A white woman named josie Camp
bell, about. one month ago left a little
boy between three and four years old in
care of Maria Chalmers and Leah Rich
ardson. while she went to Greenville,
since which time she has not been heard
Of. The child in the meantime has suf-
fered terrible neglect and has been al
most starved to death. One day last
week the two colored women left it to
90 cotton picking and it strayed into
the hands of Irelia Suber, colored, who
fed it and took it to Dr.. FAINT for treat
ment. The Doctor gave tho woman
medicine and advice, and says he never
saw little child in worse condition
and more deserving of sympathy and
help. We trust the town authorities
will look into the matter and provide
for the child's care.

Didn't Know Chicken from Turkey

She didn't know chicken from turkey;
High Spanish and Greek
She could fuently speak
But her kuQWledge Ct Uni.ltrS was murkv.
She could tell the great uncle of Moses
And the dates OF the wars of the Roses
And the reason OF THU gs-
Why the Indians wore rings
In their red, aboriginal noses.
Why Shakespeare was wrong in his grammar.
And the meaning of tmerso IS ''Brah ma"
And she went chOpping rocks
With little black box
And small geological hammer.
She bad views upon CO. education
And the principal needs of the nation,
And her glasses We're blue;
And the number she knew

And she wrote in handwriting clerky,
And she talked with an emphasis jerky
Ard she painted on ii es
In the sweetest of styles,
But she didn't know chicken from turkey.
