Hats off to Jefferson. We learn that our neighbor, the Jefferson school district has gotten ahead of us and possibly ahead of all other districts in our large county in that they have put into effect the law requiring school attemlence of all children who can atu mi, we are told that nearly 20'! qualified electors Lh?.? trustees pfesented it to them. Now wh > would have thought that even Jefferson would have gotten ahead of Pageland in this matter? Of course we do not claim our neighbor town to be backward, but in this one particular we were delightfully surprised when we learned that the compulsorv school attendence law?the every child's friend? had been made operative. Now we thought pretty well oi our jenerson netgnoors oefore but we think better still of them now. They manifest a sympathy for the needy child, and are undertaking to help it. Well, we'll he able to say that for Pageland "'fore long," we hope. We an? waking up now out of sleep and just as soon as we rub our eyes, bathe our faces, and eat a little breakfast, then we'll sign the petition which our trustees will Have around soon. We know our trustees are as unselfish and care as inucli for the neglected children as do the trustees elsewhere, and we believe that they j will see to this matter before it is "everlastingly" too late Let everybody bear in mind the fact that morning does not come in I'ageland as soon as it does in some places on the earth and therefore we gei up later, but when we do start we get there and don't you forget it. ?Interested Citi/.en.

Two small boys i were having a somewhat rough ; struggle, and wnen one received j an unexpected liard blow he exclaimed: "II you don't watch out you'll end up in a place that begins with 11 and ends with L!'

Slightly Mixed Two correspondents wrote to a New Kngland country editor desiring to know, respectively, "the best way of assisting twins through the teething" and "how to rid an orchard of grasshoppers." The editor answered both questions faithfully, but, unloi innately, got the initials mixed, so that the fond father of the teething twins was thunderstruck | by the following advice: "If you are unfortunate enough to be plagued by these unwelcome little pests, the quickest wav of settling them is to cover them with straw and set it on fire." The other man, who was bothered with grasshoppers* was equally amazed to read: " The best method of treatment is to give each a warm bath twice a day, and rub their gums with India rubber."?Kx.
