one of the corporators of two hun
dred thousand dollar enterprise of

good, it matters not to what part Of
this old mundane sphere they go.
The acreage in small grain is not
as large as it should be. Many far

their usual quantity last fall by the
drought. Mr.. T. P. Morgan was in
Edgefeld Monday and told The Ad-
vertiser's representative that he ex-
poets to sow spring oats. He stated
that he has sown oats as late as the
middle of March and made good oats.
A number of farmers should follow
his example.
The Edgefeld good roads bill
which has now become law is meet
ing with general favor from the peo-
Pile. Mr.. w. Fl. Harling, cashier of the
Farmers Bank, says it is the best
piece of legislation of the kind he

of it as good piece of work that has
come at the psychological moment.
The people are anxious to have good
roads legislation. They want to get
out of the mud.
Mr. Israel Mukashy's stock reduc-
tion sale has been well patronized.
His bargains have attracted large
number of people. He announced this

his stock to make room for spring
goods. He is still giving one pound
of sugar free to every customer who
purchases goods to the amount of
$500. See what Mr.. Mukashy says
in his half page advertisement this

IS THIS YOUR TYPE?
LASTING BEAUTY.
By MARIE LaRooUE.
Copyright. 1920. Mcclure syndicsts.)

oliver Wendell Holmes it was who
defined beauty as the way young
girls look when there is nothing to
hinder their looking as Nature
meant them to-" And no one would
gainsay the fact that beauty is a
more usual attribute of youth than
of mature or middle age. However.
there is this that we must not over
look-that there Is a charm that
comes to some women with added
years that does not appear in early
life. and there is a type of woman
who retains her youthful beauty
many years and retains even in very
old age an unmistakable fascination.
Just when a charming or beauti-
full woman is at her best is a ques-
tion that has been much discussed
in all ages and all countries. You
will find that where society is more
highly developed and where
woman to be considered truly
charming must possess charm of
mind as we'll as mere physical beauty
this/high water mark of fascination
comes later in life than in simpler,
less complex societies where she
does not possess this intellectual
and spiritual development which ac-
tually seems to prolong her physi-
cal fascination.
Sometimes we think that 1t is only
within very recent years that the
woman past 80 has ever been re-
garded as the rival of the woman in
her early youth. But there were
women in ancient Greece and Rome
who were looked upon as most
charming at 80 or so. In France the
older woman has always come in
for more appreciation than in Eng
land or America, or we might say
that France set the example in re-
cent times in giving the woman of
80 her due.
Have you never met the woman
whose fierce beauty defies the on
slaught of age" asks Balzac. "and
who seems more to be desired at 80
than .some who have yet to see Is?
Their faces flash with the soul of
passion; every feature scintilating
with intelligence, each showing its
own peculiar beauty, but above all
its brightness. Their seducing eyes
attract, repel, speak. or compel ST.
lence. their walk is that of innocent
knowledge"
ana IN Inc IrlnCe OIL bOnem1ar
he says of Tullia: AT 81 she had
reached the prime of a French
woman's beauty"
The charming mature woman Is
not. however, found only in French
fiction. Mergaret of Navarro. sister
of King Francis I. who figures so
often in our own historical novels,
was regarded as far better looking
in middle age than in youth. The
Marquise de Montespan, mistress Of
Louis XIV, was said to Nave pre-
served almost all her beauty at the
age of 70. And Nine. Lebrun, the
celebrated portrait painter, tells US
of Nine. Dubarry that at As her
form was extremely beautiful, her
face still charming, her features
regular and pleasing"
The wondrously beautiful EN-
press Eugene was nearly 80 when
she won the heart of the Emperor
Napoleon III, and it was as woman
past 30 that she won the reputation
of being the most charming woman
Of her time.
