WKDKE8DAY, NOV. 11, lt?ON.
The British Medical Journal
tells a wonderlul story about a
young woman who reals, writes
and does crochet work while she
sleeps. A mean old bachelor in
ancaster, who has read the
story, says a woman who would
do her talking in her sleep would
command a premium oil the
matrimonial market.
According to the New York
Telegraph Mrs Hetty Green,
the richest woman in the world,
we believe, recently gave the
pitiful sum of one dollar to the
New York State prohibition
lund. It the close-fisted old ladv
had first put a couple of high
balls or cocktails under her silk
shirt waist she might have been
moved to inciease her contribution
to a dollar and a half.
The Houston Post of Texas
says a watermelon was raised in
the State ot Washington til is
year that measured eight feet in
length. Sounds like a Texas
yarn, but even if the tale, like
tiie melon, is three-fourths water,
it still has the Kershaw Era's
account of the size of the taters

Our esteemed Rock Hill con
temporaries will catch up the

Herald, in its last issue, announced
in big headlines the fact that
"Columbus Discovered America "

to its readers the sad intelli

An Atlanta man killed himself
in Chattanooga the other day.

of A'lanta was more than he
could bear.?Augusta Chronicle.
Some other paper has suggest
ed that probably the thought
that he would some day have to
return to Atlanta caused the
'*Atlanta man" to commit suicide.
The editor ot the Herald has
in his possession what is commonly
known as a two-inch cannon
ball which evidently is a i
relic ot the civil war. i'he ball
or shot was found near Lewis
Turnout, Chester county, and
was presented to the Herald by

THE FRANKLIN CHICLE S MOVEMENT
FOR CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
As announced in The News
some weeks ago, die Franklin '
Circm has generously offered
a prize of .$25.00 for the
greatest front yard improvement
during a triv> n period. ;
.Much to our sur()rise and renret,
we learn that lie entries for
this valuable prize are b.v no ,

a noble band of ladies who. in

most praiseworthy endeavor.1
Less thit 11 twenty-live resident* i
have menifi-d their intention to'
enter the proposed contest, and
unless at least that number is
soon reached the (Jiic'e will withdraw
its offer. A pram we aak,
why this seeming indifference ?
I'ride in one's home and town
should alone prompt every hou-e
and lot owner to put forth every

effort to make the premises attractive.
But here the rare opportunity
is presented of winning
a handsome sum for doing so.
Are you willing and ready to
strive for the prize? We hope
so, and we trust that you will
at once send in your names to
the Franklin Circle's Director,
Mrs. W. E. Taylor, who will furnish
you with the rules governing
the contest.
Apropos of this subject we have
receiveu 'lie lonowing irom tue |
Circle, with the request, that it
be published, and we gladly irive
it all the publicity within our
power :
"The 'Franklin Circle' for 'he
third time makes a plea to the
persons ol the town lor names
tor the yard prize of $25, which
amount has been offered by the
Circle for the most improvement
on Iron! yaids dating from Sept.
15th,1908, to July 4th, 1909. As
yet we have received ie*s than
25 names for this contest and
unless the contestants number
25 by Dec. Is', we will be forced
to call off the prize, on account
o! so little interest being manifested.
As no names have been
sent in to 'he Director tor hand
icratt prizes, we withdraw this
price.
"Again we beg the peop'e to
help us in this work ol <kCivic

undertaken, by sending their
names at once to Mrs W. K.
