A Dinner That Was Suggestive.

The sumptuous feast that was
rerved by the Edgefeld ladies on
the long table near the court house
Sunday made US feel for the time
that we were at Stevens Creek or
Rehoboth or Gilgal or Berea or Red
Hill or Long Branch or Republican
or McKendree or Antioch or Horns
Greek or Harmony or some of the
other places in the county that are
noted for their bountiful feasts. The
truth of matter is, there are no
people in the wide, wide world who
can surpass the women of Edgefeld
county in serving big dinners. The
chef Of the Waldorf-Astoria can
not hold them a light. And as for
the hospitality of the people of the
county, it matters not where you 60,
nothing need be said.

Constantly Improve Soil.

No system of farm management is
satisfactory that does not provide for
the future as we'll as the present. A
crop this year and failure next year
is not economical unless the manager
expects to leave the farm before the
next crop is planted. 1t should be the
desire OF the manager to conserve fer
tlllty constituents and vegetable mat
ter in such way that the income will
increase as the years pass, rather than
diminish. A regular but an increasing
income is better than soil deterioration,
even though the first years crop be
large. Farm and Ranch.

Let The Other Fellow Say It.

What is the use of saying mean
things about the other fellow when
such mean things always hurt you
worse than they do him. If you don't
like the other fellow and he don't like
you, and you want to hurt him, leave
him to say the mean things. Maybe
he will say them and maybe he won t..
If he does not say them then he is
pretty apt to prove that he is about
as good man as you, and has about
as good case as you. If he does say
mean things about you, then, whether
the mean things reach you or not, you
have got the other fellow all right. :

Germans Loyalty.

From st Louis star.
The loyalty and unity Of the German
people in support OF their government
in this war cannot be questioned. and,
no matter how wrong others MAY think
the government TO be and how re-
sponsiblc for this terrible catastrophe
10 civilization, they cannot hut admire
the people of Germany for their devo-
ton 10 their fatherland. The response
TO the appeal of the government for
help by taking a loan has been marvel
GUS. Already bonds to the amount of
81. - .006.0ao have been subscribed by
The people Of Germany from their own
savings. Foreign countries have not
been called upon, save as Germans liv-
ing abroad have subscribed. This is
practically as much as the entire debt
OF the United States. and We have eX-
:,ctlv twice the national wealth of Ger
mauy. 1t would be the same as though
The people of the United States reach ed
down into their pockets and paid our
national debt twice over inside three
months.
