In another part of The Sentinel today
we print an editorial from the Columbia
State of August 20 last, and it is well
worth anyone's time to read, and es-
pecially our boys and young men. It's
headed "a Mothers Love, that ever
interesting theme We all So love to dwell
upon. The name of Mother is the
tenderest, the sweetest of all earthly
names and it awakens and calls up the
fondest memories of that hallowed past
when her endearng presence and af-
fcctionate ministry made this earth a
heaven. Her fond caress and tender
sympathes and thousands of acts of
sollcitudc for her children revealed the
angelhood of her nature in all its beauty
and holiness and made her psesence a
safe and precious harbor where her
loved ones could find shelter from the
raging billows of stormiest prosecutions
and find solace for all the bruises that
had been made. Read it, boys and
girls, too. 1t will do you good.

While in town attending the Septem
ber term of Pickens court well-known
young man Of the county went out to
call on couple of capricious young
ladies one evening before leaving the
city for his home, and it seems they
framed it up on him to some extent and
planned to have all sorts of fun when
he came to spend the evening. AS he
was accredited with being somewhat
bashful, being from the country, they
thought it would be a great joke to
initiate everything he did. When he
appeared in the parlor he blew his nose
and each of the girls promptly followed
suit. The incident struck him as rather
funny at the time, but he didn't make
any particular cute remark about it..
He said Nice evening" and sat down,
and they repeated the performance.
The repetition Of the remark caught him
again, so before he did anything more
he rubbed his hands together and stroked
his hair. and they did the same. mot
so cold tonight - he ventured. in order
to be sure of his ground. and they re-
peated. with a slight change in empha-
sis. mot so cold tonight" There was
a slight twinkle of mischief in their
eyes and tie caught the cue. He straight
ened his collar and they did the same,
and one of them smiled trife. That
bashful Pickens county boy hesitated nc
longer. but deliberately stopped down anc
turned up his pants! The Sentinel's
informant didn't say whether the girls
initiated this phase of the joke or not
but we presume NOT.
