[ (By a Member c
Mm erery member of the League I
fetaa down to the ra'road station 1
?]? ? the Station committed began j
work? The piles of bottles, tin cans, ,
ani rubbish of all kinds have been removed,
the grounds well cleared, and j
hedges, rines, and flowers planted; t(
all this giring promise of an attxac- J
tire station in the near future.
The work in the cemetery continues, |J
the Decoration committee and the >(
Trees committee are following up the!1
work of the Cleaning committee; andi?
this week a volunteer committee arej?
giving their attent'on to the sidewalks,'
surrounding the cemetery. They are,'
is bad condition, particularly at thei?
back, near the Confederate monu- (
But where there is a perfect tangle i?
f vines and bushes; when all this 1
is tleared away and the sidewalks 1
cleaned it will add much to the ap- (
gearance of the Interior. J
There are two town laws which I
wosld like to call to your attention
as they are being disregarded by '
wan*; first, that referring to keeping chickens
in one's own yard. There 1
is nothing which has added more to 1
the appearance of our town than the ;c
removal of fences from the front 1
yards; some replaced them with low *
hedges?and some have simply the ?
open yard into which stray chickens '
may enter at will. 1
Now it is very discouraging to have f
ose's flowers scratched up by neigh- *
tor's chickens and I am going to ask
all poultry raisers to pay careful attention
to this matter. Build the '
fence enclosing your poultry so high '
that the fowls cannot fly over It and '
pat weights to your gates so that the *
errand boy cannot leave them open. (
L*t us do nothing to discourage our *
neighbors who are trying to beautify
their grounds, but instead, help them
ia every way possible. t
i
The second thing I would call to (
your attention is the habit so many
kare of hitching horses tv trees; particularly
are our young trees being t
thus abused. s
. P'ease bear in mind the fact that 1

To live uncomplaiuingly for thiity
years under suspicion of having committed
a crime of which he was not
gallty must demand an infinate amount
of patience, courage, hope and several
taker good qualities. Yet this is what |
a man has done who a generation ago :
was suspected of having robbed the
ails of several thousand dollars.
That the circumstantial evidence was
very strong against him but served to t
make the burden heavier that he was 4
carying. Now that his innonce has t
been proved it convoys two lessons, ^
?ae of whick is that men should never I
ymoH- when thmr onnsripnpft ta I
clear, and the other is that it should J1
lead people to be very charitable in j 1
their judgement even when the evi- ]
denee of guilt seems so strong. 1

t Notwithstanding the fact that the "5
present season has witnessed the
i highest prices ever paid for mules in t!
this county; the demand in Chester- a
field county for the long-eared work 1
r animal has been greater than ever a
before. It now costs almost as much 1
5 to buy a pair of good mules as a small '
I house and lot. Numerous sales of good 0
mules for $750 have been recorded in a
the past few weeks, and a cottage u
' with huneysucker vines thrown in for
good measure is not much more ex- P
pensive. * 8
"Why are mules so high, any way?" 11
This is a question that the public has
been asking. One answer is that the n
Spanish-American war is responsible. n
A heavy draft was made on the Country's
mule stock at that time and since
then the supply has not been equal T
to the demand.
Just before the Spanish-American
} war a good mule could be bought in '
" this section and elsewhere in the
South for $100, and previous to that
' the price was sometimes as low as $75 ?
r Nowadays a good mule cost from $250 '!
to $300 and sometimes $400.

the old fashioned definition that "love

In a church which could be named
be pastor was dceirous of bringing
bout in a tactful way, some imp-ovenent
in the mid-wcck service, and
.nnouueed for a subject "The Ideal
'rayer Meeting," A number of helpul
suggestions had been made, when
ne brother known to be harmless as
dove if not wiser than a serpent, got
p and said:
I think everybody should come pre- ^
ared to say something so that no time ?_
hould be lost except that which
i taken up by the^iitBtOT; * " 1 ? ^
As he was known to be a great adlirer
of the pastor, the gravity of the
leeting was somewhat disturbed.
