MOSSY DALE. It is a very easy job for those living on the Rion road to sit back on their "Jewelaws" and advise Mos.. sy Dale and others to get out and work their roads when they have the Winnsboro Granite to. and the en ergetic , 'Jiblic spirited Heywood to keep up their roads, besides if we must ndt wait for our commissioner to act what use have we for a com missioner, and if we have to go down inorjeans to have our roads work edwypay a road tax. I think I knwtevoice of him who would make you believe great things, al though it is in ink. There is no other like unto him in the use of "big I and little u." This same Rion reporter was once seen to step behind a tree to look at his watch for fear some one would ask him for the time of day. That kind of a man is not go ing to work on the public roads un less he sees where his pay is coming from. The Bethel correspondent notes that Mossy Dale and two gentlemen halted at his place the other day, but was afraid to get out. *Did you catch that ? He doesn't say Mossy Dale and two other gentlemen. Now, why were we afraid to get out ? One reason is because we have a reputation to keep up and another is because of the fact that where two or three Methodists are gathered together there shall be a collection taken and there being three of us no sooner than we hit the iground he would have passed the hat. Mrs. Smith had a fine cow to choke on a pear the other day. A handle was used to push the pear down, and as the handle was being pulled back about twelve inches of it was broken off and swallowed by the cow. Will some of- these Sein Fein Cathcarts tell us whether t e cow will live or die ? If we knew that she wouh die George Perry could prob ably sel! her to some one who has not heard of the accident. R. J. Stewart brought bar~k some bad news from town last Saturday. He says that the boss told him that everything had to be paid in full by the first of October. Now, such news as that, coupled with the boll weevil dry weather and the Beck hanms. is enough to run a man cra zy. If it was not for my 7 ttle :hildren I would leave from about he'e. I am getting tired anyway, crttin, stovewood just to make a smoke to fool the neighbors. DI. Hamilton and Mr. Tom Haynes were visitors in this community one da;- this week.

There Is a charm about old grave yards. They are to us, says the Sprintg tield epblic':1, what lellow autunili afterntonns cannot express. They are deserted old houses. haunted by former owners. In theta is the reminder of other days that mnakes up the atmos phere of old theaters where many fa mous Hamlets and Lady Teazles have trod the boards. There one can follow "the hoary chronicle of the ages" back to the beginning of time. There are little graveyards by the sea wihi waving gra:;ses an(! wild in nanor; p .cs where sea captains are laid to rest. There are others shut off from the business section of large cities by ga t es tirit clo.se at suidown. wlre the found-ers of the city find peaco( after their I:zls.

However graveyards differ. they are all a friendly resting place for the idle wanderer or the vagabtond poet.

Where grnanite stand< up glisten ing in the sun, where tlo wers are fr-sh I on iew-nade ;:raves. and funeral pro cessions may he mtiet. is not the place to wander in. There grief is too 'near and too new. Choose a God's acre where the gr:ss Is overgrown, where weeping willows and grimacing cher uhs decorate the stones. and where the last line of the epitaph is sunk into the grouin(1. Every graveyard has at least it old part, mellowed by the pa.sing of time. Probably Fastest Running Animal. One of the fastest as well as one of the most Interest:ng aninials known is the cheetah, the hunting leopard of In dia. These t-nimualt. on account of the great speed which they attain, are tamed by the Indians and trained to hunt antelopes. While the hunted an telope. which can clear a 10-foot fence without apparent effort at a sing'e leap. Is at the height of a burst of frightened speed the cheetahs are re leased. They stretch along the ground. gaining on the antelopes every second. and finally bring them down with a well-timed bound which places the fangs of the cheetah in the throat of the quarry. The hunters at once cut the throat of the antelope, and the cheetah drinks the lood. Next the thIgh of the antelopte is slit open :tnd the cheetah tears a way ai smaldi port ion o the game he has eap turued. This is, his reward. His muzzle is repIaced,. and he is placed1 in his cage until the next hunt. While the cheetah is Known as a leopard. he is not a true feline.

C Great Hotel Is Uncompleted. t If our civilization passes, Martians of the future who explore the site of J Twentieth century London will won der at the steel skeleton of framies_ and girders, seven stories high that rises ahove Piccadilly. The structure was started seven years ago. It was intended to be the ! 'ark Latne hotel and would have been one of the most elegant and hte:.t situ ated hotels of England. But since the outbreak of the war not a striike of - work has been done on the structure. Today it stands just as it stood wheni the last workman left it In 1914,. The year 1921. with tight money. labor troubles andl high costs, is not b a good time to start btuiling expensive hotels. No buyers are In sight, and y it is improbable that any will appear.
