TALKS ON THRIFT

In the daily papers comes the
story of the downfall of the
widow of prominent Wall Street
man, who twice has been pre-
sented to British Royalty, lived
on Fifth Avenue, was social
leader and a woman of the four
hundred. In the brief six years
of her widowhood she has wasted
a fortune of over one hundred
thousand dollars and now faces
the charge of passing a worthless
check. She says she made "sad
mistake" but did the chest she
knew how" with her money-put
it in ill-advised business ventures,
invested in doubtful securities and
spent the rest in social aspira-
tiOns.
Of lesser magnitude, but no less
tragic, is the recent case of a
German woman with three chill
dren, who in the short space of
ten weeks has spent (not Gin
vested") the fourteen hundred
dollars received from her hus-
bands death in an accident. Dur
ing that time she has visited the
savings bank on an average of
every other day, drawing from
twenty-five to fifty dollars each
time.
Another woman who received
a life insurance payment of two
thousand dollars wasted her in
heritance in two weeks on the
races. Another who received a
thousand dollars bedecked her
self with jewelry and had to go
back to the factory within three
months. A certain youth received
two thousand dollars as his share
of his uncle's estate, quit work,
and lived the high life for short
time, and then went broke, as
they all do.
The only redeeming feature of
these processes is the fact that the
waste of money cures itself, for
soon there is no more to waste.
The above-named individuals
have found it out. 1t matters not
whether the sum be large or small,
it seems an endless amount, but a
little extravaganza every day
soon brings the fund to a state of
exhaustion.
Life insurance companies have
found upon investigation that
large proportion of their policy
settlements are frittered away in
the course of a few years. The
hard work and sacrifices of the
bread winner, in which the ben
eficiary usually has shared seem
to count for naught when the set

womanhood, but as a sex they
seem to have the knack of spend
ing easy money fast. While a
thrifty woman is the Lords
choicest creation, the thriftless
one is his greatest bane. Bank
men Of experience will corrob-
crate the conclusion that it is
unwise to leave money to the wife
in such way as to tempt her to
be improvident with it. The for
tune first mentioned would have
given the wife an income of at
least five thousand a year for life,
if properly invested, and the small

Boy Scouts for NOxebee.

Mr.. J.. R. Dinsmore last Saturday re-
ceived his commission from the Nation
al Council Of the Boys Scouts Of Amer
lea to act as scoutmaster Of the local
troop. This proved very welcome news
to the Boy Scouts of Macon, for the
local troop has been in an unorganized
state for several years, and the boys
who had passed their examinations
were waiting anxiously for a leader.
At the request Of those most interest
ed in the movement Mr.. Dinsmore con-
scented to accept the appointment and
the necessary steps were taken to Sc
cure a charter for the troop,
Last week the troop was enrolled as
a part of the National Boy Scouts and
with his commission Mr.. Dinsmore re-
ceived from the headquarters at New
York the certificates Of membership Of
the following boys: Harvey Crigler,
Emmett Cavett, Featherston Doug
lass, Lancelot Dent, Powell Patty, Cal
win Lucas, James Horton, Boyce Elkin,
Don Swami, Sydney Morgan. Leonard
Barnes, Hannis M~cCorquodale, Frank
Hickman. George Schimmel, Andrew
FAINT. Ernest Boyd, Sessions FAINT and
Joe Stephenson are on the waiting list
and will receive their membership cards
when they reach the scout age.
Mr.. Dinsmore has taken hold Of the
work with great earnestncss and will
soon place the Macon troop on the
plane with the thousands Of efficient
troops all over the country. He ex-
poets to secure a club room where the
meetings of the troop will be held and
he has planned for the boys to begin
work at once on the study ofscoutcraft
Among other things he expects to have
it said Of the Macon scouts that not /
member smokes cigarettes, and he ha
notified all members that he want
every member Of the troop to have u
bank account by the first of April. II,
also notified the troop that every mem
Der must earn all the money he spcnd
on Boy Scout equipment and hat whel
all the boys earn the necessary amour
the troop will be equipped with Sou
suits.
It has been suggested that some
leader undertake a similar work for the
girls Of Macon and organize a. club Of
Camp Fire Girls. Those who are in
terested in seeing the girls organized
should speak to Prof. McMillin about

Oft times you hear people grumb-
ling about hard times. What do
they mean by "hsrd finest" It
has come to a point where people
impose upon themselves, and every
one else by living too fast, and be-
You'd their means. If they are
not able to buy an automobile and
have everything that they would
like to have they talk "hard
times.n Suppose that you are
not able to have every luxury that
may be desired. Stop and think
of others who haven't even the
necessities of life. For instance,
a post card was received in West
Point a few days ago from Greece,
and the writer said that flour was
selling at 40 cents a pound. What
would you do if flour was selling
at the same price heref This
country has passed through hard
err times than at present, and sur
vived. So every one should help
boost, and stop ''hard tines talk.

Burglaries In BrookoviHe.

Prosecuting Attorney Allgood went
20 B~rooksville Tuesday to represent
the state in cases against two negroes,
ore for breaking into the residence of
Rev. Mr.. Beard, and the other for
s ealing, or rather attempting to steal,
q COW.
Mr., Beard home was entered while
he and his wife were attending prayer
meeting, and when they came home,
found the door of the bath room open
but did not discover until the next
morning that the house had been bur
larrized. No II was allowed to en-
ter the back yard, where the robbers
entered and left the house, and blood
hounds from Houston, Miss, were wir-
ed for and arrived on the moor train.
They Immediately took the trail and
without hesitation followed it to the
farm of Mr.. George Crymes about three
miles west of town. The dogs. when
they entered a negro's house on the
place, went to a pantry, then to a bed
in the house and from there they fol-
lowed the track to a stable. A mule
had been taken from the stable and a
short distance from there the trail was
lost. The negro who had ridden the
mule away was in a field blowing and
the dogs Immediately took up the trail
where the negro got off of the mule,
and went on him in the field
The negro denied being in town the
day before but his alibi didn't stand
and it was proven that he was in town
where he had gone for some meal, that
when he got home he went to the bar
rel and emptied his a The had
followed every movement he made.
While the higher court has held that
uncoroborated dog evidence was not
sufficient to convict, but it was consid-
cred that the evidence against this ne
gro was sufficient to hold him for ac-
ton by the grand jury, which will meet
the third Monday in this month. Only
a few dollars were taken.
The other case was that of a negro
who tried to sell a cow worth S25 or
$50 to several parties at the depot one
day last week for $40. He first offered
it to MIR. Scott Farmer, who told the
negro to wait until he could make in
quiry about him. When Mr.. Farmer
got back home he found the negro gone
but soon found him with the cow at MIR.
Walter Williams store. where he had
made the same offer. The negro then
ran off and left the COW, and MIR. Will
liams turned it in his pasture and on
inquiry it was found to be the proper
ty of a negro tenant on MIR. VIM. Muck
OILS place,,near Brooksv lille. This ne
gro was put under bond for his appear
ance in circuit court.
