Wedding Etiquette. - The parents of the bride are suppooed to furnish everything for the groom?in otner words, they have to pay the bill for decorating the church or home, for the wedding feast and the invitations. Also for the carriages, except the one that brings the groom and his best man. The groom f ornishes the ring and the license and?last, but not least? himself. In some communities the groom also buys the bouquet for the bride and she sends him and the best man the tiny sprays of flowers they are to wear at; the ceremony. It seems that the burden of expense rests with the^bride's father, but he is usually satisfied to put up for all these "fixtures" if it ends there. At least it is not considered good form to call upon him for a few months! And it is better to postpone the time many months farther along if nothing very alarming'happens to you, and the little plans for meeting living expenses hold good. Parents are more apt to feel inclined tc 3lp, if they see that the young foiks are trying to liye within their means; but the man who has had to make alljhis own money usually thinks that his daughter's husband ought to be in a position to support himself.'and wife. Thejhelp young married people expect should be from the necessity of long illness, or some other unforeseen circumstances, and not from the desire to "fly before the learn how to walk." A rich man made the remark that his daughters expected to start in with as much a9 he and his wife had now, after many years of work and saving. I am inclined to think he was right.? Poily Padget.

JOB SHUMPERT, Proprietor. iltt AN APOLOGY. ' YOUNGSTER, turn your baby eyes Here while I apologize. My misgivings won't disguise The longer, more's the pity! It's a parent's duty, dear. To confess and make it clear Why we bought and brought you here, To rear you in the city. Yonder where the smiling sky Meets the trees that tower high There the velvet meadows lie. They're made for little children. Tinted with the bloom of rose Pink as baby's pinkest toes? Oh, so many blooms of those. They're perfectly bewilderin'! Where the skies and maples meet Pathways soft to baby's feet Lead away to woodlands sweet For little tads to stray in. And the bees they buzz and boom In the sweet unsuckled bloom. And there's not a thing but room For little tads to play in. Sloping banks of velvet fine Tinted gold with dandelion Lead to where the waters shine, And little fellows wade in; Dirt as clean as honeycombNot the kind we have at home, But just the softest kind of loam? < For little tads to spade in. 11 But I fear that I digress. I Now, my son, with much distress And misgivings I confess Your rearing in the city, : Where there are no meadows, no Place for little tads to go i Only on the pavement?oh. The pity, pity, pity! i Maybe it was just because Loneliness came over us (Frequently, you know, it does) Who left the fields behind us, And perhaps we longed for two Baby eyes of china blue, Such as those you're beaming through. To look at and remind us. ?John D. Wells in Buffalo News. _ Just Supposin'.

Jim Mann was on liis way back from Chicago and coundn't help hearing the conversation of the couple in the section right behind his. They looked like newly married folk, but were not on their honeymoon, as Mann learned by deduction. The woman laid down a newspaper she had been reading and said to her husband: "Do you know, I wish I had one of these affinities. Oh, I think it would bo just g-r-a-n-d to sit on a rock with somebody and have him rave about the incomparable golden color of my hair and tell me that my eyes were the most beautiful in the whole world, and"? "Ub, huh," said the husband, yawninsr. "And that the delicate pink of my cheeks had been painted there by the angels, and that he couldn't live without me. O-h, I think an affinity like that would be"? "'Tisn't an affinity you want," interrupted the husband. "What you seem to want is a plain old fashioned liar."?National Monthly. Premature. A certain company promoter once built a castle on a mountain peak. As he showed the gray, medieval looking pile to a friend he said: "I don't know what to call it. What name do you advise?" "It looks like those Scotch castles in the highlands," said the friend. "Why not call it Dunrobin?" "Dunrobin? Dunrobin? Yes, that would be a good name," said the millionaire: "only, you see, I have no in tention of retiring yet" ? London Opinion. ?

How To Use The Drag. The Anderson Mail. The King split log drag is a good thing?when used intelligently. Dr. Jos. Hyde Pratt, the North Carolina good roads enthusiast who was here for the farmers' institute, says that the only road this piedmont country needs is the sand clay road, and the only road machinery necessary to keep up the road is the split log drag, costing about $3 each. Mr. G. Ward King, the inventor of this machine, writes to the Good Roads magazine: "Much trouble has been caused by persons who advise others to drag the earth road while it is muddy. The King drag does not give perfect satisfaction, as a rule, when 90 used. In fact I have known of many instances where a trial of that plan has so disgusted a man that he has thrown up the whole job and declared it a fake. The proper time to drag the earth road is when the soil is 'moist but not wet enough to fasten itself to the slabs of the drag.' "The idea of using the King drag when the mud is like mortar is a seriously mistaken one. I trust you will assist me in correcting it." Every earth road in South Carolina should be given a treatment with the split log drag. The result would be surprising. Farmers9 Institutes. Clemson Agricultural College and the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration work of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have combined their field forces, and the Farmers' Institutes to be held this summer will be under the auspices of these two organizations. me special Agent 01 tne Fanners' Cooperative Demonstration work in each county will have charge of the arrangements for institutes in his county.

Kaufmann Drug Co. Breakfast in bed is about the same as a brisk walk in a sleeping car. The way for a man to please his wife is to make her think she is pleasing him. It's pretty hard to tell from his looks whether a multi-millionaire is a ferret or a bulldog. One of the chief pleasures a man gets out of smoking an old pipe is nobody wants him to. Farms For Sale.
