THE FOLLY OF TOTING A GUN FROM THE KANSAS CITY STAR
A little sermon on peach by Home Hoch: "Old Bill Jones always carried a gun or two, and by much practice when he should have been at work, he became a crack shot. He said that he didn't propose to be caught unprepared and that he went armed in order to keep out of trouble. But Old Bill Jones was in more brawls than anybody, and was finally gathered to his Father by a gent who was a little quicker on the trigger. Nations have been proceeding on the Bill Jones theory. This theory, played up strong by the Honorable Krupp and others has been that in order to insure peace they must be ready to fight at a moment's notice. But the nations are just like Old Bill. The Bill Jones theory is ready for the junk pile.

If this raining keeps up all through the season where will what few passable roads that are left be? It only proves the contention of all good citizens and that is this: that we should build roads in this country which would stand this rough treatment. Lets all talk for more permanently constructed road beds.
Terlton and vicinity has been blessed with prosperity for its entire past and will continue to be as long as the earth shall stand for its prosperity is based on the solid things of this sphere and not on the more fickle things fruits of the boosters brain for instance. As well may be remembered, we are located in one of the best farming districts in our fair state. We are permitted raise an abundance all of the crops which may be grown in any part of the country, and that with a reasonable degree of assurance of unlimited success. Therefore, we say again that we have faith in the future of this city not in its being a second Chicago, New York, Tulsa or our having 10,000 inhabitants by this time next year but in it being a small one that enjoys a real substantial footing in the scheme of things. We have now in our immediate neighborhood more of a showing of crude oil than some other towns that are making a great hue and cry about their having a twenty barrel well. Let us look well to our many advantages then get busy and help build up this our home town.

Gaining entrance to the Post Office by breaking the glass out of one of the back windows, the drug store by breaking the glass out of a section of the front and the other store by one of the back windows.

There is one thing sure and that is that we can have more different kinds of weather here in the same day than any other country on the face of the earth. As it will be remembered, the wind blew like blazes all last week, it rained like the dickens Friday nigh, was colder than thunder Saturday and snowed like fury all day Sunday when we should have been having nice spring weather. Who should worry? Even the weather man can't tell what we are to have two hours ahead. Nevertheless, we hear no more talk of that dry spell.
J.B. Perkins died at his home here about two o'clock Wednesday morning and was laid to rest after funeral services held at the Christian Union Church, conducted by the Methodist minister from Jennings, in the Terlton Cemetery, Thursday afternoon.

WASH OUT
The recent high water washed the crossing known as the Johnson crossing, out and the road at that point has been in such a shape that cars haven't been able to cross since Other than this place the road toward Hallett and Cleveland is in fair shape. There is no excuse for not having a bridge at this point and we should have had one at this time had certain parties remembered some promises made back in the past. Let's get to work and give someone another change.

Remember it is necessary that you hunt up your precinct registrar and make application for registry during the first ten days of May. Don't sleep on your rights. Make it a point to look up your precinct registrar on the first day of May and see that he registers YOU. Every voter owes his allegiance to his party and here is a change for him to show that he has its interest at heart. Every man who fails to make application to register might be termed a traitor to his party and to good government.
