General Green is taking up his march and the battle will be on in a few more days. The battle will be hard fought, but the old enemy can hardly expect victory over the sturdy hosts who will face him with hoes, plows, harrows, weeders, etc. Mr. Henry H. Evans and Mrs. Nancy Faulkenbury were mar ried Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. McRae at Crowburk by Rev. J. W. Quick.

The recent rains have done a wonderful amount of good to small grain in this section and have brought up much cotton that otherwise would not have been up. A fair crop of oats seems assured and wheat is doing very well. Most farmers in the sand have stands of cotton and corn and the clay-land farmers have fair stands of cotton, but little corn has been planted. Mr. T. H. Burch, of Ruby, bought the W. T. Edgeworth stock of goods at the bankrupt sale Monday. The recent in1 ventory showed the stock and fixtures to be worth something more than sixteen hundred dollars. Mr. Burch bought for six hundred and thirty-seven dollars. The stock will be combined with the stock recently opened up in the Joseph storeroom and Mr. W. T. Edgeworth will have charge of the combined stock.

"I punish! ler and scold her until I am. 'airly ashamed of myself. Then: ler lather takes her in hand, 3nlv to make matters worse., What can I do?" So much for the mother side. No doubt her child does present a problem that looks hard lo sol\^e. All parents know how it is. But what of the greater problem that the father and the mother presents to the child? If we could put the child's owh thoughts into words, we should probably get something like this: "What a world of per! plexity and coniradition? How can I ever learn anything helpful from father or mother? Last night they scolded me because I didn't eat when I wasn't hungry: this forenoon they spanked me because I ate when I was hungry. They send me out to ?plav when I am sleepy, and put mi to bed when I want to go out.' Father often tells me to db something that mother forbidit Neither of them sticks to the days. I have to suffer in twV from their love, their ignorah<? and their digestion. Whatpai ? uug iu a v^llllU, Willi 113 CUifeB ly active mind groping everjl where and grasping at everything in its effort to learn thSe ways of life, the parents are often a problem that fills his young heart with discouragement and despair?a problem that leads him to cultivate (a "goodness" that is the result df fear* and a "badness" that is toe product of example and environment. If parents would honestly try once in a while to get the point of view of the child, how much more reasonably they would exercise their authority! And i how it would simplify their own task to recognize that the child too, faces a big problem! tThe Watered-Milk Cure. Seigneur Jacques de Teuxel f Ambert, in France, who lived in the fifteenth century, was evidently a pioneer of the pure food movement. According to the London Chronicle, he took drastic and novel measures .tgainst the adulterators of food in his domain. In a decree issued in 1481, he directed that "a funnel shall be placed in the mouth of any man or woman convicted of having sold water ed milk, and the said watered milk shall he poured down the funnel until such time as a doctor shall declare that the culprit :annot be made to swallow any more without danger of death," The seller of impure butter was to be put in the pillory, 'when the butter shall be crushid upon his head, and shall remain there until the sun shall lave melted it."

No damage was done by the cyclone except among timber. We have already heard one man who voted against "Good Roads" say he regretted it. No doubt many others will regret it, whether they say so or not. A milch cow belonging to Mr. W. A. Steen dieu last week^ Her weight was esti mated at 700 lbs and she was worth $50.00.
