HOME-LIFE IN THE NINETIES . < 'mini r> folks I bought c ily folks Were b< Iter folks flistli they Were. Some city folks still think so. Everybody on tin; farm was supposed to bo a rube; lurge cities have not yet t hang' <1 their mind on this question. 11 .1 country bo\ used (In- expressions "1 tainq" or "Yes, it is |," ho was promptly knocked down for talking proper ..In the country in tlio nineties, it was a disgrace for a young follow s shirt tali to houM out or for his sock to drop down over ltis shoe or for his collar to- be unbuttoned. Now a guy is a slsHy if he keeps his shirttail in or wears any socks at ull or ever buttons his collar. No gentleman ever thought of pulling his coat off in (lit- presence of company .if lie and they were dressed up ... in the ni net ies. ..A rubber-tired buggy stood as high in the nineties as a pald-for Rollsitoyco stands today. It was a sin and a shame for a person not to pay his debts, hut today it's a miracle if a man considers his obligations seriously; in some places, but not in the communities where this piece is being printed. ..Shooting marbles and playing mumble-peg were (in the nineties) just exactly wln-re golf and bridge are today. The so-called best then in the state ran for public office; today the best men still run for public office, : but they can't be elected. Eating Irog legs had not been discovered in tin- nineties, but very few women smoked. ..A neighbor was a trie nil who came over and spent a day and a night with the family who lived across the creek ... in the nineties; a neighbor today is the bird who attends strictly to his own business, keeps on his side of (lie road, and loans you his lawnmower which you fail to take back. There was always enough "dinner 011 (he ground" for everybody at picnics; today tiie sand wiches give out shortly after being (lushed. ..Times have changed and so have people. Some of us are jealous of leach other while others are only envious. 'I oil ay it you are a success, j you are a scoundrel; if you pray ii. | public, > 011 are a h\pot rile; 11 you ai't off tie- chain gane. veil ar< a saint; it you work I'm the go\. turnout, you are riding a gravy-train, but hack in the nineties. 110 matter what you thought you weren't anything more or less than what others knew you were. And you can't fool'eni today cither. SPRING IN FLAT ROCK ..spring has came in our midst and everboddv seems happier than ever in j flat rock, the little boys are sprawl[ ed out all over our streets shooting marbles for keeps and the little girls are jumping ropes and climbing trees. ..the robbins tire singing behind the smokehouse and the ginnies and ducks are cackling in the barnyard, johnny quil's are poking their yalle'r heads up on both sides of the path from tiie back door to the cow lot, and weeping willows are waving in the breezes. the whipper-will is coolug to her mate in the distance and corn planting time is mought nigh here, our old peafowl bellows forth her musick to the I winds and it echoes hack into our house and sounds like 2 of same is making the noise. the spotted cow is mowing and munching the grass in tin paM? r while the doves are cooing affectionate coos in the tree tops, tiny zeftirs are forcing their heads above the ground and shouting?"lookout, hero we come;" great is spring, as it were! . .'the freshly washed overboils, work shirts, gingham dresses and cotton sox are waving on the clothes line and receiving the gentle kisses of the western breezes as they flop pro and con 011 their way elsewhere, but the pig has rooted up the flowers in our front yard. ..the earth winns in the fence corners are craving to be et by the fishes, and our men of leisure are untieing knots, adjusting sinkers, and chawing their quids with a view to ketching a few as soon as the moon fulls ami the wind changes from the east.

Peach Disease Control A Phony Peach Disease control project has been started in this county, sponsored by the Rureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, for the inoval of till abandoned peach orchards and escaped or undesirable peach trees in home orchards. The Phony Peach Disease is little known in this county as yet, hut Its devastating effects on the peach industry and its rapid spread have caused the. Federal Government to appropriate a sum of money to remove all sources where the disease-may breed, - ; * and by thorough inspections during the summer months It Is hoped that we can at least keep this disease In cheek If not eradicate It entirely. J. K. McCoy, of McRee, S. C.. is supervisor of the work in this county and anyone wishing to have work done immediately should get in touch with Mr. McCoy or W. C. McCarley, tilt- county farm agent. -? 1 1 Send In Unknown Specimen Columbia, March 24.?Anyone desiring identification of reptiles of all sorts, including mud puppies, may obtain it front John A.
