PITY POOR HOUSEKEEPER.
BROOM PRICES NOW SOAR
Advanced From roc 10 SOC I'm the
Retail Price.

tttttt t-ftSt.
Keeping a clean house Is expensive
now owing to the record breaking
advance OF the price on broom straw.
As a result the price on brooms has
advanced almost as high as the aero
planes. with not nearly as good a
chance of dropping. A shortage OF
the broom corn crop Is responsible
for the advance. and as this is the
second year OF a small crop the price
on. the sweeping material has not
stopped advancing.
Broom corn is selling from s175
to 5000 a ton, which means to the
grocergman that brooms are selling
from s2.25 to $3.50 a dozen, and to
the consumer II means that four
string broom, selling ordinarily at
90 cents. is now retailing at 80 cents.
And the price may go higher still for
most of the broom corn was sold be-
fore It was cut and the reports show
that the crop was a failure in many
producing districts.

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

One OF Paducahs physicians has
been joked recently about an exper-
fence when he was passing his starv.
alton days in the country. Coin was
mighty scarce article, and he never
lost an opportunity to charge when
his patients, which we're far between
came in. One day while driving
along a road an old man, who was
one of the wealthiest in the county,
stopped him and told him his all
ment.
poke out your tongue" said the
doctor. "Ah, see you need some
pills"
Reaching down in his medicine
sacks he handed out six small sugar
coated pills, and drove on with the
promise that his pay would come
Saturday.
Promptly next Saturday the patient
appeared at the office, and was grin
ming all over the face for the pills
had done the work.
How much do owe your" said
the farmer.
Three dollars " replied the young
doctor.
"What?" exclaimed the patient
Three dollars for those six little
measley pills Why. doc, that's so
cents apiece.
Eyes, but remember. my kind sir,

sounds emanating from the young

Jno. R. Lomax Returns.

Mr.. Jno, R. Lomax returned from At
! a ANITA . last asr, d%hor sfaSios after erd hsyiDg q N st
Josephs HosyitaI. It seems that he had
a complication of troubles, floating; kidney
and appendicitis, either Of which is usually
sufficient cause for a man to pass in his
cheeks. But Mr.. Lomax hauled through
and is here in Abbsville to tell the tale.
A strange feature Of this dangerous
operation is that Mr.. LomaX is one of
the best men in the whole country esteem
ed by every body for his g%entlemanly
bearing and all around good qualities, and
yet he survives, Good men usually die
under the knife; but not sc in this case.
Mr., LomaX is at the home Of Mrs.
McAlister, Of this city where he will remain
for several weeks. He is rapidly re-
covering.

Al G. Fields Minstrel.

This company showed to what was pro-
badly the largest house ever gathered in
Abbcville. The Clansman was greeted by
o. full house, but standing room was not
sold then.
The play met the expectations OF all who
witnessed it. There was very little Of the
old style middle man and COO on the cor
ner ~colloquies, but what there was Of it
was new and interesting-nothing stale.
Probably the most pleasing feature Of
show was the scenery and stage effects.
The show carries its own curtains and the
scenery alone is worth seeing.
Mr.. Field himself is a jovial, social crit
ter. One reason of the great popularity of
his show is the popularity Of the man.
When he comes to q town instead Of lock-
ing himself up in a hotel he gets out and
meets and minglcs with men.
He expressed himself as much pleased
with Abbeville-thought that the town was
lirstclass in every respect, but that we had
made a grievous mistake in voting out the
~dispensary.
Paul DeLane, a splendid singer with the
play, is sidetracked In Atlanta suffering
from blood poisoning. Blood poison was
contracted by wearing a new sock, the foot
becoming infected from the dye. DeLane
was the bass singer.
Quite a number of people came over from
Greenwood, Due West, Donalds and An
derson to witness the play. If the man
ager, Mr.. Cheatham, continues to give the
public such plays his success is assured.
Tho next play, 1t is understood, will be
one of Shakespeare's plays. The play and
date will be announced later.

KoIY Rollers Disappointed.

On last Saturday 800 or more Holy
Rollers gathered at their bethel in West
Duxbury, massachusetts,, to await Judge
mcnt day which they thought would come
sometime Saturday.
People of the faith from all over the
land were in attendance at this watch
meeting. When the Judgement day did
not come at 10 o'clock as they expected one
Of the preachers saw in a vision that it
would come sometime within the next "a
hours following 10 o'clock Saturday,
Great numbers have sold all their lands,
disposed OF their property and otherwise
prepared themselves for the event. 1t is
understood, though, that the leaders take
up a collection at each meeting. Just why
they do this is not known, when they are
confidently expecting the world to come
to an end right away.
During the lifetime of Saint Paul he was
called upon to disabuse the minds of GER
tain christians who were confident that
the world would come to an end in their
day and generation, so much were these
early christians imbued with this idea
they ceased work and proceeded to wait
just as the Holy Rollers are doing today.
There are many who think that the mil
enium is near at hand and not without
some reason, but the teaching Of the Bible
seems to be to live your life, look after
your business, your family, and your re-
| igion, be prepared to meet the Judge
ment when it comes and then let Judge
ment day take care of itself.
Periodically there springs ur some sect
who knew just when the Judgement is
coming, who proceed to settle up their
estates and prepare for the wait. OF course
all have been disappointed as were these
good people Of Duckbury, on last Saturday
1t seems that people can be made to
believe anything. Any leader who starts
out to promulgate some new doctrine will
find some followers. When it comes to
religion the best of us lay aside our COM
mon sense in the Interpretation of the
Bible and prefer to follow some one else
than to blaze our own way with the lights
before US.
Every month sees the birth Of a new de-
nomination. The christian ehnrch is split
ting up into new sects and creeds day by
day. There is a reason for this and it is
the duty Of the church to find out the
cause and stop it if possible. 1t means
disintegration. What the churches should
do is to get nearer together instead of
further apart.

Strange.

A family in a neighboring county was
recently afflicted by sickness. When the
child \ died the incidental kindness OF
the neighbors was so much out of the
ordinary that the father and mother OF
the dead child felt called upon to make
public declaration of the fact.
People in Abbeville are always kind to
the afflicted, and no such notices or decla-
rations in the newspapers are necessary
here. We don't know however, what sort
of people live in some other communities
and can only Judge by what we see.

Back From Texas.

Mr.. Thompson, who has been in Texas
for a long time is back again in the town
Of his nativity.
He says that the land is rich and plenti-
full in Texas.
People must haul water for domestl
use, for cattle and other stock. Gins in
Texas are run by water that has beer
hauled in barrels. When asked why they
didn't dig wells, he said, because the
wells in many instances are salty.
Mr.. Thompson carries a good avoirdu
pois and looks the picture Of health.
Many friends welcome MI. Thompson
home and we believe that all wish that he
may stay with US.

Family Trees.

Some people in the world are anxious to
show us the records of their family tree
for ages and ages, but some of us want
the history to run so far back as to show
when our distinguished ancestors were
monkeys. We have no record as to when
the ancestors of any distinguished family
was thrown out of the great family OF
monkeys and when they we're disowncd by
their parents. It is not desirable to re-
mind some people when their great-great
great grandmothers were honorable and
distinguished monkeys with candel ap-
pendages of unusual length.
