The oil mill at Jefferson has

after a successful season.
Read our special offer on the
last page and tell your neighbor

to borrow yours.

Friday afternoou about the
time or soon after the tornado
was raging in Marlboro and
Darlington green . leaves and
small twigs were seen falling
here when the air was almost
still.
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.
These are well known young (?)
people who have many friends
to join in best wishes for all the
happiness they expect. Mr.
Evans will still hold his position
as saleman for Mr. H. B. Sowell.

Mr. John B. Brown, of Middendorf,

and was buried at the Campbell
burying ground on the 4th, Rev.
J. D. Purvis conducting the ser
vice. He was about 70 years
old and was the father of 17
children, 12 of whom are living
in this countj\ He was married
3 times and the last wife survives.
He was a Confederate
veteran, and was held in high
esteem by a host of relatives and
acquaintances.
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.

The Child's Problem.
fouth's Companion
"You don't know what a probem
that child is!" said a tired
nother to her caller. "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

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."

/\ very serious cyclone swept
through a portion of this community
last Friday about 2:30
p. m. followed by a heavy rainfall,
the latter was appreciated
by-the farmers, as it is bringing
up tile seeds. No damage was
done by the cyclone except
among timber.

man who voted against "Good

it, whether they say so or not.
