vatlon In our school and the class hopes
to mako the exercises interesting.

churches have kindly consented to this
feature of thy closing of school and
will assist in the services. The choirs
of the different churches aro cordially
invited to furnish the music on this oc
casion.
The teachers aro now%uslly engaged
In reviewing and making thorough the
work gono over during tho session. It
is highly important that pupils attend
regularly and punctually during the en
tire session. One lesson omitted or one
interruption by tardiness or dismissal
from school causes that pupil to lose
that which he may never make up. Es
pecially Is this true during tho last
month of school.

to see and know that their children do
a reasonable amount of work at home.
Pupils often fall to be advanced into
the next higher grado simply because
they fall to put forth tholr best efforts
during tho last month of tho session.

AS TO
APPEARANCES
"Old Gorgon Graham" Advises Hb
Son About Clothes
From "UUtrt From a *W UaOa Mer
chant to TiU Bon," by Oooryo
Homes l/yrimcr
Dear Plorrepout?That order for a
carload of Spotless Snow Leaf from
old Shorter is tho kind of back talk I
like. We run stand a little nioro of tho
name sort of sassin?. I have told the
cashier that you will draw thirty a
week after this, and I want you to
have a nice suit of clothes made and
send the hill to the old man. Get some
thlng that won't keep people guessing
whother you follow tho horses or do
buck nud wing dancing for a living.
Your taste in clothes seems to be last
ing longer than the rest of your col
lego education. You looked like a young
widow who had raised the second crop
of daisies over the deceased when you
were In here last week.
Of course clothes don't make the
man, but they make all of him except
his hands nnd face during business
hours, and that's a pretty considerable
area of tho human animal. A dirty
shirt may hide a pure heart, but It sel
dom covers a clean skin. If you look
as 1/ you had slopt In your clothes,
most people will Jump to the conclusion
that you have, and you will never get
to know them well enough to explain
that your head Is so full of noble
thoughts that you haven't time to both
er with the dandruff on your shouldors.
And If you wear blue and white striped
pants and n red necktie you will find
It difficult to get close onough to a dea
con to he Invited to say graco at bis ta
ble, even If you never play for any
thing except coffee or beans.
Appearances are doceitful, I know,
but so long as they arc there's nothing
like having them dccelvo for us in
stead of against uh. Fvo scon a 10
cent shave and a 5 cent shine get a
thousand dollar Job and a cigarette
and a pint of champagne knock the
hottom out of a million dollar pork
corner. Four or five years ago llttlo
Jim Jackson had tho bears in tho pro
vision pit hibernating and living on
their own fat till one morning, the day
after he had run tho price of mess
pork up to $20 nnd nailed it there,
Borne ono saw him drinking a small
bottle just hefore he wont on 'change
and told It around among the brokers
on the floor. The bears thought Jim
must have had bad news to be bracing
up at that time in tho morning. So
they perked up and everlastingly sold
tho mess pork mnrket down through
tho bottom of the pit to solid earth.
There wasn't even a grease spot left
of that corner when they got through.
As It happened, Jim hadn't bad any
bad nowfl. He Just took the drink be
cause he felt pretty good nnd things
were coming his way.
ADVICE TO BOYS
Gel the Primary Business Virtues Into
Your Character
<fr-*
Boys are constantly writing me for
advice about how to succeed, nud when
I send them my receipt they say that I
am dealing out commonplace generali
ties. Of course I am, but that's what
tho receipt calls for, and if n boy will
take these commonplace generalities
and knead them into his Job the mix
ture '11 bo cake.
Once a fellow's got the primary busi
ness virtues cemented Into his charac
ter he's safe to build on. But when a
clerk crawls Into the office In the morn
lug like a sick setter pup and leaps
from his stool at night with the spring
of a tiger I'm a little afraid that If I
sent him to take charge of a branch
house he wouldn't always bo around
when customers were. He's the sort o
a chap who would hold back the su
an hour every morning and have i
gain two every afternoon if the Lort
would give him the same discretionary
powers that he gave Joshua. And 1
have noticed that he's the fellow who
Invariably takes a timekeeper as an In
sult. He's pretty numerous In business
offices; in fact, if the glance of the hu
man eye could affect a clock face in
tho samo way that a man's country
cousins affect their city welcome I
should have to buy a new timepiece fo.
the otllco every morning.?From "Let
tors From a Self Made Merchant to
His Sou," by Qeorgo Horace Lorimer.

