KETCH-AWLS FROM EVERYWHERE

A party of Lancastrians came over
Sunday morning and spent the day in
town and attended services at the Bap-
fist church Sunday night. They made
the Burton House headquarters. Among
those in the party were: Miss Susie
Rock, who taught music here session
before last and who has many friends
here. and Misses Fannie Rock, Jennie
Ficklin and Florence Stoneham; Messrs.
Frank Sadler, Willie Richardson and
Lucius Rock. -Southside Sentinel.
Fire works have no more effect in the
day time than beautiful picture has
on blind man. Nothing is any good
without the proper stage setting, or
unless it is done at the proper time.
The time to be kind is when everything
IS going wrong. The time to be good
is when the trying moment in business
comes. A Sunday Christian is no more
good than sky rocket on a sun shiney
day. The weekday Christian is like a
pinwheel on a dark night-he sticks
right out. He's the real goods at the
real time. The time to swim is when
you're in the water. Buster Brown.
Late and damp as the summer is. we
can smell hogpens and stables rank with
the germs of disease as we drive along
the country roads, while in a short time
from now the refuse of the canning
factories will add their fostering quota
to the army of pestilence breeders.
Hogpens, stables and factories, cess
pools and refuse heaps are necessary
and useful things. No one would see
them abolished. They represent, in a
way, the business enterprise and indus
trial development of this section. But
a little lime or something in the way of
cheap disinfectants-a bottle of carbolic
acid, etc.-would do much to minimize
the danger that arises from these neces-
sary but fateful depots of filth. Prop
eriy managed, they are harmless. Left
infected and pestilential, there turks in
them the microbe of typhoid, the
bacteria of diphtheria and many other
kindred ailments. Why not disinfect !?
