The Night After Christmas TK T,f ^ n!gbA t'Ur The wind was whistling a tuuu of woe on the window sill** Turkey bones were in the garbage can, aifd everybody had either the headache or the stummick-ache. The tie and the pair socks Bill and Jim sent had been examined and round to be "xeconds" and were then poked into the bureau drawer for safe-keeping. After taking several doses of soda for the purpose of stimulating my digestive organs, I proceeded to sit myself down in iny easy (payment) chair," and was ft 8eat of ?>y britches by the ( hoo-choo" train old Santa Claus had brought, and then and there, 1 selected another resting place. oi1 *,W.?XS feel 80rry for 0,d Banta Claux, The night after Christmas." There, right before my eyes on the floor, was the big china doll that he paid $4.98 for with 1 leg and 1 arm missing, and 2 eyes that formerly opened and closed had been poked back into the open space, and only 2 holes were left. The jumping jack had jumped his last jump. He had been wound too tight and his jump-spring had busted. The "Spirit of St. Louis" had a broken propeller, and the doll carriage had only 3 wheels left. Mutt's heai and Jeff's arm and leg, respectively, were gone and about forgotten. The set of knives and forks I bought for my wife were "Smith's 1922" instead of "Roger's 47," and somebody seemed displeased, but did not openly admit it. The pair of pajamas I received fitted "her" better than they did me, and I kept on saying nothing. * Raisins and oranges peelings were everywhere. My nice new (1926) #uit had candy-hand prints all over its lapel and front. My hat was being used for a basket. Two fire-crackers had been shot directly tender me, and I could taste the sage and onions that "they" put in the turkey dressing. (The thought came to me that i Christmas, After all, was only a short space of time used for, the purpose of stuffing one's abdomen unmercifully, and absorbing bank accounts). I was nearly a sick man from every viewpoint. I became weak and weary about 8:20 p. m., and proceeded to retire. I rolled and tumbled and worried and groaned' and counted sheep till about 1 a. m., and then -went to sleep, and slept intermittingly for nearly 40 minutes. I am always glad to see Christmas come and go. /? I am authorized to say that Woolworth will not sell goods on the installment plan beginning with the New Year, but this good store will continue to., sell you a dime's worth of stuff for 10 cents, all cash. But speaking of hard times: You can always tell when a man is paying for his car by the month. He orders 50 cents worth of coal at a time, a beefsteak purchase never runs over 15 cents, he faflr out with nis .preacher and stays away from church, he decides that the Salvation Army is the bunk, and that the Armenians ought to go to work and stop begging their living semiannually. Our service club is certainly doing some wonderful work in this community. At our last luncheon, we talked 30 minutes about helping the Boy Scouts, and at the luncheon before that, we talked 40 minutes about donating 20 dollars to the poor of the city, and at the luncheon before that, we talked 50 minutes ,about a permanent summer camp for the un-^ ^er privileged boys, and we are planning to do more talk at our next meeting. Aunt Cindy (Uncle"Joe's third wife) got pretty badly bunged up last Wednesday night. After she had finished milking three cows, and slopped the hogs, and bought the day's washing in off the line, she went out to cut some wood -to cook supper with, and stumbled over one of Uncle Joe's rabbit gums and her head struck the axe, and a great gash was inflicted just above her right eye. Uncle Joe, got pretty mad at Aunt Cindy and told heir that she ought to have been looking where she was a-going. 1 . | Cotton Letter. New York, Dec. 28.?Snow in the interior and private estimates in the exterior and rich bears on Wall street and poor bolls in the' south caused cotton to take a decided slump over the week end, but Liverpool showed some strength on the opening and caused 17 cotton mills to begin curtailing. The cotton mills any that the decline in the pride of "cotton and the consequential decline in the price of cotton goods is causing the trouble^ but the farmer argues that if that Is the case^?why don't the mills pay more for cotton: (they are the only folks that "can use it) and thereby help the situation that they a*e a talking about. Bollwjsevils and bottled in bond are scarce, except near the seaport towns. ; We advise a "live at home" ^ policy when you can't get further credit., L.

It was so cold last Tuesday morna ?1 ??*- ? 1 ing my wife had to get up and make a fire in the fire piece and then make one in the kitchen stove and cook my breakfast, and bring it to me and let me eat it in bed before I could get up. Gee! Ain't winter just awful? Elephants in captivity have been known to remain on their feet for five years. U i .. i The natives of Uganda, Africa, consider ants such a delicacy that patients in hospitals are frequently given a plate of boiled ants. The term 'watered stock' originated from the custom among certain farmers of feeding their cattle a lot of salt, letting .them .drink all the water they wanted, and selling them by weight. f ' , 1 I ^ AA'Vk. AFflRHI Af*" AVERY Chilled Plow o rzsr*i Chill* how fl # ' I J?, ??.>???>>?? America's Finest THERE are many good chilled plows made, but only one Avery. In many important ways it is above any comparison. Since B. P. Avery designed the first Avery plow in 1825, great strides have been made in plow building. Avery always has been aHeadcr. Today every scientific and manufacturing improvev meat is found in Avery Chilled Plows, and in addition are many advantages exclusive to Avery. Avery repair parts are always genuine because protected by patents. They are guaranteed to fit perfectly any Avery plow ever made of < ??. ' * mm mm ' same number, and because perfect-fitting cannot work looae and seldom break. The Avery "lock that locks"?found only on the Avery?holds the plowshare in place no matter how long in use; and relieves the strain on the bolts. Guarantee tag?as shown?Is attached to every Avery Chilled Plow. Thousands of farmers, wherever chilled plows are' used, say they never knew perfect plow satis* faction until they got an Avery. Let us demonstrate Avery Chilled Plow superiority to your satisfaction. m ncrc u o ruu Kim of famous Artery walking, riding mnd tractor plows, tillage implements, end Champion hmrsgsttng end key machines /v? !* SPRINGS & SHANNON, Inc. i CAMDEN, S.
