dear old lady whom 1 know went
recently to visit her daughter and her
children in another state.
She had a beautiful visit but came
home looking very tired. After a
time the reason came out. She is
used to sleeping in a large BED. Her
daughters home is small and full of
children and she slept on a couch.
1T was very comfortable couch"
she said in quick defense of any I'M
spoken criticism, but the last few
years I can't seem to sleep as we'll on
couch. I like a headboard and a
footboard somehow. l know I'm
foolish but old folks are apt to be
that way. And then I slept in the
room with Roderick and I'm not used
to sleeping in the room with anyone"
I Abuse My Privileges.
Did Roderick sleep on a couch
too?" l asked q have a close friends
advantage Of them).
"Oh, no, he has bed
II should think he wouldn't mind
sleeping on the couch and letting
you have his bed"
"Oh WE'LL" she said. II don't think
his mother would want to move him.
He catches cold awfully easy. Any
way it was very comfortable couch
1t was just my fault"
Surely this is the century of the
child.
The Child Comes First Nowadays.
bI quote that incident because it was
typical.
This is the day when not only the
childs development but his comfort
and his pleasure are put above the
comfort and pleasure Of older people,
Look back at your own youth.
When grandmother came to visit
and the home was full, who slept on
the couch, you or grandmother?
More Likely You Curled Up On the
Sofa.
Indeed you were lucky if you had
a comfortable couch to sleep on.
Couches weren't so plenty then. More
likely you had to camp out on a sofa
or some such contraption. My own
memories are of a curious extension
chair that was supposed to serve as
a bed in time of stress,-a sort of

peared preposterous to imagine that
she would have the power to injure my

that If by any chance the opportunity

My Knowledge Of Lillian's trouble

ARTILLERY RANGE
IN CHESTERFIELD (?)

Charleston, Sept. 17.-That the gov
ernment is considering buying a large
tract of land in the sand hills of South,
or North Carolina is reported here.
Such a tract of land will be used as
an artillery field for the men in train
ing for the surrounding territory, and
several government agents and in
spectors have been over several large
tracts situated in Chesterfield county
and they are likely to report favorable.
If such a report is made and the Off
cials of the government buy, the trans
action will involve several hundred
thousand dollars. Not only will there
be direct result of such a sale, but
the whole country around will benefit
materially.
A large field situated in North or
South Carolina will be utilized as a
means of training the raw men in the
national army, and perhaps be used
also as target field of the National
Guard units that are to be trained at
Spartanburg and other camps.

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Sept. 18.-We
have had quite cool spell. The equi-
noctial gale has been on as we always
have a September gale but this was
one without rain. 1t has only been
cloudy and windy but very cool. There
has been frost in some places, none
to hurt in this section. / guess if it
enough were to come to nip the cotton
in Texas the price would go up. 1t
does seem to me that the Texas pros
pect for cotton generally rules the
market. When the report was made
that it had rained in Texas there was
figuring on top crop and it seems to
press the market down.

stuff if it is all gathered and saved

That will be great thing for all peo-

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up COrns or Calluses So They
Lift OFF With Fingers.

Ouch This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you.

New Hope, Sept. 18.-Since our last

days instead of the September gale

going to have some fine autumn
weather, which everything is indicat-

leaves turning.
Cotton picking and fodder pulling is
the order of the day now.
Our regular services were held at
New Hope Sunday afternoon.
On October 18th is work day for
the Orphanage, and it is hoped that
everybody will give their days work
that day to aid them, which we know
they need our gifts very much.
We were sorry to read of the death
of DR.. w. P. Jacobs, the founder of
Thornwell Orphanage. His life seems
to have been devoted to his work, and
we know his good influence will live.
/ think it is the duty of everyone to
aid in every way to help the work of
the Orphanage. We are hoping that
there will be more given this year.
