We hope the friends of The Rec
ord, when they come to town to do
their trading, will patronize the busi-
ness houses that advertise in this
paper. Remember that without these
liberal merchants, bankers and other
enterprising business men, the price
Of subscription would be at least SO
a year for such a paper as The Rec

men who advertise are wide-awake
and on the alert and can give you
better bargains than those who do
net advertise. This applies not only
to Kingstree, but many live and up
to-date business men of Lake City,
Scranton and Greelyville recognize
the palling power of an ad in The

Bohemia In this hair-raising region

hair It takes, too, at that It comes
packed in straw In bales averaging
1870 hounds In weight. Chirk hair, as
everybody here knows, is bad black,
intensely so, and in such color Is no
use or value at all So the first thing
20 dc IS to make it a missionary bload
by bleaching 1t in a pretty strong bath
of peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia.
This kills germs and makes the hair
pretty safe.

But how? Choose a poet who Is gen

every day, even II 1t be but for Ave
minutes read page carefully, noting
every suggestive word and visualizing

Poetry must be read carefully or 1t

be looked for, for the subtiest and
sweetest beauties are not those that
hit you in the eye Read carefully
and read honestly Don't, for heavens
sake. make any pretense OF enjoying
something you do not enjoy or OF see
ing beauty that you do not see. Bet.
ter far never read a line than to do
that. But hunt for something that
really appeals to you, and when you
find 1t tie 1t to you and make 1t yours
