A writer in a farm publication says: “No century has ever seen such a thing as rural extravagance.” . . . Ex travagance is as common in the coun try as in the towns. When a farmer buys more machinery than he needs, and lets it stand out in the weather when hot in use, what is that but ex travagance ? When he over-borrows at the bank, that is extravagance. When he spends more time in town than is necessary or profitable that is another exhibi tion of it. Farmers live too economical ly so far as food and housing go, and are too extravagant with agents, and in the use of their working hours. We sympathize with farthers because their calling ii tiot very profitable. This is true of many others. Teachers and preachers are worse paid than farmers. There are millions of clerks not so well paid as farmers, and fac tory employees everywhere are ap pealing to the government and public as well as he treats us Mrs. Phil Sessions and children of | Babb of Laurens, are visiting Mr. and Lips- j Mrs. Weldon Leaman.

She said all the man’s relatives, friends, and acquaintances were in league to keep him away from whiskey but that he could go into any strange commu nity anywhere on earth without funds, and within a few hours secure all the whiskey he wanted, and be howling drunk. . . Often the needful things | may not be had for love or money, but i whiskey and pistols seem to be within reach of anyone wishing to use them. Mrs. Miller Pinson.

The first should be the agony and danger the best of wives suffer, the second, the inevitable disposition of men to be less thoughtful as husbands than as lovers. Such information is gross and materi al, but young girls are entitled to know what they are stepping into when they put on wedding dresses. Two Arrests [walking.

We know how to wash and grease an automobile, and we do it We DO NOT wash your car in the sun. The makers of lacquer will tell you that washing a car in the sun is the worst thing that can be done.
