COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Don't admit you do your best
unless you do pretty well.
Bowbells second trunk line
should double the city's advan
tages.
The high jcost of politics is the
most conspicuous exhibit in that
line this year.
Harvest of barley and oats
will start in Burke county in a
very short time.
The chief difference between
a success and a failure is that
the success has kept right on
trying.
A baker claims Mr. Rockefel
ler owes him a bill of 56 cents.
Well, what of it? He ought to
know that no amount is too small
for Mr. Rockefeller to save.
North Dakota progressives
have left the republican party,
but only for a short time. They
will soon see their folly and get
back to their former moorings.
The proposed decrease in the
size of paper money bills will
probably not be popular. They
are scarcely not large enough to
cover our current expenses as it
is.
What are Burke county far
mers going to do when twine is
unobtainable at any price? From
the looks of things such will be
the case before the harvest is
over.
A unique instance of the un
selfish desire to give others plea
sure is afforded bv a nature
couple in Pennsylvania, who will
take the groom's six children
and two grand children on their
honeymoon trip.
A woman i n Massachusetts
was held as demented because
she donned trousers. But if
every woman is so held who
wears the breeches there is go
ing to be a great breaking up of
homes of the country.
A Pittsburg man has invented
anesthetic bullet which puts vic
tims into a sweet, dreamless
sleep while it kills. The inven
tor expects to take the tar out of
the class where General Sher
man put it, by making it quite a
painless performance.
An ex-bandit and member of
Jesse James gang had
his
pock­
ets picked of nearly a hundred
dollars while listening to
a Chau­
tauqua lecture given by Wm.
Bryan. This holds the record
the way of irony of fate.
in
A girl has sent a petition to
Congress to change her name.
This may be taken as a general
invitation to the national legis
lature for one of its unattached
members to respond to the femi
nine privilege of leap year.
Hunted 2,000 miles through
trackless wilds by the Canadian
mounted police, a noted cattle
thief and all-around criminal has
been taken. It would be a good
idea to bring some of these en
ergetic policemen to the appar
ently hopeless maze o city
streets where criminals escape
so easily.
A defaulting county treasurer in
Illinois was paroled on condition
that he repay the money taken,
in installments, the court giving
him, at the installment rate,
over 150 years to pay the total
sum. If he does not pay it in
the given time probably the con
siderate law will take mpre dras
tic measures with him.
The latest of freak dances is
the horse trot. In this day of
polital interest why not the don
key drag, the moose minuet or
the elephant love waltz?
The average voter likes to see
a political scrap, but he gener
ally continues voting in the same
old way and so in November we
can look for about the usual re
sults.
Bill Bryan is being condemned
because he once posed for a pho
tograph while shaking hands
with Charles Murphy. But if an
x-ray photograph had been tak
en it would have revealed an ax
in his hip pocket.
That youth is not necessarily a
matter of years, despite Osler
ian theory, is proven by a Phila
delphia woman, who at the age
of seventy-four is not only pre
paring to wed, but is about to
take a trip to Europe to do it.
The governor of New York
was stopped in a town of that
state for speeding, and with ro
man virtue of the police head of
the town says the governor must
either stand trial or pay a fine
for violating the local regulations,
as no position or influence can
excuse a man for breaking the
law. This dictum must have
been received in the metropolis
with something of a gasp.
Since the Hoyt brothers of the
Flaxton Times purchased the
Portal International early last
spring and one of the boys went
up to fun it, both publications
have been greatly benefitted by
the deal. Both the International
and the Times are a great credit
to the towns in which they are
published and are improving
right along. The business men
of the two towns are showing
their appreciation by very liber
al patronage and the Hoyt boys
certainly deserve the many good
things that are coming their
way. They are hustlers and
have proven that it takes hustle
to win.
ONE MAN AND A JUDGE
The aged bankrupt whose es
tate had been tied up in a court
for 13 years and who wrote an
offensive letter to Federal Judge
Emory Speer had other reme
dies. So also had the judge,
who immediately caused the old
gentleman's arrest for contempt.
In the letter reference was
made to many things in the ca
reer of the judge which are mat
ters of record. If they were
merely insinuations they might
have been ignored. If they were
libelous there are laws in Geor
gia, no doubt, that comprehend
them. If for any reason not of
strict necessity the magistrate
permitted a Bankruptcy pro
ceeding to drag along for 13
years, he might properly enough
have accepted the protest as an
irregular but a merited rebuke.
The time is highly inopportune
for summary arrests and punish
ments for contempt or for judic
ial oppression of any other kind.
It was one man's grievance that
set a committee of the house of
representatives to Seattle to in
vestigate .Judge Hanford, who
has since resigned. It 'was one
man's complaint of injustice that
drew the attention of the house
to Judge Archbald, of Pennsyl
vania, who has since been im
peached.
BUILDING A ROAD
Another illustration of the gen
eral recognition of the value of
good roads, and the determina
tion to have them, is afforded by
the action of the citizens of Rav
enden Springs, Arkansas, and
surrounding country in closing
all stores and offices eight hours
each day for a week in order that
all hands might turn out and
build a pike road from Ravenden
Springs to Ravenden, a station
on the Frisco, a distance of nine
miles, without a cent of cost to
the county. The building of the
road is under the supervision of
an experienced road engineer,
and assurance is given that ev
erything done will be substan
tial and permanent. Business
men, preachers, lawyers, doe
tors, and people of other walks
of life represented in the terri
tory involved, are joining in the
work, giving freely of their time
and energies. This is not the
first instance within the last
year or two of a whole commun
ity turning road builders and do
nating time and effort to the
construction of a desired road.
It is a measure which may nqt
be necessary in many communi
ties, and fortunate are they but
the fact that it is forthcoming
in places where it does seem
necessary or advisable is a grat
ifying commentary on the civic
spirit of American citizenship.
KNOW YOUR CITY
A city, with a few natural ad
vantages thrown in as a starter,
would very likely follow the ex
ample of the immortal Topsy,
and just grow. But in the cities
that are growing fastest and
most methodically there seems
to be a considerable amount of
taking thought about the grow
ing. There is a widely enter
tained belief that the growth of
a city industrially and correc
tively in wealth and population
can be helped along considerably
by judicially directed effort. In
several of the Middlewest cities,
where the striving for the bigger
and better things goes on for
ever, they have organized know
your-city movements.
There ought to be such a move
ment inaugurated here in Bow
bells, first, for the reason that
every patriotic citizen should be
well informed concerning every
thing that pertains to the native
or adopted city. To know Bow
bells well means a comprehensive
knowledge of the city's educa
tional institutions, of her great
commercial advantages, of the
variety and extent of the prod
ucts raised in the territory ad
jacent to her, of the geography
and typography, the markets,
amusements and a score of other
phases and features.
Having acquired an accurate
and expansive knowledge of the
home town, the inquirer will be
in a much better position to ren
der the civic service which every
good citizen owes to his home
community. In a comprehensive
study of the city a knowledge
will be obtained concerning the
shortcomings and imperfections.
Attention will be directed to the
lines of progress along which
other cities are moving more
rapidly than Bowbells. By
studying the home situation, and
only so, shall we make intelligent
progress.
One of the most common ailments
that hard working people are afflicted
with is lame back. Apply Chamber
lain's Liniment twice a day and mas
sage the parts thor ughly at each ap
plication, and you will get quick relief.
