Old .J. D. Mooto in Greenville. Sometimes up and often down. Most all the time on the West End of town. Now, Mr. Editor, I'm getting along.very well here-having a good trade-so many people to trade with. I can make more money here in one day than I could in Pick ens or Easley in a week. I don't mean this for any reflection on the little tqwts, for Pickens sure feels like home to me. Like the *enug man who wanted to matry a girl. She kept putting hnim off by saying she did not knotw. "Well," he says, "if it comes to the come you have to say yes or no." So it come to the come. I had to get some place whore I could make money. I have been like the cat in the well. Would climb up one foot and fall back two. So at that rate you will soon get through. There is diversity of opinion as to what broke me up. Some say drinking, some say selling on credit, some say women. But I want to tell you it was neither one, but the three com bined that done the work. So I confess, and an honest confession is good for the soul. Yours truly, Onle D. G. Mooin. Hospital Experience, Ei>.

I will wait for the day to come. My \,ilavs of sorrow are over, and ydurs are vot fo come. And then'mine will be happy. And so, my dear friends, all who are sick .go to the great doctor' at the Greenville in firim - ary and tell him you have comeI to him to be treatedl.

I (do not have to paint, them gr'een or fill them upl with gasoline,'or fuss around with wrench and maul, to make the blamed things go at all. I do not carry traps- in kegs, to make repairs on'iy fat legs; I do not send them to the shop, because they don't blowv up or stop: they do not skid or bUst Ea tire, or leave me stranded In the, mire. They do not run poor I victims down, and mash them up from heels to crown; they do not honk or hiss or toot, to scare c some horseman's nervous brute. t Year after year they bravely walk, my good fat legs, that c never balk. I would not trade my trusty limbs for any car that snorts and skims beneath its load of idle rich, until it dumps them in the ditch.-Walt Mason.
