Aiken's Splendid Talent.

Monday night in the Opera House
THE Microbe of Love" which has
been for so many days the burden
of our song in Edgefeld was pre-.
sented by the "Village Players" of
Aiken. 1t was splendid in every
detail, and gave pleasure to a large
audience.
The large number of handsome
cars which arrived in town about 6
o'clock with about 40 occupants
created quite sensation, thus aid
ing in the advertising.
Mrs. Tillman had very graciously
given her home as her headquarters,
and after spending a few moments
very pleasantly there, a lunch was
served them in the empty store ad-
joining L. T. May. The local w.
G. r. U. served them hot coffee and
ice cream.

very artistically decorated by Mrs.
Lovick Smith, as Chairman of the
Stage Committee, assisted by Mrs.
B. Timmons, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs.

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Good Congregation at Church.
Mrs. Bunch Improving. Ad-
dress on Boil Weevil Situ-
alton by Prof. Long.

We were very glad to hear that
Mrs. Frances Townes is some bet
ter. We hope now they have con-
quored the hemohagic fever, and
she may soon be we'll, and back
home. Now we said back home,
yet as much as we would love for
her to still be In the neighborhood,
we don't want her to try and live
over there in the corner" as long
az there is so much Malaria over
there. We rather hope she may
board someshere until all dangersis
gone from this section.
Isn't it terrible, so many have to
suffer so from that water, and so
many have lost their health and
lives?
We were glad to see Mrs. Sam
Corley up and on her way to Aug
usta Saturday. Hope she was not
having to go to doctor to be treat
ed.
We made a mistake last week in
saying Mr.. Hal Healing was DR..
Healing's youngest son. Mr.. Will
Healing is the youngest son. We
saw him Saturday, and ne is look
ing fine.
Mrs. Bunch is atill improving
slowly, and sits up little each day..
Miss Majorie McKie, has had a.
young lady visiting her from North
Augusta. We have not learned her
name, but must thank her in behalf
of the Hardy's church congrega-
tion for playing the organ for them
Sunday. There was a real good
crowd out for such a cold windy
day.
The w. NJ. S. will meet next
Thursday at Hardy's church and we
hope there will be large turnout.
Hope Mrs. Ellie Brigg will be well,
SO Mrs. T. J. Briggs, our president,
can attend the meeting so as to con-
duct it.
The Meriwether Agricultural
Club had a meeting on Saturday,
last, and had Prof. Long to address
them on the boil weevil problem.
He gave very interesting talk and
good advice, if 1t is followed. They
very generously invited the ladies
to this meeting, which was quite
treat, as they have not been allow
ing them until recently. But we
suppose they thought Prof. Long
would give the ladies some instruc-
tive dots, also, which he did.
There was one thing he said: The
farmers will have to learn to let the
darkies feed themselves. l thought
he ought have said also-and the
farmers do away with dogs, and
put that feed into hogs. That will
do them more good, and make less
cooking for the ladies to do. l am
sure the ladies would do away with
them if they could.

The Situation in Russia

What is the true state of affairs in Russia? That is the question which is keeping statesmen all over Europe as we'll as in our own country awake at night. There is very little news from the great land which has just thrown off the shackies of tyranny but in this case little news does not necessar- fly mean good news. The CzaF is out, we know that But will the present government be able to control the
 masses? The fight in Russia today Is between those who would have a
 government formed on our own lines and those who, mistaking liberty for license, want no restraint whatever
 or want everybody to have a voice in the government all at once. For that reason we hear of such things as soldiers deputies demanding this and that, and Workmens' deputies de- manding the opposite. In a word there is a chaos, which is not sur prising when one considers the speed with which the revolution was brought about. On the other hand there seems to be no definite plan. Things

A continuous supply of wholesome and nutritious food must be supplied for an army of a million, to be made 100000 pres ently, and perhaps 3,000,000 within little more than a year.

 bring the war to a victorious conclu- sion for humanity and democracy. With the beginning of the operation
