these words so we must leave the husbands virtues and
shortcomings out of the question.
Your husband. like everyone else, is apt to accept you
at your own valuation-the valuation that you Unconsci-
ously show by words, thoughts and actions, every waking
hour.
II you determine to be what God has designed you to
be-a helpmate to your husband in all his undertakings,
he will soon come to regard you as most necessary TO his
welfare. But If your only pleasure is in accepting the
admiration of the passerby to the duties which you have
covenanted to perform he probably will accept this doll OF
a woman and do one Of two things.
II he is a man OF means he will make you an advertise
ment Of his success in business, give you all the frocks
and frills that you crave, but he will draw away from you
gradually the confidence and respect he would give to a
woman whom he considers his equal in mind.
The time will surely come. my dear. when youth has

stranger to you; who only considers you a rare kind OF business investment
IN the way OF advertising his prosperity.

Note of Thanks

We want to thank the people
who have so kindly helped us
since the loss Of our home by
fire.
We spent the best years of our
young lives in building this
home and to us it was the dearest
place on earth, having been our
home for SO many years. To
see it 60 up in smoke was to us
an affliction indeed but this
trouble has also shown us how
good friends are in time of need.
We pray that God may reward
those who have proven so helm.
ful TO us, and bless them in every
way possible.

Sheriff ] d. Hood, who wa;
killed in Winnsboro, S. c., II
i-Mandav, is known to- a MIR
of Union county citizens. AfeV
years ago he and a deputy sheriff
from Winnsboro came here and
went up near Unionville to arrest
a negro who in that community
went by the name of Johnson
but who had assumed that name
after escaping from chain gang
or prison III South Carolina.
The negro resisted arrest and
was killed. Sheriff Hood and the
other officer were tried here. and
were found guilty of manslaugh-
ter. They neglected to get the
proper papers in this State before
they went out 10 make the arrest.
They were sentenced to four
months in Jail, the minimum
punishment for manslaughter,
and were pardoned by Governor
Glenn before they commenced
serving the sentence. Sheriff
Hood and his deputy made many
friends while they were in Mon
roe and made a good impression
on all with whom they came in
contact.-Monroe Enquirer.
