But there wasn't any Welsh rabbit?" "And as a result we are all com fortable and happy today instead of being miserable and dyspetic. And we owe it all to the fact that a few kind-hearted mice sneaked around during the afternoon and ate up the cheese." VERY TRUE. Edith--Say, papa, what is an opti mist?

The appropriation for 1916 was much less than that of previous years and running expenses much greater. I do not mean merely that the cost of sup plies of all kinds had advanced from 25 to 30 per cent, but that court expen ses, handling the insane (which aver aegd over two a month for 1916), and and almost every item that enter into the expense and comes from the ordi nary county fund have passed that of 1915; therefore, the debt has increased instead of decreased.

Adver (BEING A H1EART-TO-HEART TALK THE PICKENS SENTINEL belongs to the people of Pickens 6ounty. The, c< Sentinel became a ,Pickens county h institution when it was founded c( forty-five years ago. it The editor considers himself em- e ployed by the subscribers to conduct a this paper for them fnd keep them in touch with the political, commercial, ' agricultural,religious and educational life of the county. and he is doing his y best to fill the bill. The editor must 9 have a living out of his work 'the t same as a county officer, and the t( people do not expect him to work for b them for nothing. ,t We are trying to conduct 'this s paper for the benefit of our subscri- b bers and ourself. g el We consider each subscriber a $ stockholder in the paper, and the enjoyment, benefit and information they get from its weekly visits are e their dividends. We want to con- tv duct it in a business way of which e you will approve, so that it will e bring you better dividends each year. 1 That is the reason we raised the sub- h scription price. a We believe a vast majority of our r subscribers had rather pay one cent more a week and have a good county paper than to pay the old rate and have a poorand uninteresting paper. We are telling you the truth when we say we cannot make a decent living wage and publish The Sentinel a as we do now and get only one dollar li a year for it. You do not want us ri to work for nothing. That's not the way of Pickens county people. And we are not going to work for noth ing. We are, however, going to work s hard enough to give you more than e your money's worth. The Sentinel is recognized as one Ii of the best weekly papers in the state. It is our ambition to make it the best. We certainly do not want ". to see it go back, and you don't, either. But it would surely go back if we sold it at the same old price when we have to pay more for everything we use. Anybody can see that. It is estimated that more t1 United States have been fort during the last nine months cost of paper and other matei paper which keeps its subscri under present conditions is proper protection. The Pick subscription price to $1.50 a continued and uninterrupte price would not do it.
