My dear Sir:

The material could hardly be bought
in the piece from trade sources now
at less than $40 to S12 the yard.
These blankets are not only excel
lent as blankets, but are useful and
decorative as couch covers or suits.
A number of Congressman have pro-
vided themselves with these blankets
as material for suits or overcoats.
The patterns are very dark, mostly
black, and some with self-fgure.
They are brand new goods.
Il want our people to benefit by this
opportunity as extensively as possi-
BILE, and am therefore sending to each
of the clerks of court in South Caro-
lima one of these blankets as sam
ple. will be obliged if you will show
it at your convenience to parties IN
terested and make the offer public to
such extent and in such fashion as
YOU may wish. Aan one desiring one
or more of these blankets should SEND
an order to Major W. B. Graham, z.

A Happy Man

In one of the farces dear to the
days of our childhood, quest was
made far and wide for a really hap
DIV man. He could not be located
among the wealthy or powerful or
any of the seeming favorites OF for
tune, and when he was finally run to
earth, he was found to be 4 jovial
member of the proletariat and the
possessor neitherof silver nor a
shirt.
In these troublous times OF dissat-
isfaction, turbulence and unrest, OF
inflated currency and eXhorbitant
taxes, of high prices and low morals,
one would imagine that search for a
happy man would be made in vain;
and yet, wonderful to relate, such a
one does actually emerge into view,
or at least half-view and from a most
unlikely quarter. The name of this
paragon is destined to remain unher-
aided, for in his present place OF
abode he is simply known by a num-
Der ard he further conceals his iden-
tity under the nom de gucrre OF
Moonlight Harry, wielder of the
jimmy" Initiating the immortal Mr..
Snagsby in not putting too fine a
point on it, let US say at once that
this claimant to perfect happiness is
Convict No. 7O763, and that his more
or less temporary habitat is Sing
Sing prison, in New York, where he
is serving a term of from five to ten
years.
In a recent number Of the Sing
Sing Bulletin, Moonlight Harry rhap-
sodizes gleefully on the topic, "The
Joy of a Garefree Life of a Man
in Prison" In "The Pirates Of Pen
zance," the sergeant tells US that
when the enterprising burglars not
a-burgling he feasts his eyes and
ears on gurgling books and other de-
lightful sights and sounds Of wood
land scenery, but he has nothing on
the wielder of the jimmy who is just
now incarcerated in Sing Sing. After
recounting the joys and sphendors OF
a restricted life, of utter freedom
from. earthly care, of responsibilities
reduced to a minimum, Moonlight
Harry, firmly in the belief that stone
walls do not a prison make nor iron
bars a cage, shudders at the thought
of freedom, and thus launches forth:
Say not to me that l must fore
go these inside pleasures and be
again compelled to pick up the
cudgel and strike with might and
main for a mere existence in a
world where selfishness reigns
supreme.
At all events the first Of the month
with its sheaf of bills has no terrors
for him, he is not afraid to look his
butcher. his baker, his grocer, his tai
lor or his landlord in the eye; he IS
immune from the wiles Of the book
agent or the advances Of peddler
of insurance; strikes do not worry
him nor problems vex. He is, if any
thing, too well off.
Yet does not freedom count Tor
something? Life with its many re-
sponsibilities and anxieties and cares
is sweetened by freedom and it is, at
ter all, but a poor PHILOSOPHY which
values as naught that crowning jewel
of mans earthly existence. Convict
No. 7O763 to the contrary notwith
standing, it may be laid down as ak
iomatic that where there is no free
dom there is no real happiness.

Many Elaborate Thanksgiving
 Dinners Planned in DiStSiet

The national bird is with us once again. Expensive, to be sure, but so permannet fixture in the program of the celebration of Thanksgiving Day that dollars and cents cannot cast an unfavorable light upon him. The bird is associated with our earl. fest memories. Before we left the high chair we had tested out the good flavor of the bone as we put the best efforts forward to get the most out of twith satisfaction if not artistry. And if a kind Providence will assure us hat the association will continue as long as we tarIy on this mundane sphere, we shall count, ourselves most fortunate.
 Thanksgiving Day should be the ainual review of the year. To count the many things for which we can be thankful gives a wholesomeness to the vision as we peer into the future. For health and wealth. be it meagre or fullsome, for the pursuit of happi- ness in whatever measure we have been able to overtake the elusive thing. we can be grateful. Last year with the signing of the armistice fresh in our minds, we were unusuary thankful for peace. Without so con spicuous reminder this year We can be at least thankful for some things.
 The day will De given over to pleas ure largely. The regular Thankssiv- ing services will be a feature of the program in one or two of the churches The Y. NJ. c, 4. has plan ned big home dinner for those who are away from their own homes. This excellent plan will mean much to many At the Elks Club dinner will be served to those members who are not fortunate enough to be with their families on this day. Dinner will be served at the country club and reser- vations are already being made. And the Copper Queen hotel will serve the usual excellent meal which rec ommends itself to a large number of guests. With goodly number of pri- vate dinner parties. in addition to the above mentioned, il is likely that the national bird will be well patrOnized in the Warren district.

BOgalusa's Visit.

The return visit of the Bogalusa
basket ball team proved disaster
Gus for them, since the score was
81 to IA in favor of Franklinton.
But determined in their efforts to
"give 'em everything but the
game" the home boys planned
to entertain their defeated friends
in genuine "sport spirit
The boys and girls glee clubs
issued invitations to an informal
banquet in honor of the visiting
Bogalusa boys. Friday evening
February 20, found the Domestic
Sciencs rooms filled with eighty
five guests enjoying the delicious
course served them. To add to
the merriment of the occasion
everybody drank toasts to vari-
Gus guests present and these
to4sts were clever and rich in hu.
NOR. Games, songs and various
"stunts" filled the rest of the
evening. The victory of the
afternoon left every body in a
notion to add his or her part to
the amusement of everybody else.
And even the defeated team en-
ter d into the fun with such a
friendly spirit that all seemed to
forget the recent eight. 1t
served to show the friendly rival
ry existing betweed the two
neighboring teams, which it is
hoped, may continue.
Among the guests were the
faculty, glee clubs, basket ball
teams and a number of basket
ball fans from town.

little boy two years and eight
months old. Brother j. D. as his

benefit of the Louisiana College
that his children would have a
chance Of the very best training
for christian service; his children
we're all small at the time, only
two being old enough to 60 to

she is either on her bed or just
up, not cross like most sick folks,
but always using every opportu'

Jesus and his love and what it
means to worship him.
The dear little one who has just
passed away was the constant
care of the home, his name was
j. D. Jr. They had come near
loosing him several times, he was
a sickly child, but unusual bright
never complaining. His mother
had taught him tossing Holy!
