OCT. 29.... ....1915 The new High School auditorium gives the people nf Athena tbe oppor tooity of enjoying high olaea musical ami literary entertainments. These productions are as a role high class in oharaoter, and tba fact that tbey oome under tbe auspioes of tba eobool, with a portion of tbe prooaeda retained by tbe aobool for atbletioa and otber Innds, gives more than ordinary in terest in tbeir suooess. With tbe aplendid opportunities afforded by tbe auditorium, there will neoessarlly be need of discretion exercised in es tablishing (be itatna at tbe entertain ments to be given there. Care will be tBken that only tbe well known and accredited performera are received, which will result in good attendance and satisfied patronage. ' flow many farmers in tbia seotion of tbe county have a clear idea aa to tba best method of scouring good country roads? Doubtless mast of them bave given tbe anbjeot more or less seriooa thought, Bnd if tbey wonld only get together and go ont south of town and eae what Bill, Ferguson baa accomplished tbil bobbou witb a drag, tbere wonld be little use for further "good roads meetings" and other get together oooiaions,. Mr. Ferguson baa a stretoh of road ont tbere tbat could well ba taken as a model for ibe re maining dirt loaila of tbe county. Here is an opportunity for tba oountv court to net tbe 'standard for road working. Presnmubly about every person has hliorber mind centered upon some form of amnsement or entertalnmont for tbe winter season. Cot will snoh result in any particular value to tbe town or oonotryiide aa a wbole? If not, we are not making tba most of oor oppoitonlties. Winter evenings are long, and muob time meat be oon inmed, and at least a portion of tbat lime might easily be turned to prao tioal purposes, For Instance, we might bave a rousing big pnbllo meeting one evening a month in tbe sohool auditorium, at wbiob soma of onr ora torical lights oonld discourse on tbe waya and means of making this a bet ter and more prosperous oommouity. When you bear a person say tbat tba people of America will see good times beoaose tbey are having bard times in Enrope, jost make op your , mind tbat that pataoo is narrow via- loned. No morohant is ever benellt ted by the fact tbat one of bis patroua baa been ruined financially and other wise. The uionoy and what it repre sents will leave tbe whole world poor er and tbe people of America will be poorer with tba rest. Of oourae tbe edect opou oa will not ba so direct, tut H will te felt nevertheless.

You can bardly pick up a paper from any aeotion ot tba oouutry but what you will find the question agitated in Ittoolnmna. It is a good sign and speaks well for the future ot tbe oouu try at a wbole. f A' Mulligan Stew A certain friend of mine doing bus iness on Main street, north aide (no need to mention bis name) will en joy reading tbe following, penned by the Weston Leader a p. o. g. : "Colonel Boyd of Athena ia reported to be absent on bia annual booting trip, and tbe Leader is prepared to re affirm its standing bet tbat he doesn't even bring borne a jackrabbit.
