Our town held ’‘Prosperity Week” last month. The mayor decreed that we stage such a week and we staged it. It will be a long time before some of us will get over it but we had a big time while it lasted. Nearly all of the natives went to the picture-talkies, and played mouse- golf, and visited the soda fountains often, and we let the barbers cut our hair, and we got our shoe? shined, and we hired the garage folk s to oil up and grease up and wash up our old cars, and we put on the dog in many other ways. Mr. and Mr%. Hagood Bostick, of Columbia, spent ^Sunday here with' Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Hagood.

TEACHERS ENTERTAIN FOR BRIDE-ELECT. 3 An enjoyable event of last weeV was the bridge party given Friday evening by the teachers of the Barn well school, at the home of Mrs. A. A. Lemon, in honor of Miss Dorothy Wragg, of Blackville, whose marriage to Mr. Hugh McLaurin, of Sumter, will be an outstanding scial event of the fall season. The home was tastefully decorated with a profusion of yellow and orange marigolds and autumn leaves, which carried out the color scheme of Hal lowe’en, as did also the salad course which was served after a round cf games. The honor guest was presented with a lovely trousseau gift and also the high score and consolation prizes, which were won by Miss Wragg and Mrs. W. W. Carter. Those who call ed after the games for refreshments were Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Ira Fales. All the men heaved their chests out in a 19 and 20 manner, and the women pressed their old dresses and looked real cute from beginning to end. The children ail kept their noses blowed and their eye-lashes painted and their neck s washed, and to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, we felt very, very prosperous. (N. B. None of us were allowed to think of 9-cent cotton and 17-dollar seed and the scarcity of jobs.) The stores were all in gala attire and they were crowded, too, with folks looking at and pricing gpods, and several of our neighbors bought clothing and shoe s and things, and had ’em charged, so it might turn out later on that “Prosperity Week’ proved a poverty streak for some of the merchants. Prices of every thing were raised during this seige so’s things would look better, and several of the doctors shaved nearly every other day, but their patients were so glad to see prosperity, they got well in spite of their medicine, and poms plasters. Miss Ona Choate and Paul Younts, of Charlotte, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Youngblood, of Concord, N. C., werei the week-end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Brown, Jr. The leaders of America seem to think good times will come back if folks will only say—“I’ve got money” and “Business is good” and “look at our bank clearing-” and “I never saw conditions more promising,” anso- forth.

I picked out a combination liver-iung- heart-kindney-gizzard-stummick phy sician and I dropped into hi s office casually the other morning and hung up my hat on his hat rack dnd it fell off and I asked the girl w’hy in the thunder they diddent buy a good hat- rack with all the money they took in for feeling pulse 5 ansoforth. no, and ho said—you ain't got the headache then.** After feeling the edges of a couple of knives and saws, he asked me if my appendix ever hurt any: I told ; him I didn’t know whether it did or ! not, as I had no idea what they did' with it at the hospital 5 years ago | when they cut it out, and he then told me it couldn’t possibly be ap pendicitis, and I said—“Possibly not.” He asked me how wa s my crops and I told him bad, he wanted to know if my mercantile business h$d picked up, and I told him yes, it had picked up and left. Comfort . Complete tw-, He walked into the other room. I waited on him to come back till near ly midnight, then I went by the drug store and got 5 cents worth of salts, i and I am feeling fine today, thank you—How are you? A 1905-Model Festival I was about 18 years of age when I made my bebut (now pronounced day-bu), and the occasion wa s a candy-breaking. The present gen- 1 eration knoweth not what sr* candy ; braking is or was, but they were in- J deed very popular around 19 and 5, and, right in a class with shooting matches and square dances. Well, back yonder when it was a sin for a deacon to give a dance, his next chance to furnish entertainment was to permit his boys and girls to stage a bi^ candy-breaking ^at his ' house. Everybody that was enybody at all had to carry several sticks of candy to such a party, and believe me, candy wa s candy then, and 20 or 25 sticks would cost a feller some thing like 5 cents. Well, afters wait of 7 or 8 hours, the doctor finally walked out into the lobby in his little shirt-tail and said— “Old man, you’re next.” (I thought I ought to be next—I was the only person in the place except him and his helper, meaning the girl.) So I stepped into his private office. He motioned me over toward a 3-legged stool and said: “Set-down” and I set . He worked on a little knife and Jcnitting needle about 45 minutes and then put them down slid came over to give me the <moe-cver. The candy-breaking invitation came to me on Wednesday night while I was on my way home from pulling fodder in the bottoms. I put my brain to working on a plan to raise some money to buy candy with, but nickles were few and far between, however, it so happened that my mother decided to send me to the country store with an old hen for the purpose of swapping her for a few house-hold adjuncts: this was on a Friday, and the candy-breaking was scheduled for Saturday night. jV Modem Housewife Eliminetes the danger 'nxi w m v —' c f Burned-out Lamps ( ^ and .empty sockets 1 ~ -i Spare lamps should be on hand in every home at all times.

South Carolina Power Co. Me and the old hen got to the store all right. I had done some big fig- gering during my 6-mile jaunt with that fowl, so I traded her for 3 cents worth of pepper and 4 cents worth of soda and 6 cents worth of matches, and that left me 8 cents for other in vestments, so I bought myself 38 sticks of pretty streaked-dy-stripped mint and lemon candy. And I was the first gentleman that reached, Mr. Jonses hou?e for that shin-dig. ■ I showed all the girls my big bun dle of candy as they came in, and let me tell you Cake-eaters, I was almost the whole show, as the other boys diddent have but 5 or 6 sticks apiece. I commenced to break candy with the different girls early and I broke late. I made like I didn’t care^f the girls got all the whole stick of candy, and I’d hold ’em by the tip ends, but I’d always help ’em eat the candy up while we were waiting for somebody else to enjoy themselves a-breaking.
