The Passing of a Good Citizen.

Mr.. W. +. Johnston, who was one
Of Adair cOuntys best citizens, died
Monday afternoon about O'Clock at
his late home, between Midtown and
Miami, having been in feeble health
for some time. He was Seventy-four
years Old. a son Of John Waller john
Ston, who died many years ago. He
was quiet, unasSuming gentleman, a
farmer by occupation. Many years
ago he was a salesman in a dry goods
store in Columbia, the name of the
gentleman for whom he did business,
we can not now recall, but have an
impression that it was Willis Wheat
or one one Of the Miller boys, Nose
Ed, or 10 Zach.
The deceased was a half brother of
Mrs. \. |. Hurt and a brother-in-Iaw
of Mr. n. NJ. Tut, of this place. and
Mr.. J r. Tut, Of Midtown.
The deceased was man who walk
co in the fear and admonition of the
Lord, consequently he was ready when
the summons came He is survived by
his wife and five children, four sons
and one daughter.
The funeral services were held this
TUESDAY afternoon and the inter
ment was at Midtown, a large circle of
relatives and friends being present.

BETTER THAN SUPPORT.

Golden years are fleeting by,
Youth is passing too.
All! learn to make the most OF life
Nor lose one happy day.
Fortune will neer return sweet joys
Neglected. thrown away.
Nor leave one tender word unsaid,
Thy kindness SOW broadcast
The mill will never grind again
With the water that Is past.
When a maid is in her early teens
the worlds outlook appears bright and
rosy to her. She has no care, no trou-
bles. Her one thought Is enjoyment
and making the most of It.
II her folks are not well-to-do, the
first serious thought that confronts her
is what a help she would be to her
loved ones II she could but turn her
graceful dancing to account or have
her much-praised voice heard In prl-
vate entertainments.
Some of her family suggests why not
marry nice young man who would
shoulder her support and lifes wor-
ries? The maiden in her early teens
laughs that notion to scorn.
Marry for support! Not she She
has seen no one who has as yet awak-
ened her sleeping heart. She has the
notion that no girl should marry and
settle down until the fun Of being a
merry, rollicking girl is quite over.
She would live life free as bird S,
fitting here and there as fancy wills.
The Gagged bird is housed and fed, but
she watches her sister birds in their
freedom with her heart in her eyes and
wings almost broken from beating
against her gilded bars.
The young girl watches with admi-
ration the fair saleswomen who have
their own money to use as they please.
and who board where they like. Her
eyes follow the troops of young women
from factory and shops. They don't
have to ask odds of any man and put
up with anything and everything for
support. When 1t comes to marrying,
those girls will not take husband I'M
less 1t is love match, pure and sim
pie. The young girls with those no.
lions are the ones that forge ahead in
the world Later on, we see them as
buyers for great mercantile businesses
and the heads of departments, and all
high positions which the bachelor girl
proudly fills. They have done better
than to marry for support; they have
been true to their womanly principles
that love alone should warrant mar
riage. There is little or no congeniali-
ty between the couples who marry on
one-sided affection. The wife grows
weary of her thankless position all too
soon. Ten to one, it ends in the di'
vorce court.

trees are bending earthward with their
burdens Of luscious fruits. from which
the tables are to be plentifully sup
piled; all the fresh eggs and cream
boarders wish for. 1t will be sure to
be snapped up at once. Apply with
out delay"
The cautious business man suggests
II might be we'll to look the place
over. WHEY poohpoos the advice.
"Oh, JIM" she cries enthusiastically,
"I'n be so we'll built up in a month
you won't know mel"
Arrangements are made by letter
and hubby's check is duly forwarded.
If she could but follow that letter,
look in upon the scene at that board
ing house, she would have been a
sadder, but wiser woman. The farm
er's wife, daughters, sisters, cousins
and aunts are busy making ready for
the advent Of the summer boarders.
The shaky old beds are having new
nails and bolts added TO keep them to-
gether; likewise the old bureau. ward
robe and washstand. Mattresses are
treated to new coverings, as are pill
lows and holsters. Carpets are patched
and turned. A few cheap pictures are
hung over the damp spots on the wall.
The curtains are darned, hung and
looped so carefully that the fact they
are not mates will not be discovered
until later on.
The icehouse, which did duty in win
ter, is duly stocked with a fresh sup
ply of canned fruits and vegetables
from the luscious peach to the humble
beet. Condensed milk is not wanting,
nor crates Of packed eggs.
All look spick and span when the
summer boarders arrive. They see
with delight the fruits growing; farm
hands gathering up ripe corn, succu-
lent tomatoes, cucumbers and the
mealy Burbank potatoes. Viands on
the table don't taste half as good
as they anticipated; but imagination
goes a great way with the summer
boarder. II they got up at the cock
crow, they might see wagon loads Of
truck carted off to be shipped daily
to the city.
Hubby, who remained in the city,
gets all the fresh fruits and vege-
tables. WHEY, who was on the farm,
comes back to him as thin as though
she had taken a reduction cure. OF
course, place as she chose, might be
one inferior boarding place in thou
sand. The great majority live up to
what they promise. WHEY finds it's
a mistake to run away from home for
comforts and Injuries of the season.

Knew His Customer.

An old Englishman, James Scott by
name, travelled about on business UNI
til he was nearly eighty years of age.
He became celebrated for his punctu-
ality and methodieal habits. Upon ono
occasion a gentleman stopped at an
inn much frequented by Mr.. Scott and
saw fine fowl cooking.
THAT is very good" said the hungry
guest. You may serve that for my
dinner"
you cannot have that. sir" replied
the landlord. That Is being cooked
for Mr.. Scott, the traveller"

the gentleman. "Is he stopping here?"
"Oh, no, sir" answered the landlord.
But six months ago he ordered fowl
to be ready for him at precisely two
o'clock today, and we are expecting
him every minute"

SATURDAY HALF-HoLlDAY FOR
WORKING GIRLS.

Oh, but 10 breathe the breath
OF the cowslip and primrose sweet,
With the sky above my head
And the grass beneath my feet!
For only one short hour
To feel as I used to feel
Before knew the woes of want
And the walk that costs a meal"'
The working girls of New York, and
those all over the country, are jubi-
liant over a new plan which has just
gone into effect for their benefit.
Girls are holding jolllflcation meetings
everywhere; sending a vote of thanks
to their employers who have extend
ed to them a halfholiday every Sat
urday afternoon during the summer
months.
What excursions some OF them are
planning into the sweet, cool, green
country. All the village inns have
their Saturday night dances. Work
ing girls have read OF them, sighed
for them, never dreaming they could
participate in them.
But now they can get their best
bibs and fuckers ready, put them into
a handbag, take the afternoon train
that goes through their place, OF a
trolley car. In less than an hour
they'll be whirled to their destination
Usually two or more girls club togeth-
er on these trips. all sharing one room
and cutting down expenses. The old,
fashioned dinner puts new hearts In
them. There's time for a stroll be.

swath those city girls cut. The vii

grow bolder with admiration.
