A Few Thoughts
lor the Thinker.
It is our candid opinion that
tin: tow n of Crawfordville will
never amount to any more than
it does now, as long as there is
so much petty bickering among
the citizens
Ii is hardly possible to have
a business or friendly talk with
a man here unless there is some
tiling said about “that crowd,'*
or “your side,” or ‘ our crowd”
or “your side.”
We may be mistaken, but we
do not believe we belong to any
“side” or auy “crowd,” when it
comes to voting our convictions.
"We are not a “mossback” or
“orthodox” in anything. Wo
try to tie independent in our ac
tions and try not to be swayed
h y prejudice or partisanship.
>Ve endeavor to be .'air and
honest in our dealings with our
fellow-man. Wo are not a
trimmer. If we are not for a
man we think it is best to tell
him so, if he asks us.

Do net act the hypocrite by
leaving him under the impres
sion that you are lor him and
then slip around and treaeher
ously knife him.
Hu a man—be an honest man.
Men should differ with one
another in matters political
without falling out. Tf you get
defeuby*^ ur opponent ou
the back .and say to hint: “You
beat me this timo, but I'll try
and defeat you the next.”
But most men are tickle.
Twoof tuem will tight hard over
a thing, and in twelve months
maybe seen pulling together
just as hard as they fought each
other previously.

We ran across a few lines the
other day which struck us very
forcibly as being very applicable
to every human being. They
ran something like this:—
“There i t so little good in the host of us
That it behooves none of ns
To criticise any of us.”
It is a fault of nearly every
one to tiud fault, criticise, and
condom every other being within
our knowledge—save perhaps a
few of the individual members oi
our own family. Just stop, dear
reader, and see if you can think
el single person who now lives
°r over has lived that cotne up
to your standard of an ideal life.
Is there one? Do you suppose
that your life is entirely blame¬
less?
*
^
Life's rugged road is full of
pitfalls, and it is doubtful if any
man—save the Son of Bod alone
has over been able to land safely
into the Celestial City without
his linen being soiled, or “the
smell of tire about his garments.
Then instead of a spirit of criti¬
cism predominating, should we
not as fellow mortals traveling
to we know not where, rather
sympathize, forgive, forget, and
lend the strong arm of unity,
fraternity and brotherly lore to
our comrades who are traveling
the same rocky road we are, and
are subject to just as severe
trials and temptations and short
corni tigs as we are. or probably
■ore. For often what is one
man’s temptations is none what
ever to another, and vice versa.
***
Let us cultivate a spirit of for
giveness and forgetfulness, and
learn to obey the Divine com¬
mand to love our neighbors as
ourselves, remembering that is
unity there is strength, and that
no man can live to himself alone.
Life is to a groat extent what we
make it. People come and people
go; today they are alive; to¬
morrow we consign their lifeless
bodies to the tomb. They have
traveled the same road we are
traveling and j/^gaHjk.r ......
tion of time wh<»n we, too, shall
cross the dark river—when our
bodies shall return to the dust
from which they came, and our
souls shall seek immortal rest in
the unknown somewhere.
»**
Quit your fault finding, criti
cising, condeming, and be move
long-suffering and forbearing,
realizing at all times that the
world needs all the love and
sympathy we can bestow. Man
is not damned so much for what
he does as for what ho does not.
“I was a hunger, ye fed me not;
I was naked, and ye clothed me
not; I was sick and ye yisited
me not.” * * * “Inasmuch
as ye did it not unto one of the
least of these ye did it not unto
me. Depart thou cursed.’’etc.
When you’re tempted to criticise
stop and ask yourself the ques¬
tion: “Ain I perfect; is my life
perfetl.v blameless before the
world?”—
MONEY HOT HARD TO MAKE

Interesting and absolutely
