THE SOME CIRCLE 3PLEASAXT EVENING SERVICES v FOR OLD AND YOUNG. ^Dedicated to the Mothers Of the County U;pon Which Its Entire Welfare Impends. If you thSnk a house should have only one bead, and that be yours, postpone Jrour wedding indefinitely. There Is an old saying to the ef fect that an untidy mother has dis obedient children, and, while neither parents or children may realize the why or wherefore of it, yet there is -always a lack of respect and an in* ?iifierence to the authority of a mother who takes no pride in her personal appearance. The meanest men in the world are 'those who have allowed themselves to drift away from their mothers and forget all about them. The beat and bravest men in the world are those who havd never been so proud as when doing something pleasant for the kind old mother. Who does not feel more cheerful and contented for receiving a polite bow, a genial "good morning," a hearty shake of the hand? Who does not make himself the happier by these little expressions of fellow feeling and good will? Silence and a stiff, unbending reserve are especial ly selfish and essentially vulgar. There la a certair. species of rep tile found in all parts of the known world; its home is not so much in the jungles and wildreness, as one might suppose. This seprent fre quents the haunts of men, showing by this that it is of a sociable char acter; cities, villages, and the sparsely populated neighborhood, each and all claim its attention. The name of this serpent is slander. We hope it has no abiding place in the home of my of our readers. The Home Circle department is the best antidote yet discovered for this vile xeptile, and seldom foils to drive It from the home by its weekly visits. The woman whose life-book has love written on every page; who mgkes a home for a man, a home in a house and in a heart, a home that he Is sure of, a homo that is fuli of; love presided over by one "whose price is above rubies. She !}s the model wife. Parents make their great mis takes in their training of children, by not recognizing their individual ity. Each child has peculiarities in mind, temperament, disposition and character which makes it an in dividual problem. Mothers in la menting the failure of home discip line sometimes say, "I am sure I cannot understand it; I have always triea to do my duty by them, and have always treated my children ex actly alike." Therein lies the very secret of her failure; she has not realied their individuality; she has made the mistake of using the same formula for different, problems; she has sought to move distinctly differ ent locks by the same key. The same sun melts wax and hardens clay. Of all the evls prevailing among young men we know of none more blighting in its moral effects than the tendency to speak slightingly of the virtue of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low estimate they form of the integrity of women?not of their own moth ers and sisters, *i;hank God, but of others, who, they forget, are some body else's mothers and sisters. There is .no question that a child can seriously and fairly ask that cannot be as seriously and fairly answered. To tell a child or to lead it to infer that It is "too little" to know anything more on any subject about which it already knows enough to frame a question, is to deny its capacity for further growth. It is to thrust the child's mind into a dungeon, instead of opening it to the light. We do know why any one should object to a wife calling her husband by his first, name when among friends, but is is seldom regarded as good form to do so excepting in the presence of relatives. No one, however, can object to Mr. Smith or Mr. White. And don't say 'Smith' for "Mr. Smith." If you want to call your husband "Darling" or "Love," pray do so as often as you like, but always in the privacy and seclusion of your own homes. The people who "Love" and "Dove" and "Darling" eachvother in company are often the very ones who call each other by strangely difierent names when at home. Success is never obtained in a country like this without effort, df you fail once, try again. If you fall down, get up. If it is dark, strike a light. If you are in the shade move around; if there is shade on one side there is sure to be sunshine on the other. It takes longer to skin an elephant than a mouse, but then the skin is worth something. Nev er be content with doing what an other has done?excel him. Don't wait till some one is gone from you to tell their virtues. Don'1, wait until your sister is far away in another land to tell how helpful, how pretty or how courteous she is; and don't wait until the weary hands aro crossed and the long sleep comes before you make mother know what a beautiful blue are her eyes, how tender her heart, and how dearly you love her. Tell It all now?now, when the walk through life is hard, and the sunshine of ORANGEBURG COUNTY FAIR. Everything in Readiness?Big Prem ium List and Fine Shows. A visit to the Orangeburg County Fair Grounds shows that wonderful progress? has been made in getting everything ready for the Big Fair. The big main exhibition building 15? by 75 is well under way.

