Ho was a member of the villagecouncil for several years and alsoserved for a long tine as Clerk ofthe Board Ills zeal and Interest inall matters affecting the public wel ¬

faro were most commendableHo was cut off In the full strength

of a vigorous manhood at the age ofthirtysix years

EYES TOO SORE TO SEE EYE SORES

Eye soresnot sore eyes We shall write about that laterBut eye sores tend to make sore eyesor ought to

A man may wear a now suit a clean shirt a new collar and tiebut if his shoes aro worn and not blacked aud his hat faded and outof shape he is not dressed up and do s not look neat The newgarments ouly serve to cull attention tothe old Consistency is ajewel in matters of dress as well as mutters ofspeech

The same thing may said about k home It wont do verywell just to paint the front or whitewashor repair the fence in thofront of the house That will call attention to the back by contrastYou would not expect tho urea back of the house to look like the frontanymore than you would expect a feet to look like his headbut as you expect him to wear clean polishedshoes as wen as a goodhat when he dresses upso you would the area back of thehouse to get its appropriate attention along with the front

Now the school house had no lawn ho grass no flowers Strangethat criminals should be given more beautiful surroundings than thechildren It was all right for the criminals unless it might be saidthat it was a little bit too inviting But the school house was repul ¬

WANDERERS INVITED HOME

Shall They or Shall They Not HeedTho Invitation Both Sides SetForth by Prof John E Calfee

A railroad recently built thru a certain region of tho Appalachian mountains has a new one in the art of

building up Its passenger and freighttraffic Most roads by systematicallyand persistently distributing lllustrated literature have been able to convince great numbers that the land oropportunity lies just ahead of themBy selling their homes and Investinga few dollars in a railroad ticket theywill be carried to the very spot wherfortunes are easily made But by thisroad tho people are Invited to comebeck and find opportunity and hopeon the very spot they left years

At first thought this seems flatlycontradictory but the good sense andreasonableness of it gradually comesto light as the proposition Is thotover The degree of success of suchan enterprise can be approximatelyforecasted by a careful study of thereasons for the migration from tho

highlandsFromthe boyhood days of our

greatgreatgrandfathers the idea ofgoing west and growing up with thecountry has captive hords of youngmen to the land of promise A fewof them grew weary faintheartedand returned to share with theirfather the old homestead The majorIty remained to become successfuland leaders in the development ofstates This number has been great ¬

ly increased front time to time byothers who sold their mountainand moved to where there were bet¬

ter opportunities for getting goodhomes schools and churches for theirchildren They too have been cucessful and Appalachia can proudly in-

vite

¬

them to return home And per-

haps¬

a great many of them wouldbe delighted to get back on theirnative soil If they could leavesentiment to decide they wouldcome but there are other considera ¬

tions The things which they havestruggled long and hard for aro notImovable so they will not heed

callThofirst thought of any people Is

their opportunity for nicking a livingIf this chance Is not found at homothey should go where it is There
