! BROOKLAND
J
( 1 On a visit Saturday we were more
I v
.than pleased to find the people of the
j growing town of Brookland in a joj
viafand happy mood, more so than for
! some Pa?t. The Columbia mill
j help; constituting- the main eiti/enship,
are now well pleased with the
j situation, and the outiock for the
i future is bright. The mill is mak|
ing full time day and night and the
i employees receiving advanced wages,
| paid cash every Saturday enabling
| them to pay cash for what they need.
I The merchants are all in fine spirits
with live and prosperous business.
They are all clever and accommodating
gentlemen, knowing how to
treat their customers. The Bank of
Brookland is also enjoying the prosperity
of its people, who have implicit
confidence in its management, making
liberal deposits regularly, many
of them on savings accounts. They
are not only industrious people, but
patriotic, having purchased through
the bank Liberty Bonds to the tune
of $1,000 and more. Mr. Trotti, ;
president of the bank and Mr. Carroll
Ly'orand the cashier, are both
hightoned christian men and stand
high in the banking world.
Brookland has one ;of the best
cently erected at a large outlay of
cently eretce at a large outlay of
money; and managed by a strong
and able faculty, Prof. J. Ed. Shealy,
of White Rock, being the superintendent.

Mrs. Margaret Emma Meetze, relict
of the late William Henry Meetze

Mrs. Meetze was a noble christian
woman, a true and devoted mother
and her death is mourned by a large
circle of friends and relatives in Lexington
where she lived until the
death of her husband several years
ago. The only surviving members
of Mrs. Meetze's are Miss May Meetze
of Columbia and a brother Harvey

The closing exercises of Pond
Branch school were held on May 31.
The exercises were well rendered,
which was a credit to the teacher and

The house was packed to its utmost
capacity; and we are glad to
know that the teacher has been reelected

THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW.
They sing about the glories
Of the man behind the gun,
And the books are full of stories
Of the wonders he has done.
There's something sort o' thrilling,
In the flag that's waving high,
And i tmakes you tart to holler
When the boys go marching by.
But when the shoutin's o'er
And the ngntm s done, somenow
We find we're still depending
On the man behind the plow.
In all the pomp and splendor
Of an army on parade,
And through the awful darkness
That the smoke of battle's make,
In the halls where jewels glitter
And shouting men debate,
In places where the rulers
Deal out their honors great;
There is not a single person
Who'd be doing business now,
Or have medals, if it wasn't for
The man behind the plow.
We're building mighty cities
And we're gaining lofty heights,
We're winning lots of glory
And we're setting things to rights.
We're showing all creation
How the world's affairs should run,
future men may gaze In wonder
At the things that we have done* 4
And they'll over look the feller, 1
Just the same as they do now;
Who's the whole concern's foundation?
That's the man behind the plow.
