Nobody's Business ' i inr Vh* ChiroiucU by Gee ; * McGee, Copyjrifht. 1987. :V ?* \ ' . . . Bsc uses And AUbis Ur, A Loude Speaker, D. J > , L. PH. D. K. S. V. P., pastor of wii^pLast Baptist church, recently V jHjt a questionsire to a few of his V.jjKtjnbers which read: "May 1 exf-Wftci you at church next Sabbath? Do ; V^u hold family worship?" The fol' lowing 6 replies came in due course: bV-y i1 >i v [ l. "I have bought me a Chevrolet, and must needs burn up the high ways next Sabbath, and cannot there fore come. We do not hold family I worship at the present writing as I I have a lame knee. A. Rounder." "V " H 2. "1 have married a wite, and I her mother-in-law lives with us, and I 1 cannot therefore come?as she is a , I Methodist, and we are planning to I visit the mountains to see the beauI tiful coloring of the woods and forests. We do not now hold famI ily prayer. I have a bad cold. * N. O. Goode." 3. "I have bought a house and I lot and must go prove them, and as I f work all week, I must needs rest I on the Sabbath, so 1 cannot come. We are planning to begin family worI ship just as soon as we make the I last payments on our car and piano I and radio and 6 rugs. I. M. Agoner." 4. "I am very nervous and can- ' I not come. All I hear is money, I money, money. Let the heathen rage H until I make better crops. No, I I don't hold family prayer. My family never is at home. A. Tuff Nutt, Jr." B.P "I hgve been invited to a pic- i nic and cannot come. However, I ( I will see that the wife and kids are . I there. I can't hear very good no- i how, and must needs conserve my . I ears. We don't hold family prayer I now as we are so close "to the rail- , I road we can't hear nothing. J. Fuller Bull." I 6. "Sorry, but I can't get there. I I have bought me a bird dog and I ' I must needs train him to retrieve, and you can therefore look for me to send you some nice birds at an ear y date. We uster have family wor fchip, but some of the younguns tore u> the Testament a few years ago, Hid we havn't anything to read ^mice then. I. M. feroak." Most of the chronic indigestion of oday is' attributed to a new disease, Htnown as "financial- ritis." This mal ady U caused by a germ lodgment in the base of the bruin of the brainless which keeps the patient mindful of the fact that he 'is either busted, or has 4 installments hanging over His car, or owes 5 past-due notes, or his wife has things charged to him. A good dose of bankruptcy is the only sure relief from this situation, Not long ago, our electric light company published the news far and near of a coming reduction in rates and a general adjustment of charges. These changes were made. My electric range rate A cut 22 cents a month, and my 2()n. F, motor rate was "adjusted" upward 22 dollars a month. Here's hoping that no further sympathy will be showered upon us in the future. About 95 per cent of the Ford yr^ecks of the past were brought about by reason of the facf that Mr. Ford being possessed of a spirit of economy, did not put any foot throtties on his lizzies, consequently? when drivers got into close places they could not use their head and hands in concert, and they therefore put 1 foot on the low-speed pedal and 1 foot op the brake pedal, and this left 1 hand to wave with, and 1 hand to fail to turn off the gas with. The garages have all prospered because of the missing foot accelerator, but we understand that the new Ford which will come out in 19 and 29 will have all modern conveniences except lightning rods and water-works. Florida is coming back, so they say. Real estate agents have taken up the shovel and the hoe, streetmaking machinery has been beaten into plow-shares, and corner lots are being planted to strawberries, and water-fronts are sprouting celery, apd sub-divisions are now used for orange groves, and the mule is lying down with the milch cow, and the billy goat is sleeping near the beegum. Well, 1 have always felt that Florida had the finest climate and the largest muskeeters in the world. ? deer mr. editor.? beginning this next full moon in i October, i will have plenty possums to sell, so plese put it in yore paper that, orders will be took for same if sent "with the cash, i never ketch possums on the light of the moon as they taste too much like mud-turkles if ketched then, my prices wil be as follo\vs:~ 1 possum 1 dollar, 2 possums 2 dollar, 3 possums 3 dollar,^bnsoforth, or i will swap 2 fat possums for 2 good hound doags. rite or foam if interested. yores trulie, *o mike Clark, rfd. A seat in the New York Stock ex' change recently sold for $229,000.00. I belcher I'll never have money enough to buy standing room in that pl*db. But don't you know them seats are soft and comfortable. My best "rooking chair cost only $13.98, including the first payment. We get all our styles from Paris. Judging from the way things have been going for the past few years, Paris is going to have our "extreme dressers" going naked in a short