FROM THE OTHER SIDE
The American people are ever
ready to find fault with their
public officials and as a rule
are slow to bestow praise on
those who deserve it.
County officers are not usual-
ly selected with reference to
A party of young folks, mem-
bers of the B. Y. P. U., met at
the home of Miss Mae Boulware.
last Friday evening, Feb. 5, for
their regular social. • The even-
ing was spent in rendering
music, roasting marshmallows,
and contests. One contest be-
ing for each person to refrain
from talking for fifteen minute
(an unusual thing) and the
first one who talked was to
roast marshmallows for the per-
son addressed.
Those present were: Misses

an officer who has special fit-
ness for the duties of his oft ice*.
James J. McMillon, County
Commissioner from this district
is a shining instance of this kind
We doubt if any county in the
state has a better commissioner
than he. He has in addition to
experience special qualifications
for this place. Besides having
good common sense and honestv
a county commissioner should
be wide awake, he should be
pain-staking and he should be
fearless.
McMillon possesses these
qualifications in an unusual de-
gree. No deals have ever been
put through without him know-
ing anything about them. No
other Commissioner Kiowa ever
had devotes one half the con-
sideration to the county’s busi-
ness that he does.
Above and beyond all else a
county commissioner ought not
to be owned or controlled by
any one.
Even Mr. McMillon’s enemies
concede that he cannot be swerv-
ed by hopes of improper rewards
or threats of punishment.
Now I dont want to try to
dictate to the Democrats who
they shall nominate. I just

tically every taxpayer in his dis-
trict thinks. A. Republican.

Need for Sobriety of Mind.
Sobriety of mind is one of those vir-
tues which the present condition of
human life strongly inculcates. Tho
uncertainty of its enjoyments checks
presumption; the multiplicity of its
dangers demands perpetual caution.
Moderation, vigilance and self-govern-
ment, are duties incumbent on all; but
especially on such as are beginning
the Journey of life.—Dr. H. Blair.
Propinquity Breeds Discontent.
A wise philosopher has said that no
two persons, unless they are a man
and woman violently in love, can live
intimately together for ten years
without hating each other. The un-
conscious defect of one’s character,
his little whims and crochets, his pet
theories or his darling hobbies, are
sometimes the instrument of slow tor-
ture by which a man murders his
wife.
