Dots From Magnolia.

AS I have not seen a word from
Magnolia since the Bazaar 1 will tell
you something as it turned out so
ricely. We had quite large crowd
and / can say more than that it was
the best behaved crowd I have seen
in a long time. Was enjoyed by all
little folks as well as grown ones.
The refreshments were fine and plen-
tiful. The sale did we'll, had a lot
Of beautiful as we'll as useful things
10 sell prepared by the ladies. Then
we had one of the best men in the
county to sell them. will give you
his name if you won't tell him, it
was Thomas Bolin Of Neeses that lit
tie fellow, who doesn't weigh but
$50 pounds gross. He just made
those boys pay the price for things,
but failed to sell the incest thing in
the lot. Now 1 want some of the
readers of this paper to make a bid
on it through this paper. 1t is a log
cabin quilt, made 0f silk and velvet
lined with nice quality sateen pre-
pared by one of the members of
Pleasant Hill Church for which
they are raising money to repair and
paint. Have had some offers but not
enough, would be, glad for anyone
to give a nice price for it.
School commenced at Magnolia
last week with Miss Funchus as
teacher had quite a small turnout
as the children have to help gather
cotton, it seems nat there is no
help to be had in this settlement,
but the caterpilers are playing hav-
oc with the young cotton, eating all
the leaves and the tender bolls so
that it cuts off a good deal Of cotton
that the children would have to pick.
People are getting on slowly picking
with all the help they can get.
Mrs. Ken Fullmore is improving

When to Look for Frost.

The average date for the fist kill
ing frost of the fall in this vicinity
is about November s. That is the
record of the weather bureau at
Columbia. a record for twenty-five
years shows that the earliest date at
which a killing frost was observed
in this section was October 10, 1896,
and during this same period, the
fear in which the frost waited long
est to come was 1902, when it was
the 2Sth Of November before the
deadly crystals appeared on the fields
in this vicinity.

answered. To tell child or to lead
it to infer that it. is "too little" to
know anything more on any subject
about which it already knows
enough to frame a. question, is to
deny it's capacity for further growth.

Parents make their great mis-
takes in their training of children,
by not recognizing their individual
ity. Each child has peculiarities
in mind, temperament. disposition
and character which makes it an in
dividual problem. Mothers in Ia
menting the failure of home discip-
line sometimes say, 81 am sure
cannoe understand it; have always
tried to do my duty by them, and
have always treated my children ex-
actly alike" Therein lies the very
secret of her failure; she has not
REALIZED their Individuality; she has
made the mistake of using the same
formula for different problems; she
has sought to move distinctly differ
ent locks by the same key. The
