FROM OUR COF Liberty. Misses Calla Chapman and Pearl Smith returned to Chicora College last week. Miss Ada Goudelock is clerking for J. F. Bannister. Miss Fannie Harbio, of Seneca, has charge of the millinery store of Mrs. Rosa Callaway. Clayton Smith has moved to town to school his children. C. E. Bush's new residence is nearina P~nn 'F1 completed )een very . improv Fannie and Amber, the two young children of W. J. Bogge, who have been sick with scarlet fever, are much better. Oh, these busy work.daysl how re - leived the housewife feels when the last glass of jelly has been made and the last jar of fruit, and vegetabes canned. I had a niece visiting me last week and after watching me can tomatoes, she said, Auntie, why will housekeepers worry to put up vege tables and things to be eaten through the winter? I reminded her of the busy bee. I detest pie making too, and try to make my family think that "pizan' things" are not good for them but I make them sometimes, because, 1 love my family and try to provide for their pleasure. I read with pleasure the Seutinel Journal editorial on "The Old School house." I asked a friend once if she had read a certain editorial, she said, "No, I ne,.er road what the editor has to say." I said to her, my-friend many times you miss the cream and only drink the "bluejohn." Every one to their own notion you know. No, "Clevie,' I did not get mad at you, for I think a loving crilicism as I took yours to be-does us good sometimes, causing us to correct our faults. Perhaps Clevie, I could write at some length on the subject you touched upon last week, I say that perhaps as I am net gifted with the art of tart expression and I would not know whether I could pen them the thoughts, I mean --or not, so ![ 1u1m uur aves bravely and patiently as heaven has ordained it for tus: knowing that we have~ denied -eur selves for conscience rake shall b3e en. ?oyed not only in this life, but in 'the life to come, in an exhalted degree with measure upon measure of saded bliss when we receive our just re ward. While wve are living such lives we are exerting, perhaps all unconsci ously, an edevating over others. Whby eay more on this subject if [ -could, for is it not the short discourse or treaties that stick to memory's taillet? Now, I have never read "P'etearch and Laura," for if I hai1, do not thiunk I would have remembered one-half, but a friend gave me a synopsis a score of years ago, and I think I coald give it word for word, so it is the short and to the "pint" pieces that stick. Clevie, if you have never read "Petrarch and Laura," I will send1 a synopsis to the editor, and he will, no doubt, sOudl it on to you, that is if you wvani it. Petrarch, too, was a poet. Could a wyord of mine, Clevie, cause the muse that is in your talent to shine forth in print, you should have it. Dreamer. P. S.--Mr. Editor, would it bo out of place to send a cure for rhieuma tismn that I have run a.'ross. It is guaranteed. I will send it if it is not out of place next time. D. [Certainly, soend it along.

Helll here I come again with the news from our section. 'Ihe farme's are getting along fine gathering cot ton. We had a nice rain Sunday night which did turnip patches much good.

Rev. Joe Davis has put his Gospel tent at the Line Gate about a mile from here. Miss Canna Alexander, of Ste-vart. visited at the horme of her sister, Mrs. C. L. Willim-non, Sunday last. Mr. Glenn Stewart has treated bituRelf to a new top buggy. Miss Sophia Mauldin and her friend Miss Anua Pickens, viEited at the bomne of Mrs. Frank Mauldiu, of Dalton, Suuday and reported a fiue time, Boru unto Mr. and 'Mrs. Coat Stewart, a fine girl.

Value of the Spirit of Compromise in: Wedded Life. If 'marriage meant the wedding of a saint and an angel there would be no problems to solve, no perfections to attain, no progress to make. This may be why there are no marriages in heaven. On earth it Is diferent. Husband and wife are strongly human. No mant ter how lovingly united or how sweet their hecord, they never have the same tenmpernments, tendencies or tastes. Their needs are different, their man ner of looking at things is not identical and in varying ways their Individuali ties assert themselves. At any critical moment if both express at tie same time a desire to defer to the other's taste the result is foreordained-hap piness. This makes amatrimnony not merely union, but unison and unity. The spirit of compromise does not mean a continuous performance in the way of self surrende and self sacri tice; it does not nean ceasing to be a voice an1d( becoming au echo; it (oes not imply or justify the loss of indi viduality. It umans siuply the in stinctive recognition of the best way out of i difficulty, the quickest tacking to avoid a collision, the kindly view of tolerance in the presence of weakness and errors of another, the courage to meet an explanation half way, the gei erosity to be irst to apologize for at (Is cord, the largeiness of 111ind thit does not fear a sacrifice of digniity in sur rendering in the interests of tihe high est harmony or1he two rather than the personal vanity.-Delineator. Seeing the Sights. Ev'en in these days of liberal educa tion the younig women sometime show hlow confused are the ideas shut up in' their heads. Illustrative of tils is tire native blunidrer which Edmiondo de Amicis recounts in his story of a voy age fromli Genoa to Buenos AVres: The captai of the steamer whlch numbered Ile chrinlug young lilun derer amuonig its paseigers imet ler on1e m110roriIg aid said: "8ggnorlui, we cross the tropic of cancer today."
