THE TONGUE.

"The boneless tongue, so small and
weak,
Can crush and kill" declares the
Greek.
"The tongue destroys greater
horde"
The Turk asserts, ethan does the
sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith,
"a lengthy tongue-an early DEATH"
Or sometimes takes this form instead
Don't let your tongue cut off your
head"
"The tongue can speak word whose
speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the
steed."
While the Arab says this impart:
"The tongues great storehouse is the
heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung
tongue"
Though feet may slip, n'er let the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole!
who keeps his tongue doth keep his
SOUL"

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Sept. 2O.-We
had enough rain in this section yester-
day to lay the dust. All late crops
have been cut short for the lack of
rain.
The farmers are now in the season
of hard work again and plenty to do
as the fodder season is on and there
is a great deal of late fodder to pull,
and cotton is opening at "a rapid rate.
The price is looking up.s 1t makes

ting on new life, looking to the future
with brighter hopes.
l forgot to mention last week that
l was over at Buffalo mills meeting
and talked with Mr.. j. H. Riley, who
is prominent business man of that
place. He showed me some fine DO
tatoes he had raised on his farm. Mr..
Riley is the champion potato raiser
OF the county. He gave me three large
ones weighing three pounds apiece.
He had gathered and sold 161 bushels
off one acre and had just begun on
that acre. He did not know how many
he would make to the acre but I
thought that was good yield. He
got $1.00 bushel.
l attended the ice cream supper at
the Kelly's school house last FRIDAY
night: Professor Hope and Mr.. A,
G. Kennedy of Union made very ap-
propriate speeches for the occasion.
There was cake walk and cake
sold by vote on three popular ladies of
that section. The cake brought $1,000.
Music was furnished by Mr.. John Fos-
ter and son, of Jonesville, on the self
playing-piano. The ladies VINO served
the cream and cake took in S32.7O.
This will go for the benefit of their
School Improvement association.
Professor Singley, of Prosperity, is
the principal of that school, and he is
liked by all and is doing a good work.
Another good woman has died in
this community. Mr.. w. w. Vinson's
wife died at his home Saturday morn
ing at 6 o'clock. This good woman has
been in declining health for a few
months but was not confined to her
bed but five days. Her death was not
expected so soon. In the midst of life
we are in death.
No one knew this good woman only
to love her. What we say now will
do her no good, but I will have to say
this. | was her neighbor; knew her
all my life; / saw her happily con-

GOOD ENOUGH TO PASS ON.

1t is a good rule in life to appeal
always to the highest and to the best
in ones fellow man. We saw the
other day where big town out in
Indiana had some road signs which
read in the usual commandatory
style. They told of speed limits and
fines. But these were taken down
and replaced with others that make
an appeal to the milk of human
kindness in the heart of the infatu-
ated automobilist. On the side of
every sign seen as one approaches the
city they read, "Don't Speed. Look
out for Little Children" And on the
side seen by persons leaving the city
they read, ''Thank you"
That looks to us irresistible!--Ex

ATTACHED TO PROXY.

Columbia, Sept. 18.-Corporatiops
newly organized, or holding meetings
tor the election of officers, may over
look one of the important paragraphs
IN the emergency revenue law relat-
ing to proxies. Prior to these meet
ings it is customary for corporations
to send to each stockholder a proxy
to be used in case the stockholder
cannot attend the meeting. If this
proxy is sent in and used at such
meetings, the law requires that rev.
enue stamp of the denomination of 10
cents be attached to the proxy and
duly cancelled and filed with the rec
ords of the corporation. A ruling of
the treasury department, received by
the collector of internal revenue, on
this subject, reads as follows:
"A power of attorney, or proxy,
for voting at any election for officers
OF any Incorporated company or as
soclatlon, and authorizing the proxy
20 act in such capacity upon all ques-
tons or matters presented at the
stockholders meeting, is subject to
a tax of 10 cents only, and when a
power of attorney, or proxy, is grant
ed for corporate meeting held for
purposes other than the election of
officers, such power of attorney, or
proxy, is not subject to any tax"
