ment thus renders the Lords prayer:
Father,
May thy name be held holy,
and thy kingdom come.
Give us each day
our bread for the day before us;
And forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves, too, forgive
every one in debt to US;
And do not take US into temptation"
Oh, boys, honesty is the best policy"
all the time for everybody. A lie is
excusable only to save some one pain
or discomfort or disgrace. But when
one lies to harm some one, that is the
depth of meanness and will harm the
liar in the end. 1t is bound to, just
because what goes up must come
down" Don't even lie in bed in the
morning. Get up and see how pleasant
you can be all day-it makes things
easier. Buster Brown.
$4,000, 600 is the vast sum annually
collected in toll by northern fire insur-
ance companies out of our southland.
Yet this is only one of the avenues by
which the South is drained for the en-
richment of the North. Surely it is
time our people were becoming more
self-supporting. Surely then the prac-
tical thing to do is to organize and sup
port Southern institutions and enter
prises. We have been led to this re-
mark by reading the recent report of a
home fire insurance of nearby city.

Messrs. S. S. Bradford, w. T. Leavell
and Jno. w. Allison, Jr., have re-
turned after a weeks trip to Irvington.
The party landed $50 fine fish during
their trip, and had a fine time generally.
Monday night on arriving at Irvington
they were invited to attend a lodge
meeting at Weems. They accepted
and enjoyed the boat ride to Weems.
Mr.. Allison at first did not like the
tight line fishing, and intended to leave
for home Wednesday, but after much
persuading decided to stay, and later
was converted by his friend, Mr.. Brad
ford, to the salt water fishing. The
party has already decided to repeat the
trip next season. They speak very
highly of Mr.. Mitchell of the hotel,
also of Mr.. Garner, the obliging gaso-
line boat man. Mr.. w. Mcdonald Lee
invited the fishing party to visit the
police steamer, Emeline, and they re-
port it one of the best boats they have
ever seen. Fredericksburg Star.
