Many girls who go away to college
use their trunks as window seats, but
when they need anything from them
they find it rather inconvenient to have
to remove the cover and pillows. A bet
ter way to dispose of the trunk is as
follows, according to the New Orleans
Picayune. Have a shelf as large as the
top of dressing table fastened to the
wall just high enough TO admit your
trunk being placed beneath it with the
lid raised. Hang pretty curtain arorrd
the shelf and you will have an attractive
dressing table, as well as a hidden
trunk.

FROM NINETY.sIx.

Well! Well! folkses, as our letter
of last week was delayed and did not
get in we concluded we would try to
write a little this beautiful day. The
Madam and James A. have gone to
preaching at the Baptist church in
EbeneZer today, to get on their usual
monthly supply of good" but by the
Holy St. Patrick, the quantity or qua
lity one, is wrong as the effects give
out before the next round. Oh yes,
we just now thought how it is, you
see they have had no preacher for
some months until recently, and it will
take some time to catch up, see?
The old man and James were in
town Saturday doing some additional
work, plotting the Farmers Gin Co.'S
property for the insurance company
We had long confab with Cd Ely,
of the Farmers Gin Co., the other day
he seemed to be in pretty good hu-
NOR and kind of reminiscent and had
a good dealt to say about his expert
ences while working the streets of
Lexington. He says there are some
mighty good people in the old town;
and says there is only one thing on
earth more beautiful than faith in
your fellow man and that one thing is
for your fellow man to have faith in
you, and cites two special instances
illustrating this point of view in his
own experience in town. He says, as
you all know, that DR.. j. r. Watson
has large concrete platform built in
front of his residence, and at one time
he thought that he would have to un-
dermine this in order to give proper
drainage to that side Of the street,
but as things had gotten sorter warm
along those lines, he thought best to
speak to the Dr., in doing so; what
did the DR.. do? He just said you go
ahead, Joe, (he always called him Joe)
and do whatever you think proper.
know you will not do any thing to in
jure me. Then again he says that in
order to drain a certain place abutting
on Mr.. Ben Beail's property was ne
cessary to cut through a certain place
on said property; on the suggestions,
being made to Mr.. Beall, he says that
Mr.. b. told him to go ahead and dol
whatever was proper, in his judgment,
as he was satisfied that he would do 1
nothing to injure him. Note the Ian
guage identically the same. And old
Ely says such an expression of implicit
confidence in him. as indicated in the |
words of these two men, is something
making life worth living. He grows
enthusiastic in talking Of the kindiyI

body, SO far, as we know, are in good
health and still fighting the boil wee

they have him pretty we'll conquered,
not enough to do any great damage
so far as we know.
The people are all feeling fairly
good over the crop prospect in our
neighborhood, and if you don't believe
it come down and they will show you
better than | can tell you. Hardscrab-
BILE must be part of Gods country as
it is filled up with Gods people and
they all have good crops.
We learn that MIR. Garrard is trying
to make a trade with Mr. Will Byrd
to get him to watch his corn field and
see that it doesn't over shoot itself.
And | want to tell you, there are
some others in our neck of the woods
who have good corn crops.
And | want to tell you another
thing, this is the best neighborhood
you ever saw; every fellow stays at
home and attends to his own business.
You know as a general thing you
will find people. who are more anxious
to attend to someone else's BUSINESS
before they do their own. We may
have few of that kind but we are
not going to tell you who they are,
because we are taught in the sacred
book to love your neighbor as yourself.
Another thing we want to call your
attention to is that the people in our
neighbOrhood are a great people 10

there are husbands in our part OF the
county who know things that they will
not tell their wives. Now you know
that is a pretty hard thing to do, that
is to know anything and not tell the
old lady. AS general thing if you tell
the old lady secret it is still kept
kept going. Now don't tell any one

ing something that you dislike to hear.

SAID he told his wife every thing he

knew some things he was guilty of
that, if he had told his wife he was
guilty of such things, there would

But don't say anything abOutlt. And
the reason | ask you not to say any
thing about it is, just simply this
there may be some young man about
to get married and would decline the
idea. thinking the law would compel
him to tell his wife everything he
knew, and would be afraid that would
cause more one SIDED cases in court,
as they are generally one sided. Like
the negro man--he and his wife sepa-
rated, the wife employed a lawyer to
get her a divorce, the man hearing
that she was going to bring suit for di-
vorce, went to get a lawyer The law
yer told him that was unnecessary.
