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. Ruin mv
backyard and bank account, and then
have to' tear alt of the junk nut and
car: it away next year?when they
go out of style.

who reppersents this county

and the mayor has benn petishioned
to drain the pond so's folks can sleep
when they go to bed anso{orth. this
frog bizness has benn an eye sore

town counsel we have promises to

they claim-^hat no monney is in the

( Kxcept the bequest to Winthrop col*
! lege, it leaves everything to three
trustees, Dolph Freidheim, Albert
; Freidheim and C. VV. F. Spencer, the
'last a lawyer, who are to administer
j the bequests, most of which are for
twenty or thirty year* and contingent
on lives. The same three men are executors
of the will which was made
March 27, 1020, and was witnessed by
VV. J. Neely, John K. London and
H. J. White.
The testator's stock in the corpora
tion operating the store in Rock Hili
j is left to the trustees who are to pay

sickness in our mist at pressent. inr,
owen moore was struck down with
the roomy-tism in martch and the
nabors had to put in his crop and
wife ketched the hooping coff at a
quilting and she coffs so mutch, she
can't bend over the stove to do the
cooking, so the nabors is doing that
for her. everyboddy wonders why
she diddent ketch the hooping* coff
when she wtis young so's it woulddent
hurt her so bad, as it is a child's
disseaze.

at rehobor next sunday and the pasture

board on the left of the front steps
to same and tt will be?"repent befoar
it is ever lastingly too late."
that is the trouble with most of us,
we put off the repenting till the
doctor comes the last time, and manny
have gone on to their rewards
without repenting at all, and that is
bad. everyboddy invited.

Ninety-Five Years Old
Capt. W, K. Charles was 96 years
young on June 28. 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."?
