Do You Like The
Youths Companion


John Wesley used to say that the
devil ought not to have all the good
tunes. The editors of the Youths
Companion think that he ought not to
have all the entertaining reading,
either So they make the Companion
one of the most attractive periodicals
ever published, yet one whose in
fluence can be trusted as you would
your fathers or mothers. That eX-
plains why the Companion has thous-
ands upon thousands of readers who
every Thursday night, under innumer
able lamps, in village after village,
town after town, bend with eager
faces over the fascinating pages of
the new number just at hand absorb
ing the accounts of strange and peril
GUS adventure, the droll sketches of
domestic predicaments, the delight
the world jigged little slower than
now, the contributions by men and
women of light and leading. There
is no other paper quite like, it,none
that seems to belong to the home b
beautiful-the home that typifies the
best in family life, the home of share
burdens and united interests. Let
us send you a sample copy of the
April sixth number. 1t will do you
good

We thought spring was with us for
and his wife had really been visiting
on thursday at the home of w. L..
Howard, but we were SADLY fooled
it only brought the big storm in
stead.
A crowd of young people gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. e. A.
Arnold, last Thursday evening. Miss
Myers, Miss Bertha Wade Miss
Sarah Slack, Miss Susie Lieuallen, M
Chester, Scruggs and Mr.. Roscoe
Scruggs made up the party. They
report fine time,, (But some are a
little sore at Elgie,). The hostess
served hot cake and chocolate, which
was very much enjoyed by all.
The big ROAST of the season was
given last Frid ay, by Miss Myers
and her children, eighteen in num-
ber. They built afire and had roast
potatoes, coffee and oranges and a
number of other good things to eat.
After toast and roast We're given,
some games were played "* Run
Sheep Run, "Hide and Seek" and
others. AS no out siders were invit-
ed we can't give all the details, but
we presume they had jolly good
time as they say they are to have
another one real soon.

Of the storm that was raging there
was a fine attendance. Yes it takes

Mrs. W. B. Allen, Mrs. ]. l.. lsh,
Mrs W'L Howard, Miss Lieuallen,

1t seems that the rumor

head, wiIl yet enter the race
for the democratic nomina-
ton for Governor. 1t would
place Judge Young's friends
in this part Of the State in a
rather awkward position
should his announcement be
forthcoming at this time.
Ninety per cent of the
democrats of Morgan county
have already expressed for
Senator McCreary and it
would be rather embarrass-
ing for them should one so
geographically situated and
whose common interests are
so closely allied as Judge
Young to enter the race at
this late hour.
Judge Young has the bet

where either he or the dem

race at this time.
1t is to be hoped that nc
further complications will
arise in the Gubernatorial
" situation and that Judge
Young will not embarrass
his and Senator McCreary's
mutual friends by becoming
a candidate for Governor
and asking them to change
their support from McCreary
to him.
