Our people were very sorry that
the visit of Gov. Glenn had to be
postponed on account of the
scarlet fever. The entire COM
munity hope that just as soon as
conditions will permit that he
will visit the town and address
the Sunday schools as was arrang-
ed. Our people will be glad to
welcome our governor in Thomas
vile at any time and a large au-
dience will greet him whenever he
comes.
On account Of the scarlet fever
which has been in our town for
the past month, ali Christmas en-
tertainments and gatherings were
omitted and everything possible
was done to stamp out the disease.
We think that the disease is now
in check and will soon be slammed
out, but there is no telling. All
that there is to do is to carry out
r1gldly the instructions of the
authorities and wait results. We
all hope the worst is over.

If cough once gets into your
system it acts on every muscle
and fibre of the body and makes
you ache all over. It especially
affects the intestines and makes
you constipated, so in order to
get rid of cold thoroughly and
without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to
constipate. Kennnedy's Laxative

A Man Who 'Got Enough Sugar. Scar.

Lexington Dispatch, Dec. 25ta.
Col. Jim Pugh, one of the old
timers, soldier, recalling long
ago days, told how little luxuries
people had. What we call neces.
saries now, and waste with lavish
hand, in his boyhood days were
high-priced and rare; sugar, for
instance. Mr. Pugh says when he
was a boy if family had pound
of sugar, so full Of molasses that
it could be squeezed out in the
hand, they felt as if they had
enough to last a year. 1t was not
used save when the people came.
Should he get q spoonful in the
equally rare coffee, said Mr.. Pugh,
he would lick out his tongue like
8 calf, to capture stray grains he
might have missed. One time,
though, he said he got enough.
There had been wreck near town
and a whole car of sugar was bro
ken up. He said he took his old
wool hat and filled the crown with
sugar, and got al oyster can and
filled it full. and then, sneak
ed off into the woods and sat down
to enjoy the greatest treat of his
life. He felt like millionaire.
He says he hasn't wanted any
sugar since.

 Then ensued a dramatic scene. Mrs. Hearst on the inside screamed out that she was alone and would admit no man and the deputy proceeded to carry out his threat to break in.
