was very short, they did not come
borne Christmas. J
They Bring Good Results.
The "For sale" and "Want" ad
vertisements placed in our columns
seldom fail to bring satisfactory re
sults. A short time ago Mr. A. G.
Ouzts of the McKendree section in
serted a little advertisement in our
classified column, offering a cow
for sale. Monday we received a
card from Mr. Ouzts requesting
the advertisement discontinued,
stating that it "had done the work."
If you have anything for sale, try a
small advertisement in The Adver
tiser's oolumns. The paper is read
each waek by about 7,000.
Organizer for the 5th District.
At the recent Sunday school con
vention which was heid at Clark's

trict is composed of Harmony and

field. Any church that desires to

the executive committee.
? Constructive Genius.
Henry M. Flagler, the man who put
Florida on the map, was a great con
structive genius, whose name is sur
rounded by none of the glamour and
glory that are associated with the de
structive geniuses of war, but which
will nevertheless be'held in memory by
future generations because of the
monuments he has left and the pleasure
he bas made possible to the millions
who will visit the Land of Flowers i n
the years to come.-Columbia Record.

Not Cast Down by Gloomy
Outlook.
Your humble scribe has been OD
the siok list or rather indisposed
for some time and the pross of the
farm has delayed this letter. We
are wanting rain to bring up the
crops. Here is it the 25th of May
and not half a stand of cotton up.
The outlook is a little gloomy, yet
with all the drought our farmers
appear to be hopeful and contented
about the outcome. The drought
bas damaged the oat crop at least
half of what it promised the first
of May. The acreage in corn is
much more than last year and from
what we can learn the farmers of
the south are realizing the necessity
of planting more corn and others
snough at least for home use. Some
of us have learned by experience
that we can make more clear mon
3y by sowing oats and following the
oats with peas. For last years ex
perience I planted on a one horse
Farm 8 acres to cotton on good land
md calculated getting 8 good bales
of cotton. The excessive rains in
lune and July made rapid growth.
Then the dry spell followed which
jaused the dropping ol? of the
Forms and thc result was that I got
i light bales of cotton. The fall of
1911 I sowed t? acres in oats in
jame field the same quality of land
iv i th less than half the fertilizers
that was used on the cotton. I made
over 200 bushels of oats. I followed
with peas and cut over two hund.ed
dollars' worth cf good pea vine hay,
iot only made more money on the
?x acres I had in oats but improved
the land and now I have on a por
tion of that six acres a fair crop of"
volunteer oats that are about as
?ood as the oats I sowed last fall.
[ guess I have written enough on'
the farm subject ae I can get in this
week.
Our little town is still on the
Tiove more people moving in and
ithers wanting houses and if the
ngns are not deceptive we will have
?orne new buildings erected this
mmmer and fall. Our high school
ilosed with a good entertainment
tvhich gave entire satisfaction to
the patrons and the public general
y. Prof. Fowler and his two as
<?8tants merited much praiee for
.he management of the school
through the en'.ire term and par
.icularly the closing exercises.
We are looking forward to thc
some coming of the young girls
ind young men that are off at
?chool. Miss Essie Collier from
Virginia, Miss Dorothy Miller
From Charlotte, N. C., where she
is engaged in the millinery business.
Miss Lucile Sturkey from Lander
?ollege. Felder Miller from the
Dsborne's business college in Au
gusta, and Messrs. Milledge and

Minis, you can imagine the joy of
ill, both children and parent alike
jlad to be home in the family cir
cle.
Mr. C. L. Wideman's little son
hester met with an accident that
;aused the amputation of a portion
)f his foot. He was driving a pair
of mules hitched to a cutaway har
row when , the mules took freight
md ran away throwing him off on
.he tongue to which the little fel
ow held until the team stopped
md only his feet caught in the
aarrow.
TJhe horseless carriages are get
ting to be a regular craze in our
Lown. We have to be on the look
out when we turn the corners or
(vhen crossing the street, for you
ire in danger of being run down
by one of those lightning Btrikers
lad the life crushed out of you.
There are four of them in town
ible to split the wind and a fifth
one, a small one, on the sick or di
lapidated list. Well, Bro. Minis, we
ire living too fast and I fear many
of us are out living our means.
Wc were very anxious to go to
the re-union but alas for us we have
our oat crop on hand, and a new
McCormick binder slaying the oats
right and left wherever we strike
them. Don Carlos.

Keeping Ever at lt.
Some men make poor farmers be
c?ese they are easily discouraged.
Other men make good farmers be
cause of the simple reaoon that thsy
never knew when they are beaten
always working, plowing, hoeing or
harvesting in season. These latter
kind of fellows have not time to
become discouraged nor sour upon
their calline in life. Industry breeds
happiness; loose application fosters
discouragement. A man may be
buffetted about by adverse fates, his
morrow looked upon to bring noth
ing good; and be he a farmer, me
chanic or a laborer, he can search
the universe and he will find only
one rule tu help bira. That rule says
that whatever his trade or calling
be, he must keep ever at it, because
perseverance is the only hope that
any man can have if he would gain
