A Pleasant Day at County Line

Nov. 10th, was good day for
the people of County Line and
surrounding community. An ex-
cellent program was rendered by
that school, several schools were
present, and after the morning ex-
ercises nice sum was given for
the Baptist Orphanage. Then
came the feast of turkies, chickens,
pies, etc. In the afternoon the
writer made a talk suitable for the
occasion and everyone seemed to
have had a delightful time.
Prof. Harper and his worthy as
sistant Miss Gill, with tie cooper
alton OF the patrons, are doing a
noble work in that part Vi eur
county. We predict for them a
bright future.

Sayings of Mrs. Solomon.

Wouldst thou be a Bachelor Girl
my daughter? For this is the
great feminine bluff; and no SO
such thing existeth, except in the
magazines and the Imagination.
Lo, a Bachelor Girl may be a
sweet young thing who assumeth a
becoming pose, or she may be an
Old maid who maketh the best of
an unbecoming situation; but con-
firmed Bachelor Girl is one that
has not married-yet.
FOR the single life is perfectly
lovely thing-in story books. Yea,
it is made up of rarebit suppers and
High Art and the admiration of the
multitude; but in real life it is a
back hall bedroom with gas stove
tor company and twenty-five cent
table d'hote for excitement.
Verify say unto thee, no woman
liveth who would not exchange a
typewriter for a cradle, and desk
Tor a sewing machine, and an easel
Tor a cook stove, and an armful of
diplomas for an armful of babies
and latch key for nice broad
pair of shoulders-if the right man
offered them unto her.
Yea, observe how easily a lady
college professor droppeth her He
brew and Greek and learneth to
talk baby talk.
Aud mark how willingly lady
doctor stoppeth rolling pills for the
pleasure of rolling baby carriage.
Tor Art IS beautiful thing, but
1t IS SO intangible. Verify, thou
canst not put thine arms about its
neck; neither canst thou tie it up in
pink ribbons. Nay, thou canst not
run thy fingers through its hair nor
call it funny nicknames, nor cry
upon its coat lapel. Neither canst
thou worry about it, nor wait upon
it, nor ''fuss" OVERT. Verify, YER
lily woman must have something
to coddle-anda man is better than
a teddy bear. Selah!
