day. He
brightens everything and every
body around him. His geniality,
his cheerfulness, his energy and
his good deeds breed hope in the
bosom of despair. His words
and his acts aid others and enno
ble himself. But the killer only
kills just kills, kills, kills!
Be a booster!
This town has many boosters,
and you all know them, you ad
mirejthem, you respect them.
And your respect is more pre
cious to the genuine booster than
is your gold. It is only the kill
er who stands alone, without
friends, without hope for the
future.
Be a booster!
There may be a killer or two
in this town, but we hope not.
But if there any we hope they
will cease killing and go to boost
ing. There is no honor or profit
in killing, but there is much to
be gained through boosting.
Be a booster!
We need the booster we need
more boosters. But we can ex
ist handsomely without the kill
er, for the killer's principal di
version in life is to take a knock
at the town, at its people, at
their ways, and at everything
and everybody connected there
with except the killer.
Be a booster!
If there are any killers in this
town let's convert them, so we
can all be boosters. The booster
is of value to every legitimate
thing with which he comes in
contact, while the killer is not
even of value to himself. Heav
loves a booster and hell is full
of killers.
Everybody boost!
It is easier to tell your age to

After Those Higher Up.
The Scott county grand jury,
in its report, took a whack at
the society women, "leaders in
the churches," for the example
they set in their various games
and amusements. The report
says in part:
"It seems rather inconsistent
to us to investigate misconduct
in negroes and white men and
boys, while mature women in our
community who are leaders in
church and social circles, set the
example by their games of
chance for prizes and other val
uable consideration. Why should
ignorant negroes be prosecuted
for the offense of gaming while
the social and religious leaders
of the town" and county go un
molested when guilty of the same
offense?
"The grand jury are unani
mous in their opinion that the
good women of the community
should set the example for the
walks of society, and should not
set a bad example for those who
have neither the safeguards of
character nor culture to enable
f them to resist the temptation of
the dangerous spirit of gambling.
"As long as these good women
are permitted to continue their
gaming, it will be extremely dif
ficult to enforce the law among
other classes, who must wonder
why they also cannot enjoy im
munity from its penalties.
"The grand jury have not sum
moned any of the women citizens
of Scott county who engage in
different forms of gambling con
trary to law, but would suggest
to the court that the next grand
jury be charged by the court to
look into the matter and see if
something cannot be done to
have the evil suppressed."
Rank Foolishness.
You occasionally see it stated that
colds do cot result from cold weather
That is rank foolishness. We it true
colds would be- as prevalent in mid
summer as in midwinter. The mi
crobe that causes colds flourishes in
damp, cold weather. To get rid of a
cold take Chamberlain's Cough .Rem
edy. It is effectual and is highly rec
ommended by people who have used
it for many years as occasion required,
and know its real value. For sale by

However ugly a gentleman is
and gents are usually ugly
he will be so respected if polite
and of a money-making indus
try. When a political convention
meets the delegates always look
for a reel artist 'to paint the
scenery; they call it writing the
platform.

Wild Geese doing North.
Either we are going to have
an early spring, or a lot of wild
geese are very foolish. For sev
eral bunches have honked across
the heavens making their way to
the northland. It is two or three
weeks earlier than they have
usually passed over this commu
nity. But while we may or may not
have an early spring, it ia cer
tain that the 'birds know noth
ing about the kind of weather
we are going to encounter. They
are early in migration this year
for the reason that the weather
in the south has been unusually
mild. But they may yet be
driven south again, and are cer
tain to be driven if there should
be a blizzard of several days du
ration to the north of us.
The geese must depend upon
foodstuff found in the fields and
about the edges of the lakes and
rivers. They do not fish or shell
fish to any extent, and dive little
for their sustenance. So if the
rivers and lakes are frozen about
the edges, the geese are driven
to the fields and if the fields are
covered with snow, as they are
likely to i)e, they are without
food and must wing their way
further south. It is not unusual
to find migratory birds driven
south after the first venture to
the northland, but they do not
return as far south au the start
ed, drifting down into Kentucky
or Tennessee, and living in the
fields until the weather moder
ates and they can get along in
the north.
It is getting so well along to
ward spring that it is certain
we shall not have a great deal
more intensely cold weather.
That we shall have "spells"
there is little question. But we
are within sight of higher tem
peratures and the sun is getting
so high in the heavens that it
drives a good deal of heat into
the earth. So the geese have
probably not made any great
mistake. They can get along on
little food for several days, and
it isn't likely we shall have two
or three weeks of continuously
severe weather. Dayton (Ohio)
