The farm is not quite paid for. : Early and late the father and mother toiled, living sparingly and growing daily more silent and stern. The two sons, aged twelve and fourteen years, working as steadily almost as their parents, but the silence and re pression wore upon their heartp, and by degrees they becsme discouraged and then dissatisfied with their home. It was a terrible shock to the busy, preoccupied father, when by chance be overheard the two boys planning to leave home; and it did not take long to shape plans whereby the atmosphere of the whole place was ohaDged. His two manly sons were worth more to him than all the farms in the world. From a silent, apparently unsym nathcHA h? found it worth while to become once more a boy, interested in all tfc&t interested bis two boys, full of pranks and jokes, brim ming over with fun, a treasure house of tales of long ago that were far more thrilling to the bewildered boys than a dozen long books of adventure. The mother brightened up the I ! dreary home, bought some books, subscribed for more papers. She ' smiled now when her heart was < heaviest, and drew near to her sons in a way she never had time for be- 1 fore and the boys promptly adjusted themselves to the new conditions of the home, and voted it the sweetest spot on earth. ? The Farmers Are In The Saddle. i i For the first time in years the cotton farmer within reach of a Round- ( lap bale plant finds himself independent of compresses and bagging and tie men, who have grown rich out of the monopoly they have enjoyed of covering and compressing bis cotton. Besides enabling him to ^ sell his cotton in Koundlap bales at } a premium which, after paying the ( baling charge leaves him a handsome profit, the competition aroused by the presence of a round bale plant compels square bale buyers to advance their limits. How much cf the higher prices paid last fall w^s due to this competition patrons of Roundlap plants know. Why He Was Crazy. A man in the insane asylum gives the following reasons why he is crazy: "I met a young widow with a step daughter, and the widow married me. Then my father was a widower, met my step daughter and married her. That made my wife the mother in-law of her father-inlaw, and made my step daughter my mother and my father my step son. Then my step mother, the step daughter of my wife, had a son. That boy, of course, was my brother b cause he was my father's sod. He was also the son of my wife's step daughter and, therefore, her grand8od. That made me grandfather to my step brother. TheD my wife had a eon. My mother-in-law, the step sister of my eon, is also his grandmother, because he is her step son's child. My father is the brotherin-law of my child, because his step sister i9 his wife.

And after tr)ing to explain the relationship in our family eome seven times a day to our calling friends for a fortnight I was brought here?no, came of my own will." Not Out of a Book. "By the way, said the man who had stopped at the farmhouse to water his horse, fifteen years ago a j poor boy came this way and you j took him in." "Yet-?'' queried the fatmer some- , what surprised. "You were kind to him/' went on the stranger. "You fed him, gave him words of encouragement and an old suit of clothes, put five shillings in his pocket, aod sent him on his way rej icing He told you at the } time that never would he forget jour ! kindness.

"He 6aid that if he prospered he , Ij |A' 1020 MAI>' ST. l~A Solicits a ? would Bee that you never had occa 8ion to regret your kindness to a poor, struggling lad." "Land sake!" exclaimed the farmer's wife excitedly. "It sounds like a fairy tale, don't it!" "Well," continued the stranger, "be told me to tell you that he was still poor. And as he drove away the farmer went out and kicked the pump viciously, while his wife threw the rolling pin at the chickens.

"Mamma," she asked, one day, "If I get married, will I have a husband like papa? ' Yes." renlied the mother, with an imused smile. "And if I don't get married, will [ have to be an old maid, like Aunt Kate." "Yes, Flossie." "Mamma," she said, after a short pause, "it's a tough world for us wosien, ain't it?" 1634 t New Clerks are being added growing trade.

There is some talk of a suit for damages. The Prosperity Voice cf the People has changed from a patent outside to an all home priot, and it also shows many other evidences of the successful effjrts of its energetic and enterprising manager to givo the people of Prosperity and virility a paper worthy their support. The Baptist church cf Brookland, of which the Rev. J. E Daren is the pastor, was dedicated last Sunday. The Rev. T. M Biiley, of Greenville, preached the dedicatory sermon. Work was started on this building last June and it is ro:v c<m pleted and free from debt, as a result of the persevering industry of the Baptist brethren and sisters of that town. Pelion, in Lexington county, on tUI ClI^ CA.cuaiuu VA IUV Railway, sent a car load of lumbrr to Prosperity, in Newberry county, last week. This is but another evi dence of the developing power < f * r ilroad. Had this road not been built, the lumber industry of that section of the county would rot have been developed, and the pine forests there would have remained in tbeir primeval state. To collect a j ldgtneDt of $428, which was lodged in bis office against the Southern Railway Company, Sheriff Buford chained a freight train tn th#? tranb at. \awVk?rr? nntil tbe moDey was forthcoming. After a delay of several hours tbe Southern's officials came to taw and No. 862 went on her way toward the setting sun. Mrs. Margaret Ricbel Senn, widow of the late Captain R. D. Senn, lately died at her home in Colombia, after a long and painful illness, in tbe 78'h year of her age. She waa born in this (Lexington) county in 1823, and was the daughter of the Hon. Louis Pou, but has been living in Columbia since 1845. Mrs. Senn was a devoted and consistent member cf the Washington Street Methodist church in the city of her adoption, and those who were acquainted wi.b her bear testimony to her exemplary life, her deep piety and her beautiful Chistian graces. Her rera tins now r^st besile those of her Lusband iD Elmwood. Mr. S A Pearce. who has charee of the census for this district, it mistaken in bis claim that "Near Brookland is really a part of Columbia," as he i3 reported to have made the other day. Unlike the other suburbs mentioned by him, Brookland is no part or parcel of Columbia, and is not even a suburb of that city, because "it is really not an 'outlaying part' cf the city.*' It is situated in a different county (the grand old "State of Lexington'') with a broad river dividing it from Columbia. It baa its own municipality; its own large commodious business houses, with its I'^e and progressive business men. Its people are Lexingtonians by birth or adoption and all tneir interests are wedded to Lexington county. Near Eowesville, in Orangeburg county, a negro attempted to assault a youDg lady of prominent family, lately. Sbe screamed and the negro was pursued and caught. His captors grimly used a knife instead of rope and the negro was turned loose a tenible and living warning. An exchange dishes out the following advice to young meD: "My son, follow not in the footsteps of a loafer and meke no example of him who is born tired, for verily I say unto you their business is over stocked, the seats in the corner are all taken, and the wbitling places are all occupied. It is better to saw wood at two bits a cord tban to whittle in a loafing match and cu98 the government. My son, away with the cigarette habit; for lc! thy breath stinketh like a glue a factory, and tbv appearance is less intelligent than a stone dummy. Yej, thou art a cipher with the rim knocked cff " To mistake one's talents or overrate one's ability is always ridiculous and often dangerous. In most proposals the young lady is pressed for an answer. When a sum in arithmetic doesn't come out right it is a total wreck. Some magazine poetry should be used as ammunition for the magazine guns. The man who is unable to find his match may have to go to bed in the dark.
