His Faith Was Rewarded.

They were going to try a colored man
for stealing a quantity Of raw cotton,
and when the hour arrived went up to
the courthouse to hear the case. The
prisoner was q man about 40 years of
age and had elected to plead his own
case. The prosecution proved that the
bag Of cotton was found in his cabin,
and the property was fully identified as
belonging to the owner Of compress
The prisoner asked no questions, but
said he wanted to make statement and
rest his case "wid de Lawd." After
awhile he was given an opportunity to
speak, and hesaid: avus ~

The prisoner received his sentence

pected 1t, and was taken away. Two
weeks later ! met him On the streets of
Selma, 80 miles away, and said to him:
why, thought you were in Jail for
four months over at Florence?'
"Yaas, I was," he replied.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
ofense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accountsto
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
afRuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
SO frequently and SO carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue
and prices and note the variety
offered. Telephone us-240.

cessful author recently. "That a

ing in life that IL clever woman

q stupid one. Education develops
a woman's power IN every direc-
ton and makes her more capable
