When you have got little pain,
Just eat.
When dyspepsia shakes yor frame,
Don't prepare to quit the game,
But eat.
When you've got the tummy ache,
Don't give up for mercy's sake;
Grab good big sirloin steak,
And eat and eat.
Don't go round forlorn and sad
When you think you're feeling bad,
But eat.
Don't make up your mind to die,
Get a slab of good m1nce pie,
And cat.
When your dizzy head eareens.
Just forget what sickness means,
Buy plate of pork and beans
And eat and eat.
Give the lumbago and the grip
And paralysis the slip,
If appendicitis tries
To promote you to the skies,
Just eat.

Into you would put the crimps,
Buy a salad made of shrimps.
And eat and eat.

disgruntled ones complaining Of rher

no, wonder, they are trying, to kin

er indigestibIe stun, and then trying
to blame the hot and rainy weather,
as il, we could live without rain and
sunshine, which are great blessings
from the gracious and kind giver Of
all good things. s
The new schoolhouse is nearing
completion very rapidly, and when
completed will be one Of the greatest
acquisitions to the. Lee Seminary
section that has come to it in a great
while. The consolidation of free
schools and building of comfortable.
well equipped houses, and a good.
and well qualified class of teachers,
with proper compulsory school law
strictly enforced, will give the coun-
try children an opportunity for an
education, which the old mode OF
teaching in meeting houses and one
teacher to the school deprived the
children of obtaining.
One of the most s6ciable and very
much enjoyed events in this Lee
Seminary section was a surprise bir-
thday dinner in honor of Mrs. M. V.
Lewis at her very pleasant and hos
pitable home, on Aug. Is. At an
early hour her relatives and many
friends commenced gathering in with
askets, boxes, buckets and buggy
loads Of presents and delicious eat
ables of great variety, which would

grand children and her many friends,
which was thing Of beauty and an
object much desired and thoroughly
enjoyed by the large crowd in atten-

gathering was the. presence OF three |

social conversation to their hearts
content, hoping that many more such
events may occur.
Corn in this section is looking well.
