Make any kind of excuse to get acquainted writh him. He end you are membefs of one community, with common interests. You no doubt have ideas in common that you would like to help put over. Better find out who he is. and make friends with him. The same principle applies to the women folks in their meetings with their own sex. Whether the men should speak to the women and the women to the men, is a question of social ethics that Can be referred to the etiquet editors. But anyway a town where people get well acquainted makes a very pleasant impression for its cordiality and good feeling,' and it is easier to organize progressive movements there. girls, Julia and Mary Ellen, of Whit- m the First church auditorium.

In other words, those who had raised their own food and stock feed, or had been able to market poultry and dairy products, had also been able to pay their doc tor’s bill. And by the same token had been able to pay their other bills, without doubt. Spring will soon be here. The de cisions the farmer makes, regarding what he will raise next season will materially affect his condition next fall. Will he profit by the experience of those who have succeeded through diversification, or will he stick to the old poverty-breeding one-crop plan? His doctor and other creditors will be interested in this question. The framer should take an interest in it himself. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ En Passant« W. W.

GIVING The following paragraph is taken from Sunday’s issue of The Index- Journal: “Although very small in mem bership the congregation of the Greenwood Associate Reformed Presbyterian church perhaps paid more per capita for all church purposes last year than any church in town. This congrega tion has only 65 members, only 50 of whom are resident, and it paid last year to all purposes a total of $2,500, or an average of nearly $40 a member.’’ Here is a record to be proud of. These Greenwood Reformed Presbyte rians have set an example that few churches can equal in their per capita worship of giving. Churches every where, regardless of denominations, are finding it difficult to raise prop er funds fon their causes, and many people* far more than one might ex pect, are perfectly willing to attend church services and enjoy their wor ship privileges without contributing to the support of the work. But not so with these Greenwood Psalm-sing ers. There are few more loyal or devout church people than the A. R. P.’s, and Unlike a great many other folks, they take their giving seriously. While we do not have the information, we are not afraid to venture a prediction that regardless of the fine record of this Greenwood congregation, it can be matched or even excelled by the little band of faithful A. R. P.’s in our city who have as their splendid leader, the Rev. C. Bynum Betts. Eggs are reported much cheaper, but you would never know it if you happen to land in a restaurant. There’s this advantage to building air castles—you won’t have to pay taxes on them. The early bird used to get the worm, and now he has to hustle to get a place to park his car. Another nice thing about bobbed hair is that you can be sure there isn’t a rat in it. Some one wants to know what a quandary is. That’s what the legisla ture is in. Money talks, and sometimes i^ in duces a minister to accept a call to a new church. We chronicle with deep regret the death of young Jayruffe Kennedy. His death was very sudden, resulting from pneumonia contracted in his night work as operator at the Seaboard of fice. Jayruffe was a bright and in dustrious boy and was popular with >oung and old alike. The A. R. P. church building is to be ceaioated in August, all debts paid. We congratulate the brethren, they are a year or two ahead of us in our dedication. The death of Mr. W. T. Vance on the 2Sth of April, was not only a severe bereavement to a happy householu but was a loss to the Presbyterian church, of which for many years he had been a member. He had been waiting, watching for his summons, and that without fear. Life was sjuveet te him, notwithstanding his physical trials, an^l his life amnog us was sweet to us also.

The man who lets the hypocrites keep him out of church is respectfully reminded that there are hypocrites in hell, too. A Chicago man was sent to an asy lum because he had a passion for go ing around in c’rcles without getting anywhere. They might have sent him to the legislature. IMPROVE THE SERVICE A news item of interest in today’s paper is the announcement that the Southern Bell Telephone Company i» soon to bo located in a handsome new home on South Broadway, designed and built expressly for their busi ness. The building will bs an addition to the town and will greatly improve their-local facilities for doing business. The matter of improved telephone service for Clinton should be pressed just at this time following the an nouncement of the leasj of a new building in the city. For a long, long time the company ha ; been promising improved service here, and yet the re lief has never come. The old anti quated system of “ringing the beir’j should be 4‘scanled and a modern ser vice installed in keeping with other towns similar to ours. We suppose it is contemplated by the company to improve its service with the erection of its new home, and thia matter should be presented to the-pruper au thorities and diligently pushed. The “party line” service now offered here is somewhat of a nuisance and should likewise go. Clinton, both in local and long distance business, contri butes a large volume to the Southern Bell Company, and in turn, they should give the community the very best service possible to which we are entitled by the rates we are being re quired to pay. We congratulate the telephone peo ple on their move for a new home here. Let them include in that plant an equipment that will improve their local service and contribute to their mutual benefit and the public in like measure. ;* o Ten billion more cigarettes were consumed by American people in 1926 than in‘The year before, which is an average) of two per day for every man, wbman and child in the United States. Have you had your two to day ? OPINIONS ARE LIKE RIPPLES Opinions are like ripples. How long they last depends upon the surface on which they appear. The mind of the individual who holds the opinion is the surface whose character determines its lasting qual ity. Think over your friends. Some change their opinions continuously, other with great infrequency. Y'ou have seen many kinds of rip ples—ripples on water, ripples on sand, ripples on ice, and ripple marks in solid limestone. All are duplicated in the minds of men. On water, ripples alter with each succeeding breath; in stone they change only with the orosion of years. One type of mind is fluid; another concrete. The first is plastic but unretentive; the second is retentive but unchang ing and indurate. One changes its opinions too fre quently; the other not frequently enough. In a general way these two charac teristics of mind represent two stages | of life. , In youth the tendency is to change our options too often. j : fn old age the tendency is to change , I- them too seldom. ^Youth is a time for ripples on wa- <! tor. It is a time for alternating,) changing open-mindedness, for a sort H. D. HENRY F. M. BOLAND H. D.

Jacobs, Editor Old age is a tirhe when the ripples of opinion seem marked in stone. They are fixed. They alter only | after long erosion by contrary evi- , dence. Both attitudes are off balance. One 1 leans too far forward, the other too far back. Between the two extremes is the happy mean. Of the tw r o attitudes the one that can be most controlled is that of so lidity. Little can be done to change the attitude of the mind of youth, and! is IB B B 1 1 Dr. W. A.

There is some objection to the plan for enlarging the cemetery, the ob jection coming from the board of health. The church is perfectly will ing for the council to move in the matter of a town cemetery, and does not feel at all in the matter, but it is evident that something has to be done and done quickly. But open-mindedness is a habit thtt can be cultivated. “A new truth is a truth and an old error is an error,” is a good motto for advancing years. The new Presbyterian church is growing rapidly and will soon be a handsome and completed building.
