Origin Of "Helpmeet,"

"Helpmeet" has had a curious his
tory which began with the biblical
account of the creation, when "the
Lord God said, 1t is not good that
the man should be alone; I will make
him an help meet for him" That is
to say, fit assistant. But the two
words hove become curiously combin.
ed into a "helpmeet," and they are
constantly used as one. Moreover.
the confusion is increased by the cor
ruption Of the words into "help-mate,"
and Macaulay writes Of the waiting
woman who was generally consider
ed as the most suitable help mate tor
q parson."

fairs, and he is ever on the go looking
to the interests of the people,
The people like to be entertained
and they will come many miles to
some amusement given by the mer-
chants of the town where they are
ever ready to go to sell their farm
products. The merchant cannot give
these entertainments unless he has
the support of the people and it is not
fair to expect this of the men that are
striving for livelihood, when the peo-
pie send their money to a concern in
some far away city that will neither
contribute to any of these enterprises
or take an interest in the surround
ings thereof.
Home trading makes home indus
tries, brings more to the town and
keeps them there, and it helps to build
up the place. But the town will be at
stand'stin so long as the people per-
sist In this way Of robbing the home
merchants of the right to live and do
business among them.
If the people will keep their money
at home there will be no need for
complaint. The place will assume a
lively air, it will take on a metropoli-
tan look, and the people will say to
their neighbor that business is good,
and it will be, as long as the people
continue to trade in the home mar
kets. The least that person can do
toward the betterment of the COM
munity and his own interests, is to
keep the money at home and see to It
that it is put where it is most needed
and wanted.
This should be a vital question to
all concerned in the welfare Of his
community and it should be an estab.
lished rule that one should not seek
for things in other parts that he can
get at home.

The school Exponent.

Professor Tom McBeath, the widely
known editor of THE School Expo

and departed to other fields. During
his years of labor Mr.. McBeath brought
this publication to a high standard of
excellence, thus laying a good founda-
ton for his successors.
The Exponent has been turned over to
Hon. w. M. Holloway, State Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction, and Prof.
A. A. Murphree, President of the Col
lege for Women, who will publish it
strictly along educational lines. They
will make it the organ of the various
State and County educational institu.

Superintendent can reach the teachers
and general educators of the State. 1t
is needless to add that all politics will
be eliminated and taboed. The new man
