The most undisirable man in any
community is the indifferent one
He takes no interest in politics nt
difference what the issues maybe 01
how warm the campaign. He can-
not even be depended upon to vote
He has no political convictions
and the candidate who solicitate>
his patronage goes away exasperat
ed. He can not be interested ii
any reform or any sort of inovemen
for civic betterment. This mm
quite frequently belongs to lodges
but he is no help whatever to lib
lodge. He can never be depende<
upon to be present at the meeting.'
Probably he has not attended ■<
meeting of his lodge for years. Oc
casionally this man has been i
member of the church. Probabl)
his name is still on the church boo!
but he cannot be depended upon t'
be in his pew on Sunday morning
He does nothing to support tlu
church either with his money or hi;
effort. If he is in the church ht
only stays there because he wants
the preacher to tell how long he
lived a consistant christian life
The man who has lost all his en-
thusiasm is ready for his burial robe
and the greatest contribution ht
will ever make to society is his life-
less dust.—C. C. B.
One way to boost your town anil
help business locally is to pay thost
small debts promptly next Tuesday,
August 1, when the bill is presented
to you. Business lags more fre-
quently because collections are slow
than from any other cause. Prompt
payments of bills enables the other
fellow to pay his bills promptly.
Thus a ten dollar bill may pay a
hundred dollars' worth of debt dur-
ing the day and make ten business
men smile, probably coming back
to the man who first paid the bill
to cancel his debt, before night.
forth its invitation to gather be-
neath the roof for the religious ser-
vices of the day? The tones of
these bells, majestic and grand,
pealing forth on Sunday mornings
have formed a distinctive feature
and served to make the dawn dif-
ferent from any other day. The
passing of these bells can only be
looked upon with regret. Church
boards in modern days, however,
look upon the church bell as un-
necessary and have decreed that it
must go. Although commemorated
in many an important event of the
last century, it is to play no part
in the twentieth century.
The new churches in Oklahoma
City which have been and are being
built, and without bells. Large
domes stand on the top of the edifi-
ces, but these serve merely for the
purpose of admitting light, and not
for housing one of the deep-toned
bells such as one hears in the towers
of the churches in the cities of
England, Normandy and Germany
It is one of the distinctive steps of
the present century.

Every battlefield that marks the
world's progress, the victory of liber-
ty over tyrany, or right over wrong
has been deluged with the blood of
our farmers. The farmer evades
neither the tax nor the recruiting
officer. The sons and daughters of
our farmers are filling the semi-
naries, colleges and universities of
the land, and from our farm homes
have gone in the past, as they an
going now, leaders in literature,
science and art, presidents of great
universities, the heads of great in-
dustrial enterprises, and they direct
our government. The typical
American today is the farmer, and
city life with its bustle and stir, its
hurry and rush must be replenished
from our rural homes—Texas Com-

When you are tilling the rich soil
think how much worthier is the
cause you are prosecuting than to
crowd in to some already over
stocked business or profession in
your home town, with only one ob-
ject in view—to have white hands
.md immaculate clothing, and to be
always struggling with your limited
means to keep up with those in out-
ward seeming appearances who are
much wealthier than yourselves.
Few towns in tfie state of the size
can compare with Hennessey in the
amount of business transacted at
this or any other season of the year.
It has become an established fact
that goods can be bought as cheap
here as anywhere, and in many in-
stances cheaper, and the price paid
for stock, grain, feed and all kinds
of produce is just as high and often
higher than is paid by other towns in
the state.

In looking over the records we
find a number of people have
never paid for the lots on which
their dead is buried. This should
be attended to at once. If you
have not the money, give the as-
sociation your note, as their nb
ligations must be met, and this
is the only manner in which they
can run their business satisfac-
torily.

thirty-one of whom have Pa'd
their year's dues. Dues should
be paid between January 1 and
Decoration Day fur the current
year, but the association will be

time.

be paid to Mrs. Minta Jackson,
