Nobody's Business Written fur Tin? Chronicle by Gee McGoe, Copyright, 1928. Have You A Lily Bond In Y'our Own Jiackyerd? ... ."My Town" has gone plumb daffy about backyard lily pondu, and my own dear, darling economical wife ha* got 'dne in her herfd at last. She has lily pgrjd catalogues pouring in by every mail, and our rear-sittingroom is littered from center to circumference with models and designs and descriptions. ... .There ain't any room in any of our backyards nowadays for the washpot and tubs. The chicken industry has suffered terribly because of this lily pond business. Why, half the folks can't find a decent place to dump the ashes from their fu^paee, but nobody ain't paying any attention at all to their front yards?that is if they have a backyard, but where there's no'backyard, lily ponds arc springing up in front yards. . . k . A fairly respectable lily pond can be built for 75 dollars and 35 cents. One woman diddent want to ask anyone* how to construct a lily pond, so she set out to design and make her one, so she and 2 other darkies who knew a tiny bit about cement and mortar, built one that was 7 feet deep (the normal dcj'V* of a nice one is about 2 feet) .irul filled it with water, und that night her old man was trying to ?lip into the house thru the kitchen, and dunged if he diddent fall in that thing and was almost drowned before u policeman pulled him out. ...My wife has figgered and figgered on her lily pool and has a list of the things she wants in it. . I thought all I'd have to buy was a few lily plants and some other cheap water flora, but what you reckon,, i you hafter put something in them pools beside* flowers ansoforth, and my wife has picked out from the catalogue the follwing animal life i which must he in there also: , 5 Japanese Snails $4.60 6 Ramshorn Snails H.OO 7 Salamanders 2 Weather Fish . 5..'i0 N Tadpoles 3.25 6 Assorted Snails 6.00 6 Goldfish b.00 I 2 Clarru 2.00 ....Well, I think lily pools are all right, hut it looks like it is going! to be cheaper Tor us to move ofti somewhere close to a natural swam) - rather than make one of our own. Now, folks, besides all of them snails and tadpoles, it costs about 25 dollars and 43 cents to get the grass and rock plunts for the pond. . . . .She wants me to go down to the farm und haul all of the hi-' rocks up to our house and pile them on the sides of the driveway and path to the garden. 1 gtlCsS I'll liavpto do like everybody else.

He is one of, if not the oldest, living 'Confederate soldiers. He was presented with a box of cigars by the Men's Bible Class of the Presbyterian church, of which the captain is a member. This remembrance is in accordance with the custom of the class and is given to Capt. Charles as a mark of esteem in which he is held by the class. Possibly he is the oldest Sunday school pupil in the whole country. He was also remembered by the Lottie Green Chapter, U. I). C., and by many others, who wish him many more happy birthdays.:?Bishopville Messenger. ; Probably Not Johnny, ten years old, applied for a job as grocery boy for the summer. The grocer wanted a seriousminded youth, so he put Johnny to a little test. "Well, my boy, what would you do with a million dollars?" he asked. "Oh, gee, I don't know?-I wasn't expecting so much at the start."? Staley Journal.
