The flies seem to be more numerous

Two farmers met the other day in

Even the Lord can not please everybody
at the same time, so what's the
use for a preacher or a newspaper
man, or anyone else, trying to do the
impossible. A good way is, do
right according to your dictates, and
do your best, let it please or displease.
You have noticed that the agency

power plant in this county has been

This is one of the best things
going. If people generally knew the
advantages in labor saving and expense
reducing to be had by the "Silent
Alamo" these plants would be
thick throughout the country.
The medal for the best drilled boy j

Griffin, who has finished her twelfth
succe<*~ive year as teacher of the -

beautiful silver vase by the school as
a token of the esteem in which she is
held because of her faithful service
and exemplary life." A well deserved
compliment worthily bestowed.

A Pretty Little Romance.
"How Nellie Met Her Fate," would
be a good title for a moving picture.
During the recent contest through;
The Herald and News Miss Nellie
McCarey, or that was her name then,
was on her way to Greenwood to
solicit subscriptions for the paper,
working for one of the prizes; at
which she was successful. On the
train was a gentleman who became i
I so attracted by the beauty and grace j
I of the young lady that he just had j
I to smile. She saw the smile, which j
encouraged the smilee to approach
the'smiler, the same being in her,
legitimate line of business at that
time. Says "Miss Nettie*' very!
pleasantly to the interested passenger:
"it will cost you something to.
smile at me like that; I am taking!
subscriptions for The Herald and
News."
It worked like a charm. With!
another and a longer smile the!
traveler handed the charming younglady
$10. telling her to, send the j
paper to whomsoever she wanted to '
have them.
Our readers know the rest, how thi
winning: ways won, and everything
because in the last issue of this pape
it was related that the bride am
groom, after the marriage ceremon;
had gone on their honeymoon trip
the bride in this cdse being "Mis
Nellie'' and the groom Mr. Rolam
B. Focht, traveling out of Akron
Ohio.
