From a comfort standpoint this
should prove most interesting. A
widow living alone has more space
than she can use so she closed IN
the rear porches which connect
with the bedroom and will rent

rooms are unfurnished, and quite
spacious. If a congenial couple
would be interested, the owner will
gladly extend to them the privi-
leges of her entire house. The in
terror of this house is beautifully
decorated and everything in apple

the House by Representative Virgil
Wilson, of Forsyth, is enacted into

His measure, which simply elimin-

Bible in taking oaths, has been re-

and will probably be quickly acted
upon by that group.
MOth-Eaten Ceremony.
The author and proponents of the
bill contend that it will do away with
a moth-eaten ceremonial which has
come to mean just exactly nothing at
all, as well as to eliminate a practice
which is positively dangerous from a
sanitary point of view.
Theys point out that is grave dan
ger of contracting all manner of con-
tagious diseases from the practice of
kissing books which, no matter how
sacred their inner content may be,
