The family of Mr. and Mjk. Joe
Tocle sustained a decided loss Sun
day evening when a Jersey cow,
which lias given four gallons of
milk a day, came home with a gash
in her side from which her intest
ines soon began to protrude, In
spite of persistent eff jrts to keep
her from rupturing the intrails, she
soon tore one into; and as we Were
advised that she could uot then be
cured, we asked that she be killed.
We had never appreciated a cow so
much as we did her; and, am al
most surt we will never own an
other which will give so much rich
milk.

Why does a young man embrac
ing his girl at the garden gate, just
as the old man approaches,remind
you of a IGve scene at the theatre?
Because Le is hugging bis girl
before the foot lights,
Baseball is as old as tbe world,
as is proven by tbe first line in
Genesis: “In the b’g-inning,” etc.
Apollo is said to be tbe first man
who everstruck a lyre. If fie bad
only hit him a little harder we
might not have bad so m my mag
nificent liars at tbe present time
Men are strange creatures. I'bey
will spend an hour huntinga collar
button instead of having an extra
one and letting their wife find the
missing one. You never see a
woman look for a pin she drops;
Her husband finds it when he walks
around in his bare feet.
So you are mad at your husband.
Are you going home tayour mother
No, I shant do anything to please
him any more.
What is tbe most difficult train
to catch? The 12:50. because it is
.‘ten to one” if you catch it.
At first a girl wants nothing but
a husband. After she gets him, she
wants the earth.

How To Get On In
The World.
Most of our successful men be
gan iit'e without a dollar. They
have won success by hard work
aniLstrict honesty. You do tliel
sumo. Here are rules for getting!
on in tbe world: •
1. Ee honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when it does,
riches are a curse. There is no
such thing as dishonest success.
2. 'York, The world is noti oing
to pay for nothing. Ninety percent
of what men call genuis is only a
talent for hard work.
3. Enter into that business of
trade you like best, and for which
nature seems to have fitted you,
providing" it is honorable.
4. Be independent. Do not iean
on others to do your thinking or to
. conquer your difficulties.
5. Be conscientious in the dis
charge of evt ry duty. Do your
work thoroughly. No onecan rise
who slights bis work.
6. Don’t try to begin on top.
Begin at the bottom and you will
be surer of reaching tbe top, some
lime.
Don’t Be A Knocker
sKyf your neighbor is prosperous,
let him prosper.
■ . Do not growl cr grumble.
7 Say a good word for him and let
it go at that.
Do not be a knocker.
ilf you see that the city is mov
ing along nicely, feel good about it.
. 11 clp things along.
Bhove a little.
. Push. Try and secure some of
(I ■ benefit yourself.
Don’totand around like a cadaver.
Do not waste time feeling son
because some fellow has a littl<
more, sand and sense than hot:
have.
Do a little bustling yourself.
If you can say a good word say
it like a prince. If you are full ol
bile and disposed to say somethin},
mean, keep your mouth closed.
po not be a knocker.
po man ever became rich anc
happy minding anybody’s business
st|e bis own.
& man ever helped himself u]
Bqrmanently by knocking hi
o lighbors down.
K ‘Give a kind word. Give it lib
Orally. It will not cost a cent, ano
wsffi may want one yourself souk
iw pay. There is nothing in it.
If you want to throw something
at so me body-throw cologne, oi
rbses. Do not throw brickbats, or
tpud. If you must kick-go behind
the barn and kick yourself. For if
you feel that-way you are the man
that needs kick ing.
But whatever you do, do not be
a knocker.
By watching theadverlisingcol
umns of a newspaper we are ena
b’ed to know the exact condition
of mercantile affairs and the gen
eral prosperity or depression in
the town where that paper is pub
flisbed. Wc can sit nt onr desk
j and pick out the live business towns
■ and the dead outs. There’s no bet
ter index to a town than its paper,
it is a better criterion to go by,
and is considered to by sagacious
men, than s photograph, it is tbe
enterprise of the inhabitants, and
not the size of the buildings, that
makes the town. Y r ou may pick
up a paper and read at a glance,
,‘We mean business” or “We’er
deader than a stuffed bird,” as plain
ai though it was printed in ten
line pica and in red ink across
every page.

