LETTER TO q. /. GREENE.
Aberdeen, Miss

Dear Sir. The checklist fraud in all
paint is paste paint. Here's one.
Lawyer Arley B McGee. Dover, Del,
painted his house four years ago with
paste paint at cost Of S44 for paint
and sol for labor: total S1O5. The
house got shabby in two years then
he painted DevOe at very different
cost; SIS for paint and $50 for labor
total SIS. Paste paint Sl05; Devoe
SIS.
1t is like fatting hogs on milk "a
water. Paste paint is 81 whitewash.
Yours truly

The Mardi Gras season IN Mobile
and New Orleans passed with little
attention at this point, and not
a half dozen attended from Aber-
deem and vicinity This was due
to the fact that it was not literally
advertised in the local press. On
previous occasions prominent am
nouncements were made in both the
Aberdeen papers, with the result
that we have always sent down a
strong passenger list The news
paper advertising Tor the event this
year amounted to seven lines of
solid BREWER in two issues, from
which little could be expected.

own. Her quilts were all quilted, her
store of household goods was ready.
But a GOODNESS had come between
them, and Mark had gone away
back east where girls were plenty"
Since then she had been learnings to
live without him and it was bitter
lesson. True she did not speak of
it, not even to her best friends, but
the ache was always there.
Her work. was done at last. She
had time to look at little Lille slum-
bering in her low trundle-bed with
her stocking spread out trustingly on
the pillow beside her Now. was the
time for Santa Claus to come. But
the sick mother was too ill and broken
with anxiety to be bothered. There
was nobody to fill that stocking but
Hattie, and nothing to fill it with ex-
cept what her girls wit might devise.
She was very tired. All day she
had been battling against storm and
sickness, doing a woman's work and
a mans too. Now she must do Santa
Claus work. Was ever Santa
Claus so sleepy? Oh, what would she
not give to throw herself on the bed,
dressed as she was, and sleep? But
there was no time for that. Santa
Claus must come to the waiting child.
She knew that in little while the
sick woman would rouse again and
need her. Softly and YEARLY she lift
ed the one little drop-leaf table over
