ICvery where the fly rnakcH itH path ho leaven a trail of germs behind him, often on food, which, being taken into the body, lay the foundation of numoroua <11 soahch. If your neighbor has a contagious disease and the files are allowed to Infest bin h/inie, they are likely to pay your houno a vIm11. bringing in with them thou sands of infectious germs on their sticky and numerous feet.

Kerosene oil and other ?\ terminants jhave been used in old wells, stngn'aitt pools and other hab itat h, with great effect. Hut prop er attention lulu never been given tl?e housefly, which, to our opinion, Ih more dangerous than the mosqul to. because more numerous and giv en less attention. We think it a duty the boards of health owe to tho people to con demn any places where the house fly may be raised. Unclean stables probably cause more flies than any other source. The people should remember that files do not raise lu the house, unless it is extremely filthy, they are raised in outhouses, stables, I rash piles, etc., and by the removal of the sources, a long step will be made toward their ex termination. They cannot live in clean places, they must depend up on the town's filth to survive Kveryone Is urged to begin at once a campaign against this dis ease provoking pest by keeping their premises in a sanitary condi tion. If every premise were so kept. In n few weeks thofe would be few flies to infest our homes.-? Aiken Sentinel.

We believe that the world in a good place and Is growing better. This world began with a garden and it is going to end with a garden. It's a pleasant place to live in and if we had been consulted as to which of the stars we should chooso for a habitation, we could not have clone better than to select this. We have always been glad that we got aboard this planet. It just suits us. To our mind the very best color of the universe for wa ter is blue; the very best shade for grass is green, and the wry best for water is a crystaline flash. The mountains arc just high e nough for me, the valleys just low enough, the rivers are just swift | euough. The human face is most wonderfully adapted for its uso with sunshine in its smile and tem pest in its frown, wi'h two eyes, one more than is necessary, so that if one is put out wo .-.till may H*?e the beautiful things Cod has plac ed around us; with one nose, most admirably arranged to take in tho sweet perfumes of earth Art. even at its best, may be justly criticised, but where is the blasphemer who would dare criticise ,the arch of the sky, or the crest j of a wave or the flock of fleecy clouds that the shepherd wind Is driving over the pastures of tho j sky. There is only one discord to a thousand harmonies. There is 'a whole sky full of robins to one hooting night owl, and to every de structive torrent there are hundreds i of placid streams with water lilies | anchored at their banks and stars l laying bright reflections to sleep in their bosoms.?Monticello News.

We were fortunate in securing a big lot of clothing from a manufacturer who needed the money so we got them cheap and will place these before our friends for this great June festival. It has been our experience that the best way to advertise and make trade is by giving values that are exceptional to an extreme degree. It would be folly indeed to advertise a "Special June Sale" and then not "deliver the goods." We do not care to disappoint our friends and be wasting money to advertise. Business has been and is good with us. What we want is more trade and to get this we are satisfied to bear a loss. Our loss on these great bargains we will charge to our advertising account and consider it a good investment. SHOE BARGAINS Lot No. 1 Children's White Oxfords, Sizes 6-1 0, worth from 75c to $ 1.
