Mr. Earl Barne* Suffer Painful Though
Not Seriou* Accident.
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.

A Sad Death.
AnnidfLou, the little three-year old
4aughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Grubbs,
who live-near Barnwell, suffered fatal
burns on the 8th inst v from which she
died in three hours and a - half. The
little giri was in the field with her
young brother, who was burning gram
preparatory to plowing, when her
clothes caught fire and were burned
from her body before assistance could
reach her. The little body was laid to
rest tbe following day in Rnedy Branch
cemetery. The bnrenved parents have

HER IDEALS CHANGED.
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.’

her guest ’Tou rs wondering bow I
could make up any mind to live In thla

of tbe boose that matters; tt’a tbe stee

Tha Prussian Guard*.
Frederick the Great originated the
Prussian guards. His ambition was to
form a royal bodyguard of giants, and
every country was ransacked by bis
agents to supply recruits. The most
ettrnragnut sums were offered to men
of exceptional inches, and it ia said an
Irishman more than seven feet high,
who was picked up by the Prussian
ambassador tn London, received a
bounty of £1,300.—Loudon Mail

- A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines
We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with us are kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. 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.
