The happy couple left on the eleven o'clock train for the mountains of Western North. Carolina. The brjde was never more attrac tive than on her wedding day. By her charming personality and her bright, happy disposition, she has endeared herself to scores of friends in her home'town who regret that her mar riage will taue her away.

Editor The Advertiser: "Education forms the common mind as the twig is bent the tree is In clined." At this time the quotation Is apropos for had K-aurens years ago striven to higher education col leges would have been here and If we fall to get this much coveted one in Chicora, then Pope's dictum that the twig was bent wrong Is confirmed for it simply means we were and are yet too material. A bank account is a good thins, but knowledge Is power also. Selfish, material and cold blooded Indeed would be any parent who would hold money In lieu of that light of intellect, that refined air, that ease and gra olousneas, that adorns a pretty maid en. You hear of nature unadorned in the wild imagination of some au thor's mountain heroine, but she is a fake; that author wns probably writ ing looking into the refined face and pretty eye of a Vassar girl, this the inspiration and the Vis a tergo an Osmosis, as they both reclined on a seat made of worn volumes of Mrs. Hemaons, Mrs. Browing, Ella Wheeler Wllcox, Mary Johnston and even of Old Harrlette Reeehos Stowe?the blaeknes of her ingenious plat soft ened by verdant leaves plucked from Mrs. Wigg's cabbage patch. Talk of education. Hadn't you rather Incline on such support than an ordinary rustic bench? So with one accord let's all of ev ery sect and station affirm with a virile "Yes, we will," ralso the money, and not the puerile question "Can we raise It?" If wo do not, let's go away back and sit down until Halley's comet 7f> yoarB from now, appears. We will not have another opportunity as good in that time and by then some of us will be so blunted by dullness of hearing, dimness of vision and absence of teeth that an earthquake would barely jar us and a mush and milk diet would appeal to us more than the refining Influences of a dozen col leges.

Mr. Elmer Baldwin of Barksdale brought into the Advertiser office the other day a most peculiar freak of nature In tho way of an apple. This apple seemed to he a combination of half a dozen or more little ones, there being that many stems to the fruit. Not being a fruit expert, The Advertis er "apple editor" couldn't exactly get at the cause of this freak but simply guessed Chat a good many apples want ed to live in this particular spot and not desiring a split In the party, join ed hands and went In cahoot. Off for Big Fish. Mr. W. Carl Wharton gathered a large number of his fertilizer cus tomers this week and carried them down to Charleston Monday morning to indulge in a few days of fishing for big bait.

Lauren* Mill Dividend. In enumerating the corporations that paid dividends on the first of the month, The Advertiser failed to make mention of the Laurens cotton mill, which paid out a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent. This is gratifying to the large number of stockholders and friends of the corporation. An Easy Solution. "How can I make both ends meetT* "Easy. Pot roast beef at one end of the table and fried chicken at the other That's one way to make botn ends meat."
