coming soiled. The decorative ribbons
need not be laundered, but may be
cleaned with gasoline.
A very handsome garniture is made
of about four yards Of ribbon two
inches wide III plain satin, and is
shown at the right of the picture. This
is to be worn with one of those lacy
nightdresses in which the deep yokes
are all of lace or net. Many Of them
worn over petticoat make attrac.
tive negligees, and the adjustable trib-
bon decoration comes in very handy
for embellishing them.
A large blanket-bow of wide, dotted
satin ribbon, made for the baby's car.
riage blanket, is shown at the center
Of the picture. 1t requires at least
four yards Of ribbon about five inches
wide to make it full enough, and five
yards is not too much, for there is a
cluster of four small, knotted loops at
the center and two knotted ends at
the back.
Made in the same way, of narrow
ribbon, is a single rosette. This is one
of those separate, small pieces which
milady may use where she will, on a
cap or gown or petticoat-wherever a
little touch Of color will add some
thing to the charm of lace-trimmed
and dainty garments.

Wrote to the Liquor Dealer.

A great many people are COM
planning about the increasing
number of whiskey letters or cir
culars going through the mails
and are wondering where the
dealers get so many names, says
the Anderson Daily Mail. Not
infrequently. we are informed,
as many as three or four letters
from as many different houses
are received by some people in
Que day. Becoming disgusted
with them, a little girl of this
city, little Miss Ruth BouchiIlon,
a few days ago wrote the follow
ing letter to a certain house who,
it seems, persisted in sending her
father a great many letters. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Sir:-I am a little girl
just ten years old and 7 want
you to stop sending my papa
liquor letters, because | want
him to go to heaven, and YOU,
too; butyou have sold so much
tbat. you cannot get there. Now.
7 want you to quit it. If YOU
want,to go to the bad place you
need. not try to carrys some
one else with you. I want
you to quit writing to US, for
papa is not going to order it and
you are wasting Your stamps
and time. for we put your letters
in the fire as soon as we get
them. You know the Bible says
no drunkard shall enter heaven
That means no seller can enter
there, either. The devil prom.
lses you big money if you will
sell the people whiskey. The
Lord says what does it profit a
man if he gains the whole world
and loses his own soul.
II hope and trust the Lord
when you get this letter you will
change your way Of living

Rural Graded Schools.

We are glad to see that Pick
ems county last week received
s140O from state for rural graded
schools in this county, to be dis
tributed among the schools as
follows: Zion, $500; Farr's, $500;
DacusviIle, $500; Gates, $500;
Oolenoy, $500; Montvale. 5000.
There are at least twelve other
districts in Pickens county which
should be on this list at the be-
ginning of the next scholastic
year.
The state has adopted the prin-
ciple of helping those who try to
help themselves, and the last
legislature provided ample funds
for helping those rural school
districts which vote a special
levy of four mills to establish
rural graded schools. The Pick
ems county delegation worked
faithfully for rural schools and
were successful in their efforts.
With the county and state
now helping to build suitable
houses every district should take
advantage of their opportunity.

In Memory of R. B. Lumpkin.

On Sunday morning, March l,
our neighbor and friend, r. B.
Lumpkin. was seized with
that terrible disease, Dneumo-
MIA. Being a man who
had devoted his entire life
to the amelioration of suf-
fering humanity, he did not
lack for help and comfort in his
hour Of need. In. spite Of all
his friends and DR.. valley could
dc, disease prevailed against it
all, and on the ninth day about
4 O'Clock in the afternoon the
last enemy which all mankind
must face placed its seal upon:
his brow and severed soul from
body and ended all his earthly
nsin and care. On the day fol-
lowing his body was laid to rest
in the, Mile Creek cemetery,
where he held his membership
and was superintendent Of the
Sunday school. The funeral
was conducted by Revs. w. G.
Seaborn and Fulton Childress.
To comfort and strengthen his
loving wife, children and friends
whom he left to mourn his death
and await their like summons,
his parting words were that all
was well concerning his passing
from time into eternity, and
there seemed to be no sting Of
death for him. His neighbors
will ever feel it a duty to look
well to the welfare of his family
as they call to memory that
spirit of benevolence he possessed
toward his fellow man.
May Gods mercy ever keep
his family and atlast unite them
where parting and sorrow will
be known no more.
A FRIEND.
