THE PUBLIC IS I I IF JUPGE
Lawyeis may present their evidence, examine witnesses, ar
gue their cases,—but the final decision rests with the judge or a
jury instructed by a judge.
This is as it should be. The public, like the judge, is impar
tial; it bases its decision upon evidence. It is not swayed by hear
say but by FACTS.
Here in this vicinity we are doing our part to enable the pub
lic to secure the facts about funeral service. Our establishment
is never closed to those who wish to investigate our service or
charge. Here, the public may see for itself the reason why so
many people in bereavement place their confidence in us.

was wrong —but he wouldn’t admit it.

When I got off the train at Tooms
boro some twenty years ago, to spend
four happy years publishing the Wi|.
kinson County Banner, W, A- Hall
turned and asked Herbert Stephens
if he knew that tall, presiding elder
looking fellow. Was reminded of
this Monday when told that a oret
ty lady visiting Irwinton for the first
time had said I looked like the pre
siding elder at her home town. Well,
I do have mv peaceful moments when
traffic is not too brisk along The
Street.
Olan Bragg has some seven-league
rubber boots that he carries in his
hands when he starts on a fishing
trip. I don't believe he wears them,
but. if any varmint makes a disturb
ance in the swamp Olan capsules
his head and feet in the shiny boots,
making a snake big enough to scare
the wool off of our local bears.

FULL
MEASURE
NO LEGISLATION can entirely
take the place of “ old-fashioned”
standards of honesty. “Full measure
is more a matter of character than of
law. Our pound has always been
made up of sixteen ounces.

Young folks soon find where some
thing good to eat is. Now you will
see them hotdogging and colddoping
at John Lindsey Carswell’s-
Monday morning sunned on John
son’s bench with Chas. Bruner of
Toomsboro, and discussed eye-glass
troubles, a subject mutually ipterest
ing. we being about equal in age ahd
vision. I used to wonder what older
people found to take up their time in
the unstiriing sunset years. Nature
provides plenty, and running down is
as fascinating as winding up.
