I am not dead; I am just
recovering along with some of the
other boys from a severe attack of

several of the school-ma'ams of the
surrounding neighborhood. It is
especially lonely now "down by the

is singing the old hymn,
"Yield Not to Temptation."

arrested here yesterday on eight
warrants, all charging forgery in
connection with the filing with the
i Equitable Assurance Society, of
which he has been the local agent
for years, of alleged fraudulent

Jones forged the names of the

declares are false, and it is further
alleged that such practice has extended
over a period of several years.
Saturday afternoon three warrants
were sworn out by Br F E Vander
Veer, a physician employed by the

HIGH TIMES AT
OLD JOHNSONVILLE.
(Continued from poxe 3)
Mr L A Taylor was an inspiration
to all. When "Slim Jim" and
"Clumsy Claud" appeared on the
scene, and after a chase. Clumsy
Claud caught Slim Jim and exclaimed?"Ha,
Slim Jim, what's the difference
between capital and labor?
Well, if I give you ten dollars that
is capital, if I get it back that is
labor."
Best last. Those baskets tilled
with spring chicken, lake bream and
everything you could think of were
unloaded on long tables and gracefully
served by "sweet sixteens" of
the Home Keepers' club.
After dinner, Vox played Prospect
in a game of baseball, the score
being in favor of Vox, 14 to 10.
Come again, Prospect!
Mr L A Taylor's remarks, referred
to in the foregoing, were as
follows:
"Friends! Patrons!?I remember
AtTT i
wry wen, vcij paiuj.utijr wen, nvw
my mother used to drill into me that
old, old adage, 'Where there's a
will, there's a way', and I must
confess to you I had no faith in it
since mother had to verify the statement
with a half dozen peach
sprouts a half dozen times a day.
And oh, my, that old peach tree!
What magnificent sprouts it would
sprout. But here, these energetic
teachers with the liberal co-operation
of friends and patrons, have, in
spite of the money panic, equipped
our building with every modern improvement.
The installation of
single desks, a set of 8 Johnston's
maps in patent case, a globe, pictures,
60 feet Hyloplate board in
both rooms, a large school dictionary,
teacher's desk, an $18 sanitary
drinking fount, and a library worth
$55.00. This equipment with the
corn club, tomato club, flower club,
and, last and best, the Cooking, or
Home Keepers' club, the largest in
the county?I say these things stand
for progress. The boys have their
corn planted, the girls have their
tomatoes growing, and we see the
flowers blooming and oh, my, the
good things these Home Keepers'
club girls have been feeding us on.
Really, Mr Speigner, I wish you
could have stepped into my home
one afternoon when they had their j
first meeting, and seen the table
loaded with the nicest cakes?pound

ITUKe, cuucuiuie CariC, JCIIJ uinv,
Lord Baltimore cake?I mean Lady
Baltimore cake?the kind they stick J
together with icing full of raisins, I
fruit and nuts.
"Then. Brother Morris, I wish you
had been with us at a reception
given here, following the unveiling
of the portraits of Gen Lee and Gen
Washington, when these cooking
club girls served, in such such appropriate
colors, their daintily prepared
refreshments. Boys, when
you are ready for your better half,
you had better come to Vox. When
this school gets through with a girl
she'll be fit for the "wife of a king.
"We have not onlv lengthened the
term, but Mrs Dickson has given
every spare moment to teaching
music and now these music pupils
are able to read their music, and
charm us with their sweet songs."
Florence has just inaugurated a
regular "jitney" service about the
city. Cars make trips every fifteen
minutes.

On aqcount of the fact that all
kinds of paper and materials used
in job printing are higher than ever
before within our experience, we
find it necessary to require cash on
delivery for all job work. We feel
sure our friends will appreciate the
necessity that compels us to this
course and help us by paying promptly.
On account of poor collections
and falling off in advertising patronage,
we have lost on an average
since January 1,1915, $100 a month.
Printers have to be paid every Saturday
night and our other expenses
have increased until it has never
I cost us so much to run the business.
Some cash must come in or we shall
be forced to the wall. tf
He Got the Number.
An amusing incident took place the
other day in a large railroad goodsyard.
A new man was sent to unload
a wagon and to check the list of goods.
He did the work, but forgot to fill in
ho nnmhor of the waeon in its place
on the form.
On this being pointed out to him
he departed, and returned after an absence
of half an hour, and banged
down the castiron number, wrenched
from the side of the wagon, remarking:
"Shur^, the next toime yez want
the number of a wagon, ye can go for
