have committed without understanding
that it was violation of law and she
has been good girl while at the school
she has been we'll educated and has
developed a special gift for violin
playing which has been carefully cul-
tivated. Her family and friends are very
happy to have her home again.
Yesterday was Mrs. Emma Mullinix'
list birthday and she celebrated the
occasion by inviting the hungry editor
of the Advocate and his wife to eat din

remember and she has tied up many a
sore finger and helped us out Of many a
boyish "scrape" and although old in
years, Mrs. Mullinnix is as jolly and
young in actions as she was twenty
years ago. Another kind deed of the
good lady on this day, was to send a
dainty dinner to Mrs. A. G. Sanford, who
has been confined to her home most of
the winter.-Humeston Advocate.
