Mr.. W. w. Condor is back from a
trip to the two Carolinas. He says
that at Shadburn, near the dividing
line, he saw bigger strawberry fields
than he ever dreamed of. Fifty re-
frigerator cars are going out from
the little station every day-three
hundred a week! He saw six hun
dred refrigerator cars standing on
the tracks. Mr.. Condor says tnat the
crops are so bountiful that securing
enough cars to accommodate the
growers is getting to be quite prob
lem in this vicinity.

MR.. ED CARMICHAEL TO BUILD
HANDSOME BRICK BLOCK

Mr.. Ed Carmichael, OF the Carmi-
chael & Son Co., of this city, in talk.
ing with a Banner reporter on Friday,
told him of his plans for the immedi-
ate erection of a handsome, two-sto-
ry brick building on his property on
North Magnolia street. The various
businesses of this company have
grown so rapidly hat their present
quarters are entirely inadequate to
their needs, and out of keeping with
the rapid growth of the states larg-
est and most up to date interior city.
The present Carmichael block will
be torn down and in place of these
one-story frame buildings this block
will be graced with a two-story brick
building. The new block will contain
five elegant stores in front, and ware
houses in the interior. The corner
store will be occupied by the saloon,
as at present, and the entire upper
story over the five stores will be used
as an immense store house In the
rear of the building will be erected
another big warehouse, which will
face hte railroad, and will be easily
accessible for the removal of freight,
etc.
Mr.. Carmichaers plans are not yet
completed for the new block, but the
above is practically as it will be when
completed.
Work will be commenced very soon
on the new Carmichael brick block,
and when completed it will be a
splendid ornament to the northern
section of the city.
Thus Ocal acontinues to expand
and improve.

In this year number 696,4O5. The off,

the British registration Is done in a
very cumbersome way, these lists will
do duty till the end of 1918. How lit
tie Ireland Is increasing in popula-
ton may be judged from the fact that
! the register is just thirty names high
el than last year. The best that can

at all. Once more it is Belfast that

nearly as many and Cork by 1000.
On the other hand, there is decided
back to the land movement, for
whereas the boroughs show sub
stant1al fall, the rural county electors
have correspondingly increased since
tenants have been able to buy their
holdings from the landlords.

You've not got long to stay,
Why not take things easy
AS YOU pass along LIES way,
Twill do no good to worry,

You may as well be pleasant,
Meet reverses with a song.
What's the use to crlticise,
What's the use to knock.
What's the use to ridicule
Or at some throw a rock.
Don't appoint yourself a censor;
No matter what you do,
This great big world was never made
For just a chosen few.
There's none of us that's perfect.
There's few Of us that stay;
And never stray or wander
FROM tne straight and narrow way
SO when You start to hammer
Some poor fool who's gone astray
Twill do no harm to pause ant

You may lose your grip some day.

Don't mention him at all.

friend of De Quincy, who was on a

Say It With a Smile.

If you're worried over something,
And your temper's sorely tried;
When with cares and tribulations
You seem overwell supplied,
Don't fret and fume and sputter,
With rise of angry bile.
But when you speak, talk softly,
And say it with a smile.
There may be moments, sometimes,
When, bowed with weight Of caro-
A visitor who bores you
For hours will linger there;
Don't rage with inward anger;
You'll live a longer while,
If. when you're talking with him,
You say it with smile.
If people come to ask you
For charity or aid
To help inter some brother
Who meath a shroud is laid
Fen if You can't afford it,
Don't argue ard revile
But If you must refuse them,
Why, do it with a smile.
The world is full Of shadows
Don't add unto it's gloom;
But try and light with gladness
Fen the shadow of the tomb.
If you've little luck or money,
High your wealth Of JOY will pile
If, when you speak. you always
Will say it with a smile.
