OF course we are conspicu-
Gus, as the garden Is close
to the road and neighbors
go by and make remarks.
Now the question is: Shall
we don our skirts just to
please others, and creep in
the dirt to make dirty wash
ings, or continue to please
ourselves and go our own
regardless of the remarks?
ANXIOUS READERS.
A.-That all depends upon
how much you allow the remarks
to effect you. Under the circum-

in wearing trousers. Besides
you are on your premises and at.

That's more than the people who
are making remarks about you

house Thursday morning is to secure
this cooperation. All men in Ter
rell county who are interested in the
movement are requested to be on
hand promptly at nine o'clock.

CHILDREN OF CONFEDERACY
PICNICKED AT POND LILY
Affair Given in the Honor of Their
Popular Directories.


Pond Lily park proved very in
viting place for the meeting of the
Children of the Confederacy on Sat
urday afternoon, the occasion being
in the nature of a picnic given in
honor of the directress, Miss Lille
Cheatham. A swim in the fine pool
was the most appealing feature of
the afternoons entertainment. A
spread of tempting refreshments in a
shady nook was heartily enjoyed. In
addition to all the good things that
usually make up the ideal picnic
lunch delicious ice cream in abund-
ance was provided. This meeting
was the happy closing of year of
good work along patriotic lines. The
chapter accepted the invitation of the
Daughters of the Confederacy to
unite with them in the observance of
jefferson Davis birthday anniversa-
ry. In the work of directing the ac-
tivities of the Children of the Con-
federacy Miss Cheatham has had the
assistance of Mrs. Drew Dismuke of
Graves.
