YOUNG GIRLS NEED A CALENDAR

every one; did we bring our smiles
to the breakfast table; did we 20 to
the door with daddy or pin a flower
in his button-hole; did we watch for
a chance to help mother and were we
nice. and kind in our manner to the
maid in the kitchen? Some Of the
maids in our kitchens are themselves
young girls, and they are very far
away from their own homes, They
have mothers and fathers and friends
and neighbors across the sea-, and
sometimes they are home-sick and q

I wonder if you ever think, dear
girl, what story the calendar Is tell
ing for you. Perhaps you have tiny
pocket calendar. tucked into. your
purse that you may consult it If you
happen, as careless people, sometimes
do, to forget the date; not that fancy
you belong to that set or that you do
not keep tally of the days Of the
month.
A good plan for us all is to remem-
ber just where we are, so that we
never have to pause and ask somebody
to- tell us whether it is the 8th or
the 9th, the 10th or the 18th day Of
the month. You may keep q calendar
on your dressing bureau, tearing of
a leaf every day, or it may hang sus-
pended from nail by a ribbon or a
chain, or be fastened on the wall
Whatever sort Of calendar. you have
it is simply a device to remind you
that Time Is flying and that it is well
to make the most of him and of his
opportunities before he is gone out
Of sight. Just one day at time is
yours and mine, and according as we
use or abuse the single day, we shall
get the good. that is waiting for us
and earn the reward that: comes to
faithful workers. = y -: - 49,. -.
am very fond of all sorts and
conditions of girls, but there is one
variety with which have no patience;
the girl who dawdles, who sits around
talking about what she means to do
and never accomplishing anything, is
not the girl who commends herself to
me-. She Is not only idle herself, but
she sets a bad example to every one
else and commits the mistake of throw
ing away the most valuable asset she
will ever, have: A day when one is
young and strong and light-hearted as
girls are or should be, is worth ten
times as much as a day will be when
the same girls are older and know
more about care and trouble. Is your
story of the calendar story Of work
well-dohe and Of play undertaken with
all your heart? Whatever you do,
never dawdle. -

Contract for Bored Well Let.

A meeting Of subscribers to the
fund to pay for the sinking of an ar
tesian we'll within Scooba's corpor-
ate limits, was held at the Bank
Monday evening, the greater num-
Der Of the contributors being either
present or represented.
Several propositions to bore the
we'll were submitted, one from Mr..
John II. Pinson, of Geiger, Ala, be-
ing accepted and the committee in
charge of arrangements, Messrs. Stu
art, Kuykendall, Twilley, Eastland
and Watts, was instructed to con-
tract with Mr.. Pinson for the work.
Mr.. Prisons proposition is, to bore
1000 feet for $4,000, and to go 200
feet deeper, if necessary, at the rate
of $1.50 per foot; the subscribers to
the movement to furnish piping and
other necessaries.
AS to the location of the well, all
contributors of sums over $500 faV-
ored the Union Church lot, abeut
the centre of town, or further west,
and the sentiment of those present
being almost unanimous, the church
lot location was adopted.
Something over 81, OK 90 has al
ready been subscribed to the fund
for the boring of this well, and the
greater part of this amount has al
ready been paid in. Further contri-
buttons are solicited. as the mere
boring of the well will not end the
work by any means. 1t is hoped to
place Il large tank above the well,
to erect a neat she ter over it, and
to lay a good-sized pipe from the
we'll to the railroad frontage, where
a watering-trough for stock can be
placed.
There are many from out of town
who will be benefited by this inno-
vation; they are invited to subscribe
something. Mr.. Puckette, the on
tractor, has offered to donate 5000
worth Of cement work.
The game is on-let's play it to a
finish.
