Subscript~ion Pice.~ 41ne D)llar a Y ;r In .idvance. BUtered at Pic -ens Fotoce as Second CaS t Mai I'stP 7 THURSEAY rEB. 2 1911 KEEPING OUR WORD. Some time agc we jumped on our subscribers with both feet, trying to get them to pay up. We threatened to discontinue every paper not paid in advance by January 1st. The reason we haven't kept this ihreat is not because we were afraid to.put it into execu tion, but because the American Music Company, of Jackson ville, Fla., about that time figured for our subscription ac counts. It was our expectation that they would handle them from that date, but they have just now reached them, and in order to collect them quickly they have decided to put on a contest and give away a nice piano. We hope our subscribers will take heed and push the contest -the prize is worth working for. and it is open to everybody, - be it an individual, church or secret order organization. So don't be afraid to start off your lodge, your church, your wife. your daughter, your sweetheart. or some member of your neigh bor or relative's family. We will look after your inter ests and guarantee the prizes. We thank you all for your past patronage and hope you will remain with us another year. This plan is launched to clean up the old accounts, get new subscribers, and collect for the paper in advance, and when we get it that way we aim to keep it there, or quit business. If we can build up the circula tioiinwe .intend to improve the ' paper (which we cannot possi bl:ydo without. ready money), and -giveito the people of 'Pick ens county 'the best. and news ieside? printe in thig seeto - of SstI:Carlifl&e .. wesioiit an4. ethecf~t operation of each . add.dvery e. in making this'. conteskca suegSs gy your thelpwde si knowtshat you 'apprdye of. u policy' of'prous nd sari ing teielp us ta'ii'it.*: Evry person not paying ip during the contest will, imnie diately after Its close.,e c~ropp.f from ouX'list; for any person wh4 can, or ' 413, resist the * blandishments aiid wiles of Sdies and'refuse to ive upthe conunder such circumstances will not pay at all unless their account is placed in the hands of a lawyer.

Morris quote the lines of owper: "What is there in the vale of life Half so delightful as a wife: When friendship, love, and peace combine To stamp the marriage-bond divine." Theodore Parker has wisely aid that men and women, and ,specially young people, do not mow that it takes years to marry ,ompletely two hearts, even of he most loving and well-sorted. 3ut nature allows no sudden :hange. We slope very gradual y from the cradle to the-sum nit of life. Marriage is gradual L fraction of us at a time. A appy wedlock is a long falling n love. We know young per ons think love belongs only to I yrown hair and plump. round :rimson cheeks. So it does for ts beginning, just as Mount Washington begins at Boston )av. But the golden marriage s a part of love which the bridal lay knows nothing of. Youth s the tassel and silken flower of ve, age is the full corn, ripe nd solid in the ears.

On the 27th ult., in response oinvitations which had been~ ent out some time ago, some 20 guests filled the home of Mr. 3.d Mrs. A. M.

Mrs. Morris was handsomely 3owned in a magnificent silver ray silk and carried a beauti Eul bouquet of brideas roses. Music was furnished by Pick- 1 -ns orchestra, and it was so oul-stirring that the fantastic toe had to be tripped slightly. The first cotillion was led by Mr. Elias Earle Mauldin, the youngest man there, his vizaviz being Mrs. L. C. Thornley. This was the signal for all, and the young folks not to be out done by a person of Mr. Maul din's years, made good use of the intervening time, until mid night, coming all to soon, they bade their host and hostess good night, with the hearty wish that they may live to enjoy at least 25 more years of wedded bliss, The presents were many, handsome and valuable, and but expressed in a feble way. the esteem and hearty good will in which this most excellent couple are held by thcir friends and neighbors.
