We were foolish enough to start out
to Augusta last Wednesday morning,
via automobile, to “take tn“ the circus,
sod after about four hours’ driving
over slippery roads, with a hole about
every two feet, we arrived in the Geor
gia city. For fear, however, that a
commission in lunacy might be appoint
ed to inquire into eur sanity, we refuse
to tell our experience at the circus
grounds. The return trip was made by
Aiken and took more than four hours
time. With the exception of the post
road in Aiken County, the Barnwell
roads are in much better condition, but
at that some stretches are sadly in need
of repair, especially from Williston to
Barnwell.
In loving memory of Mrs. M. A. Me

September 21, 1915, at the home of her

death came as a sod shock to her many
friends, aa the was ill only a short
while. Although the was aged—being
eighty-one—ws did not expect her to
Move us is yssra, perhaps. She was
always interested is religious societies
and was permitted by the hand of God
to attend her church at Healing Springs
until a few days before her death.
Early in life she gave her heart to Oed
and became a consistent member of
that church Her kindness and piety
won for her deserved honor and esteem
among her many friends. The writer
never saw her otherwise than cheer
ful.
She left one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
McCludon, and five sons, C. D., G. 8 ,
J. M , W. and M. McClendon, and nine
grandchildren. The loss of such a
woman is’grievous, but her crown is
glorious and ber memory blessed.

Our opinion of a man tor woman)
who “takes” a paper until the publish

request for settlement and then “re

would be debarred from the mails. We
have had two or three to treat ifs' that
and we expect to collect those accounts'
if the “due process of the law” can ac

Even post masters have a sense of
humor, grim though it may be. Last

Lombroso, the famous Italian crimi

Man" with the chief reader when on
reaching a page which dealt with a
young man who, im|>elled by jealousy,
bad stabbed his fiancee be made a sur
prising discovery. The proofreader
was this man.
“Suddenly,** Lombroso said in telling
the story, “he threw himself at my
feet, declaring that he would commit
suicide if I published this story with
his name. His face, before very gen
tle, was completely altered and almost
terrifying, and I was really afraid that
he would kill himself or me on the spot
I tore up the proofs and for several
editions omitted his story."
Thunder.
Winter thunder is considered through
out Europe to be of very 111 omen, but
April thunder Is considered to be very
beneficial. In Devonshire and other
cider counties of England there Is a
saying that “when It thunders In April
you must clean up the barrels'*—in
readiness, that to, for a plentiful crop
of applce. The French consider April
thunder to be Indicative of a good
yield from vineyards and cornfields.
