Know.
Carolyn Nays heart was filled Will
trouble.
This was the result OF her first talk
with the old sailor. Not from him, nor
from anybody else. did Carolyn May
get any direct information that the
sailor had been aboard the Dunraven
on her fatal voyage. But his story
awoke In the child's breast doubts and
longings, uncertainties and desires that
had lain dormant for many weeks.
Uncle Joe and Aunty Rose loved her
and were kind to her. But that feel
fng of emptiness" that had at first so
troubled Carolyn May was returning.
She began TO droop. Keen-eyed
Aunty Rose discovered this physical
change very quickly.
"She's Just like q droopy chicken"
declared the good woman. "and, good.
ness knows. have seen enough Of
them"

of "dro0piness," Aunty Rose prescribed

Three times q day Carolyn May was
6oeed with boneset tea. How long the
child's stomach would have endured
under this treatment will never be
known. Carolyn May got no better,
shat was sure; but one day something
happened.
Winter had moved on in its usual
frosty and snowy way. Carolyn May
had kept up all her interests-after q
fashion.
BENJAMIN Hardy had gone to Adams
nmp TO work. II seemed he could use

|ang done something besides sailing In
his day. Tim. the hackman. worked at
aogging In the winter months, too. He
usually went past the Stagg place with
p team four times each day.
There was something Carolyn May
wished to ask Benjamin Hardy. but
lshe did not want anybody else to know
what It was-uot even Uncle Joe or
|Aunty Rose. Once In the fall and be-
,0nfo the snow came she had ridden as
nm N Adams camp with Mr.. Parlow.
He had gone there for some hickory

But. now. to ride on the empty sled

ohe mentioned her desire to Uncle Joe
eu . Friday evening.
We'll, now. II it's pleasant, I don't
ess anything to forbid. Do you, Aunty
Roser Mr.. Stagg returned.
Il presume Tim will take the best of
eare OF her." the woman said. "Maybe,
getting out more In the air will make
ner look less peaked. Joseph Stagg."
The excitement of preparing TO go
20 the camp the next morning brought
tlie roses into Carolyn Mays cheeks
and made her eyes sparkle. When
Tim. the hackman, went into town
with his first load he was forewarned
by Aunty Rose that he would have
company going back.
"Pitcher OF George Washington I" ex-
daimed Tim. '.The boys will near bout

There was but one woman in the
camp, Judy Mason. She lived In one
= the log huts with her husband. He
was a sawyer. and Judy did the mems

Newsy Letter From A Good Town
and Community.

A real good rain Tuesday Just
before day. Some things will be
helped by the moisture, while
some things did not need it just
now.
The Baptist protracted meet
ing closed last Friday. About Is
people joined the church; about
ten Of these will be baptized at
the night service Of the first Sum
day in September. Two of the
new members are little boys UNI
der 10 years of age.
At the night service in the
BapBaptist church last Sunday,
the church unanimously adopted
q resolution Of opposition or dis
approval of the policy of the War
Department in removing camp
pastors from the military camps
and substituting regular army
chaplains in their places. Other
denominations in this country are
registering their disapproval al
so.
This writer contends that as
long as our soldiers remain in
the camps in this country it were
better for their religious welfare
that 4heir home pastors of their
respective churches should serve
them. They will then be better
fortified, while in the fighting
field, spiritually and morally to
stand the GOODNESS of service and
religious Indifference of the army
chaplains who serve merely for
pay. Of course, there are few
exceptions as to real spiritual
minded and faithful working
chaplains.
President Wilson wants all the
boys in the land to take hand in
helping to win the war by doing
what they can to raise food and
feed stuff.
The heads of the colleges and
high schools of the state and the
preachers, too-are in a cam
paign to urge boys and young
men not otherwise employed to
attend school the current session.
With food raising and school at
tending, our boys at home will be
working" while our boys "over
there" and in camps, will be
fighting or preparing to fight.
All kept busy and it is a fine
thing too, sto the grand re-
suits. What do our idle youths
say to this?
Fitzhugh Whitfield, son Of
this writer, born in Rankin
county, and lately of Jackson, is
now in Washington as ticket a.
gent in the great railway station
in that city. He says that the
station is one Of the most import
ant in the world, if not the most
important. The station and ter
minal yards cost $4,000, 900.
There are 20 ticket windows, and
employ about 20 or more men in
the ticket Office altogether, hand
ling thousands Of dollars daily.
Some times sales run up as high
as $4,000 to 100000 day. The
job of ctiket agent there is
nerve-racking.

Mother Deer's real name was Mrs. Doe, for that Is the name given to all the mothers in the Deer family. But Instead of being called Mrs. Doe she was usually just called Mother Deer.
 Now the daddies in the Deer family are good to their children. They don't hurt them as many daddies will hurt their children in the animal world But naturally the one who loves them best Is the mother deer, and this special Mother Deer I am going to tell you about loved her children above all else in the world
 No one could touch them right after they were born until Mother Deer had them nicely cleaned and smoothed She had heard of mother deers who would not own their children if some other member of the family, or some other person touched them and cleaned them before he had cleaned them her self.
 It was all right for them to be fon- dled afterwards and Mother Deer was not jealous, but she was like all the mother deerS she had heard of, she wanted to be the first to look after every child of her own that came into the world.
 She understood so perfectly what she had heard of other mother deers, for she knew she was just like them.

Good Reason Why Young Man Did Not Desire House as Gift From His
 Eather-in-LaW.

John D. Rockefeller. Jr., at the Y. NJ. c. A. camp in New Jersey, where he has been doing volunteer war work, told story about a mean young man.
 '"This mean young man." he said, married a girl of wealthy percentage, and the young couple began their we'd ded life in q house belonging to the brides father.
 Not long ago, while we were dis Cussing market conditions together, l asked the young man if it was true that his father-in-law had made him a present of the house he lived in.
 "'It's very generous thing, if so? added.
 "'Well it ain't so,' said the young man. That is, it ain't exactly so. He offered me the house, but 1 wouldn't accept it.
 "'Why not? said I.
 He winked sOlemnIy.
 "'The hdtlSe is sure to be willed to me when my father-in-law dies he said, and meanwhile I'm living in it rent free, while the old man pays the taXes.'"
