..uo.uIug TO you
that he should not say, just bear it,
forbear saying anything IN reply"
Then to me he said: You do the
same" To-day l am thankful to
him for his advice; but that was not
all he said, but told of an incident
that took place between a man and
his wife. He said: "A man and
his wife we're sitting in a room to,
gether and something ran across the
floor, and the wife said, did you see
that mouse run across the floor? and
the husband said, no, but | saw a
rat, and the wife said it was a
mouse, and he replied, but 1 tell
you it was a rat, and she replied
mouse, mouse! and he said rat, rat!
And from that the wife said to her
husbands am going back to my
daddy's, and back she went. After
she was gone the husband begun to
think how foolish it was in both of
them, and he put on his hat and
went over to his wife's fathers, and
said to his wife: Look, here, it is
very foolish in you to leave me
about a rat and she replied: 1t
was a mouse, l tell you,' and again
iL was mouse, mouse, rat, rat. Back
home went the husband, but he was
miserable, and finally he said to him
self: We'll, let it be mouse, I
must have my wife to come back
home Again he went for his wife,
and told her that he thought it very
foolish in both Of them, and said to
her, Let it be a mousse and ler re-
ply was, Let it be rat, and after
that all went went well.'
Now, old uncle, if Sallie says tits
a mouse, you say let it be mouse,
and Sallie if Evan says tits rat let
it be a rat.
THAT is the way that your aunt
Polly (my wife) and 1 do. If she
says tits mouse, 1 say let it be a
mouse; and if I say tits rat she
says we'll let it be rat.
Of my own knowledge Uncle Sam
and Aunt Polly did that way, and a
happier couple 1 never knew. This
they learned from the mouse and
rat trouble, and 1 am very much
afraid that there ar. husbands and
wives to-day that need to learn the
lesson taught by the incident of rat
and mouse.
After telling the above he told of
an incident in his own life when a
young man. He said
Living few miles from my
daddy's there was a young woman
that was very pretty, and l thought
l was dead in love with her, and
her father was going to move away

RED OAK GROVE.
Writes Interestingly of Farming.
Visited Good Farms in This
and Aiken Counties.
Children Rehearse.

Continuous picking and hauling
away the cotton will soon bring
that industry to close in this section.
Good prices for cotton and extor
tionate prices on provisions, so it
makes something of hard times for
the farmer. Trust on everything
now even on eggs so we learn.
Could the farmers conclude to raise
as near as possible everything fol
home consumption, keeping good
garden the year around is big
start. Speculation would soon starve
and let the farmers rest some then.
Our farmers are talking now,
keep up with working peas, as well
as cotton. By this we conclude they
are gradually learning by hard
knocks both the importance and ad-
vantages obtained thereby.
We have recently seen some of
the splendidly conducted farms near
Johnston and down in Aiken coun-
ty near North Augusta. Corn is
lovely to behold, now ready to be
gathered, also The fields Of fine pea
hay ready stacked for baling. We
were told most of it is baled on the
field. We noted in Aiken county
the velvet beans in many of the
fields. We believe that both are an
advantage and profit. in that soil.
While on our trip last week we
saw our good friend Mr.. Milledge
Horne. He has lost in flesh yet not
in good spirits and patriotism. We
enjoyed finding him so we'll satis-
fed and submissive to the will of
an all wise Father. So feelingly did
he mention the kind thoughtfulness
of his neighbors. During our stop
we saw Mrs. Eldred Barton. meeting
Mr.. Barton also. They too had good
things to say for Mt. Zion folks and
the beloved pastor Rev. T. B. Lam
ham. We regret to learn the con-
trnaed railing health Of Mrs. Sue
Mays Garner, one of Mt. Zion's
oldest members.
Mrs. J. N. Grifis has returned
home after quite pleasant sojourn
among friends in and around Edge
field. She and Mr.. Gritiis are being
congratulated by their friends which
they humbly appreciate.
Rev. Pat Bussey and wife with
their little son, Thaxton, are guests
of Mrs. Mamie Bussey. Miss Mamie
Bussey expects to leave for Lime
stone to enter college there this
week. Also Miss Ruth Zimmerman
will go to Tubman high school in
Augusta. We wish them every sue
cess in their work.
Our Sunday school cordially in
vites every one especially those who
have not arranged exercise in their
school. to come be with us Sunday

We were glad to have in our
