The volunteer band, of Waco,
passed thru here Saturday en-
route near Hamilton to render a
program at a Baptist Church. By
previous arrangement, Rev. Fair-
child, our pastor, prevailed on
them to stop over with us Sunday

class job, as they made all the
corners and turns at the right
place, and claim also they have a
real first class ditch ready for
the reception of a trash mover to
test it out, which we hope will
come in a few days. Now if you
■don’t believe what I say about
this ditch, you can ask Tom Arp.

XJEW YORK is building some.
jL more cf those subways under
die ground. No use building am,
more, people can’t find their way
out of the ones they got now.
There’s people down underground
in New York that haven’t been up
for years.- New York people are
just like a lot of Gophers; every
time they see a hole in the ground
they grab a nickel and duck for it.
If they keep on living underground,
in two more generations their chil-
dren will have fur like a rat
What’s this Subway got to do
with ’Bull’ Durham?
Nothing.
AVhat do people outside New
York care about how New York-
ers live?
Nothing.
But there is an old saying that
one half the world don’t know how
the other half live, so I am telling
you how they live, not as an Ad but
as a fact. Five million Ground Hogs
in New York rush through life
missing one Train and being shoved
into the next. The real trouble is
that they can’t smoke ‘Bull’ Dur-
ham down there.
P. S. I’m going1 to write some more pieces
that will appear in this paper. Keep
looking for them.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!
, In 1860 a blend of tobacco
was "born—‘Bull’ Durham.
On quality alone it has
won recognition wherever
tobacco is known. It still
offers the public this —
more flavor, more enjoy-
ment and a lot more money
left at the end of a week’s
smoking.

“I think I’ll buy a better car,”
remarked Bob Hampton as be
wiped bis trowel preparatory to
stopping work for tbe day. “I
know where I can get a peache-
reno almost new for sixteen hun-
dred dollars. Only five dollars a
week to pay, and they’ll take the
old ear as the first payment.”
Old Turner Gill looked at Bob
in a way that made the younger
man feel a trifle uncomfortable.
“Old car getting pretty well us-
ed up, is it ? ” he asked.
“Oh, no, but it’s beginning to
look a little dingy.”
“How much money have you
in the bank, Bob?”
Bob grinned ruefully. “I got
a notice yesterday that my ac-
count was overdrawn. But this
is pay day, you know; I’ll pull
down sixty bucks.”
“How much of that sixty dol-
lars will be yours?”
“Well, there is an overdraft of
seven-fifty at the bank, a pay-
ment of five dollars on the baby
grand and five dollars on the
home. We owe the grocer about
twenty dollars. Then there are
some other little bills; I guess
about fifteen dollars.”
“About eight dollars to run a
family of four for a week. H’m.
Got your winter coal in?”
“No. I’ll have to save enough
for that out of next month’s wa-
ges.”
“If the work doesn’t shut
down. There’s talk of a strike,
you know. How much life insur-
ance do you carry, Bob?”
“I thought of taking out some
insurance, but the wife and I de-
cided we couldn’t spare the mon-
ey just now. My health has al-
ways been perfect, and there’s
not much danger of an accident
if you are careful. ”
“The other day,” observed Tur-
ner Gill, “I was reading about a
man who was walking carefully
down the sidewalk. A jay driver
came tearing down the street at
about sixty miles an bour. Some-
thing went wrong with the steer-
ing gear, and the car shot into
the curb, overturned and killed
the careful pedestrian. The fool
driver escaped with a barked
skin. It’s a big job to be careful
enough to make up for some oth-
er person’s carelessness.”
“In that case I suppose the
family got handome damages?”
said Bob.
“In that case the family didn’t
get anything! The jay driver
didn’t have anything for them
to get. Of course you are not
expecting to get sick or hurt or
killed, but, supposing you should,
what would become of your fam-
ily ? ’ ’
“I suppose the Lord will pro-
vide ; the Bible says He will. ’ ’
“The Lord is always ready to
provide, but He does not agree to
furnish any man’s meals ready
cooked. He has provided you
with two hands, a strong body, a
good job and splendid wages.
He expects you to make provision
during the fat years for the lean
years that may follow.—Youth’s
Companion.
