and friends. However, all of us can
give our brightest smiles at Christ
mas time, and we would offer the
suggestion that all begin to practice
smiling now in order to get them per-
fectly cheering by the time our
Savior's birthday anniversary comes
round again. We can always speak a
pleasant word of good cheer to those
we meet, and thus we will help to
drive dull care away and maybe bring
peace to troubled soul.

We were glad to have Brother Bell
with us at Tabernacle last Sunday.
Brother Bell is one of the merchants
of Ethelville, and he came along to
show our new minister the way to
Tabernacle.
Mr.. c. C. Stokes has moved into
the place vacated by Mr.. Eugene
Keaton. Mr.. Stokes comes to us well
recommended as good citizen and
prosperous farmer. We bid him
welcome.
We have noticed that considerable
road work is being done in the Tusca-
loosa Road District. Quite a lot of
gravel is being hauled along the road.
We are trying to keep up our high
ways. A plan has been started to
make the Tuscaloosa Road National
Highway, to connect with the Jack
SON Highway at Columbus, and also
connect with National Highway in
Alabama. The good citizens over in
Pickens county, Ala, have been at
work for some time on this project,
and desire Lowndes county to CO.
operate with them, and it is hoped
that the Chamber of Commerce will
take an interest in the matter and
secure funds to aid the project. This
road is the oldest road in this part
of the county. At first it was only
an Indian trail that the red men fol-
lowed down McBee creek, and then on
the Tombigbee near where the city of
Columbus now stands in majestic
beauty. Later on it was made a stage
coach line, and the round trip from
Columbus (l2O miles) was made in a
day. just who cut this road we have
never been able to learn. One Of the
old stage coach stands was near where
we now live. When the driver of the
stage would come within about a mile
Of the stand he would blow his hoitl
and fresh lot of horses would be
ready to change when he reached the
station. Only few minutes were
used IN making the change Of horses.

from Nehemiah. We heartily agree
with our new minister, as we know
Of no better way to develop Christian
manhood and Christian womanhood
than by constant work, for "An idle
brain is the devils workshop" The
congregation was small, because Of
bad weather, but we feel sure the
people of the community would have
attended the services if they had
known what splendid message
Brother Bonner had in store for them.

come, you help to build back the
broken wall. Which will you do?
We have lately noticed in this sec
tion quite number of new flower
pits and houses, some new lumber,
cement, etc. The best and most sub
stantial was that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Henry, whose flower house
was built of cement. We were i'm
pressed with it's convenience and it's
wonderful construction, which spoke
so well of the skill of its builder, Mr..
w. d. Russell. We love pretty flow
ers, and it does us good to see our
neighbors taking so much pains with
their flowers. Pretty flowers, nice
homes, good roads and good schools
and good churches are made only by
good people.
The Rural Hill School House looks
very handsome now with its nice new
coat Of paint. Mr.. Nuffer, the paint
or, says it is one of the nicest-looking
school buildings in the county, and he
knows whereof he speaks.
The box supper at the school house
on Thursday night was very sue
cessful affair and yielded a nice sum
Of money to its promoters.
We are informed that play will be
given at Rural Hill on Christmas by
the teachers and pupils. We have
not as yet learned the title of the
play. We have also been informed
that there will be Christmas tree
given by the pupils and patrons of the
McBee School, either at the I. o. o. F

I rather fancy that all women
would agree to leave properly married
men to the sympathy and understand

world would be a more decent place
to live in. Women when they be-
come rivals, are the worst enemies of
the home.
Honor between women-is there
such a thing?" l asked myself. And
I thought that the cheapest women in
the world are not the poor, rouged
creatures who dress only with an eye
to attract men. These girls are at
least honest-they do not attempt to
conceal their intention.
The cheapest women in the world
are the smugly respectable women
who infest every plane of social and
life and slyly flch the interest of
other women's husbands. They de-