FARMERS AUE BEHIND.
Effect of Continued Bad Weather in |
Brewerton Neighborhood.
Brewkrton, April 22.?Mrs. Mar
garet Balentlne, who has been confined
to her bed for sometime is up again.
Hie farmers are quite busy, some
preparing their land, somo planting
with a rush. There is a general com
plaint of hard land owing to the rains |
and winds. The cold snap has mater
ially interfered with gardening and
the coming up of seeds planted. The]
outlook Is rather gloomy.
The Easter service held at Har-!
mony last Second Sabbath was a suc
cess. The children rendered their
pieces well. The service was intended
as a missionary rally. The contribu
tion paid in by the children amounted
to $8.00.
Our community has a biweekly prayer |
meeting, which meets at Harmony
every Saturday night-, and one at the
several neighbors' houses Wednesday.
This certainly speaks well for our peo
ple.
There was an ordination of two dea-1
cons at Pooler Springs last 3rd Sunday.
The deacons ordained were J. P. Sim
mons and J. W. Simpson.

High Class Fertilizer.
The intelligent farmer in careful to
know w 1)ut he is buying when he gets
hi* Fertilizer supply.
I am offering Koyster's Guanos und
Adds.
It is a well known fact that Mr. Roy
ster uses Fish Scrap entirely for Bra
moniated goods. He uses no cotton
seed meal. These goods have been
used for several years in Laurons
County and have given universal satis
faction. Koyster's acids are Second to
NONE.
i am also handling the celebrated
Ober & Hons Co.'s. guanos which are too
well known to Lauren 9 farmers to need
any recommendation.
These goods a man can consclon
tlously commend as being all that Is
claimed for them.
I shall be glad to have your orders
and inquiries.

ON THE SURFACE,
thinly plated Silverware
looks like the solid ware. You
can tell the difference in the way
it wears, but when the article
you bought for solid or triple
plated turns out to be thinly
plated , what are you going to
do about it?
Goods bought of us are
sure. We know what they are,
and we tell you, fully and frankly
all we know about everything
you ask to see.
Everything is protected by
our full guarantee , " It's better
to be sure than sorr}'."

NOT GET ENOUGH
of our Soda after you're once tasted it. Does

but tells you at the first lip-touch that the flavor
is the honest flavor of honest fruit, and that
the snap and vigor and tonic qualities is the

Men We Want to Talk To:
If?j believe lhat if every man in Laurens was a
clothing expert?if every man in Laurens knew
the positive facts in the case?that every man in
Laarens would come straight to us for all iris
Clothing. Each week we will publish a Utile ar
gument on this subject. This week's argument is
directed
To the Man who
Wants to Dress Economically.
Buying tho host is the essence of truo econony. Good Clothing
's oheaper than poor Clothing?no matter what tho respective prices
may bo.
Wo sell tho best clothing
that can bo made, and the prices
are not high?an excellent suit
for either business or dress wear
can bo bought for tho modest sum
of 10.00, 12.50 and 15.00, and
it will outwear any two suits that
ordinary stores sell for about the
same money?and it will retain
its shapeliness long after the
average garment will be a mere
bundle of wrinkles and bagginess,
MOTHERS who want their
boys to have the best and most
economical suit that her boy can
wear should call here.
OUR LINK. OF SHOES and
SLIPPERS for Gentlemen, La
dies, Misses and Children arc all
that can be put in a Shoo for the
low prices we arc offering. See
ing is bolieving.
We have them at all prices.
Then, the price is not much con.
sidering tho quality. Prices
range from 50 cents to $5.00.

We do not know of any place where
a Lady can dress as economically as she
can here. We make a study of getting;
the newest and best things at the
smallest possible price. New things
