Jim Jones gets up at half pest four In
q rain or shine or cold ,
And leaves the papers at' the doors. He's
only twelve years old, /
y But, my, he's big and makes mei wish-1
> had some work like his.
He says to me: "Poor, kid, of course
you'd like my Job. Gee whlx!
If you could hear the things I hear and
see the things I see
When I get up at half past four, you'd
wish that you was me!" ,
I He SQuints his eyes. "Why, Chub," he
' says, "I own the whole blame street.
And if you knew the things I know you'd
S _ say they're hard to beat."
"Oh, Jim," {I say, "please tell me now
what all these things can be."
"Not yet;" says' Jim: "you're lots too
young. Wait till you're big like me*"
"But, Jim. it must be awful cold in win>
ter wnen its dark."
"Oh, sure," he says, "so fine and coldiifs
v .; Just a perfect lark,
t Of'course I never dare: to laugh for fear/
% my face will crack;
I No? I can't frown, for it might freeze and
V turn an awful black.
So I Just wear a halfway grin, and if my
face should freeze
I'd be all right to look at with a cheerful
a smile'to please. *
You poor young kid," he says real sad.
"I'm sorry as can be
You pa won't let* you go to work and see
It the things I see.
- I cross my heart they're true," he says
II each time I talk with him.
>> Oh. dear, why can't I get up, too, at half
*r past four, like Jim?

The Real Boss.
The Insurance agent #climbed the
steps and rang the bell. V
"Whom do you wish to see?" asked
the careworn person who came to the
door.
"I want to see the boss of the-house,"
replied the insurance agent "Are you
the boss?"
"No," meekly returned the man who
came to the door; "I'm only the husband
of the boss. Step In; I'll call the
| boss."
' The insurance agent took a seat in
the hall, and in a short time a tallA
dignified woman appeared.
"So you want to see the boss?" repeated
the woman. "Well, just step
into the kitchen. This way. please.
Bridget this gentleman desires to see
you."
"Me th' boss?" exclaimed Bridget
when the insurance man asked her the
question. "Indade Oi'm not Sure, here
comes th* boss now."
She pointed to a small boy of ten
years who was coming toward the
house.
"Tell me," pleaded the insurance
agent when the lad came in the kitchen,
"are you the boss of the house?"
"Want to see the boss?" asked the
boy. "Well, you just come with me."
Wearily the insurance agent climbed
up the steps. lie was ushered into a
? room on the second floor and guided
to the crib of a sleeping baby.
"There," exclaimed the boy, "that's
the real boss of this house."?Puck.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The burial of Mr. and Mrs. DarbyDrafts
baby,Nila, aged three yeaps,
the 5th inst., was attended by an immense
throng. Pilgrim meeting house S
would not hold the people. x
Evprvhodv is cpf/frinc down to work
and it is am observant fact?no idlers
in this section of Lexington township,
about Wingard's and Corley's. This
section i9 truly an industrial and mechanical
one, as good farms are prominent
and farmers successful and machinery
plentiful. The Efird, Meetze
and Roof &Barr saw- mills; the Drafts,
Corley & Drafts saw and cotton gin,
and last, tho' not least, Mr. Ernest
Corley's newly erected saw-mill, and
Messrs. Walter and Sam Corley at
the Lorick water mill on 12 Mile.
Mr. Justus Wingard has purchased
the stocki-and good will of Mr. Walter
Kleckley and Mr. K., i9 no longer
enumerated as one of Lexington's
merchants.
Mr. Bachman Meetze has improved,
the roadway through his plantation,
much to the satisfaction of ye traveling
community. It's "a good road's ^
convention" subject, demonstrated 1
practically. Who's next?. $ 1
, Miss Ethel Lawrence, of Sumter, 3
the accomplished and successful 1
teacher of the Midway school, is
meeting with fine results as to ad- I
vancement of her pupils in their stud- *
ies. The witnesses are here to testify. *
Our old friend Za, is up on his feet t
again. The skillful nursing, the 1
skilled physician, and the kind atten- 3
tion of family and friends, Nall come M
in for their share of appreciation, and *
the R. F. D. carrier of old No. 1 may 8
again traverse the route and smilingly t
acknowledge the good wishes of his 8
many patrons. ' '
Mr. G. Bayless Wingard and your *
scribe enjoyed a day with Hon. D. F. c
Fflrd and family recently. The Sen- c
ator will soon mingle with the "law- 1
makers" and we trust some whole- 1
some legislation may be done with a
traffic that' demoralizes our citizens. 8

Prohibition.
For more than half a century our
people have been talking, voting and
working in the cause of temperance.
In 1851 Maine passed a prohibition ^
law. All the whiskey iogic and influ- *
ence were brought to break down the
cause in that State. All these years s
there has been 'a hard battle against
the sale of whiskey. At the same
time many good and honest people *
have been working to make people
temperate in the use of it, or what is
better to increase the number of total
2
abstainers. Much good has been accomplished.
\ Public sentiment has
been created and strengthened against
the'use and iale of it. There are sev- j
! eral prohibition bills ready for introj
duction wljfcn our general assembly
meets ne'^t week. It appears that '
the tide is turning in that direction.
In Kentucky where millions of dollars
are invested in the manufacture *
of whiskey the majority of the counties
are dry. Voting prohibition is
; only half the battle. It is good as far
as it goes. Friends of the cause
should then by precept, example and j
character do personal work and per
suade men that it is^ foolish, cieoasmg, ,
absolutely and eternally wrong to in- ^
dulge in such an unmanly habit. Let j
the State give us prohibition and at .
the same time let the people everyj
where rise up and make it effective.?
