TliC Courier i- growing better
day %‘.dHy"if» it every way. If it
keeps.-off will soon be it great
daily? You might think that a
mountain cyltntv couldn't nriiu
tain a daily. Atlanta has several
and White county is two or three
times as large as the Gate Cith.
John Smith and Fido were over
this way recently. Everything has
gone wrong with him. His wife
has gone wild over the new fash
ionsjhis son has lost out in the ball
game; itis daughter tailed to get
the crown of May roses; the old
has gone to stump-sucking; the old
■cow has tuberculosis ; the pig has
the yellow jaundice; Fido ha
tularemia; the cotton seed is in tin
sack where it is not bothered b\
the boll weevil; the trust and
the monoplies have the people in
'their claws, and he further says
it hut we will soon be under a petti¬
coat govornment. Every cloud
thus a silver lining and lie hadn't
stopped to count his blessings one
by one. If you were to count his
(blessings in dollars and cents n
would be about as follows: Health
2o cents, interest in the govern¬
ment $40, two good eyes worth 20
■cents apiece, two pigeon-twoed
feet 25 cents apiece, tiie sense of
sfneHing $501 one gulf us worth
5 cents, one pair slioes worth
cents, one pair pants worth 15
cents, one shirt worth 10 cents,
wife valued at $5,000, and a moth¬
er-in-law $10,000. Everything has
a dark and a bright side. Up.had
only been looking on the dark side
Hut now the clouds have banished
away—lie sees the blue mountain 1
of hope in the distance and lie will
now go forth to conquor. Hon
happy is he born and taught who
lives (<u his own sphere. Frying to
react) heights we can’t attain breed 1
a great deal ot the misery of mor¬
tals here below. The farmer that
goes forth to sow and reap amid
the sounding of the mountains
will) mocking bird as his chief
musician gets more out of life than
the millionaire who rides through
the Blue Ridge mountains in his
paltial car. The blacksmith win
forges his chain link by link enj >ys
life belter than the one who beats
a load of stocks, bonds and mort¬
gages. The angle worm which
dines on clay and lives ki a dark
dungeon loves life and reaches the
height of its delight when it is put
on the Doy’s fish hook I lien it sees
visions of the sucker. The mother
in Israel who visits the sick, cFecrs
the faint, and closes the eyes of tin
dead and gives hope to the way-|
ward is of far more importance j
than the society queen accompanied
by her pet poodle dog. Lhen th
question cotnes who is fit r J1
that stays in his own sphere seems
to be the answer. The time w 1 •
when they were turned down be-i
cause they were young but that i-j
reversed now. Some do their be-t
work in youth and some on on tl
shady side of seventy. So age or
beauty will not decide ii This
world is a stage and we .ire liie
actors, so said the poet. Washing¬
ton said : “Young men for war and
old men for counsel.” And lie
never told a lie about the cherry
tree for his father was looking m.

11 rains and rains, rams straight
down,
Rains in die country mil it rains
in town.
It rains on the rich, and it rains
on the poor,
Too wet to plow, even under the
floor.
No use of fretting, no use

For still we’re living, that beats

If you have ■ no money—1

Fhe bank goes broke, your God
you thank,
Well, good folks, we are trying
to think of something to tell you.
While we are not very guilty ol
iliinking, but we ^certainly would
like to think one good “think-uv
k” so that we could have i: to sat
tnat we had “thunk oi it.” Hut,
anyway, by the way, down this
way, we may have a way of liunt
a way, that’s an easier way than to
think-avvay. And as we can’t
tlunk of any way to think without
using our thinker, so decided we
will try to get the little dwarf
stirred up and maybe it can make
sort oi an out at thinking.
Well, here you are: We think,
yes we do, that we ought to say to
our old White county friends that
we still think of them, even it we
are away a mile or two below the
ctianty line, and we see some of
them passing thriugh occasionally,
and they sti.fi hnow us. Ret yotit
they do. And you know we
went to the post office to get our
Courier and there was a great big
eight-page paper in the box. And
it was Tire Courier, so it was, and
we read it all, so we did. It’S a
pleasure to see the paper grow, so
it is, and we are going to keep
it, so vve are.
Who knows, it may be a com¬
occurance in the near future

steps scuttling over a water¬
Who knows?
Say folks, ii you have payed

never studied science, but
