The Time, The Place, The Opportunity! Next Thursday, February 24th, at North Laurens, the opportunity awaits all shrewd investors who arc desirious of getting- a good profit on a comparatively small outlay, in a short time. This is not a Get-Rich-Quick scheme, but a safe, sure, solid and sound attractive investment that is bound beyond question to bring handsome returns. From the many propositions we have had made us to buy these Beautiful. High, Dry and Level Lots at private sale, all of which we promptly refused, we would conclude that there is a most healthy and strong demand for this high class and eagerly sought after Suburban Property, lying right along side the proposed route of the Interurban Trolley Line. Laurens, Greenville and Clinton are wide-awake to the limit on this valuable acquisition to their respective, progressive and growing towns, therefore the greatest and keenest interest is centered on North Laurens. Don't forget the Free Lot and the Big: Balloon Ascension as Already Announced, Thursday, February 24th, at 10:30 a. m. The parade will form and start from the Court House Squ;ire, headed by the Manager, the Auctioneer, the Surveyor, and Prof. Charles Swartz, the Aeronaut; then comes the big famous Silver Cornet and Reed Band from Newberry, led by Prof. W. A. Wherrv. Musical Director and Conductor, followed by hundreds of eager purchasers in automobiles, carnages, surreys, rubber-tired buggies and other good turnouts, and you want to be right there in this grand money making procession. The Free Tickets to the Free Lot will be given out on arrival at the property; immediately after which the Auction Sale begins. Should Thursday, Feb. 24th, prove another inclement day, the sale with all attractions will be held on the First Fair Day thereafter. Be on hand early Thursday, February 24th.

Laws Regulating Marriage. When nineteen young women out of thirty working In one room of a cot ton mill are deserted wives, anil their husbands are probably already biga mists, and when it Is the consensus of opinion that a marriage license law is necessary to check this growing evil, it seems high time for South Carolina's legislature to enact such a lau. What is tbe justification in leaving this mosl defenceless part of the population to the morcy of unscrupulous men? This condition is the most p roll lie breeder of Immorality that could be devised, and it is a condition encouraged, am' even invited, by the absence of laws regulating marriages, or requiring any record of them. -The State. table of The Rabbit. "You're got to advertise if yoil want people to know you're on enrth," the Gorrilla said. "It's the lion's roar thai makes him the king of beasts. The person who makes a big noise gets to the front." The rabbit pondered these words and was convinced. Some time later he rose on his hind legs in a thicket and Screamed. A coyote, learning of the rabbit's whereabouts by his noise, hopped onto him and ate him. Moral: If you haven't got the goods don't make any noise at all.?Kansas City Times. An Advantage.

C. When Setting The Hens. A hen should never he set where other hens will lay to her or disturb her. If she has stolen her nest in a secluded place, well and good; hut if she wants to sit in ttie hen-house where the rest of the hens lay, she should be moved, which can easily be done after night, and by keeping the nest closed for a day she will gener ally become quieted down. The house where they are set should preferably he in another yard, or kept closed for a few day, as she will invariably go hack to her original nest, if allowed to go into her cdd run or yard. After she has been on probation several days she Is set on the eggs intended for her to incubate. Right now the work begins, for the time to light the head lice is just three weeks before the chicks are hatched. She is dusted thoroughly with a good lice powder, and this does not mean sprinkling a little over her while she is sitting on the nest. She is held in the lap and gone over thoroughly, holding back the feathers and getting the powder down next to her skin. She is then placed on the nest gently so as to keep as much of the powder in the feathers as possible. This dusting is repealed weekly until the chicks come off, when they will have a fair chance to live.?W. C. Taylor, in Raleigh (N. ('.? Progressive Farmer an Gazette. Twelve Things To l>o This Month.
