Miss Pitinof was in the water 8 hours and 7 minutes. She took no stimulants or food of any kind on the long trip. Most of the way she used the breast stroke, but for two stretches | she resorted to the speedier overhand. The young woman's feat or today had not before been accomplished.

Speakers of prominence will address the audience, and a picnic dinner will be served. Jas. W. Shealy, Chairman Committee. \ Look Pleasant We cannot, of course, all be handsom And it's hard for us all to be good; We are sure now and then to be lonely And we don't; always do what we should. To be patient is not always easy, To be cheerful is much harder still; But at least we can always be pleasant If we make up our minds that we will. And it pays every time to be kindly, Although we feel worried and blue; If yon smile at the world and look oheerfnl, The world will smile back at you, So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how long you are down; Good humor is always contagious, But yon banish your friends with a frown. ?Exchange.

Miss Isabel Brooker, of I Swansea, is chairman of the committee on hospitality, j Sue H. Corley, [ Association**! Superintendent. A Parable on Boys. Verily in this day and generation, the father raiseth up his son on the streets and sidewalks. He layeth around the soda fountains and irnbibech slop r nd hookworms. He growcth in knowledge of.nothing saye cigarettes and cuss words. When he attaineth the age of 16, he acquireth a suit of clothes turned np at the bottom two furlongs above the feet. He displayeih a pair of noisy sox, with purple background and violets to the front. He weareth lowcut shoes and a green tie. He looketh like a banana merchant on the streets of Cairo. The inside of his head resembleth the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle shanked girl with pink ribbons in her hair, and he craveth for an automobile that he may ride her forth in the springtime. He thinketh work is sinful. He ecattereth hia mother's pin money like a cyclone scattereth a rail fence. Hesitteth up at night to write poetry, and giveth no thought to the i multiplication table. His mind turneth to the vanities of life, and not to the high cost of cornbread. Verily, verily, he needeth a board applied vigorously to the southwest corner of his anatomy. He thinketh his father a plodder and his mother a back number. He pictures to himself great riches suddenly acquired. He dreameth of steam yachts and private cars. Yes, he- thiuketh himself the real stuff. He butteth in where he is not wanted; he criticiseth his elders; he ^ * omnl]. purcnasem uneap p?riumc auu. cmw.eth louder than a billy goat. When he groweth up he getteth a job in the old mill and loseth his job becanse he is a fool, wearing fine clothes to work in, instead of rags and overalls. In short, he is a failure and a fool because he was allowed to grow up that way.?Walton, (Ga.) Tribune.

I oonld shout now to know that we are all well of that dreadful trouble The first of last fall my little boy broke out with some kind of itching trouble. Thinking his blood was bad, I gave him a blood tonic, but he got worse and could not sleep at night. Some said he had itch and told me what was good for it. I used what people said was good for it but it did no good. My other two children ana myseir eouk the disease from him in January, 1911. T saw Hunt's Cure advertised and I purchased a 50c box. It helped my little boy so much I got a box for each of the family, and now we are all well of that awful trouble. Hunt's Cure will cure itch in a short time if you will go by directions. We had it in its worse form aDd used Hunt's Cure and are now all well. Thanks to A. P. Richards Medicine Co., of Sherman, Texas, manufacturers of such healing medicine. Mrs. J. W.
