That the establishing of a
newspaper is the best boost for
a town or village is a question
llias has never been disputed.
It is the foundation for the be-
ginning of a city; its news items
speak louder than the voice and
places before the public what
tiie community isdoinjr or striv-
ing to do. Not another establish-
ment can do more for the com-
munity than a newspaper and the
puolic should appreciate this
and help boost.
The way t j boost is commence
to demand coupons with your
next purchase and not only will
you assist the merchants who
are boosting, but you will help
the lady boosters as well. In
another column you will find the
list of merchants who are boost-
ing.

Bribed By his Pocketbook
Bribery of public officers is highly
condemned by all honest men The
man who,holding public offlce, accepts
bribe which Influences his official con-
duct is properly denounced as con-
temporary puts it as a traitor to his
trust.
There is another bribery, however
more dangerous because more subtle,
or which the law provides no punish-
ment and for which only ti e whip ol
public scorn can afford penalty. Thi-
bribery 1$ by one's own pocketbook.
Some men who would seorn the bribe
ollered by nnother will aec p' without
apparent misgiving bribery from
themselves.
I "It will hurt my business." This Is
j the plea made by persons who are

It is a sellish plea, hut i: is more; it
; is a criminal plea. It is on the sad!)

j ion condemns and the criminal law

An Ideal Home
We bear a groat deal these times
about the ideal happy home, and men
are not scarce who expect all the rt-
quisites for a happy home to com
from one side of the house.
A woman may do her level best >
make life and home happy for bei
husband and children, but if she is
| treated as a slave, and only given liei
board and clothing in payment for
her services as mother, wlf •, cook,
laundress, nurse gir, chambermaid,
and sea Ills I r> s-i, is it any wo ider that
little or no happines< exists in that
home? Ha mother spoils ber son
by pampering and waiting on hir" ali
the years of his childhood and bn
hood, and making him think that a
man should always be wa tei on by a
woman of his household, i.- it strange
tint he expects a wife to do the same
and that, in all likelihoo • , she either
wears out in a few years from such
service or else becomes b tter or dis-
heartened. We are oft-n told that
in every true and ideal marriage both
husband anil wi 'e must learn to bear
and forbear. In every home wheie
happiness exists, there mu-t be per-
fect trust, confidence and love be-
tween husband and wife. There are
two kinds of sunshine in the world,
and both quite pecessary—tl.e one
which is caused by the sur.'s shining
outdoo*, and tho other by shining in
our hearts. It is the loving deeds,
Xthe cheery hopeful words and the
kindly thoughtfulness that each mem-
ber of the fanlly shows towards the
Others that makes an ideal, happy
home a perfect beayen on earth.
Baptist Revival In April
At a meeting of the advi-ery com-
mit tee ol the the Baptist church Sun-
day, it waidecided to hold a revival
beginning early in April. Rev Scott
former paster of the church, will as-
-i~t in the meeting.
.Visited Atlanta, all ol the papers
united in praising his interpretation
of the leading part.
Finally George 11. Brcnnnn engaged
him specially, at the largest salary
ever paid to a new star, to make a
tour of the Texas Cities. And so he
is coming here in the near future at
the Hrailing heading his own eom-
patiy, in what many people have sty-
led"the largest and greatest Dixon
drama,"—"The Sins of the Father."
Thus controversy has -ad the effect
of making the former Baptist clergy-
man the star actor of his own pro-
duction. The play itself deals with a
vital social problem, and the compli-
cations are caused by the suspicion
that one of the characters is tainted
by an admixture of negro blood.

Why Divorce Is So Common To-day
This generation sees divorce more
frequent, not because men mil women
ar e more wicked,but l)pc«4ii*e married
live is made more difficult by the ex-
citement and complexity ami in mi fold
strains of modern life which render
unhappy man iages more unendurable
A broad gap opens between the hot
present and the dull quie . of oth v
days, when the husband passed uis day
in a steady and continuous round of
work, when no avenue in life but
marriage opened before most women,
and both men and women passed lives
from which excitement, worry and
the anxious rush of this day wen-
absent. Any candid man who will re-
construct the life of sixty and eighty
years ago will be convinced that,
while that day had in it much of se- I
cret wickedness—as court and church
records show—it had aiso conditions j
