Miss louise seett's Party.

On Tuesday evening at the lovely
home of her parents on Fort King
avenue Miss Louise Scott very royalty
entertained about thirty of her young
friends. Everyone of Miss Scott's
guests say that they never enjoyed
an evening more.
Among the pleasant things done
during the evening was what was
called the "sky game" Each one
present was given a large star on
which was pasted tiny red stars and
a certain number. Around the walls
were stars and numbers correspond
ing to those on the big stars and the
guests were required to hunt up the
stars belonging to their cards.
When this was done it was found
that each set OF stars spelled a word
and in putting the words together by
the aid of the numbers, the whole
spelled the Little Boy Blue"
rhymes.
Another amusement was the guess
ing of hidden books" from various
pictures tackled around the walls.
In this contest Miss Annie Atkinson
won the first prize and.Sam league
got the "bOoby."
After this contest refreshments
were served and afterwards various
pleasant games were played and all
had happy evening.

For MISS STANDBY and Mr. Clark.

For MISS STANDBY and M. Clark.
Miss Annie Mae STANDBY and Mr..
Arthur Clark, whose marriage took
place at 1880 Wednesday morning,
were entertained at a "heart party"
Monday night by Miss Eloise Miller
and Miss Grace Hatchell at the home
of the former.
The lower floor of the house was
very prettily decorated with palms
and great many red hearts scatter
ed all about the rooms added a very
suggestive and lovely touch to the
decorations. The lights were all
shaded with red, the color indicative
of love and lovers, and the yard and
front veranda were brilliantly illumi-
mated with many japanese lanterns.
Misses Miller, Hatchell, Standley
and Mr.. Clark received in the parlor.
Those invited to meet the happy
young couple were Mr.. and Mrs. G.
V. Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Miller,

man, CISCO and Guy Zewadski, John

In the library suspended from the
center of the room was a heart, to
which was attached a number of
ribbons. Concealed within the heart
was thimble and bell, the young
lady drawing the first was to be an
old maid and the one finding the bell,
to be the next bride. On pulling the
ribbons it was found that Miss
Peyser had gotten the thimble while
Miss Scott blushingly brought forth
the bell.
After this the guests were all given
little heart shaped books, on which
they were required to write a sketch
ofthe "soon to be" bride and groom.
Some of the sketches were in verse
and some in prose and all were good.
The judges decided in favor of Miss
Cassidey and Mr.. Robertson, who
were awarded the prizes, pretty stick
pins.
The balance of the evening was
spent playing hearts. Miss
Beatrice Sinclair, winning the prize
for being able to get rid of the
greatest number of hearts.
Refreshments were served after
the games by Misses Marguerite
Porter, Caro- Liddon and Mary Julian.
Miss Cassidey, who possesses a very
sweet voice, favored the guests with
several songs before this delightful
evening was ended.

What an Up-to-date Farmer Has to be

that was sent by a certain woman
to a friend who was laid UP tenn
porarily: Remember your mercies."
1t is a grand message for us all to
keep in mind at all times. But it
is particularly suitable for this
Thanksgiving week. Remember your
mercies; the many blessed privileges
you enjoy. Drop all envy of 9th RS
who you think have more to be thank
full for than you have. Fully appre-
ciate the many comforts and bless
ings that you are surrounded with.
The writer never goes to the city
without coming home profoundly
thankful for the peaceful, quiet,
healthful life that he can live on the
farm. This is no tafy; be doesn't
want any of your votes; it is the
solemn truth. The rush and strain
and high pressure of the city, and
the usual lack of the most healthful
surroundings, have no charm for
him. 1t does for an occasional visit,
business or a recreation, and to set
off the farm-life by its dismal back
ground. Take it in the grocery store
where we trade in the city. Scores
of clerks are on the rush every in
slant, working to the very utmost
limit of their caDacity usually, and
often beyond, until they get so ner-
vous and keyed up that they hardly
know what they are doing. Floor
walkers are on the watch every sec
ond, and if a customer does no.
come to a clerk he is transferred to
a customer where help is needed.
When there is any lull in trade, clerks
are kept busy putting up orders that
have accumulated, or Packages OF
staple goods for the next rush. And
then a record is kept of each ones
sales and his chances for the future
are governed accordingly. And all
this. six days in a week, in air so i'm
pure that I dread to stay in the store
even long enough to leave an order.
This part of the situation is simply
awful at times and must cause sick
ness and breakdowns and deaths far
sooner than they come to those
whose lives are spent on the farm.
And the same conditions will be
found almost universally throughout
the business district of the city
Many thousands must work In stores
shops. Offices, etc, where the SUI
never shines, and where no provision
is made for systematic and thorough
ventilation, and work amid noise and
confusion and rush that must III
time undermine the strongest
nerves. Go where you will n these
things are quite generally u Ano
men and women often become ner'
vous wrecks when they ought to be
IN their prime. Then their services
are no longer wanted. The young
men and young women a stan'
the strain best, and it is usual!
+bo;r lives that are being sapped
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-22

This from lack of sunshine, light
and fresh air. When one has to
give up there are a dozen more
ready to take his place. Oh, you do
not realize the terrible mill that is
waiting to grind you up, my young
friends, when you are so anxious to
leave country life for work in the
crowded city. Of course wealthy
people can live all right in the city,
but how many are there of them!
And almost without exception they
have their homes away from the
worst rush of city life, where some
thing of country surroundings can
be had. This is one of the first uses
made generally of abundant income.
Many thousands pay out every dol
lar they earn and cannot have a
home then where the u can shine
into more than two or three win
dows. They can scarcely have room
in their dooryards to turn around,
and air to breathe that is free from
dust and smoke and SCOT is simply
| out of the question. And they must
pay for water, often unfit to drink,
| and their taxes on 800 are two OF
three times what we farmers have
TO nav. Of course they have some
advantages over us, but these arc
| growing less and less yearly. Thir
ty-three years ago we were almost
| out of the world on our farm. 1t Il
on a cr~oss-road, at that time little
travelled, and two and a half miles
| from town. Now we have telephone
connection with most any part of tn
country right from our home. If
telegram comes it is telephOne(
over without extra cost. Every da'
but Sunday Uncle Sans carrie
brings and takes Our mail. 81 an
thankful our Government keeps tn
Sabbath in this respect.) Electrl
cars pass within half a mile of on
farm on their way to and from Ak
ron and Cleveland. Only those wit
large incomes, in the city, can hv
in a better home, with better sur
roundings, that we have; we do no
want N better. The sun can shin
into every window. The air is a
pure as nature gives us, free from
dust and smoke and SCOT. All j
quiet and natural. Every room /
our home is now warmed in winte
as perfectly as it can be done; l WI.
not except a single palace on Eucll
Avenue. We can make the be
rooms cool enough for comfort an
summer night. We have a goo
bath room and a chance for a pei
feet CRATE fire. We know the waite
is Lure and safe. Oh, what a chang
since the time we came here! Ho'
thankful we are for it all. You ar
not all as well situated, of cours'
but the greatest of these blessing
YOU a all have, as fast as you az
able, and others are coming. d
thankful for the great privilege
that are within your grasp now an
as fast as you can; reach out an
take them. In due time others WI
come TO YOU. The most enjOyab
