I LEXINGTON, OREGON, THURSDAY JULY 19, 19GG NO. 43 HANDY WITH THE BRUSH DEFICIENT IN BOOK LOBE A young married couple, says an eastern exchange, who recently went to housekeeping on Clybourn avenue, Chicago, according to the Inter Ocean, had just enough money to buy the necessary furniture, They had not sufficient cash to invest in . mottoes and pictures. The young wife is han dy with the brush, but has consider able yet to learn In books. She made an effort to supply the deficiency in mottoes for the wall by working at odd times on plain cardboard with water colors. . Here are some of the mottoes that now adorn the Clybourn avenue home. "A stitch in Time is the Noblest Work of God." "What Is Home Without a Fool and His Money?" "People Who Live In Glass Houses Flock Together, "Birds of a Feather Gather no Moss." "Honesty is the Thief of Time." "He who Fight and Runs Away Gets the Worm." "If in Union There Is Strength Then Tls Folly to be Wise." "Procrastination is but Skin Deep." j "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Child It is to Have a Thankless Tooth."

"Economy ' Never Did Run Smooth." "Use the Rod and Save the Jam." A CORRECTION. In an item appearing in last week's Issue, on the attitude of the lone Pro- claimer tovards the the Lexington band, the word "not" was omitted. That part of the item should have read as follows: "We do not believe that the business men or the members of the lone band approve of this slur cast by Bro. Carter, etc." COUNTY ASSICSSOK WAYLAID J.

SENTENCE SERMONS By Henry F. Copo. Need makes the neighbor. The lowly heart finds the higher life. Whiners are not winners. Difficulties are but doors of delight. It is better to right wrongs than to revenge them. No great work ever was done before a mirror. Too many men measure their horse power by their exhaust. The lazy man always Is proud of his patience. If your religion is not in everything, it is in nothing. Only a mercerized religion needs to wear a label. You cannot get at a man's heart by getting under his skin. ; The sins we wink at today are the ones we work for tomorrow. Things do not work together for good MAY I.IYK 100 TKA KS The chances for living a full century are excellent in the case of Mrs. Jennie Duncan, of Haynesville, Me., now 70 years old.

Price only SCd . v to the man who will not work at all It takes a wide-awake devil to make a sleepy church. There is a lot of difference between working for folks and working them. Many a man thinks he Is humble be cause he walks vith his nose in the gutter. Long public prayers point to short private practice. It's easy to think you are standing for public liberty when private license is in your eye. There is a world of difference be ween the 'rule of gold and the golden rule. The Bible Is a good time card,' but a man makes a mistake when he tries to use it for a ticket. You never can lift the submerged so long as you fear to soil your sleeves 11 K ATS THIS MUSIC ciJItK ' "To keep the body in tune." writes Mrs. Mary Brown, 20 Lafayette Place Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