while. Hurrah for Paris! Paws are soon to be enacted in [some states making it a crime to wear a mask of any kind. Now when the K. K. Ks decide to beat a leilow up they will have to do so in the daik, or be called juBt an ordinarv mob. They ought not to be too har*J on the klan. It kept my Cousin Joe from running around so much last summer running around so much last eaten up with the grass, thanks to his wife. Most farmers know more about multiple disc clutches and Timken bearings and 4-point drive shafts,! and too little about chilled plows and mowing blades and hen houses for the good of our country. The only, thing in the world now that will put the south back on her feet again is for Henry ^ord not to put out any new car a-tall. Clothes don't make the man or woman by any manner of means, but you can't get into high society and stay there without the glad rags. But folks will continue to dress up just so long as the dollar-down plan of merchandising is in vogue, therefore, society will never suffer. According to some advertisements, Halitosis has busted up more engagements, caused more divorcer, forced more stenographers to quit, [insulted more friends, and raised more thunder in general than have [all other agencies of unpleasantness combined. (Polite society now uses home-brew to overcome this odoriferous exhalation of the internal organs). . Some noted physician recently said that we are soon to have a childless age. Pshaw, that fellow don't know what he's talking about. Nearly everybody wants children that ought to have them. There / are a few little male and female flappers here and yonder that think kids are a nuisance, but they will possibly get over that feeling. Lots of fblks still raise children for profit. If you don believe it, make a trip around the industrial side of your community. Letters From a Son (In Jail) to His Father Dear Dad:? Well, here I am. This is the sorriest jail I ever saw. Besides 26 other prisoners, 19 rats, 1,650 roaches, and several biting insects spent last night here. My advice to you is to make your mash at the house. Write soon. Your Son, BILL. Dear Dad:?

Dear Dad:? ~ v. fh Buick ( ar Stolen and Recovered A Buick sedan belonging to E. 0. I Bridges of Heath Springs was stolen frdm the front of one of the Heath Springs churches Sunday evening during the services. As soon as the car was missed the authorities were notified and Joe Byrd, night policeman, took steps to recover the car, which reached l^ancaster at 8:30 o clock. Mr. Byrd saw the car coming up Main street at a fast speed, and blocked the way, so the Buick came to a quick stop just in time to avoid hitting the officer's car. Two >oung white men who gave their names as Plato and Walter Hoyle of the mill village were arrested and committed to jail by Magistrate Steele on the charge of larceny of automobile. In the meantiuf* the Kershaw authorities heard of the arrest *nd aaj^d the local authorities to hold them for Kershaw as they were wanted there on a similar charge. It appears that they stole ? car at Kershaw earlier in the day and that was wrecked, whereupon .the boys, who are 18 and 20 years, respectively, came on to Heath Springs and finding Mr. Bridges* car parked at the church, took it and continued their journey. It is said that the family is from Charlotte and came to Lancaster to reside about two months ago.?Lancaster News. Loses Life While Hunting Denmark, Oct. 12?W. W. McCurh\\, well known Blackville man, was found dead this morning about 7:80 o clock, near Healings Springs, as the result of the accidental discharge of the gun with which he had been hunting, it was thought. He was shot through the head. It is supposed just before getting into his car to return home he started unloading his Remington automatic. Four shells were removed. Then it is believed that he looked down the upturned barrel of the gun to ascertain whether there were more shells at which point the gun fired. He was found by Miss Eva Blum, a teache* of Healing Springs school, on her way to school. His wife and one son survive. He was a veteran hunter and enjoyed going on squirrel hunts alone. Court Upholds Verdict The decision of the lower court returned in 1926, awarding Mrs! Annie L. Bradford $10,000 damages against the Woolworth Five and Ten ( cnt Store for injuries she received when she slipped and fell. while in the Sumter store, was affirmed Saturday by the State Supreme Court and the full amount with interest ordered paid. Mrs. Bradford suffered a broken hip in her fall, it being alleged that the Woolworth company had been negligent in the matter of placing oil on the floor, making it i d 7* customers to walk on. Mrs. Bradford was represented by tdlPs. & Levy in her suit.?Monday's ' Sumter Item. i Former Kaiser Wilhelm's sister, , Princess Victoria, 61, is to marry Doorjann Y^ubkoff, 23, a Russian nobleman. # MASTER'S SALE State of South Carolina County of Kershaw (Court of Common Pleas) Henry Belton, et. al?
