The above notice merely indicates
the unwholesome conditions with
reference to the general epidemic of
roguery that is absolutely blighting
the town. Petty thieves are having
their own way and seem to be per
fectly secure.
Probably not a night passes but
some chicken yard, store, dwelling
or store is raided. 1t would be per
fectly safe to offer hundred dol
lars reward, as nobody seems to care
to apprehend the thieves.

Several four-horse loads of or

very distinctive and beautiful. There
is nothing insipid in this sweetness.
It is the peaceful calm resultant
from years of sclf-control, self-reli-
ance in emergency and gentle SOW
reignty.
When the Judge speaks fondly OF
his daughters as cultured, the term
is not chance phrase, lacking mean
ing. The daughters of the south are
more than merely intelligent and
ordinarily we'll educated. Southern
girls, more than daughters anywhere
else that we know OF, have been the
constant companions Of their often
learned and always well-bred fathers
and the social traditions and GUS
toms of the South, where the inter
osts of men and women are closely
associated and plans and projects
freely discussed in the family circle
have developed culture in women tC
an exceeding great degree.
And the good boys OF whom
the father proudly boasts. 1t Is
through the energy and progression
Of such SONS of the Southland that
the new South is risen from the
war-strcwn ashes Of the old anu
clothed itself with the mantel OF Ola
strength under new conditions o.
life. 1t is the good boys OF VIZ
ginia and her sister States OF the
Confederacy who are lifting the bar-
den off impoverished estates from inc
weak hands OF heroic women WhC
held them with desperate strength
when their fathers and Husbands
lay slain upon the fields OF battle
Yet it is OF such elements as sWee'
wives. cultured girls, good boys ailc

would have been worthy to lead the

UTILITY OF EXPERIENCE.

Because a man disapproves Of new
ways of doing things, is no reason
why he should be accounted back
number" In many ways the methods
to which he has been accustomed all
his life, and which were instilled into
him from boyhood, are the foundation
stones upon which the newer methods
are built. Their basic principle is the
same. but whereas In former days they
we're intended to meet only specific
conditions, in these later days it Is
found necessary to develop them sui.
ficiently to cover possibilities which
were undreamed Of a generation or go
ago. Experience undoubtedly Is the
best teacher, and fortunate indeed Is
he who can turn the lessons OF the
past to good account in the solution
of present-day problems. To do this,
however, he must possess, besides the
advantage his experience brings, suff'
cient insight and sufficient foreslgh'
to absorb something of the newer an'
more "up-to-date" ideas. Otherwise
he will find himself crowded out anG
denounced as back number" Com
mon sense should teach him that con
ditions are constantly arising which
were never taken into consideration
before, for the reason that they neve'
existed, and common sense should
also teach him that the methods tor
merly in use cannot always be de
pended upon to reach these conditions
It Is absolutely necessary for mar
to keep up his interest in the world o
affairs and to take part in the activi
ties Of life If he wishes to continue Il
be factor in their development.
