veaIlng decelttulneSS IN us every
curve. Indeed, to sum up the whole
matter of smiling, it is the heart that
should make the smile, and the eyes
should do their share, and will if the
inner life is right.
Chapman said, young men think
old men are fools, but old men know
that young men are fools" Of course,
all young folks are not foolish, and
even if they were, they are harmless.
Ponce de Leon thought he had found
the fountain of youth in Florida, and
| wish every one of US could be kept
young during all our ifetimes, even
if we must die. 1t is pity to see
young blood go to the grave, but it is
a shame to see old blood cursed thru
disease and senility. Disraeli said,
youth is blunder, manhood a strug-
gle and old age a regret" Youth
makes blunders but often does not re-
greet or pine about it, while old folks
whine to recompense youth, where it
might have been better. We are
prone to talk of recompense, restor-
ing, bringing back. Now is truth is
stronger than fiction, why don't we
restore common sense reason and
natures methods and abide closer
along natures lines of hygiene and
goodness; then we would all be less
prone to have gray hairs and wrinkled
faces, stopped shoulders and beacon
opinions. Young men are filter for new
projects than for settled business.
Yet for business that must be settled,
the world demands young blood. Cor
tez conquered Mexico at thirty, Don
Juan won Lepanto at twenty-five,
Grotius was attorney general at
twenty-four, and our Savior died for
the redemption of the whole world at
thirty-three. No, it is no curse to be
young, but disgrace to taunt either
young or old. We are all doing the
very best we can, and that is all any
age can demand.
Mrs. Edward P. Pacetti and two
children left this afternoon for Flor

men is attracting statewide atten-
ton. 1t has been known for some time

Cupid's net and the announcement of
their approaching marriage is being
received with much interest by a host
of friends.
It's potato digging time and cane
grinding time and 'possum hunting
time down on the plantation. In the
homes the blankets have been resur-
rected and the sweet perfume of the
moth balls has soothed US to sleep
Now the hot wave has stolen back
upon US and this odorous acclimating
process has to be gone all through
with all over again. We wish the
weather man would dole out one
steady good thing all the time.