Dots From Magnolia. As I have not seen a word from Magnolia since the Bazaar I will tell you something as it turned out so r.icely. We had quit" a large crowd and I can say more than that it was the best behaved crowd I have seen in a long time. Was enjoyed by all little folks as well as grown ones. The refieshments were fine and plen tiful. The sale did well, had a lot of beautiful as well as useful things to sell prepared by the ladies. Then we had one of the best men in the county to sell them. I will give you his name if you v on't tell him, it was Thomas Bolin of Neeses that lib tie feilow, who doesn't weign but 250 pounds gross. He just made those boys pay the price for things, but failed to sell the nicest thing in the lot. Now I want some of the readers of this paper to make a bid on it through this paper. It is a log cabin quilt, made of silk and velvet lined with nice quality sateen pre pared by one of the members of Pleasant Hill Church for whioh they are raising money to repair and paint. Have had some offers but not enough, would be glad for anyone to give a nice price for it. iSchool commenced at Magnolia last week with Miss Funchus ab teacher had quite a small turnout as the children have to help gather cotton, it seems ;tat there is no help to be had in this settlement, but the caterpilers are playing hav oc with the young cotton, eating; all the leaves and the tender bolls so that it cuts off a good deal of cotton that the children would have to pick. People are getting on slowly picking with all the ihelp they can get. iMrs. Ken Fullniore is improving at last, after a long spell of Typhoid fever. We have had several cases in our settlement, mostly negroes, but all are improving. Citizen. Postmaster "Webster Complimented. In speaking oi Postmaster Web ster of this city at the meeting of the South Carolina Association of Postmasters "The Postmaster Every where" says: "Postmaster A. D. Web ster, of Orangeburg spoke on the General Delivery. He suggested ex cellent thoughts, and made an able address. During his address he dis played some pag^s from a loose leaf scheme book, for letter carrier deliv ?ry, of his own get up, wnicii show ed his practical knowledge of this part of the wo. k, and some very flattering comments were made on same by those specially interested in this department." ? m o Death of Mrs. Julia Kibler. The Newberry Herald and News says: "Mrs. Julia Barro Kibler, re lict of D. W. T. Kibler, died on Fri day afternoon, at the residence of her son-im-law, Dr. J. A. Simpson, at Prosperity, at the age of 79 years after an illness of two or three weeks with heart disease, ten years' after the death of her husband:" Mrs. Kibler was the mother of Mrs. U. F. Bryant, of this city. They Had a Damp Time. Tuesday was circus day and it was also drizzily, ?irazily day. Showers fell off and on all day, and the grounds, and the tent, and in fact everything connected with tre circus and the people who attended the show, had a pretty damp time. praii-e is yearned for to brighten it, and to warm and encourage the pil grim by the wayside. Let the sunshine into the gloomy rooms, have a conch to lie on, a piano to play on; in fact, a home to live in; one wherein a sense of hospitality and good cheer exudes from the very tables and chairs, in stead of a mausoleum of gloomy elegance, wht rein everything is for showtand nothing to be used.

Tuesday, Oct. 31?Frederick the Great. "The Millionaire Kid." "The Millionairo Kid" a musical drama of the latest creation is to be tb?Offering at the Academy of Music Oh Saturday might, Oct.. 21. The story of the play la said to be of in tense; Interest and told in r Virgil manner that lb topical in the trem*. Thfe music is of the real ln^ fectloUs kind which refuses to de part. The scenery is Baid to be real ly wonderful and la the production there are many novelties. Coney Is land at night ia a most convincing and realistic picture of this worlds famous resort.

Among tre musical numbers that are des tined to become popular are: "Con ey Island on Saturday Night," "The Fortune Song," "The Millionoire Kid," "The Kellerman Girls,", "Whistling," "Under the Mexican Moon." "The Girl and The Tramp." "The Girl and The Tramp," a four act comedy will be seen at the Acad emy of Music one night, Wednesday, Oct. 25.

She meets the tramp after he has been an aggressor against her bene factors. The two strive for a long time to undo the work of a plotViing man who has separated husband and wife. "The Girl and The Tramp" are active workers in developing the knot and consequently are the chief fun makers ?.s they are continually found in the midst of comical situ ations and speak many clever lines. -? ? 4 Julia Academy Locals. Not long since, there was a pic nic given at Uncle Paul Livingstons, in honor of his little granddaught er- from Florida. The little children had dinner in the yard, under the big trees. For amusement they made color ed paper wind wheels, went to the branch and went in wading1,, then we had a little "donkey party," Miss Marie Schoenberg winning the first prize, and Mr. Ewart Living ston the "booby" prize. Aunt Rachel kept the ladies busy quilting, all enjoyed it immensely. Our community was saddened on last Monday afternoon Oct. 2, 1911 by the death of our honored citizen Mr. Drue Sawyer. The Orangebur.g Baptist Associa tion held a very pleasant session at Salem Church Wednesday and Thursday near here. The communi ty at large feels that it has been greatly benefited by the talks of some of its most distinguished readers. A most bountiful dinner was served both days. Our last festival was quite a suc cess. The programe was good and well rendered, the amount raised makes us have enough for the next payment on the piano, and a sur plus. The "Mother Morgan" quilt that I wrote you about before, created quite a lot of interest, it alone brought about ten dollars. It was won by Ralph Fowler, a little or phan boy in the home of Mr. John Fannin. of this neighborhood. A.w other amusement of the afternoon was a cup and saucer, given to the Association by Mrs. E. A. Toale, tickets numbered from one to fif teen, were placed in the cup, what ever number you drew you were to pay that amount, Addie Agnes Schoenberg was the successful win ner. The school will o,jfen on Oct. 23rd, 1911. We will have the same teacher we had last year, Miss Mar tha McCleave of McConnelsville. A pupil. How Can Pcopie Know. The Wilmington Star says: "Peo ple ought to buy from home mer chants, but if home merchants do not advertise, how are they to know merchants wish their trade? Hew are they to know that there are any home merchants at all? How are they to know what home merchants sells, anyrow? How are they to find where a home merchant does bus iness? How are they to know wheth er a home merchant sells the kind of grindstones that grind? How are they to know but what the home merchant would rather be idle than advertise and get trade? When to Look for Frost. The average date for the fist kill ing frost of the fall in this vicinity is about November S. That is the record of the weather bureau at Columbia. A record for twenty-five years shows that the earliest date at which a killing frost was observed in Hhis section was October 19, 1S9G, and during this samo period, the [ear in which the frost waited long est to come was 1902, when it was the 2?sth of November before the deadly crystals appeared on the fields in this vicinity.
