Show This is political yearand why shouldn't the people of this Valley decide upon a candidate for commissioner. This section sec-tion of the county is certainly entitled to representation on the board and we are informed that the people of the other end of the county are willing that we should have a commissioner. This is an important matter and should not be lost sight of in the shuffle of growing and harvesting crops, building dams, steel bridges, school houses, etc. Green River Dispatch. Every man, woman, and child has some talent, some power, some opportunity oppor-tunity of getting good and doing good. ' Each day offers some occasion for using this taient. As we use it it gradually increases, improves and becomes native to the character. As we neglect it ! it dwindles, withers and disappears. : This is the stern but benign law by which we live. This makes character real and enduring; this turns men into angels and virtue into goodness. Park Record. An exchange says: After you get angry and make up your mind to ' 'stop' ' your paper to make the editor feel humiliated, just poke your finger in water and look for the hole. Then you will know how sadly you are missed. The man who thinks a paper cannot survive without his support, ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes back he will find that half his friends did not know that he was gone; the world at large hadn't kept an account of his movements whatever. You will find things you cannot endorse in every paper. Even the bible is rather plain and hits some hard licks. If you were to get mad and burn your bible, the hundreds of presses would go on printing them, and if you were to stop your paper and call the editor all sorts of ugly names, the paper w-ould still be published. And what is more, you will sneak around and borrow a copy of it every week from your neighbor. It would be much better for you to keep your vest pulled down and your subscription paid a year in advance. |
