A STORY OF A MAN
AND HIS WISHES

Once upon time there lived q
man and his wife in cabin on a
hill. He chopped wood and plowed
the ground
One day when he was out chop
ping wood he was about to chop
down a big tree. but a fairy jumped
out of the tree and begged him not
to cut it down, so he did not The
fairy said he could have two wishes
SO he asked for Il good meal and a
new ok. He got all his wishes and
did not thank the fairy for his
wishes.
One day he was going to p)Ow
little patch of ground but did not
get To because some elves lived
there and said if he would not pillow
it up he could have anything he
wanted. So ne asked for three bags
of gold, palace, servants. horses
and COWS. He got all these wishes,
but ne did not thank the elves.
One day these elves came to him
and asked for some food but did not
get it. So they took everything
from him and left him poor as be-
fore.
This is a lesson for people who
are greedy.-John Bull, College

WOOD THEATRE SUNDAY.

Edward Tomlinson, a Georgia boy
the youngest lecturer on the Lyceum
Platform, will speak Sunday after.
noon at three o'clock in the Greenwood
Theatre. Although young Mr.. Tom
linson has been lecturing for a num-
Der Of years. He has lectured to
large audiences in many of the cities,
to Y. M. G. A. mass meetings, school
and college audiences. Though he is
not a preacher he has spoken from
some of the great pulpits Of the South
and is booked for return dates on
some Of the largest lyceum courses
of the season.
He gets his lectures from every day
association with people, and his es-
pecial appeal is to young folks. He
knows the social, financial and spirit
ual problems Of the young man and
can bring happy, wholesome encour-
agement direct from the firing line.
He does not try to lecture az q learn
ed man of fifty, but as a young fellow
just learning. some Of the lessons Of
life.
However, Mr.. Tomlinson is enjoyed
by the old as well as the young for
he endeavors to make his lectures
different. Some times his hearers ex-
.perience considerable difficulty in be-
ing able to stop laughing quick enough
to shed tears, and it becomes neces-
sary to do both at the same time. Mr..
has a great message for
all and the Y. M. C. A.. feels that it
is extremely fortunate in securing
him for a talk to Greenwood Sunday.
Those who hear him will feel that
they hs.s been favored.

young and old is welcome. There will
n music by Miss Edith Cecil Rsanis,
IF whose ability and talent It Is un-
Necessary to speak, and by the Green
