Young Girl Swimmer
Makes New Record.

the 16-year-old 9wimmer of Boston,
succeeded tonight in her attempt to

Manhatten, to Coney Island. Last

fort because of adverse tides, but today,
although forced at times to swim
so far out of her course that she is estimated
to baye covered some 21 miles
in making the distance of 18 miles, she
finished strong, actually sprinting as
she neared the goal.
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.
Several swimmers have made the trip
frcm the Battery to Ooney Island, but
none from a point so far up the East
river.
Take This Trip.
The Georgia & Florida Railway will
operate an excursion from Augusta on
u?xt Tuesday, Aug. 22nd, to South
Georgia. This is to be a "Home seekers'
Excursion, and the trip will carry
you through some of the finest lands
in Georgia. Whether vou are seeking
a home or not, the trip will be worth
many times what it will cost you.
Bead the big display ad. elsewhere
and do not fail to go. A trip like this
will not be offered again soon.
Annual Farmers Meeting.
We will hoM our annual farmers'
meeting at Hilton on August 29th.
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.
Ice Cream Festival.
There will be an ice cream festival
for the benefit, of the church at Irene
on Saturday night. The Irene brass
band will furnish music and the public
is cordially invited.

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

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.

thousands of back sufferers in Lexington
are glad to learn that prompt relief
is 'within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills.
Oar citizens are telling the good news
of their experience with the old Quaker
remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
Mrs. EUa V. Corley, R. F. D. 6, Lexington,
S. C., says:
./'Loan's Kidney Pills helped me a
great deal when I had kidney trouble
some years ago and at that time I gave
a public statement in which I told of
my experience. I got my supply of
Doan's Kidney Pills from the Kaufmann
Drug Oo. and was relieved
through their use of pains across the
small of my back and a distressing difficulty
with the kidnej' secretions."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Mil burn Co., Buffalo,

Mrs. John W. Pitchford of Aspen,

I will always use Hunt's Cure for
itching trouble, and tell all I see about
it. 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.
