man soon got used to it, and did not

says that these were not to be com

hearsals.

A w^le variety of sandwiches may

sandwich. Egg with mayonnaise is de
licious.
Waxed paper is so inexpensive that
you have little reason not to be fairly
generous with it. It is a good plan to
place each sandwich in a separate
piece of waxed paper and other things,
like cake and deviled eggs, should
likewise each have their individual
piece of waxed paper.

visional grmy, there are only'four liv
ing today. These are; George M. Han
na, Cross Hill; Ben P. Templeton, Del
Valle, Travis coun^, Texas; Ned P.
Blakely, Gurdon, Clark county, Ark.;
and Mr. Dendy. Every year on August
19 a reunion is held at Langston
church, this date being the anniver
sary of the company’s organization.
Mr. Dendy married Miss Margaret
Jane Templeton of I.auijn.;, in 18G9,
and to this union five children were
born, two of whom, Margaret Eliza-
het^h ami' Eugene Wilkerson, are de
ceased. The others are; Mrs. Downs
Casey, of Woodruff; Mrs. Minnie Law
rence and Whitfield Clark Dendy, of
Greenville. Since Mrs, Dendy’s death
in 1891, Mr. Dendy has made his home
with his daughter.
During his life he has been a suc
cessful farmer and carpenter, and
while he says he has not fully retired
yet, being able to assist in the chores
around the house.
Mr. Dendy’s personal appearance
would deceive a person into thinking
that he was a much younger man. He
reads well without glasses hut says
he has used them for the past lU
.years to read fine print, and has the
use of all his faculties. He is a most
interesting conversationalist and is|
up <m -the Hjupstinns "of today, having''
kept up with the times by reading the
daily newspapers. He meets the ru
ral mail carrier at the box every,
morning to get his mail for the day, i
and to discuss the news. Rheumatism
has slowetl up .Mr. Dendy’s pace, but:
has not dimmed his interest in things
around him. i
Mr. Dendy has a fine philosophy:
for a successful life, that of “if you
have a job to do, go at it cheerfully
and like to do it, and soon it will be I
finsihed.” The.''.e are four things that j
.Mr. Dendy never meihiles with, which j S
would be a fine example for all of us
to follow: ‘‘.\ man’.s religion, politic.s,

Card of Thanks
We wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for their many expressions
of kindness and courtesies at the
death of our dear wife and mother.
Your thoughtfulness and kind sym
pathy in our dark hour was a great
comfort, and will never be forgotten.
We wish we could express our feel
ings and appreciation, but it Is impos
sible. We can only ask for God’s rich
est lilessings upon each one of you.
Frank H. Boozer and Children.
Dear Good People:
Pretty nearly every Sunday paper — surely all the
monthly magazines — ^
Contain stories of the buying of new luxuries and
thrills by our wealthiest American families —
Vast estates, yachts,, glorious 'round-the-world-

All those luxuries rpost of us will probably never en

But there is one luxury within the literal reach of
all — one luxury the millionaire cannot call his exclusive
own — one luxury we all owe to ourselves —
Deep, comforting, happy sleep.
Our word for it that we have promoted more good
health and more happiness in this man’s town than you
can credit to the average man or organization —
Through having urged people to buy sleep equip
ment which will deliver them better sleep ihan they
have been accustomed to.
You’d be surprised how many people do not know the
importance, the vital necessity, of this trinity of com-
A relaxing, yielding, luxurious MATTl^SS —a^

Once they do, through demonstration by us, they are
grateful to us for life. That’s a fact.
Taking it for granted that you do know their impor
tance, won’t you give us the pleasure — soon — of show
ing some of our latest received stock of Simmons Sleep
Equipment?
Your visit will be well repaid.
