well counties and the responsibility
is placed on the nisat riders. The

property IL Caldwell County. No aid

saiy step to protect property, In

CO pooling has been asked to be pres

made on married life by the preacher.
NO wife can be as free ana friv

matronly dignity.
Don't be one Of those autocratic
creatures that say Marriage makes

The man who Is married to one
OF those female tyrants with firm chin
and naughty demeanor has no need
of purgatorial fire in the life to come.
"A qualification Of a model wife Is
to keep her temper and control her
tongue.
a cross, cantankerous jade loves to
give her husband a piece of her
mind, and usually, like a mosaic, her
mind Is composed Of many pieces.
scolding wives live long and die
hard. They possess vitality, rolubility
and sometimes vituperation.
III a husband persists in going
round in his shirt sleeves and leaves
MS clothes about the room when he
should put them in the closet, never
mind such trifes. They are only
spots on the sun.
