Two weeks ago we put a notice in
The Press and Banner saying that
we would try to help Frank McNeill
at. Rosenberg's store to get married.
We think perhaps he was a little dis
appointed that the girls didn't rush
the store for he had James Cox to
stand ready. to "knock 'em down.
as they came in. Any way he has
received a letter from Groom 1867,
Winthrop College. The young lady
states that she wears a 1914 shoe,
weighs 107 pounds and has very
soft hands. She didn't say whether
her hands were too soft to make up
corn bread or not. However he
seems very much pleased.
Now James Cox says he is going
to advertise too-for it pays.

SOMETIMES

If times are hard, and you feel blue,
Think of the others worrying, too;
Just because your trials are many,
Don't think the rest of US haven't
any.
Life is made up of smiles and tears,
JOYS and sorrows mixed with fears;
And though to US it seems one-sided
Trouble is pretty we'll divided.
If we could look in every heart,
We'd find that each one has it's part,
And those who travel fortunes road.
Sometimes carry the biggest load.
Ideal Power.
