Choice fresh country butter is always
| 4 luxury and some times hard to get
Persons who experience any trouble
of this kind may be supplied by Mrs.
&. Smerdon. She brings quantities of

the greatest care by herself, Mrs.

| The followin" from the Greenville
Rcfecfor is good advice and applies as
well to Henderson as elsewhere. 1t
says: If anything is mentioned for
the upbuilding of Grecnviile and you
are not disposed to aid it, do not re-
tard the progress of the town by put
ting yourself in the way and attempt
inc to hinder any enterprise. Don't
cry down any movement simply be-
| cause YOU are not in sympathy with it
or can not be the controlling spirit in
it. Hands off if you can't put your
shoulder to the wheel.
1t takes lifetime to build char
actcr: it only takes one moment to
destroy one. How sensitive is right
eOusnc>s. how resentful is the spirit of
purity and nobleness: Yet some
people with neither character nor
nobility of soul fail to realize this or
act upon the principle of attending to
their own business Gf they have any and
letting other folks's alone. But perhaps
we should pity rather than censure since
they haven't sense enough to know
better or sufficient decency and self
respect to act differently if they know
how.
