THURSDAY AUGUST 9, 1906. Almost every merchant agrees that prosperity is induced by prosperity in other words, nothing succeeds like success.

An influential citizen of lone has re quested us to overlook the ravings of the long eared muddle brained insect that pretends to preside over the des tiny of the Proclaimer. This party says: "Carter is not to blame, he doesn't know any better and is keep ing lone in a muddle continually. , He is hurting the entire county." We re frain from making any reply to the jumbled item in the last Issue of the Proclaimer, and we do not care to bring ourself down to the low level of the man behind the "mouthpiece". SENTENCE SERMONS By Henry F. Cope. Convenience often poses as con science. The honest cask does not fear the knocker. Unless you lay out your work, your work will lay you out. It doesn't take many bracers to make a binder The chesty man seldom has accommodations for a full grown heart. The tears that accompany a choking up process are not always those of re pentance. You cannot prove your grit by throw ing sand into the world's sores. The things you look at in private de termine what you look like in public. Jump at a conclusion 2nd you will find confusion. Many a door of opportunity is closed to a man on sccount of his chest measure. imagined Many a man think he is spiritual be cause l.e has forgotten how to benatu ral. ' While sympath waits for second thoughts selfishness gets the floor. You can discount the Datriotism that never warms up till the pocket book is in danger. Trouble is theonly thing that comes in answer to the prayer for something tp turn up. The man who has brains back of his forehead never needs to bother as to how the front of it looks. tnnciueHKiiry Kxprniao Acute attacks of colic and diarrhoea come without warning and prompt relief must be obtained. There is no neces sity cf incurring the expense of a physician's service In such cases if Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose of this remedy will relieve the patient before a doctor could arrive. It has never been known to fail, even in the most severe and dangerous cases and no family should be without it. For sale bv W. P. Mc Millans No man ever made enough money to build a mausoleum for his guilty past. The man who is sitting hari on thorns In his own lot has. a fine appre ciation of his neighbor's roses. Lacks Chin, but Not Grit. It is generally believed that a man of force must have chin. Not only the mentum, but the entire inaudi ble, must be well developed. Yet here is John Redmond, the new lead er of the Liberal party in England, with no ehin to speak of, one of the most ambitious men in public life, distinctly clover, always lighting against heavy odds, always coining up smiling after every defeat and finally accomplishing. John Red mond declared war against Great Britain many years ago, provoking shouts of laughter on both sides of the house of commons. There is no laughter now, only wonder and obe dience.
