LIFE AMONO THE PEOPLE OF LISBON. runners are Behind with Work on Ac count of Continued Bains?Homo Visitors. Lisbon, April 18.?Farming has not been progressing very rapidly in this section on account of an abundanoe of rain. We do not think that the fruit has been very badly injured by the cold snaps. The Lisbon Hiffch 3ohool is progres sing nicely under the management of our accomplished teacher, Prof. T. J. Pyles. The young people of this community organized the Lisbon Literary Club some time ago. It is progressing nice ly, and is both interesting and instruc tive. The next meeting will be held at the resldenco of T. S. Teague. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Hudgens visited the lattor's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Wright, last Sunday. Mrs. W. H.

Early planting of corn no doubt will have to be planted over, as the last rains havo greatly packed the land. Small-grain Is looking very well and wo hope to gel a good yield.

Choosing a Wife A Man Can't Pick His Mother, but He Can Pick His Son's Mother From "Letten From a Self Made Mtr chant to Iii? Son," by George Horace iArrimtr. liy permtefcm of SmaU, Mav nnrtt A Co., FvbUthert, Morton 0 '? ?s Of course you're In no position yet to think of being engaged oven, And that's why I'm a little afraid that you may bo plunnlug to got married. But a twelve dollar clerk who owes $62 for roses needs a keepor more than a wife. 1 want to say right hero that there al ways comes a time to the fellow who blows $52 at a lick on roses when ho thinks how many staple groceries ho could hnve bought with the money. After all, there's no fool like a young fool, becnuso in the nature of things bo's got a long time to Hvo. I suppose I'm fannlug the air when I ask you to be guided by my judgment In this matter, because while a young fellow will consult his father nbout buying a horse ho's cocksure of him self when It comes to picking a wife. Marriages may be made in heaven, but most engagements aro made in the back pnrlor, with the gas so low that a fellow doesn't really get a square look at what he's talking. Wbllo a man doesn't seo much of a girl's family Whon he's courting he's npt to seo a good deal of It when he's housekeep ing, and while ho doesn't mnrry his wife's father there's nothing In the marriage vow to prevent the old man from borrowing money from b?n, and you can bet If he's old Job Dashkam he'll do It. A man can't pick his own mother, but he can pick his son's moth er, and when ho chooses a father-ln Inw who plays the bucketshops bo needn't bo surprised if his own son ploys the races. Never marry a poor girl who's boon , raised like a rich one. She's simply traded the virtues of the poor for the vices of the rich without going long on their good points. To mnrry for money or to marry without money Is a crime. There's no real objection to marrying a woman with a fortune, but there is to marrying a fortune with a woman. While you are at It, there's nothing like picking out n good looking wife, because even tho handsomest woman looks homely sometimes, and so you got a llttlo variety. But a homely one can only look worse than usual. Beau ty Is only skin deep, but that's deep enough to satisfy any reasonable man. (I wnnt to say right here thnt to get any sense out of a provorb I usually find that I have to turn it wrong side out.) Then, too, if a fellow's bound to marry a fool, and a lot of men havo to If they're going to hitch np into a well matched team, there's nothing llko picking n good looking one. I believe in short engagements and long marrlngea. I don't see any souse In a fellow's sitting aronnd on the mourner's bench with the winners after he's renlly got religion. Tho time to size up tho other side's strength Is beforo the engagement. Some fellows propose to a girl be fore they know whether her front and her back hnlr match and then holler thnt they're stuck when they find that she's got a cork leg and a glass eyo as well. They start out on tho principle that married people havo only one meal a day and that of fried oysters and tuttl frutti Ice crenin after tho theater. Nat urally a girl's got her better nature and her best comploxlon along under those circumstances. But the really valuable thing to know Is how she ap proaches ham and eggs at 7 o'clock n. m. and whether she brings her com plexion with her to the breakfast ta ble. And these fellows make a girl be lieve that they're going to spend all the time between 8 and 11 o'clock p. m. for the rest of their lives holding HO pounds, live weight, in their lap and saying that It feels llko a feather. The thing to find out is whether, when one of them gets up to holding a ten pound baby in bis arms for five min utes, he's going to carry on as if it weighed o ton.
