Mrs. Lillian Mae Tidrow. the art class

to be attached to such a date was
ignored and In defiance Of the time

sisted OF many delicacies, and 1t was
not the "bare imagination of feast
that cloyed the hungry edge of the
appetite" Each guest presented Mrs.
Tidrow with a remembrance and her
real appreciation and gratitude were
evident. Each one present agreed
that the affair was most happily con

Celebrated Third Birthday

Three years of life have come to
dear little Rhodes Dunlap and, as his
birthday was on Wednesday, his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. 8. H. Dunlap, were
glad of the opportunity to celebrate
the joyous day. So in the afternoon
five of his little playmates in the i'm
mediate neighborhood came in their
Joyous glee to make merry on his
natal day. On account Of the In
clement weather indoor games were
planned and the manly host with his
mother welcomed the small guests to
a world of fun and frolic. These
pleasures continued throug two merry
hours, amid the pretty surroundings
prepared for their happiness. The
birthday cake in the center Of the
dining table was frightened by three
pink tapers. Much fun was had among
the tots when the cut for the en-
blems contained therein. Lila Ora
ham Bryan cut the dime. Sam John
son the ring and the host the button.
Last but not least in the measure OF
enjoyment was the serving OF pink
ice cream and cake, which met with
the heartiest of appreciation. The
little guests on going home thanked
Rhodes for the good time he had made
possible for them.

You will find, too, that all

TOO MUCH CALAMITY
HOWLING IN SOUTH
CONSTANT MAILING is GIVING
THE NORTH THE IMPRESSION
THAT SOUTH is BROKE.
BADLY INJURED ALL BUSINESS

Belief in Some Sections That Farm
ers Down Here Can't Get the Food
They Need. Time to MuZzle the
Calamity HOwlers.
There has been too much wailing
and calamity bowling on the part of
the South. 1t has hurt this section
seriously in certain sections Of the
North.
Reports from the North and East
indicate belief, to a certain extent,
that many of the farmers down here
are starving and are really lacking
the ability to get the food they need.
Reports of this kind are coming
especially to some of the farm trade
journals that depend upon the North
and East for a large part of their
Advertising Manufacturers in those
sections are cutting down their ad-
vertising because of this impression,
and it is affecting not only those
journals but newspapers generally as
we'll. Producers take the view that
there is no use for them to advertise
their wares where everybody is broke
and where the farmers, as they have
been told. haven't enough to eat.
Southern newspapers generally
are beginning to realize that perhaps
there has been a little too much
gloom shed on the situation, and are
as a rule pursuing a different tack.
1t would seem that Northern and
Eastern business men lose sight of
the fact that the South has 10000
600 bales of cotton in addition to all