‘Explanation
Gratifing.
We assure the MillerCuunty Li b
eral that we had no intension o!
getting it into trouble when we cop
ied its paragraph referring to Judge
Worrill as the “Ball Engle,” and
commented thereon.
; The item unused us. We were
confident that Judge Worrill would
construe it as a joke. He and Judge
Speer are of a different type in
several respects.
We spoke in mock seriousness,
md supoeed that Mrs. Toole, who
who presides over the Liberal with
to much ability and originality,
would perceive that we had written
in 'a spirit of fun.
She may be sure that we will
uevei knowingly “pave the way for
her to have.trouble.’’ We much
prefer to render her a service than
to cause her worry.
The Change Os
Ten Years.
A coyisti maiden stood before
the marriage altar, a picture of
loveliness, purity anu innocence.
Beside her stood a manly form
whom Ihe trusted with all her
I i&ft, and whCHßshe
ly vow to love, cherish, honor and
protect so long as life did last.
A beautiful home, bright with
sunshine and replete with peac*-
and pLnty, was the picture tl enJ
Now, how diffvrent-transformed
into the home of a fiend, nights
jf carousal. Sunshine, peace and
olenty gave way to darkness,strife
sorrow and shame.
Tne above is a picture in this
fair land of ours.
We hang it before y< u Chd
you guess who the artist, is? If not
then say whiskey.
The Business World
And The Newspaper
(By C. C. Cook.)
The men who are now overflow
ing with business are the men
wbese advertisements were kept
running during the entire siege oi
the late depression.
Advertising is just as great a
necessity to an active business life
as food and drink are to a healthy
physical existence.
If you stop eating you die for
want of sustenance; if you stop
advertising your business dies for
the want of publicity.
One step won’t take you very
far-you’ve got to keep on walking';
one word won’t tell folks what you
arc-you’ve got to keep on talking:
one inch won’t make you very tall
you’ve got to keep on growing; one
little ad won’t do it all-you’ve got
to keep ’em going. i
If you doubt the above state
ments, take The Atlanta Journal
one of the largest and best dailies
published this side of the Mason-
Dixon line and see how live mer
chants use printers ink.

Pushed To The
Front.
The following is a very truthful
remark.
Tbe man who grows up in his
native town is regarded as a boy
t by his elders until he is well start
ed down the declivity of life that
ends in the grave. The stranger
who comes into a ph>ce is more
often pushed to the front than the
y’oung man who has grown up
with Ike town. Thisistlio reason
so many young men become dis
satisfied wit ll their home surround
ings and long to cast their lot in
other quarters.
L. E. Calhoun.
Before the thunders indicating
that the war cloud had burst iu
Europe were heard, Air. L. E. Cal
houn had placed orders for large
lines of dry gqpds, millinery and
shoes.
His two large stores ara filled
with substantial and seasonable
goods, wliicl* he is now offering at
extremely lew prices, and offers to
take cotton in exchang at Bcts,
basis good middling.
His attractive “ad” appearselse
wbere in this issue. It will inter
est those not yet supplied with
winter c
The Liberal specially requests
its readers to refer to the “ad” in
the presence of )lie genial proprie
tor, his excellent salesman and his
I very efficient salesladies.
The Best Man In
Town.
The best man tre have in onr city
for the general good of the town
ie the one who you will alwavs sen
on the front seat in the progress
ive band wagon.
He is the first one to extend an
open and warm band to the strang
er and welcome him to the best
town iu tbe state.
He will resent an insult to our
town as quickly as be would a afur
at a member of his family.
He very politely invites the
chronic croaker to “move on. ’
He is ever ready to give his just
proportion to every public enter
prise.
He talks up cur town at home
aid abroad and believes it the best
place upon God’s graen earth iu
which to live and desires to be
buried here when he dies..
Let us ail try and be like this
man for ose year and our city will
on new life and improve as
never before in its bietorj.
