The grand jury of Clarendon has presented the dispenser at that place for failure to use request books. The law on the subject says: "Section 566.

There are several aspirants sow grooming and will enter the race if they don't peg out before that ' time with heart failure. h: , ? % On Wednesday June 7tb, 1905, Mr. *St. Julien Cullum of Batesburg, and Miss Gertrude Franklin Perkins of t Augusta, Gi, were married at the home of the bride in that city.

I On New Year's day we all swear off, | No matter though the ladies scoff. ! No more for as the brimming wine Or other follies in that line; Down virtue's path we gavly start Perched high upon the water cart. We see the folly of our ways And swear that all our future days Shall be on lines quite different cast ' * "* v A '? ? ?^VvVvli* nO From inose lhcll mcii ^cu v ui >^v%., In fact, we rather think that we May buy a halo, c. o. <1. How virtuous is simple man In contemplation! Then this plan Moves forward without jar or hitch. Avoiding every rut and ditch. He doesn't for a moment think He'll ever take another drink. Ah, well, it is a story old! About a week of it will hold The average man who turns a leaf; Ere many days he comes to grief; He throws the throttle open wide And drinks enough to feaze the tide. But though poor man does not make good, It may as well be understood That even trying helps a bit, For just a single week of it, Though failing later, makes him learn. And he has charity to burn. Virtue In Prunes. -It Is hard for us to believe that the humble, unobtrusive prune Is one of the healthiest of fruits, and yet the doctor assures us that it Is. It is for the lofty and noble purpose of increasing the health of her boarders and not for the sordid reason that they cost less Fpff and cream that vV^D tbe landlady f) *\ makes such a ( i-iuA \^/5?a\ specialty of \ Kkes t0 y^TrT^ / AT see ^er ^oardHf / y \ / / \ \ ers abounding /j ( \ y J[y 1 \ in health that ?r they may be strong to eat and digest the other articles of food that adorn her modest board. The landlady is a philanthropist in disguise, but the disguise is so clever that few ever penetrate it. But, speaking of prunes being healthy, haven't you ever noticed that after you have eaten heartily of them three times a day you feel as though you could go out and lick a policeman? Physical Inability. "I think that Brown has a streak of mental obliquity." "Why do you think so?" "Asked him the other day when he was going to hand me that ten that he owes me, and he replied that he has sprained both wrists and is not able to do any manual labor just now." The Wise Worm. I hate to arise in the morning; I really do. Indeed, Because I always like to feel The early bird has had his meal Before upon the scene I steal To worm my way into the deal And get the stuff I need. The First One. "Is he original?" "You can judge for yourself. He had his picture taken and didn't say anything about breaking the camera." The State of South Carolina, County of Lexington. Geo S.
