The monocle has long since been
oat of fashion In England, and 1b soon
to disappear from Paris, which has
been its last stronghold. It was In
vented by a Dutch dandy, and its evil
effects upon the eye were at once
noted by oculists. The monocle first
appeared at the congress of Vienna
In 1814, when it was worn by its lh
ventor. One folly, at least, has had
only about a century of life.

A sense of humor is certainly the
salt of life, either of the 'married va

It certainly helps a wife to laugh oK

Office Hours.
Living in a very friendly neighbor'

But the happiest home is built
when the twain together meet the

One of the prettiest and most notable
weddings of the times, and for this place,
occurred last Wednesday at high noon in
the Methodist church in the presence of
the largest crowd ever gathered here for a
like purpose. In the chancel were a num
ber of potted plants and ferns. The chan
cel roiling, was robed in white with ivy
vines placed in an artistic manner upon it,
when all things were in readiness. As the
soft and dulcet strains of music given
forth by the organ, mingled with those of
the violin called forth hy the skilful touch
of the hands of Miss Ella Floyd and Mrs.
Dr. J. C. Harper, of Greenwood, respec
tively, began the coming in of the bridal
party.
The ushers first came and took their
places near the chancel railing, then Mas
itpr Marshall Lntlmer rlnsr bearer, then
Master Walter Huckabee and little Miss
Frances Harper. Ten little glrle In white,
Kirt about with a blue sash, then came In,
each bearing: a lighted candle and ranged
themselves just inside of the altar railing.
Mrs. E. F. Latimer, dame of honor, hand
somely gowned In blue, entered on the
right, and Miss Ella Nick lea, maid of hoo
'nr, of Greenwood, beautifully dressed Jn
| pink, by the left door. Then came In the
bride to be, Miss Eloise Harper, in a hand
I some blue ooat suit and hat to match, lean
ing on the arm of her father, Mr. E. "W.
j Hurper, by the left door, and at the same
.time the groom to be, Mr.Thflrnn Allen,
on tlifi arm of his bc6t man, Mr. Ewfst
A lion,'enters. Theise took their respective
places nettr the chancel In front of
officiating minister. After tho bride was
given away, the minister in a solemn and
impressive manner penoiiueu uir wjd
n.ony uniting the two before him in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
Immediately after which the crowd re
paired to the home, where a number of
potted plants were seen everywhere. Here
an eiugant dinner awaited all who were
present. A number of hftndgomo and use
ful and some oostiy presents were shown
in u side room. Among thorn was a china
closet presented by the Embroidery CJub
of which the bride was .an ootivo and hon
ored member. The bride* is tho eldest
daughter of our honored townsman. Mr.
E. W. Harper. The gioom is the second

$10,000 in Bills Left in tftiii
way Car Seat,
i
Macon, Ga., Jan. 81.?Condudtor Walter
Little picked up a packuge in a seat of a
Central of Georgia railway car yesterday
at Columbia, Ala., wnlch later waa found
I to contain ?10,000 in bills.
1 The name of J. C. Koiinlz appeared on
the package, and It was found today that
the money belonged to a J)othan bank
with which Mr. Kouutz is connected.
' The money was in possession of a mes
senger. who left the train at Columbia. It
was returned to the bank.
I The money, along with several other
packages, had been placed in a hand grip,
, which in some, manner had come open while
on the seat in the day coach and the $10,
o:n pacha je had dropped out.
Because of the notoriety that it would
bring liim, the blank officials have refused
to dis-lo.se the name of the man who lost
the money.
It was explained that the bank had sent
a special representative to carry the mon
ey to l)'?than because of the high rates
charged by the express company, it being
much cheaper to pay the expense of a man
to carry the money in person than to pay
25 c.'nfs per $100 to send it by express.

TRYISG TO PUSH
RAISING OF HOGS.
Agricultural Department Would En
courage Industry?Pig Clubs lor the
Poys?Through This Means, it is
Hoped, Youths Can be Interested in
Production.
Waoskington, Jan. 30.?The depart
ment of agriculture is endeavoring to
interest the younger generations on
Southern farms in the breeding of
good hogs. It is the objcct of the de
partment to encourage the young men
to raise at least enough pork for
home consumption, and if possible a
surplus for the market. Pork can be
marketed in many forms?fresh pork,
hams, bacon and sausage?and can
be produced so as to sell much cheap-,
er than beef. A shortage of beef
means an increased demand for pork,
and it seems reasonable that there
Bhould be a ready demand for all the
available supply. This means money
in ,the pocket of the boy hog raiser.
Some of the points which the de
partment advises the youthful hog
grower to bear in mind are the fol
lowing:
1. The feeding and care are as im
portant as the breeding In producing
a good hog. Plenty of feed and good
care may make a good hog out of a
runt, but lack of it will always make
a runt out of a good pig.
2. To make pork cheaply a perma
nent pasture and forage crops must
be used.
" "TT ?:V?oxrn a Hrv hari
?J. I UUllg ^150 wuai. uu.v ~ ~
and plenty of sunshine.
4. Begin feeding the pig as. soon as
he will eat, and keep him growing un
til he is mature.
5. Always keep plenty of clean,
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
6. Quarantine all newly purchased
animals for three weeks.
7. Never keep a female for a brood
sow, no matter how well bred she may
be, if she will not produce more than
four strong pigs at a litter.
8. The more milk a sow will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
9. Lice provent a hog from doing
well.
10. Always keep a mixture of char
nohoa HmA RlllnhllP. Salt.

and copperas before the hogs.
Important Points.
These points are emphasized in a
bulletin just issued by the bureau of
animal industry, entitled "Boys' Pig
Clubs, With Special Reference to
Their Organization, in the South."
It can be had free by the young
farmer by application to the depart
ment. It contains- a number of illus
trations, a design ef a portable hog
house, which can be built easily and
cheaply, and a design of feeding pen
for Bmall pigs.
In the DamDhlet are some very im
portant "dont's" which should aid
the young farmer in preventing the
dangerous disease of hog cholera.
Here are the suggestions:
Do not have hog lots next to high
ways. railroads or streams. If your
neighbor's hogB have cholera do not
allow anyone from his farm to visit
your farm, and eseeially your hog lot
or pens, and keep away from your
neighbor's hog let, whether his hogs
have cholera or not.
Do not keep pigeons or allow them
to alight on your premises.
Keep away crows and buzzards.
Quarantine all new hogs brought to
your place until you are sure they are
free of disease.
. Do pet $Uow a patent medicine
man on your place, for you do not
know how Fepegtly h? ?as visited a
sick herd.
Disinfect your wagon and your own
shoes and clothes after hauling hogs
to stock yards or railroad loading
pens.
Avoid every possible way of car
rying infection to your hogs.
"An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure," is an old saying, but
<n tMc casp it is everything.
The object of the pig clubs Is to
show the boys how better and cheap
er hogs may be produced by the use of
improved biood and the growing of
forage crops. It also aims to epcour
age the homecuring of meats and the
growing of forage crops, while dis
couraging the use of high-priced feed
The work of the boys' pig clubs is
planned to compliment the work of
the boys' corn clubs by showing the
boys how they can profitably sell their
corn through hogs.
Learn Their Yalue.
The boys in these clubs learn how
to judge hogs and to select them for
breeding or market purposes. They
also learn practical ways in the man-.
agement of diseases of swine, all of,
wh<ch information proves valuable
with respect to other forms of live
stock work. ,

Lewis Clark, a millionaire of Spokane,
Wash., is being held for $75,000 ran

an anonymous letter received by a

The Value of Trying.
If a man constantly aspires, is he
not elevated? Did ever a man try
heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincer
