Signs of Election
One of the chajr warmers sang a
song, “There’s a Hot Campaign a
Cotning,” oue verse of which said :
‘'Speeches now are growing longerj
Days are full of gruff,
And the mails are heavy laden
With the same old stuff.
Same old charges now are flying
Through the atmosphere,
And we know by old familiar signs
That election day is near.”—Ex.
The Home Merchant.
Mid pleasures and palates though
I may wend, I find the home mer¬
chant a much valued friend—the
mailorder catalog woos me in vain,
for to pay without seeing may
bring me a pain. The home mer¬
chant credits till pay day arrives—
he knows all the whims of his
frjenis and their wives. 11 is over¬
alls wear like the buckskin of old,
his buttons ain’t glass, if he tells
you they’re gold 1 Of every com¬
munity he is a part, and even the
kids know the path to his heart,
He boosts for the chapel, the lodge
and the school—“Community up¬
lift” is ever his rule—and even the
basepall and basketball teams, look
kindly on him, in athetic dreams.
I’d rather have him at my elbow
each day, than to deal with a
shark, many furlongs away. Let’s
make the thing mutual, and stand
by our friend—there’s no place like
home, for the money we spend! —
Pioneer, Madras, Ore.

You and Your City.
Do you owe your city anything?
If you do, pay it. Y ou nfiay have
paid your taxes, your house rent,
your water and light bills and your
church assessment, and in doing so
you may think you have liquidated
all claims there are against you ;
but there are others that need your
attention. Is your oity thrifty.
Are the streets clean, well paved
and well ligted? Is there a system¬
atic effort to make your city beauti¬
ful? What about your park and
its shrubbery? Are your houses
neatly painted, the lawns well-kept,
the alleys free from litter and
refuse, and are the people contented
and happy? If they are not, and
if the surroundings are not as clean
and beautiful as they should be,
your debt to your city has not been
paid; for you have neglected to
raise your voice for a better and a
higher standard of municipal econ¬
omy. Think it over, feflaw citi¬
zens. We all owe At to ourselves
and our pity to make our environ¬
ment as beautiful and sanitary as
possible, not only for our own
good, but for the benefit of I he city
in which we live and raise our
families.—Covington News.

The Cleve-Hi Literary Society

Toccoa, Thursday, to hear and see
the contestants. We must say,
however, that they had a nice time
to go, but coming back they found
the roads some what “sticky.”
This school term has almost
wound her great ball, soon, the
ball will be done, and her students
scattered. My! My! where will
they go?
Some will be on the farm
Trying to shun all harm,
Some will jnst pass the time away,
And not take time to say, good-day.
And some are going to have fun,
If they can out run the sun ;
Again, there are a few,
Who’s going to work,
Regardless of the dew.
The maps have come, In fact,
they have been on hand for quite a
while. There wasn’t any school

A LAY SERMON; THE
OY ER DRESSED GIRL.
Young, Expensively, Dressed
Ofiics-Woman, you may wonder
why it is that girls, plainer in dress
and face succeed in getting good,
earnest frugal husbands while you
seem to attract only the butterfly
sort or fellows who have at least
half of their week’s pay spent be¬
fore they receive it.
\ r ou know-you are better dressed
and more attractive in appearance,
and you have more admirers than
they, but these girls get the best of
you when it comes to choice in life
partners.
Well, it’s this way, you attract
the worthless fellows because you
are so extravagant,
i You can look a part well, but
that is all they want of you, any
\Vay.
The shallow fellow is more or
less on dress parade attitude and
consider the girl only from the up
tj>- the-minute style standpoint.
( Now, which sort do you care to
virin, the young man of good sense
or the shallow one? '
If a young man has the right sort
of respect and feeling for a girl lie
Wants to tee her neatly but suitably
dressed in accordance with her oc¬
cupation, and that means beyond
criticism. The overdressed girl
shows she has no place to go to wear
good clothes or she would save them
to wear at the right time and place.

“FORDS ARE SCARCE’
If you intend to buy a Ford this Spring or Summer, please let us
have your order at once.
In order to get Ford cars of the type we want, it is necessary for us
to order them from thirty to sixty days in advance of the expected date
of delivery. It is practically impossible for us to order just exactly
what people want unless they give us their demands before we place
order for these cars to be built.
Ford Motor Company is determined that their dealers will never
again be overstocked on Fords. They 4re only going to build what
we can sell, and no more, so please give us your order. If the pres¬
ent demand for Fords continues new ones will be selling at a premium
in less than thirty days.
