I Tuesday afternoon Miss Lizzie Hollingsworth gave a miscellaneous shower at her lovely country home in honor of the bride-elect, Miss Natalie Padgett. In spite of the thunder storm that came up at the hour of the shower, there were a sidficient number of young ladies present to make the occasion one of unusual pleasure. The parlor was decorated with a profusiou of dai sies. A musical contest afforded pleasant diversion, as many of the guests were talented musicians. Miss Nell Jones played several se lections on the piano the titles bear ing upon or being suggestive of the approching nuptials of the guest of honor and each one prtsent sup plied a name for each selection, a prize, a beautiful box of stationary, being awarded the one giving the most correct names. This distinc tion fell to the lot of Miss Natalie Padgett. At the close of the con test the climax of the very pleasant occasion was reached when a little pickauinoy, clad in white with yel low paper arranged about his form to represent a yellow daisy, his black head representing the black centre, entered the parlor bearing on his head a large waiter upon which was arranged the beautiful collection of tokens that were be bestowed upon the guest of honor by her friends.

Rally at Parksville. A party of Edgefield ladies inter ested in the Y. W. A. rally at Paiksville left Edfiefield at 8:30 o'clock Thursday morning, having been belated by the hard morning showers. The party reached there just as the norning session closed, meeting our beloved state superin tendent, of the Young Woman's Auxiliary at the door, and Miss Em mie Lanham associate superintend ent of the Y. W. A. for Edgefield association aud other kind friends and residents of Parksville. The dinner was a very pleasant opportu nity for social intercourse, and was a manifestation of the kindly hospi tality of the Parksville people. Miss Emmie Lanham made a very efficient presiding officer and was highly commended for her faithful ness in being present under great difficulties and in so wisely conduct ing the meeting. At the close of the meeting the Edgefield delegates were hospitably entertained in the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Tal bert and Dr. Black well. These friends were so hospi table and kind and so charming that they caused great trouble in the end. First by holding us in Parksville. by their enchantment till a late hour in the morning and causing us to in flict our good friends Mr. and Mrs. Littlejohn with our presence at din ner, and making us all late or ab sent from a delightful meeting of the local Y. W. A. at Edgefield, and still our eyes are now and anon looking back towards the place of our sojourn. Among me friends whom we saw were Mrs. John Iirunson who now lives in Augusta, but is visiting her son Mr. .Joe Brimson, Hon. Jasper Talbert, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bus sey, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Morgan, Mrs. J. C. Robertson and others. We missed the fices of some dear friends who were there to greet us on our last visit, especially Mr. L. F. Dorn and Mrs. Maggie Morgan, and while others were there to take their places, these true and tried could not be effaced from our memory. A College Graduate. A young college graduate said the other day, "Now that I have completed my education, 1 must de cide on a vocation." The chances for that young man to make a success in life are not very bright, for two reasons. Ir. the first place, lie has not completed his education; and in the second place, his vocation should have been de cided ou long ago. Going through college and se curing a diploma and 'a degree does not make an education. Knowledge gained from books is not worth much unless the knowledge thus gained is applied in tho every day affairs of life. A college course is not an education in itself; it is in tended to enable one getting it to more readily acquire education later on- It is intended to be a means to ward an end, and not the end in it self. The young man who waits until he-bas'comt>l?t?d his college course before deciding on a vocation is greatly handicapped, in that he has wasted some of the most valuable years of his life, lie should decide on his vocation first, and then shape his college course so as to fit him self for his vocation. The young man who doesn't do this makes a vital mistake. It is useless to worry over this young college graduate who is still trying to decide on a vocation; but other young men who expect to en ter college this fall might do well to ponder over his mistake.-Ander son Daily Mail. Entertained! in Honor of Charm ing Visitor. Tuesday afternoon ?at her home on Main street Mrs. Bettie Cantelou entertained with bridge in honor of her charming guest, Mrs. Frank Myers of Atlanta, who has been a visitor in the home of Mrs. Cantelou before and is pleasantly remember ed here. Five tables were arranged by the hostess for the animated game and at the conclusion the highest score was made by Mrs. James H. Tompkins who won the first prize. The consolation prize on this occasion fell to the lot of M iss Annie Bee. The hostess also presented the guest of honor with a beautiful token, which will be priz ed as a souvenir of the delightful afternoon. Delicious ices were served at the close of the bridge contest. Cigarettes and the "Movies." You may never have thought of it, but the next time you go to a movie just notice how many of the characters in the pictures are inhal ing cigarette smoke. This will bo especially true if the pictures are the portrayal of an event in "high society." Your boys and girls see these pictures. They see Handsomely dressed men and richly gowned women smoking cigarettes deftly extracted from ornamental cigarette cases. Are they not likely to gain the impression that cigarette smok ing isjquite the proper.thing? The influence of the moving pic tures is tremendous. Every com munity has its shows and practical ly all the children attend them. It is important that they present wholesome pictures, such as will improve rather than demoralize the morals of the children. It is your duty to act in this mat !|?r. Write the film producers 'about it. Tell the manager of your local play house what you think of pictures that encourage the use of cigarettes. Do your part in stamp ing out this evil.-Editorial in Peo ple's Popular Monthly. NOTICE ! NOTICE ! Our Hour mill is now in opera tion and will continue throughout the entire season.

We are Conservative We are Safe* ? . . " A Grateful Heart. There is a pathetic little story of a blind girl told by Ian MacLaren; "If I dinna see"-and she spoke as if this were a matter of doubt and she were making a concession for argument's sake-"there's naebody in the Glen can hear like me. There'? no a footstep of a Drum tochty man comes to the door but th;it I ken his nam?1, and there's no voice ont on the road that I canna tell. The birds sing sweeter to me than to onybody else, and I can hear them cheeping to one another in the bushes before they go to sleep. And the flowers smell sweet er to me -the roses and the carna tions and the bonny mo-<s rose-and I judge that the oatcake and the milk taste the richer because I dinna see them. Na, na, ye're no to think that I've been ill-treated by my God, for if He dinna give me ane thing. He gave me mouy things in stead. And, mind ye, it's no as if I'd noan once and lost my sight; that might ha' been a trial, and my faith micht have failed. I've lost naething; my life has been all get ting.'' mram-nnQ Milo. - Laxative B? I TAMO Family Medicine.
