NEW ROAD TO McINTYRE. |
There ig a street leading across the
town site of Mecllntyre, which crosses
the railroad at the public road crcssing
at Mclntyre depot and leads north to
the creek passing between the store
house of W. W. Walden and -W. M.
Deason. Should this be made a public
road and continue ‘north in a straight
course for the distance of one mile,
it would there intersect with the pres
ent public road at the fork near the
Cranford place and Dave Criswell's.
This rcad would pass by the house of
Harris Criswell and lead near the
house of the old Ethridge place, where
Billy Grimes mow lives. The advan
tage of this new road would he short
ening the distance from the said Cran
ford place to Mclntyre on 2 and one-half
miles, and this proposed road would
save the entire community around that
section of the county a three-mile drive
or walk in a trip to Mclntyre and re
turn; do away with the road and
bridge above Mecllntyre and the road
to the Cruthchfield place and ccnnect
the road from the Cruthchfield place
to the new road at the most suitable
place,_al}d 't.herej.by‘ you will shorten
.this road to Mclntyre one mile; and a
still further benefit is to be derived
by a shortened road; after crossing
the creek, with a new road, as afcre
said, there can he cpened a road to
the Temple place, which would greatly
|ibenefit the pecple in the community.
Near Jerame Jackson's, this would en
|able them to get to their railroad depot
at a shortened distance of two miles.
We should realize that Meclntyre is
the freight depot for all in this sec
tion, and to remain as such for an in
definite period; we should realize that
to straighten thig rcad, as above stat
ed, would result in the same tning as
moving Blocdworth district one and
one-half miles nearer the railroad.
Think of the saving to each individual
in that section in hauling out their fer
tilizers alone, not to mention the
freightage.
We snould petition for this road at
onece, as it stands to reason that it
will be done some time, and we should
not stand in our own light and wait
for the younger generation to do all
the improving. Our commissioners
have done some permanent ircn bridge
work in our old county, and I hear the
rumer that Toomsboro is to get a new
iron bridge and a new short road, and
our commissioners will hear cur trou
bles, if we will take them to taem.
Wake up and don’t wait for something
to be handed to you c¢n a waiter.
Give us good roads, short roads,
straight roads, iron bridges and con
victs and a property tax to wecrk the
roads. J. B. STEENS.
WHINING DOESN'T
BRING SUCCESS.
Keep Your Tribulations to Yourself if
You Want to Win Life’s Battle.
It is only the sham martyrs who
boast of their martyrdom and tell about
it. The real martyrs are so busy do
ing their work well that they have no
time to whine, says the New Idea Wo
man's Magazine for June. And in dc
ing their work they find relief from
their afflictions. If any woman is
forced to earn her own living she will
find life much easier and brighter if
she bravely and quietly takes ap what
ever work she finds to do and keeps
the whine out of her voice. 1
1t is bad taste to peddle your own
tribulations about among your friends,
and is worse than useless. To get along
in this busy, bustling, nut happy world,
the woman who works must have ener
gy and courage and good sense at
[her command, and be able to apply
Ithem daily and hourly. The reason so
'many women workers fail is because
ithey spend the time they should be
working in’ complaining, and so miss
the great opportunities to flse that lie
all about them. ,
The woman who succeeds does not
bore her friends and strangers with
her personal sorrows and trials. She
knows that the outsider is not inter
ested in her struggles and strifes. She
wears a smile upon her face when a
tear is in her heart, and by keeping
silent about her woes she thus arrives
at success.—The New Idea Woman’s
Magazine,
| IN MEMORY
Os Little Wilton Pierce, Son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. W. Pierce.
It is with a sad heart that 1 write
a few lines in memory of my bright
little nephew, Wilton Pierce, whose
pure spirit the white-robed angel bore
away on its snowy wings to the heav
enly home above to be with cur loving
Savior forever.
Just one week ago tonight, he
breathed his last hreath here in this
world of care and trouble. We did so
much desire to see the little bud of
childhood, that seemed so intelligent‘
and premising, blossom into manhood.
But, alas! the allwise God, who doeth!
all things well, saw fit to take little
Wilton unto Himself.
His death was caused by being ac
cidentally scalded with hot water. -
While it is hard indeed to bear, and
he was snatched away in ‘health, yet,
dear parents, God is a just and an
allwise God, and has promised to be
with ns in every trial, if we only trust
Him.
He says, “Suffer little children to
come unto me, for of such is the king
dom of heaven.” Your darling is shel
tered by everlasting arms, ten thou
sand times stronger than your own
safe from the temptationg and snares
of this world.
May the Lord in heaven bless you
and help you to be resigned to His
holy will.
Little Wilton was aged only thir
teen months and one day. His body
was interred in the Dupree Cemetery,
April 21, 1908, in the presence of
many rclatives and friends. Written
Hhv OLA CANNON.
