Those "Bouuhten Buttons" /"


Writing of the poet Whittier, Mrs.
James 7. Fields says that lone of the
poets most entertaining "reminiscences
of his boyhoOd was the story of his
first visit to Boston. William Greene's
mother was an Interesting woman of
strong, Independent character and
wide interests, wonted to the life of
cities, and one of the first, in spite of
his bOyish shyness to appreciate her
young relative. Her kind eagerness,
during one of her occasional visits to
the Whittiers, that Greenleaf should
come to see her when he came to Bos-
ton, fell In with his own dreams, and a
high desire to see the sights of the
great town.
"One can easily imagine how this
Imagination must have glorified the
natural expectations of country boy,
and when the time arrived, how the
whole household lent itself to further
ing so great an expedition. He was
not only to have a new suit Of clothes,
but they were, for the first time, to be
trimmed with 'boughten buttons to the
lads complete satisfaction, his mind
being fixed on those as marking the
difference between town and country
fashions"

Among other pleasant social funct-

last Friday at the home Of Mrs. Rach-
el Alternately where reside Mr.. and
Mrs. 0. s. Abernathy and Wisdom
Abernathy, dinner on the 35th an
niversary Of 0. S. Abernathy.
The spread was the best, with a
noble turkey as the centerpiece.
Rarely have we enjoyed with others
a more appetizing feast. Mrs. Minnie
Aoernathy has no superiors as a GU
linary artist, and to whom was due
chiefly a delightful repast.
Those present we're: Mr.. and Mrs.
W. K. Abernathy, Mr.. and Mrs. Terry

THE President has left En-.

visit Italy. On his return to
Paris the peace commission
will meet. tits thought that
all the important questions
have been agreed on by the
Allies. It is expected many
details will take a long time
to arrange. The Russian
affairs seem most difficult.
We believe they will finally
be adjusted regardless Of
present conditions.

Christmas Dinner.

As the guestt Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
Hamilton and family, Mr.. and Mrs. J
W. Purviance partook Of a most elab-

excel Mrs. Moselle Hamilton in the
preparation of repast that would
tempt the appetite Of any crouch.
Such feasts are a pleasure, and our

this Christmas and have right to be
thankful for the abundance of the

into the realm of the past.
The year 1919 is now in its
infancy, and the roseate hue
Of times cherub is ours to
view and look to as only a

ity is on the crucible of final

Each individual in the grand
army Of humanity fills a
place. Each can help or hin
Ger Che progress OF peace ana
prosperity. The great spirit
of the world longs for better
things. The reign of justice
and righteousness seems to
permeate humanity. This
great principle must be in
the hearts of the individual.
After such a baptism of car
mage and blood, we hope for
better things. That wisdom
and justice will characterize
the leaders Of the nations in
their deliberations for peace
and security is seemingly be-
ing realized. "God moves

cause he is plain, common-sense
man, representing a great people

diers are coming in on almost ev-

no soldiers ever were before, and
justly so. o......... There will be a job
for every man and woman if each
will find the hole he fits. Square
pins will not fit round holes and
visa versa. ....... There is many a
farm with one or two bales of cot
ton lying under a shed in the lot.
They are wise to hold a month or
two longer. We intend to
make this the banner year for
the Independent, and lwould like
for every family in the county to
read it. DRY goods merchants
have made big money during the
war, but now the war is over and
war prices must give way to the
peace figures......, In a couple of
years Selmer will have the big

ant than ever known before in
years. The world doesn't eat
them like cattle and hogs. The
rains Tuesday night and Wednes-
day made rivers out of the creeks

WE ARE pleased to an
nounce, with the opening Of
our new year, some more let
ters from New York, written
by our own correspondent,
Lindsay S. Perkins, whose
writings have given our read
ers pleasure in the past. We
have already received three
of-them, and can give assur-
ance that in general interest,
information and encouraging
views of the future of our
country, they surpass any
we have printed heretofore.
Mr.. Perkins promises to write
as often as he can, and it is
not too much to say that each
letter will be worth at least
the price of a years subscrip-
tion. So that it will be well
for you to subscribe now, so
as not to miss any of the
numbers, and send at least
one copy to a friend some
where, as well as keep a file
for yourself, for these letters
are Of permanent interest,
and are history. You can
: get them nowhere else, and
should not depend upon bor-
! rowing from your neighbor
to read them. Our old friend
Buck Snort. the Owl Creek
philosopher, has also favor
ed us with a song of his own
about Good Ole Hogkillin
Time" which will awaken
many a familiar memory.
