MISS SWANN IN NEW ROLE.
_____
Kingstree Lady as Art Contribu- <
tor to a North Carolina Journal, c
1 The Raleigh (N C) Times of Feb- (
1 ruary 5 contains the following:
"The Raleigh Times takes pleasure j
in announcing the addition to its j
staff of special writers of Miss Mary J
Lee Swann, who will contribute an
article once a week under the general
subject of "Adorning the Home."
The series will treat on interior decorating
and beautifying the home
along modern conservative lines. It
will be a feature which will appeal
to every lover of simplicity of art in
the home.
Miss Swann is peculiarly fitted to
do this work, being an instructor in
the Barnard School of Household
Arts at Columbia university. She is
well known to a number of people in
Raleigh, having resided here for
about two years. She left this city a
little more ftan two years ago and
nntorarl Pnlnmhia Qnrl flrlvnnPpH rflTV
iidly in her chosen work.
Miss Swann's series of articles on
"Adorning the Home," beginning in
this issue of The Times, will take up
each^iart of the home and discuss
the subjects one by one. The feature
will be one that should appeal to ,
every lover of the home into whose
hands it comes."
Miss Swann is a daughter of Mrs
M F Swann and sister of Mesdames
J D Britton and J P Hutson, of this
town. She is a young lady of unusual
talent, and we are glad that it
has received this well merited recognition.
KIND WORDS.
Young Lady at College Expresses
Appreciation ol The Record.
My Dear Mr Tolley:
I have just been reading the dear
old County Record, which is indeed
a treat to a poor homesick school
girl. It is something to which I
always look forward with pleasure
from week to week; for there are
but few things that I really enjoy
more than reading my own home
paper, through and through and in
and out. I enjoy every bit of it,
and never slight even the advertisements.
Now, since this dear paper means
so much to me, I feel that I would
like, in a small measure, to show my I
appreciation by writing a short
news letter about the college and
our work here, to The Record once
or twice a month; that is, if you ,
think my letters are worth printing
and can allow me the space in your ^
paper.
Hoping to hear from you soon, j
I remain,
Very sincerely yours,
Jennie Lee Epps. r
Columbia College, February 4.
We heartily appreciate the above
letter from Miss Epps and shall be J
glad to have a letter from her on
college affairs for publication in The
Record any time she may find it convenient
to write. Miss Jennie Lee v
Epps' appreciation shows that she is
a chip off the old block, for nearly v
every member of her father's fami- .
ly is a valued subscriber to The Record,
among them being one sister,
Miss Leila Mossie Lpps, wno nas ior
several years been engaged in missionary
work in Brazil.

number of the bride's friends.
The Best Recommendation. *
The strongest recommendation c
any article may receive is a favor
able word from the user. It is the
recommendation of those who have '
used it that makes Chamberlain's {
Cougrh Remedy so popular. Mrs c
Amanda Gierhart.Waynesfield, Ohio, t
writes,"Chamberlain's Cough Reme- c
dy has been used in my family off
and on for twenty years and it has
never failed to cure a cough or cold." e

For a Bilious Attack. d
j
When you have a severe headache, u
accompanied by a coated tongue, t
loathing of food, constipation, torpid 1
liver, vomiting of partly digested
food and then bile, you may know d
that you have a severe bilious attack. 2
While you may be quite sick, there [
is much consolation in knowing that
relief may be had by taking three of
Chamberlain's Tablets. They are j J
prompt and effectual. Obtainable ' (
everywhere. ' t
