He says the girls of Cherobee county are sensible, for he has not been able to fool any of them yet Watch out, brother, that the fooling don't come the other way. It’s not always the girl that’s fooled. The housewives haven’t been troubl ed with hawks this season that we know of.

We are needing a shower of rain very badly. The ground is getting too hard to plough. We are glad to welcome our new Wilkinsville correspondent "Puella.” Come again young friend, your letter is splendid. It's reported that one of our lower Cherokee farmers said he wished every stalk of cotton from the Atlan tic to the Pacific would be killed during the recent cold snap we have had.

Wilkinsville, May 15.—A good many of our farmers thinking that the cot ton (on sandy land especially) was killed by the oold weather, have planted it over. In many places the cut and bud worms have injured the com so that a good deal of replanting is neces sary. The cold wave made the Means grass look blue, but It didn’t stop it from growing—only checked it up a little. Will some reader please let us know where we ean get a copy of Weem’s Life of Marion? Since these old books have gone out of print it’s hard to get them. Yet they are, in our judgment, much better than a great many of the new publicdlions we find in many libraries nowadays.

Have you read “The Southern Maiden*! Reply7" II Is a touching little iove poem by Mr. Chariet Frederick StaiVobury, now going the rounds. Under the magnolias the ycuth is telling his love in language hot as lava from Vesu us. He speaks thoughts that breathe in words that burn to the extent of about thirty lines of verse. “And this is what the maiden said— Har words were choice and fewt *1 certainly do appreoiste it| I certainly do.’” One of the things that women certainly do appreciate —they certainly do—is a full page advertise ment of bargains id a store near enough for them to visit In the big cities such pages ap pear daily. Why? Be cause the merchants know that the women appreciate It. They cer tainly do know it. All women are very appreciative in the mat ter of shopping bar gains. They are so ap preciative that they make mental note of the things they want at ad vertised!, and make a bee linte for the store that keeps those things on hat^d and lets them know ^bout it If the merchants In the snfialter cities and towns—this one, for In stance—would do more of this kind of advertising, the women certainly would appreciate it; they certainly would.
