Business of a Newspaper Man.

1t is the business of a newspaper
man to boom the city for all it is
worth, month after month, and then
see 800 worth of printing go out
of the city because ten cents can be
saved by so doing.
Itis the business of a newspaper
man to give every local enterprise
enthusiastic and frequent send
ofs," and then catch shoel because
it failed to chronicle the fact that
some prominent citizen had h's
delivery wagon painted.
1t is the business of a newspaper
man to subscribe literally to every
public, church and charitable enter
prise, advertise them for nothing
and then be called prejudiced and
mean spirited because a column is
not devoted to that particular affair.
1t is the business of newspaper
man to pump hot air for every busi-
ness concern in town and then see
those same business houses sending
their printing to neighboring towns
and cities, because on 1000 note
heads Is cents can be saved, and 10
cents can be saved on 1000 bill
heads.
He must also advise the people to
trade at home with home merchants
and then witness those merchants
sending their printing to out.of-
town print shops -Elberton Star.

Gone But Not Forgotten.

At seven o'clock Saturday morn
ing, January 22nd, the beautiful and
useful life of Mrs. Pauline Howard
Watson ended at the ripe age of
nearly Is years. She leaves eight
children and many grandchildren
to mourn her loss; but not to mourn
as those who have no hope. Too
much cannot be said of her conse-
Grated and loving character. We
hope to meet her beyond the sky,
where there is no more parting or
sorrowing. Her remains were in
TERED at Dry Greek church, the
church she united with in her young
womanhood and the church she
owed SO well and served SO faith
fully to the end.
Mrs. Watson's husband, the late
Calvin Watson, who was a brave
Confederate veteran and consecra
ted Christian church and Sunday
school worker-preceded her to the
grave about live years. One large
marble now marks the last resting
place of both these dear ones in the
Dry Creek church cemetery. Their
daughters are Eta Temples and
Florence Coursey, Of Johnston, and
Hassie Rauton, of Greenwood.
Their sons are Tillman, James and
Richmond Watson, of Johnston,
Allen e. Watson, of Eulala, and G.
w. Watson, Edgefeld.

Few Small Bridges.

The method adopted for mprov-
ing the public roads throughout the
county during recent years is far
better than the old way. Mr.. w.
g. Collins, who resides near the
Greenwood line, was in The Adver-
tiser office few days ago, and,
while speaking of the splendid con-
dition of the roads for January,
said that in coming to Edgeheld
about fifteen years ago he counted
6fty-two bridges, while now there
are none except across the big
streams. The roads have been ele-
waited and drained so as TO do away
with the small bridge nuisance.
They were nearly ALWAYS in bad
condition. constant menance to

her husband who had gone out only
a few minutes before. When he got
to her she was horribly burned.
DR.. Morrall was soon with her, but
her burns were of such serious
nature that she died early the next
morning. Her remains were carried
to Monetta for interment. Mrs.
Stoudemayer was before her mar

deaths that has ever happened IN
our community. ~

evidence of what the farmers union
is doing. The largest crowd of wag-

Farmers alt Work Again, Sever
al Will Enter Corn Contest.
Mrs. Zehner's Work
Commended.
Written for last week.

Our farmers have been making
considerable progress towards plan
ming and preparing for another
crop. Some plowing has been done
and a considerable amount of fer
tilizer has been hauled.
The concensus of opinion is that
a larger acreage of food crops will
be planted this year than ever be-
fore. Our farmers have learned the
lesson that all cotton never pays
even if prices range around the fif-
teen cents mark.
Small grain of which a large
acreage was sown last fall, is not
making much show but the stands
are considered good, notwithstand-
inc the severe cold weather.
Quite a number Of our farmers
will enter the prize acre corn con-
test this year, among the number
your correspondent.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. Moultrie, who
have been such great sufferers from
rheumatism for several weeks, we
are glad to report conyalescent.

of Mr.. G. C. Burkhalter, who was
reported sick by your Parksville
scribe last week, has recovered.
Miss Jennie GilchYist, one of Re
hoboth's most popular young ladies
and the efficient teacher of the Lyon
school, had the misfortune last Sun
day morning to get her ankle frac-
tured by jumping from buggy
while the horse was in the act of
running away. Her many friends
greatly sympathize with her.
Notwithstanding the cold wave of
last Saturday, quito a number of the
members of the woman's missionary
society met at Mrs. r.. M. Winn's
and enjoyed exceedingly lecture

Mrs. Zehner, who also spoke to a
