Much to Be Thankfui For.

My Dear Unhappy You little real lze how happy you ought to be-. Married to the best man in the world, and with two lovely children, and still you are un- happy. Think for a moment what 1t would be to part with them all and to be Left alone. Would those friends who have more money take you into their homes and lives? If they did, would it fill the place of those loved ones? Even if you travelled the world over, if you are true wife and mother nothing on earth could take their place. My own life has had many sad experiences. have lost my dear parents. three lovely babies who seemed a gift from heaven to my husband and me, and then he followed them and I was left alone in the world. except for one dear daughter. If had given up then and thought of self, how could have brought up my one daughter to take her place in this busy world? She has been spared to be my solid comfort--the one thing in my life that has not failed me
 Try to be contented with the blessings you have. and do not make yourself wretched by envying the possessions of others Such content is the only way to happiness. All the wealth of the world would not compensate me for the loss of my daughter, and many would give all they have for one of your children. So cheer up! Why groan for what you can rot get? Look around you and do what you can for others less fortunate. The world is full of them, A MOTHER"

HARRINGTON

The town of Harrington has beer
remarkably quiet after the festivities
of the Fourth, which were so attract
i've. but the people are very much oc-
cupied in attending to their business
and cultivating the crops. so it is not
to be expected that Harrington is on
the jump continuously. 1t is probably
just as well that it is so, and the
people can be thankful that no great
calamity and shock to the people has
happened in Harrington, like that
which struck the people of Lewes with
horror at the murder of the pOstmas-
ter of that little city by the sea on
Tuesday evening last. when DR.. Par
ker shot and instantly killed Ebe T.
Lynch in his store, during a quarrel
over baseball.
The people have many things to be
thankful for. both for receiving as
well as escaping, and even if start
ling news is not produced, Harrington
is driving along in the lines which will
bring prosperity. The milk cooling
and shipping station is growing in
popularity each month, and the farm
ers are learning that it is more profit
able to feed the grain and feed on the

than to sell the crop for money direct
Several of the bright young women
of this vicinity will teach in the pub

are the following, viz. Miss Katherine
Hughes will teach the school in

ton; Miss Kates will teach what is
known as Little Dutch" school west

PAUL PRY's GLENDALE
LETTER.


Inc town council has at last gotter
n to work and has been hauling grave
on the streets. The road from the
railroad to Dickerson's Corners has
Deen completed and will soon be a fine
thoroughfare.
Glendale is not slow to take new
methods Of travel and there are few
families here now who do not possess
an automobile. Two new ones have
made their appearance this week.
News reached here Sunday that
Mrs. Mollie Gray had died in a Phil
adelphia hospital. Mrs. Gray was the
eldest daughter of Mrs. Arcadia Lloyd,
OF Dickerson's Corners, and had many
devoted friends in this town. Her re-
mains were brought to Bridgeville on
Tuesday where they were laid by the
side of her father in the family bury
ing plot
Henry Dutton, who died in VIII
mingtOn last week, was well known
throughout this locality. where he was
raised and where his advise was al
ways sought on matters about horses,
and his life has been a good example
for other colOred boys to follow. Many
attended his funeral in Lincoln on
Monday.
Peaches are coming into market but
are bringing only 25c per basket.
Blackberries are bringing S1.25 per
crate, but huckleberries, "the poor
mans crop" are paying the best of
all as they sell for &C per quart in
our stores.
An interesting sporting event occur
red on Saturday night, by the moon
light, when a young chap from Red
den, who thought he had great trot-
ter, challenged Robert Veasey to a
race. The Glendale mare beat and
the Redden fellows anxiety for race
was much cooled.
The Owens baseball team came to
Glendale last Saturday, boasting of
their ability to take the game from us,
but returned to their homes in diff
ferent spirit as Ellendale won to the
tune of II to 4.
On Monday morning, at 800 o'clock, |
some unknown person entered the I
yard of Mr.. Hitch in town, and shot |
his dog This has caused much anger |
among the family and they are anX
ious to know who did this and their |
reason for so doing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Veasey motor
ed to Easton last Friday to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Veasey's uncle.
Mrs. Peter Wallins, of New York,
has moved here on her farm, with her
family of small children.
Among the many summer visitors to
Glendale is Mrs. Sara d. Marshall, of
Baltimore, who is the guest of Miss
Gertrude Dickerson. 1t gives the Old
Man pleasure to see these charming
young widows but distress that they
us too old and set their caps
for the young chaps. Is there no one
left who would like an old man. past
fifty? We wish we could find a pretty
)ne in that notion.

MODERN GREEKS.

What and who are these modern
Greeks? The most skeptical invest.
gators admit that In most Of them Is
some blood transmitted from ancient
Greece and that there Is proportion
o, Greek descent in Greece about equal
to that OF Anglo-Saxon descent In
America. For the rest the modern
Greeks are either Albanian or Siav or
ylach
Besides the Greeks in Greece there
are other Greeks who far ouinumber
them. They are found on all the coasts
Of the Ottoman empire. Crete and the
other Islands until very lately Under
Turkish sovereignty have no other In.
habitants important in numbers. They
sre numerous In Asia Minor. In Syria
and In Egypt.
While domiciled elsewhere they ne.
main passionate in devotion to the
Greece they style Hellas. the modern

and finance, many OF them have gained

Moral in This Story Perhaps Applies
to Many Others-Tells Of Long
Struggle.

There is a moral IN this. It has to
deal with a person VINO came very
near giving up too soon. And the
story is told by his wife-a story that
perhaps is true with regard to many
others.
Mrs. Mary Gordon, Of 72O Seventh
St., Olympia, a suburb of Columbia,
says Tanlac made a well man Of her
husband, though he had suffered more
than 80 years with severe form Of
stomach trouble before he began TAX
ing it. And the moral in this is: Don t
give up" for she says her husband al
most lost heart when the first bottle
of Tanlac failed to give him the relief
he expected, and it was only because
of his wife's urging that he confined
to take Tanlac until she says he was
a well man when the Fouth bottle
was taken.
Mrs. Gordons statement in endorse
ment Of Tanlac follows:

of the stomach almost all of his life
for more than 80 years-and he had
it very badly. He got in such bad
shape that almost everything he ate

ABOUT ROADS.

Greenwood is also making an effort
in cooperation with Edgefeld to con-
meet the towns by an automobile high
way, which means good highway
for buggies and wagons and mules
and horses. Newberry could make IAN
effort that would be beneficial, is sue
eessful. and an effort does good wheth-
er the object is accomplished or not:
because it makes us stronger, to
make a good higway from here to
Saluda and on to Edgefeld and also
from here to Columbia and also from
here to Whitmire and on to Union and
Spartanburg. Good highways to these
points would help the town OF New
berry and also the county Of New
berry.
