The Most Beautiful Thing for a Girl

CIV. A. White, in Emporia Gazette.)
That's some dress you've got on,
little girl-it sure is. That delicate,
clinging, crinkly stuff is the prettiest
cloth On the store counters. That
silk Persian sash Of many colors,
so gracefully swathed about the cen
ter section of your anatomy, would
knock the spots Out of Joseph's
coat. You are corseted and tailored
according to the most extreme mode
in the advance fashion books. But
your neck Is too low and your
sleeves are too short, and your skirt
is far away tighter than skirts ought
to be. And the graceful slit expos
ing your dainty left ankle, shows a
stocking above your pump that is al
most transparent enough to read
through, and you haven't any more
petticoat than a rabbit-you know
you haven't. Oh, you're some swell,
you are. Have you noticed how the
loafers around the street rubber at
you as you trip dcLnurely by on your
way to the uplift lectures? And have
you been thinking. little foolish one,
that they were rubbering out of ad-
miration? Ask YOUR brother about
it. If he's got any sense he'll tell
you some things that will be hard on
your vanity and good for your soul.
And if you'll take his word for it,
you'll lay that dress away and don
something that's wide enough around
the bottom to allow room for two
p~etticoats and n pair of legs.
For there never was a dress de-
signed, little girl, that is half so
beautiful as a young girls modesty.

plain, ordinary fight caused by an

j.. c. DuckwOrth Again in the Lime
light-Other Matters.
(Rambler, in Pickens Sentinel.)

(Rambler, in Pickens S%entinel.)
Doubtless you remember the arti-
Gle in a recent issue Of the Sentinel
relative to the extraordinary good
farming done by J. C. Duckworth and
a ~900-pound mule on 43 acres Of
Oconee dirt, the details of which
most Of your readers doubtless re-
member.
Well, | was over there on May 20.
And coming up the fine automobile
highway from Westminster 10 Wal
halla, in that good section near
Coneross church, | espied a neat cot
tage on a little knoll over to the
right of the road, nesting amongst
a few pretty little oaks and sur
rounded by crops that looked good,
after seeing SO much in other places
that presented a desert-like appear
anCe. AS | looked about me was
impressed hat | was viewing the
place which Duckworth INT his mule
had made famous. So driving over
to the little home I was convinced
of the correctness Of my surmise, for
| was greeted with a welcome that
on.T a Pickensite knows how to give
t. " stranger within her gates" And
lhe evening being far spent, | yielded
to the cordial invitation to stay over
night, the earlier part of which, af-
ter the repast, was pleasantly spent
in social chat and listening to some
fine music rendered by the two Misses
Butler II Mr.. Duckworth's little
~l5-year-Old daughter. | wish to say
that the trio and their music was
worth a trip many times longer than
was made by your scribe to SOC &nd
hear.
AS to Mr.. Duckwor.n's farming: 1t
was as good as tne best; oats being
hauled in tat will thresh so bushels
pc" acre; cotton ready to square and
corn over knee high, that will make,
with seasons, 60 to IS bushels per
acre, and other side crops all look
ing well, and this in the face of a
drought that was making other Sec
lions look like a desert.
| want to say that every Pickens
man seemed TO be prospecting on Geo.
nee dirt, and among them, and not
to be overlooked, is III good friend,
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Murphree, who, in addi-
tion to being a good farmer, is de-
veloping into a real estate specula-
tor, having sold only recently for $50
per acre that which had cost but $25
some two ear past, and ~reinvested
in what she considers better land
near Richland at $35 per acre.
Viewing everything from al! stand
points, | am satisfied that III sister
county is proud of the citizenship she
has induced Pickens to relinquish,
and we Of Pickeps are proud that we
have been able to contribute so much
to the material uplift of our less
favored sister. CD

c!ares Richard Grant White, lis COM
ing into disuse." The result of this
practice is not only that we are al
ways mentally registering pronuncia-
tons peculiar to ourselves, which we
have no means Of ascertaining to be
uncommon or ridiculous, but also
that the natural tendencies of our
language, unrestrained by the con-
sentative force which occasional use
in conversation might exert, rapidly
foster new pronunciations and pro-
duce a diversity of pronunciation
even among the most careful speak
ers.
All these influences obviously sup
