Jenny, Feb. 15.—Some of the far mers of this section are beginning to prepare land for anotAer crop, while others are still picking out the fleecy staple. Very little talk of fertilizers is heard and from all indications it ia hardly possible that there will be very much of it used this year. Mr. Earl Barnes happened to a very painful but fortunately not'a very seri ous accident recently. While pitying “jump the rope" with some other boys he was thrown to the ground, fractur ing both bonPs of his left forearm just above the wrist. He was taken to Dr. Loadholt’a office, where the fracture was set. He is getyng alcng very nicely now. Mr. G. A. Loadholt was taken to the Baker Sanitanun in Charleston recent ly for an operation. He is doing nicely and is expected home this week. Dr. G. W. I. Loadholt haa resigned as local registrar of vital statistics of Sycamore township and Mr. J. C. Mayer, of Sycamore, has been appoint ed in his place. Inasmuch as there is such a law it is to be hoped that all midwives as well as physicians will report birth and deaths promptly to the local registrar. For failure to comply with this law a considerable fine is at tached. REMAINS OF MRS. GREEN TAKEN TO DUNBARTON DM Friday in Atlanta at tha Horn* of Her Daughter, Mr*. Parker.

She Saw a Very Large Light After She Wee Happily Married. There was a girl who was quite sore that when It came her turn to marry she could not live in a bouse any smaller than her father's. "Love In a cot tape" was not her Idea. Cupid, she thought, needed plenty of room to flap bit wing* and to practice hie archery, he could not pine tn a birdcage. Bo • he must have an Immense library with a fireplace that would taka a atz foot log; there must be a drawing room with parquetry flooring and thick rug* •tiding about on It; tbe dining room must be able to bold a large table with an Itupoelng bowl of flower*. She via uallsed herself ruling a anion, boeteae to a brilliant coterie of people who would help her social ambition and her bus baud* business. A school friend of here came to see her a year and a half after she bad married and found her In a little frame house on a aide etreeL ridiculously happy with her husband and her baby Tbe back yard was juat about big enough to bold, a whirling clqtbea frame and a narrow Sower bed against the fence; tbe plassa was ae snug as a sailor a hammock; the largest room was about the else of tbe vestibule of tbe bride’s girlhood borne. “1 know what you're thinking.’ laughed tbe proud little housekeeper to her guest ’Tou rs wondering bow I could make up any mind to live In thla tiny pin no bos.

Where the owners of rural lines are responsible for their upkeep, we want to co-operate with them. All lines require a thorough overeauling occa sionally if the best service is to be obtained. We recommend that every line connected with us be overhauled at least once a year, and that at least one experienced telephone man assist in this work. The cost of this work when divided among all the patrons of the line, makes the amount paid- by each mum small, and this cost will be more than offset by the improved service. If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec tion are experiencing trouble with their service, we will appreciate their talking the matter over with our Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do what we can toward helping yon improve the con dition of your line. t SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY BOX 52, COLUMBIA. SOUTH CAROLINA.