Lavisne Steadily Went Down After Fight With Erne

The announcement that George c'kid'D Lavinge former lightweight champion. had been committed to an asylum for thes insane. recalls that tattler's remarkable ring career, and more particularly brings to mind his general appearance and ability at the 'lme he first came into prominence.
 Lavinge claimed the lightweight -itie in 1894 when McAuHff retired uneefeated "The Saginaw Kid" as he was called. was a wonderful specimen of the fighting man. He seemed to have springs in his heels. and he was so sturdy that the stiffest puncnes seemed to have absolutely no effect on him
 It did not take long for the f,stic fans to recognize in Lavinge a real champion. Unfortunately, however, the Kid" was unable to resist the attention of his many admirers. and Tn short time he began to neglect his physical condition. He grew fat. with a paunch at his walstline that waistline that seemed to be immune from the most strenuous training stunts.
 When Frank Erne the Buffalo bov challenged Lavinge to a battle for the championship, Lavinge was far f-om the athlete he was when he clalmed McAuliff's crown. They met in 1899 and Lavinge fans were indeed disap pointed when The Saginaw Kid" was unab'e to lay a glove on the shifty Buffalo boy. who got the verdict bv outpointing the Michigander with the betty wallop
 Ernes victory worried Lavinge when he was alone It was the one battle that semed to haunt i'm. He had re- ceived proof positive that his friends were right in advi1fng him against injurious habits and after seiges of mediation he would attempt to drown his troubles with the tra-la liouids imbibed as member of hilarious oar- ties. It marked his start down the toboggan

Oglethorpe Univer- sity of Atlanta will send a nine over for a couple of contests Monday and Tuesday. The week will close with a. return engagement with the crack or ganization from Louisiana State Uni- versty Friday and Saturday,
 During the road trip five games were played. Four of the contests were Ala bama victories, while one game was dropped to Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College at Starkville. As the schedule with the Maroons was split the series went to the visiting team Hence Alabama is still in the race for the southern championship, a title that has gone to the thin red line for the past three years Ala bama defeated Howard College in a couple of games and the Baptists de- feated the Starkville team in couple of games.
 Mississippi A. & M. took the first game by score of to l. while the second engagement went to Coach Lewis nine by count of to g. A game with Mississippi College at Clin- ton resulted in to victory for Alabama.

The best showing in the younger league was made by St. Louis. which won four of its five games. Detroit, still unable to hit effectively. today lost it's thirteenth straight contest since the season started.
 The record breaking twenty-six in ming Il tie between Cadore of the Brooklyn Nationals and Oescher of Bos- ton was the outstandiung feature of the week. The pair engaged in an eleven inning pitchers duel in Brooklyn two weeks ago, which was won by the Su- perbas, 1 to O. Brooklyn continued it's extra innings habit today, losing a thirteen-inning game to Philadelphia.
 GOOD PITCHING
 Cincinnatis success last week was due to Ring and Reuther, each winning twice. Brooklyn batted lightly and broke even on it's games. Mitchell of the Superbas blanked New York in the rubber game of their series. Philadel- phias improved playing and batting advanced the Quakers to tie with Brooklyn for second place.
 St. Louis and Pittsburg encountered strong pitching in most of their games.
 In the American League, Williams of Chicago gave two excellent pitching eX- h; bitions, holding Detroit to three hits and one run in ten innings and Cleve- land to two hits and one run
 Boston lost twice by shut-outs at the hands of Johnson of Washington, and Shawkey of New York. Darkness end ed a fourteen-inning struggle between Boston and Philadelphia Wednesday.
 Coveleskie who has won five sra+ fo afnf, T ,,d was the first pitcher to stop Chicago. Previous to Saturdays contest, St. Louis p.tchers were in splendid form, yielding two runs in four games. Ruth, New Yorks premier long distance slugger, who resumed his place in the outfield, made his first home run Saturday and another today. Philadelphia made many hits and runs but fielded poorly.
