farmers are through planting in thi:
section except some corn that will be
planted this month. Many are going
fishing these days and having a good
time.
There will not be much work done
in another week unless we get a
shower of rain, which is needed very
badly at this time.

Miss Sallie Whitlock of the New

Gault Sunday and attended Sunday
school.
Mr.. C. o. Allen of Greenville was
down on his farm last week.
| met man the other day that
had lost his wife a few months ago
and he was glad to talk with me. He
said he knew how to symapthize with
me, but he said you know they have
guyed me and it is out I am going to
marry and l hadn't thought about
it."
Well, he said you ought to defend
us widowers again.
AS news is scarce and this may not
be much news either, will say, dear
friend, it doesn't matter what people
say about you; it doesn't hurt, if il
isn't so. You may expect to be
guyed. / am used to it.
1t is no disgrace to be widow O.
a widower.
/ will give my experience. / lost
a good wife; did not know how great
she was till l lost her. No man knows
the value of wife or friend till she
dies. A wife is your nearest and
dearest friend. She is one you can
unfold your greatest secrets TO.
Well, we fell little sore over this
guying and criticising, but if you will
stop and think you will not be able
to criticise. Now my ambition is to
go and / will keep company with the
lady folks as long as they will ac-
cept and keep my company. / will
say for the ladies. l can compliment
them. They all treat me kindly and
I app, eciate it.
This widower is a man with big
heart and I am one that will not taki
a back seat.
l will take hair cut, shave anC
a shoeshine and go with the LADY
folks when it suits me and is agree
able with them.
Now before / married the first tim,
l sported the girls "I courted some.'
There is some difference in sportin,
and courting. Sporting is some past
time courting may mean business.

Well, l loved many girls before
fell in love with my wife and when
fell in love with her it seemed like
the love / had for the rest flew away
and centered on her. And she loved
me in return. Then we married, and
unless l can fall in love again with
one that / can love like | did my
first wife and then love her better
than any of the rest, will never mar
ry.
Now, l guess l have said enough
and don't expect to say any more.
You may call me a crank if you want
to, but could have been married long
ago. / have always had common
sense enough to take care of No. /,
and l hope that l won't have to have

METAL TIES IN EUROPE

The scarcity Of wood for general
purposes and the increasing cost OF
wooden railway ties in Europe has
encouraged the manufacture of and
general use of metal ties in recent
years in the railways on the cont.
nent. About 20 per cent of the
ties used on the Federal railways
of Switzerland are metal. The ma
jority of the wooden ties used are
made of Swiss wood.
Metal ties were first used in the
Swiss roads in 1881, since which
time they have gradually replaced
to a large extent the wooden ties.
Iron ties r especially recommends
ed on the Swiss roads where good
quality gravel is available for bal
last. Wooden ties are used in tun-
nels and in localities where the con.
ditions do not permit of good
drainage along the railways. They
are. generally used also in street
crossings in towns aud cities where
the track is graded with gravel up
to the level of the ties.
While the cost of metal is greatly
in exces Of that IF wooden ties, the
longer duration of the former
makes them cheaper in the end, as
they do not have to be replaced so
frequently, which is an expense
that has to be taken into considera,
tion when wooden ties are used in
road construction.
The following prices are paid by
the Swiss Government for plain, or
implied, wooden ties, 9 feet long
10 inches wide and 6 inches thick
Oak, $l.25 to S1.50; beech, $O.81
to $l.12: larch, $0.s3 to Sl.16;
pine $0.73 to $O.96. Oiled wood
ties of the same size and quality
Oak, S1.58 to S1.87; beech, $1.45
to $1.Sl; larch, $l.14 to $1.54 pine
$l.04 to $l.35.
Iron ties 0 feet long, 81 inches
wide by st inches thick, weighing
1860 pounds, sells for $3.50. The
metal ties used on Swiss railways
are imported from Germany and
are purchased on contract by the
Federal Government of the German
