SOME DEFINITIONS OF LIFE
Not All Sadness as Some Affect to Be-
Ieve, but Cannot Be All Joy
Either.

Dreams! dreams! dreams!" an
swered Lord Beaconsfeld, bending
over the fire, when the late Lord Ron
aid Cover asked him, just before the
end, how he regarded the life of tri-
umph. And then, Enthusiastically
enough, smoking cigarette which he
had just accepted, the statesman said,
Il have not smoked since you were
here last"
Life" Lord Beaconsf1eld said to me
that last time was with him at Hugh
enden (wrote Lord Ronald after
wards), life is an ennui, or an anx-
iety;" and he enlarged on his text by
saying that for the self-made life Is
full Of troubles and anxieties, for fear
of losing the position or the wealth
they have obtained; and for those
born with position and wealth there
is nothing to strive for, and life then
becomes a mere bore, an ennui, and a
burden. "My idea," he added, "of a
happy future state is one Of those long
midsummer days when one dimes at
nine o'clock!" Lord Beaconsfield had
left out the majority Of mankind, those
who cannot afford either to be anxious
or to be bored, and, indeed, in that
halfway state I believe the truest
earthly happiness exists.
Life" added Lord Ronald, when
those we have loved and cherished In
it are taken from us, is long sad
ness; but, thank God, we may humbly
hope that in his good time we shall
again meet with our lost and loved."-

Rank and File.

He was rookie" on his first sentry
duty at one Of the government reser-
vations. The corporal Of the guard
had told him what to do when the
officer Of the day appeared, which by
rule ought to be at about half-past
nine that night. Sentry was to no
tify corporal when the officer had
passed. At ten o'clock no report from
the sentry. The corporal wanted to
know why. Much perturbed, the SEN
try said he was sorry. He had not
seen the officer.
Keep me posted" said the corporal
sharply. "Re might be late"
Fifteen minutes later the officer ap.
peared, and this colloquy ensued:
Sentry-Who goes there?
Officer-Oficer of the Gay.
Sentry-You're late, you are. You'll
get the devil when the corporal of the
guard sees you.

Cocoa as Currency.

Cocoa passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite a plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in 1910
tells us the Indians used none OF
their gold or silver for traffic in OF
buy withal," and unto this day the Gus
tom continues among them that in
stead of money they use cocoa. The
Aztecs of ancient Mexico also used
cocoa" as small change, as many as
5000 beans being counted legal ten
der. The value of the beans may be
judged from the fact that "a tolerably
good slave" could be purchased for loo
of them.

Newsy Letter From Red Oak
Grove and Flat Rock
Community.

Another good day at Red Oak
Grove, large congregation greeted
pastor, Rev. G.. w. Bussey, yester,
day. Rejoice always" was sub
ject used and very much enjoyed it
was. A vote was taken to raise pas
tors salary, which was unanimous
ly carried. Enlarged salary is one
evidence of the esteem in which
Mr.. Bussey is held by his church,
the place of his birth. May mis-
days among us be many, fol- his
place will be hard to fill.
Our men-folks are enthused over
bonding county. Good roads is
what they want now, since the way
has been plausibly presented. Most
of them seem to have the right con-
ception now, and are eager to do all
they can. I think Good Roads
Day" will be generally observed in
this immediate section. Am quite
sure it is step in right direction,
bene6tting man and beasts. to-be-
sure it enhances the value of our
property, besides gives the sur
rounding country better rating to
the stranger passing our way. Pm
as much enthused over good roads"
movement, as that of Educational
advances, for good roads
means better advantages to our
schools. Yes over again. Be as
sured this household is not only
a good wisher to both, but active
servants, willing to lend aid in
every way we can. May the day be in
near future that the proper spirit
toward both movements be state
wide at least. We are 30 proud, as
Mr.. Minis said We live in South
Carolina and no where else, that we
want our state to rank among first
in every good work.
The oyster supper for Flat Rock
school was held at Mr.. Joe Busseys
home as much better accommoda-
tions could be extended our friends
there. While the sum raised was
pleasing, that was not all our COM
mittee had in mind and desired from
our friends at large, but we hoped
to add to our community in a So
cial way, and as things occurred,
we now can't decide that our efforts
were appreciated, or abused. Tho
we forgive, and pray for every one,
that they may have the proper
manhood to overcome the weakness.
The Y. W. AS will meet on next
Saturday at Miss Dendls Dows and
finish their quilt for Orphanage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Nixon and fam
lily from North Augusta came up
and spent Sunday in our town.
Mrs. Eva Bussey and little Har-
old. also Mrs. Lizzie Shelton spent
Sunday evening with Mrs. Lamb,
making the evening 80 pleasant.
Eva is facsimile of her dear mother
in nature, as she grows older.
Our social circle meets the 7th
at Mrs. Joe Bussey's.
The coming of Christmas is fore
most thought with. our girls and
boys, and older ones too, so may we
be planning as mothers tv make it
an instructive one as we'll as hap
py one. The child's mind should
be impressed now with the proper
spirit of Christmas.

The Importance of Skin Care
In the Springtine

infectious skin diseases are irritat-

gerous. There never was a greater
mistake mAde than trying 10 cure sDsh
disorders with pAstes, lotions, or
creams, rubbed On the outside. You
can't cure skin diseases that way, be-
cause they are the direct result Of in
fsctsd blood, and yea can't rub or
soak poisons out Of the blood.
The &nnoyanees Of skin troubles are
worse IN spring than any other time.
The persprakioa that starts with the
first warm days intensides the smart
ing, burning sensation, and makes the
trouble almost unbearabie. There Is
only one way TO relieve them, and
that is through the blood, which must
be thoroughly cleansed and purified
