We should strive to make our
selves such members of the house

the loss of sunshine from a summer
day. We can do it if we enter in
to the right spirit of home The
idea seems TO exist among us that
to be polite to each other in the
liy circle is foolish and like put
ting on airs. We must rid ourselves
of this notion and act on the prln-
ciple that whatever helps TO make
our intercourse pleasanter with
those outside family circle should
be brought into use there,

MOTHrkSNA AS THEY JOIN
THE HOME CIRCLE.

TO the young man who has no
taste for reading, the evening hours
become loaded with temptation. IT
is tiresome to sit moping by the
stove. and he naturally drifts TO the
streets or the card table Trhere
ne finds others like himself, with
racant hours TO while away and thus
grow up those habits and associa-
lions which soon eventiate in dissi-
patton or lead to crime.

All that a wife can do will not
make the home an agreeable one.
Neither can wife be happy with
a husband who is addicted to find
ing fault with his bread ard but

please him, yet when she sits down
to meals. she lives in constant fear
that some portion of the food will
not suit his taste

Will Go to Florida.

MIR. S. F. White, who has been the
very efficient Deputy Postmaster of
this place for several years, rendered
his resignation last week, and will, in a
few days leave for Bradentown, Fla :,
having accepted a position on The
Manitee River Journal. Mr.. White is
an experienced newspaper man, per-
fectly familiar with all the departments,
and is especially adapted to gathering
and writing news. 1t will be his bus
mess to assist Mr.. ]. H. HUMPHREYS,
who is the editor of the paper, and
there is not doubt but he will fill the
position in a perfectly satisfactory
manner. He will leave his old home
town with the best wishes of every
body in Columbia; and those who have
known him best take pleasure in com
mending him to the people of Braden-
town as a gentleman worthy of their
esteem and confidence. Mr. Whites
wife and little son will not take their
departure for several weeks, and their
going will be a source of much regret
Mr.. ]. H. Judd, gentlemen who is
well qualified, has assumed the duties
of the position vacated by Mr.. White
here, though the latter will assist few
days at the post Office before leaving
for Florida.

The Meeting at Baptist Church.

The series of meetings which were
commenced at the Baptist church eight
days ago, will continue over next Sun
day. Rev. Butler, Arvin, of Camp
bellsviile, who is assisting the pastor,
is preaching convincing sermons, but
the unconverted are slow to act. From
the start the attendance has been good,
especially at the evening services.
Each night the church has been filled to
its capacity and the closest attention
has ben paid the speaker. All de-
nominations in town are cooperating
and we predict that much good will be
accomplished The choir is rendering
inspiring music. and the special solos
and duets, by Mr.. Arvin and the pastor
are highly appreciated.

1t is a strange thing that good farm
ers, progressive men in their line of
work will not manifest more real de-
sire for substantial roads. 1t is like
wise strange that business men-merch-
ants and others, who depend largely on
the country for the prosperity of their
business are also Indifferent about good
roads, but in this section strange things
happen, The worth, the far reaching
influence of substantial roads can hard
IL be estimated, and yet, call after call
has been made to awaken general in
terest but without effect. This country
is able to build from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty miles of solid road
and pay for every mile without EN-
barrassment. We could carry bond
ed debt and no one be hurt but all bene-
fitted by the value and use of the roads.
There would be no trouble to place 5
per cent twenty-five year bonds at a
