Last Friday evening an old gentle
man with gray hair and gray mustache
registered at the Grand hotel at ike1
nova and asked for room. He signed
his name on the register as j. II. Bal
ley, Dorothy, w. Va. As the man had
failed to rise at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning messenger went to his room
and found him dead. A bottle at his
bedside which had contained carbolicc
acid told the story. The stranger had
committed suicide. Nothing OF value
was ofund on his person, but he left
the following note:
81 can find nothing to do and this is
all the way can see out Of 1t. This Is
to certify that ] am a Mason and ask
my brother Masons to see that my body
! is decently buried

Mimnaugh's Big Sale.

When you inspect the ad Of MINI
naugh's annual January sale you will
feel like going to- the store and buy
ing. You will feel like wishing you
had plenty of money to buy with.
That's always the way. When there
is a good chance to get lot of goods
for little money you don't have the
money, or enough. But if you have
the money this time, whether you
have it to spare or not (always is it
the case you know you think you
haven't got it to spare) you go to
Mimnaugh's while the air from his ad
is fresh and the words are warm for
now is the time to do things.
Words don't justify blow, but in

justified in using the right words, be-
cause he has the goods and is going
to give you satisfaction

pretty good place.

Coroner F. NJ. Lindsay was called
to Helena Friday morning to hold an
inquest over a three months old baby,
but the coroner, after investigating,
concluded inquest unnecessary-baby
came to death from natural causes.
1t was stated in the last issue OF
this paper in an item from one OF our
exchanges, that man had recovered
from the loss of his hand. We think
we have never seen it stated in print
that way before. However let it go.

Fire on Route No. 3.

Friday night about II o'clock fire
burned the barn on Mr.. Bachman
Derrtck's place, which he had recently
bought from Mr.. S. NJ Duncan and
to which he had moved only the We'd
nesday before, in fact he hadn't finish
ed moving his fodder, by that means
saving about one half Of that crop.
With the barn were burned three
mules, three COWS, one wagon, a
buggy. 200 bushels of corn and half
OF his fodder. His loss was about ST.
900 or more, and there was only $3.50
insurance on the building, but ne
was lucky in having that. having just
previously arranged it as Mr.. Duncan
had been carrying it the past several
years.
In that fire Mr. Duncan lost a bin
der worth at least $125, on which there
was no insurance
1t is hard luck on man to have a
big loss from an accidental fire two
days after undergoing the trouble of
moving. The public will sympathize
with Mr.. Derrick.

An Appeal to Baptists.

To the Baptist of Newberry and
Vicinity: l am addressing you
through your community paper,
as we'll as through the Bap-
tist Courier, appealing to you to
enable me-by a persona! gift from
each of you-to pay an embarrassing
debt now resting on your State mis-
sion board
Quite number Of people have sent
contributions, varying from 25 cents
to $1,000, but this amount does not
come near paying the debt. BY just
a small sacrifice and some self denial;
hundreds of our people could send me
at least $1.O0 on this debt. This
beg you to do. Please do not imagine
that your neighbors will send theirs
and therefore you need not bother
to send yours. This is probably just
what your neighbor is thinking about
you.
If you send cash, you will receive
a receipt at. once, but if you send a
check or post office order, you will
need no receipt The name Of each
giver, and amount given, is put on my
book of remembrance Act at once
so we can settle this early in Feb
ruary.
Fraternally,

The Yonfh's Companion.

In an article on "The Object of Ed
ucation,' which President Hadley OF
Yale contributes to The Youths COM
panion, he presents two vivid ex-
amples of what education is not. Both
are taken from fiction. Dominic
Sampson in Scots Guy Mannering
was a profoundly learned man, but
he could not make use of one-tenth
of what he knew. His brain was like
an attic, stored so full of all kinds OF
materials that ne never could find the
thing he wanted 1t was of no
practical use. On the other hand. is
the character of Sherlock Holmes,
depicted by Conan Doyle as ignoring
all knowledge that he cannot use, i'm
patient when his attention is called
to the fact that the earth revolves
round the sun because that know
ledge cannot be of any possible help
to him in detecting crimes. This is
not education any more than the other.
He who has acquired useful educa-
ton is the one who is fitted not only
for his duties and enjoyments in his
trade or profession, but for his duties
and enjoyments as a citizen of the
United States. Vocational training
must be accompanied by training fer
service to ones fellow men as a mem
Der Of society.
