While all the other boys in in town were out "sparking" around with the good looking girls, these hnv<j were nrniinH ?t. their hoardinc ) le house, Miss Maggie Brooks', putting her car in good shape for the big trip. Last week the car seemed to !jy be just right and last Saturday night le the trip was begun. In the car was Col. Henry Wilson, Maj. Arthur Rosenberg, James Cox, who is tall ?" enough and handsome enough to be ,1_ a General, Bayard Swetenberg, who is enough of a German to command , a submarine, and Lowry Wilson, who 1)1 is a pretty boy and a favorite with yj" everybody. The trip begun after the stores closed Saturday night and Augusta I was. the ultimate destination. The v* young men selected Sunday for the trip because the many gilded places of amusement and refreshment in , the wicked city would be closed ? and the day could be spent in peace ? and quiet. Maj. Rosenberg was running the , car and all went well for a short dis' tance, then things begun to liven up, such things as two punctures at one time and seven blow-outs, giving he the trip the essence of an automobile trip. After this it became hard to keen the road, there ammrentlv be ve ing two roads where there should j?~ have been but one. This necessi.tated the asking of the way quite *8 often and James Cox was selected T for this job. The first stop brought ' the man of the house to the door in *8 his sleeping garments and with a big double barrel shot gun in his 11 hands, and after this reception James always left his overcoat in the car , so that he could run the faster. The young men report a pleasant ?" time in the city, though Henry Wil? son says he only remembers of spending fifteen cents, but he came home fifteen dollars short. Arthur Rosenberg reports getting eJ in at "twelve thirty Sunday night," James tells the story of coming in et at "two thirty," Henry Wilson acF* knowledges to getting here "just a !ir little before day," while Lowry Wilson says that he got home "in time to open up the store." As all were g, in the same car we will leave it to n- some Philadelphia lawyer to say exrg actly just what time they did get er home. ;>n The boys in the store say that he Lowry was in a "peevish humor" all day Monday. All acknowledge the kindness in Mr. Sol Rosenberg in letting them off for the trip. They went after the store closed Saturday night and were told to be back in rs time to open up Monday morning bright and early. lia When we were growing up if we n" ever went any where we had to go ce on the old cannon ball over the Southern, which took all day to get nnt :et ily he ng yEaster S April jK 23rd Tm !nr ^ ir. . <] ;k, He S I Order Your - Tailoring I ire Afou) I ;ss Ife Our Men's Jewelry Department Replete C a With Novelties. . or of he >d, to I Next Sun th he tO'day and n"f Display. ?; Hats, Ties, of 77 wear, Ha// i ck I he With a Victrol Easter music rig The hymns and sacre Easter season are brough on the Victrola. * They are superbly r " and celebrated choirs ai Victrola they are yours a ' Why not see about a Victrola ?< ' let ua demonstrate the various styles c and explain to you the advantages of < t \ o McMURRAYD Abbevil from Abbeville to Hodges.
