G. J. Coblentz and wife of near
Bradford were shopping in this
city yesterday.
Jake Muller, on a summers day
raked the meadow of clover hay.
The mule with which he raked
the hay was a Imuckle dun with
spots of gray. Jake's shirt was
hickory, his pants were brown,
with a patch on the part where
Jake sat down. Jake cussed in
a way that was sad to see, when
the mule went ''haw" when he
said gee" A humble bees
home in the stubble lay, where
Jake and the mule raked clover
hay. A rake tooth ran through
the humble home and the bees
came out and began to roam in
search of a man on a summers
day, who raked the meadow of
clover hay; they swarmed inside
Jake's hickory shirt and quick
ened the mule to a mighty squirt.
It was tough on the mule and
worse on Jake and much worse
still for the sulky rake; for the
mule turned loose in a promiscu-
Gus way, and scattered the rake
over the clover hay.

Six parts of cornmeal, four parts Of
wheat bran. one part of inferior -four
or red dog and two parts of meat make
an excellent ration for laying ducks.
Later in the summer meat need not be
fed SO literally. since ducks and duck
lings will get the greater part Of their
meat ration in the form of flies and
other insects. 1t is usually good plan
to mix a little sand or grit with the
grain ration.

Mrs. Cora /. Williams of this

and also awarded her $4,000 ali

defendant is required to pay 500

tenance of the children until they
shall become of age.
Some persons are always TAX
ing exceptions to what the news
papers have to say of them. AS
a matter of fact, the individual
who gets mad at what the news
papers say in the way of news
and about him, is generally just
the one who should return thanks
three times day for the things
the newspapers know but do
not print. There is not one in
ten, that the newspaper man
could not print something about,
which he does not want the world
to know. The idea is to be thank
full for what the newspaper man
knows but does not tell.
The editor sat at home in his
easy chair, his silvery hair illum-
ined by the glow from the big
open fireplace. On his knee sat
his little granddaughter, just 60
ing to sleep under the soothing
influence of a ''Bre'r Rabbit"
story. Well filled book cases lined
the walls while all about were
evidences of wealth, refined taste
and comfortable ease. Just then
the devil dropped a brayer and
the editor awakened from his
reverie to find himself still lean
ing against the composing stone
for support and gazing at the So
bill paid in advance by a new
subscriber.
Never get it into your head
that you are too good to mingle
with common people. Fine
clothes and a four-inch collar do
not make you, and you are not
too good to be civil to those who
wear a pair Of blue oyeralls and
a blouse. In young men this feel
ing is called swell-head and in
old ones aristocracy.. Whatever
it may be, it is not manliness.
No man, young or old, can be a
gentleman who treats a working
man as an inferior being. Some
of the most intelligent men of
the age were at one time, are to-
day, working men men who are
not afraid to take off their coats

made by this unique body of water.

south east and north west, but up
wards, of thirty irregular bayous
;naant ets snore3 ia ali direct.oiis,
fourteen of which are of such magni-
tude as to have the depth of water
therein given on the Government
charts.
This bay is separated from Crooked
Island sound, and the Gulf, by a
body of heavy timbered land, varying
from three to five miles in width.
The many bluffy oak and magnolia
hammocks on it's shores afford some
of the choicest building locations in
the world. 1t is by far the most
picturesque body of water to be
found any where along these coasts.
The south shores of the bay be-
tween it and gulf is a part of Calhoun
county, while the territory on the
north shore belongs to Washington
county.
