HAD A FELLOW FEELING.
Aunt Susan's Heart Went Out to
"Pore Missus Astor."

Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo-
lis pretty well. Had he not been there
three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan with
him (on the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.
She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all it's other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filed not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body

Cures Her in Five Days.

after my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms. of considerable size.
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one

On Wit and Humor.

Man is the only animal that laughs

that is struck with the difference be.
tween what things are and what they
ought to be. We weep at what
thwarts or exceeds our desires in seri-
Gus matters; we laugh at what only
disappoints our expectations in trifies.
We shed tears from sympathy with
real and necessary distress; as we
burst into laughter from want of sym

and unnecessary, the absurdity OF
which provokes our spleen or mirth
rather than serious reflections on it

sducting every line OF business.
Just as the mills have to inv,st
larger sums in providing a sup
ply of raw cotton, and the mer-
chants need a larger amount to
purchase a stock of the manufac-
s:tnred goods, so the farmers re-
squire more money to equip their

years ago 500 would purchase a
good mule or horse, but now near
siy twice that sum is necessary.
This is not only true of the stock

enforcing an ordinance that PRO
hibited the sale of Intoxicating

II think it will be a most

their moral status as we'll, if
the city of Valdosta or other
city councils) would prohibit
the sale OF Intoxicating drinks, s
would stand steadfastly to
that prohibition, and enforce
it vigorously by due process
of law. I believe it would do
more to solve the urgent aud
vital problems which are
pressing on our southern peo-
pie, do more to decrease the
volume of vagrarcy and
crime, give the farming and

The Building and Loan Assoc:a-

In a quiet way, without any
flourish of trumpets or much ado,
the LEGAL building and loan asso-
citation has been a decided factor
in the upbuilding of Edge6eld.
Fully score Of attractive resi-
dences aud other buildings that
now adorn the streets of Edge6eld
would never have been erected had
not The building and loan aseccia-
tion provided for their erection
By granting long term loans that
can be repaid in small monthly
payments. Besides encouraging
home building and increasing
very materially the taxable prop
erty, the association has also been
helpful to some as a savings in
stitution. From this standpoint
the Greenville News has the fol-
lowing to say:
"The building and loan associa-
ton is the wage-earner's bank.
Systematic savings is tbo only
nope of the man working on a
salary, and the building and loan
offers the very best opportunity
for this"
Young men of Edgefeld, it mat
ters not how small your salary,
make application for one or more
shares of stock in the local build
ing and loan association. You will
not only be benefited by your
savings, but you will form in early
life the habit of saving your earn
