! anything wrong near where an Of
ficer is known to stay most of his
| time so get out around the cornors
and watch; you will find something
| to take hold of. So say be up and
| doing.
Our good and noble citizen "Nub"
| is taking his vacation and he looks
fine and is in the best of spirits. !
Miss Allen Ridgill of near Summer
ton returned from points in North
Carolina and says she had fine trip.
Our good friend Mr.. J. w. Goodwin
| has severed his connection with the
Road Building Co., between Summer
town and Manning, and is now back
| at his shop on main street.
Another law which some of the peo-
pie must read backward is the auto
speed limit an officer it seems to me
| could put few dollars to the towns
credit if the suburb streets were
watched, for think it would be inn
possible for thing with wings to
: get out the way Of some of these
autoes.
Officers, keep the town going. We
understand that both the cotton gin
neries at this place has ginned 1900
| bales of cotton this year against 1000
last year Some short, Ell?
| To the young people of our local
| ity, what did God say he made us for?
l would leave this question for you to
answer but | believe YOU would not
think Of it a It is. We are not to
dwell on this earth but short time,
and why not try and live up to Gods
commands. If we were made for
Gods glory, why not try, the short
time we are to stay on this earth as
| mortals, live up to what God would
have us be. If He made us in his
own image and for his glory why not
try and live up to his standard of
our life? Not go wild over the things
| of this world but live for something
better in the world to come. If any
one in or around this town doesn't
believe the Bible then | challenge he
or she to give the excuse for not be-
lieving it to be true. The way the
people of the country is going today,
believe is against the will of God
| Almighty, and He will not stand for
the. condition of this world a great
while longer. If He shows his hand
IN storm, earthquake or any other
way we are fortunately refuge.
Now you younger people, YOU feel
good God has given you this feeling,
and lie means for you to use it in
some way. Does He mean for YOU to
use this life for His glory or to use
1T for the destruction of your own
soul? No, He wants you to keep His
commands and live life that others
seeing your good works may be con-
strained to do likewise.

World War soldiers may be in want

should take care of them and moss of
all, those that were wounded Our
fathers and those that fought in the
Civil War got, l think. from $3.50
to $l44.00 per year. The lavish of
money on these soldiers Of today will
put them in such high life that the
Old Grmon pride may get such hold
on them that they will be above those
poor people who arc struggling to paw
the high taxes imposed upon them to
give this money to them, and again
