HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Stork Visits Home. Miss Lyon
TO Teach Sweetwater School.
Splendid Fall
Gardens.

The Stork visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Bunch's home Oct. end, and
brought darling little girl as a
birthday gift for her eldest sister,
Mary, as her birthday was Oct. 8.
She is so delighted with her that l
am afraid she will hurt Ruth Lam
ham" loving her SO. All four of
the children think Ruth is the
sweetest baby that ever was, and
worry her holding her tiny hands.
Little . year old Paul Herbert
says II need to hold little Ruth in
my lap, MAJ AS small as they
think she is. she weighs s lbs. and
is so fat and pretty.
Mrs. S. V. Bunch is not feeling
at all we'll, has quite bad cold to
add to all her other bad feelings.
Mrs. w. H. Briggs has been
confined to her bed weeks with
malaria, and is still quite sick.
We hope she will soon be up again.
Mrs. Ernest Ingrams has been
quite sick with fever, Hope she
will soon conquer it.
Mrs. Fouche opened school Mon
day and has 10 pupils. We hear
Miss Matte Lyon will teach the
Sweetwater school this winter.
We visited Mrs. D. B. Thurmond
Sunday, and after finding her gone,
went to Miss Genie Hammond's and
saw them both. Miss Genie is al
ways at home, and always jolly.
Mr.. Harry Bunch carried Mr..
aud Mrs. S. J. Corley, Mrs. Bill
Adams and little son to Harlem,
Ga, Sunday to visit Mr.. Corley's
daughter, Ida. Mr.. Harry Bunch
saws the soldiers are out riding, all
the way up to Harlem. They GER
tainly swarm in Augusta every day,
but Saturdays especially. The
women there have gone daft over
them, and may be to their regret
some day.
We hear that Mr.. Frank Townes
is anticipating attending the fair in
Atlanta. He is the only one from
this section we have heard of 60
ing. We also hear he expects to
exhibit some fine hogs at the fair in
Augusta. Quite progressive young
man.
Mr.. Henry Hammond has splen-
did fall garden which is bringing
him in rich reward for his labors
just now. Tomatoes, snap beans,
butter beans, and turnips, and they
are all bringing fancy prices just at
this season. He and Miss Genie
Hammond have fine crops. They had
good seasons Of rain, which made
things yield so well. Then too they
are string people, and after all
that counts, as we'll as the seasons.

FOOD CONSERVATION
Campaign to be Waged. Cap.
tains Appointed For Every
Community. Pledge
Cards Signed.

If the great European war is to
won by the Allies, they must be
supplied with food from America.
Under normal conditions our allies
in Europe are compelled to import
large quantities of food annually.
Owing to the ravages of war, their
supply from their own soil is far
less than normal. 1t is therefore all
the more necessary that we supple
ment their meagre supply from our
store houses and granaries. In
order to feed our constantly increas-
ing population and ship abroad what
is actually needed, there must be
curtailment of waste and consump-
ton here at home of the products
that can be easiest shipped to
Europe.
To the end that there be concerted
action in conserving food, a cam
paign is being waged all over the
country under government direction.
This State is being thoroughly
organized for this patriotic work,
and Ejgefeld county must have its
part. Pledge cards will be carried
to the door of every home during
the week of October 2l-28. In
order that the work may be properly
organized and systematically prose-
cuted, County Chairman N. G.
Evans has appointed the following
community captains who will ap-
point their co-workers for their
respective communities and report
to him at once. The time is short
and active steps should be taken at
once. The captains or community
leaders are:
Anitoch-C. G. Jones.
Red Hill. E. Quarles.
Cleora-F. A. Williams.
Pleasant Lane-F. L. Thinner
man.
Meeting Street. ID. Cogburn.

culosis Association will conduct the

ALL.
We want to sell one million seals

Nothing From Washington Yet,

No statement has yet been received
from Washington concerning the
holding of an examination under the
Civil Service rules for filling vacancy
in the Edgefeld postofice caused by
the death of M. J. P. QUITS. 1t is
probable that there will be dozer
applicants. The place pays some
thing like $1,000 annually and is
lifetime job.

The service at Red Oak Grove

the examination and does not expect
to begin such practice now. This
is an excellent chance for two
young, bright, ambitious boys to
enter Annapolis and thus secure q.
commission in the navy.
The Senator often expresses re-
gret that more of the States young
people do not take the civil service
examination. Practically all gov
ernment jobs, in Washington and
throughout the country, are under
civil service rules, and many of
them pay handsomely. Many of
our graduates from the various col
leges are equipped to take these ex-
aminations, yet very few do so.
Those interested in the matter
should write the Civil Service Com
mission for a manual of instruc:
