Florence Times. If two heads are better than one, it did not prove so in this case, but nevertheless this is a real two-headed creature that we are going to speak about. Mr. C. M. Grimsley brought to The Times office this morning a little dead abicken with two well developed heads and a well formed body and legs. The biddie belonged to a brood of eigfct, seven of which hatched out alive and healthy, but the eighth egg did not hatch and when it was broken *?

Sometimes a double yolk egg will develop two biddies, but they are usually grown together. This is the strangest freak of nature that fcas been seen in this section in some time.. 1 > <? <e> the idler . <?> <?> <$<$$<?><$>?<?><$><?><?><$><?><$>?><$><$><$ I read the following in some news paper the other day, and it is so full j of the good old common sense that I want to pass it on to those of this community who feel like that knocker of the town referred to. If we could get out of Newberry every fellow who had given expression to sentiments like those quoted, it would be a good thing for Newberry. Now, you Just stop, look and listen, as President TT : i. ~ J - ~ -U 4- ! narnstra says lu uu auuuu tut; gi<a.uc crossings of the railroads and you will her.r some wise guy pretty soon say something like this: "I ought to have sense enough to leave this blamed old town," or may be he will say that, "I should hav^fad sense enough to have left this blamed old town long ago." You will generally* find that these fellows are the drones^ on the communi ty who never do anything to help the town, and wT:o have never done anything for the community. But here is the little paragraph to which I had reference: " 'I ought to have sense enough to quit this blamed town," said a chronic knocker the other day. We promptly offered to supply the sense and the transportation, but the sucker is stiil here." And now wi':.en you hear some one in this community make a similar remark you just do what this newspaper editor says he offered the fellow in .that town. The sooner this toyn can set rid of such fellows the better for tfce town. ?o? It is just like I said aforetime, what we need here is a spirit bf optimism. Why do you know that a half dozen fellows telling some healthy and ^ell man every day that He is looking awfully bad and asking him wiiat's the matter with him, will soon put him to bed. You want to help the fellows of this town to set the right sort of music to the words of tJ-eir lives and to tel> them that God furnishes the words, but the music must be furnished by each individual, and whether tfce song shall be glad or sweet or sad all depends upon 'them. And listen, read these two brief stanzas and then go off and make a glad sweet song of your life: { ' -ft. "Our lives are songs; God writes the words, And we set thetf to music at pleasure; s And the song grows glad, or sweet, or sad, As we d.oose to fashion the measure. "We must write the music, whatever the song, Whatever its rhyme or meter: And if it is sad, we can make it glad, Or if sweet, we can make it sweet er." I don't generally make it a practice to print things unless I know who sends them, but sometimes when it is a clipping I do not mind printing it even if I do not know who tlie sender is. I 'have received through the mail in an Envelope addressed to Idler the following. I do not exactly know whether ti. is is a compliment to me or whether it is intended otherwise. 1 do not know whether it is meant for me to understand that in the estimation of the sender of tihe clipping that I am a crank or a live wire, or w'neth er I have intelligent and original ideas, or whether the contrary is intended. But it makes no difference to me what people think or say, as I have said several times iberetofore. I consider myself, a progressive citizen and a live * ? ?

Appreciation of this class of citizen, like cfcarity, should begin at home. I know also that appreciation does not begin at home, of such labor a's I have been rendering to this community, but neither does that concern me. I would like for some of the tight wads of tlMs town to read this. Rec"rmi + r\f morif Ar\ac /->/vmp first OWflV V/X iUV^A At UV/VW MAWV C* *' from home. I aln not a prophet and never claimed to be, though sometimes I think I can see as far through a mill stone as any one else, and sometimes ?well it does no good to tell some peoi ' \ . . * pie what you see on the other side.

[ A community, a province, a state becomes prominent by the acts of its progressive citizens. By their example civic pride is born. It should be the pride and, ambition of every citizen of a state to accomplish something that will permit him to realize that j he is one of the factors in its welfare I and progress, it fte is convinced 01 i his lack of usefulness, and concludes he has, no influence that would aid, ti en at least it should be his duty to help boost those that have the true spirit of" progress and upbuilding. Charitv. it is said, begins at home. So should appreciation of progressive citizens. The man who develops an enterprise tl at becomes unusually prominent, mainly because of original ideas and intelligent application of good methods, should be encouraged and congratulated at home.

"Indirect artificial lighting has long been in use, and recently there has developed a movement for increasing the effect of daylig' t by means of white enamel. For this purpose a white, oil-proof enamel that will not turn yellow if kept clean, is used, both the celling of the shop and tne macnines memselves being painted with this material. It is reported that remarkable results in the way of better lighting an J the elimination of shadows are obtained in this way."
