Farmers ali over the county
were on double duty last week,
AID are yet greatly rushed The
growing crops need work and the
grain must be harvested at once or
suffer damage. Many representa-

their grain, to their utter sur

us Saturday that ne will make
just twice as much as he thought
be would some time ago.
There are two kinds of girls in
the world, the girl who works and
the girl who gads. Commend US to
the former. Work lends dignity to
a pretty girl, is all added charm
to her. The girl who works, God
bless her, combin the useful and
ornamental. She might CAD about,
roll on sofas, gossip and reed story
books, but she prefers to be of
some account in the world and
goes out as teacher, saleslady or
housekeeper and bravely makes
her own way. Such are the salt of
the earth and of such is the king
dom of aven.-Leesville News.

Timber of Superior Quality.
Supervisor Selfis building some
first-class bridges over the county
wherever they are needed, and ls
using timber that was sawed on
the County Farm, which is the
cream OF the native forest. AS the
county wagons pass through town
loaded with this rich heart lumber
of unusual lengths and dimen-
sions, much comment is provoked
by it's superior quality. The coun-
ty board did the wise thing in
having it sawed. Now if they will
anchor the bridges well, so they
will not wash away, the grand
children of the present generation
will cross the streams on these
same bridges.
