"WJhat you have done for Milton A. Carlisle, of Newberry, is highly appreciated. The remainder is so small j that t VAonAst. not. so much on his i own account, but for his good Christian wife, his children and his little grandchildren, and to save them from the stain of the disgrace, that you issue parole, so chat the name may not f have to be entered upon the penitentiary records.

Or maybe arrange playgrounds for the children. All very good and commendable, i am really sorry for people who are n-e^r sighted and some who are blind. I c'.on't mean a physical defect when I refer to near sightedness, or blindness, for I would not parade the physical defects of a.ay one, and, by the way, some of those who have this sort of blindness can see further through a mill stone than any one you ever saw with good eyesight Well, I was just thinking about the civic association and what it could have accomplished since I have been I helping it, for the past several years, if it just had the pluck to go ahead arid do things. I am not criticizing, and am not personal, because I do not know who the officers are, nor who the members are, nor how much mon-j ey the organization has on hand, but^ I do know that if any number of good women, such as we have in Newberry, would only band themselves togeth-er and determine to do something worth while there is nothing could stop them, and they would soon have the men interested and at work, but it takes determination and bull dog tenacity to do things in this town. What I started out to say is if only the association would take aold of something worth while, such as a park for the town,- if they had don-e so since 1 1 ?? r\ KaII 4" it thp We I13V6 06611 LiliMug auuui> xvj ww park would have been built. I hate to see the old town go backward and the people pulling apart instead of together. 0, well, what's the use. It is not all worflh while to worry about, and I am not worrying, but I will tell you now and then how it strikes me, and let me assure^you that it makes nn difference to me whether you act on my suggestions, or take them seriously or not. I can get out of this town as quick as any of these fellows that are going off, but I am going to. stay right here, and the next time you hear from me I will be right here at tLe same old place. There is one thing worth while mentioning, there is no place on top the globe, or underneath the spreres, where a rumor derogatory to one of the citizens will traivel any faster or gather force as it goes more rapidly, j Tho niH thr^p hi ark crows story that you used to read in the blue back j speller is/ not a circumstance and is | absolutely obsolete in this rapid transit town, g.nd I don't think I ever saw a place where there were so many good people who took delight in keeping an unkind remark traveling, and seeing "hcfw' fast it could travel. The speed lust of the fastest motorcyclist is not a small circumstance. The only way I can account for it is that I we have so many ladies ana geuue- i men of leisure they have to give attention to their neighbors. But what's the use. ^et's talk about something else. I was trying to sleep a little the other day right after a fairly good dinner?I mean good for me?and the flies wer very annoying and I was wondering why the fly. Why the gnat. Why the other annoying insects. Everything was created for a purpose. I was thinking about the good old days before the war when we had the flies and the old fashioned peafowl fly brush. And the good lady of the house would hold the baby in one arm and swing the old fly brush and eat dinner as best she could, and you never heard her complain. And you never heard about the germs and the bacteria and that sort of ^hing. and people lived just about as long as they do now. Now we swat the fly and we screen the hou?e arid we buy flies by the peck and we must get rid of them. I see some fellow has invented a fly trap that will catch them by the peck. While I was trying to sleep and fighting the fly at the same tim-e, I thought the fiy was put here to keep me from sleping in the day time, and then I read the following apostrophee to the fly, and I said, well. Oh, fly! oh, pesky fly, with eye full keen, Thou art enough to cause one suicide, As thou doth every means to thwart' 1 thee quite deride And laaughest at the swatter and the screen, Oh, fly, bowed down with cholera and the pip, Thy buzz does bring distraction to our ears 'And to our ey-es the brine and salty tears. Is there no way to get thee on the hip And do thee and thy progeny up brown ? Oh, fly I thou curse of weather that is hot, In vain we sputter, fume and chase and swa't! And I said, all right fly. go it. I'll do the best I crfn, but swats and screens can't just yet keep you out, and you must be here for some purpose or you wouldn't be. What the purpose, I don't know. We are getting too curious anyhow. And then I read the following: "Seeker for Happiness, go as a pilgrim and find these: A child who is not curious, a man who is not greedy, and a woman who is not vain. When thou s;halt find these, thou wilt find f Happiness in their company." And I I concluded that it was about true. I would add a few more things necessary but another time. The Idler.

Then he came to London; where he hunted up two aged women named | White and handed out a gift from the 1 clear sky of about $500. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas will soon go to the continent.
