Frederic Herzog is a young actor of more than ordinary ability, and was well supported by the entire company. We predict for them full houses each evening. A KIND word costs but little but it may brighten and bless for a day the one to whom it is spoken, and many times a kind word lives in the heart long years and bears fruit of joy and of hope. All have worries and burdens, but we should not on that account become misanthro­ pic and irritate all near and dear to us. Speak< lightly in the morning; it will lighten the cares of the day and make the household and its affairs move along smoothly. Speak kindly at night, for before another dawn some loved one may finish their span of life for this world and it will be too late to retreat or to ask forgiveness or the angry words.

It is hoped that every voter will come out and express freely their views on the matter. That some­ thing must be done is a self-evident fact, and if the voters of the District will all turn out and consult together some­ thing may be devised that will be of benefit to all. Remember the date, Thursday evening July 21st, and be on hand at the City Hall. ~ • He Never Would be Missed. The Fulton Journal has been out look­ ingfdr a man who "would not* be miss­ ed." It has found him and thus describes him: "A peculiar man is he whose dear­ est object is a nickle, whose public enter­ prise subsides when it costs a dimes, who poses as a christian, but when a little luciy is required his soul quakes with an­ guish; who condemns the rapacity of others while his hand instinctively seeks to clutch' a shining copper in his pocket; who is deeply interested in his town, but would not spend a farthing for its pros­ perity ; who easily detects the faults of others but never his own; whose soul rammed and jammed into a mustard seed would have as rau^i room as a frog in the ocean."
