C. , Dear Sir: As your business is to get people into and out of trouble, suppose you consider their paint; it makes tbem almost as much trouble as money, except of course matrimony. They buy poor paint a good deal; they don't mean to; they don't know any battel; they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't good. It looks good enough for a year; then begins to get rusty: but changes so slowly, one don't notice it Looking isn't all. The business of paint is to keep a house dry inside, tli3 wood and iron of it; keep it from rotting and rusting. ?Takes good paint to do it, Good and bad paint are sold at oue price or about that'. Ooi can't go by pride stall; as with lawyers the price has nothing to do with goodness or badnfes; and costs are worse yet; the painter and sheriff come in for their share. But the probability is that a man, who paints Devoe, will come-out on top. Yours truly, 16. F. W. Dbvoe Jk Jo. Honor Roll of Joncsvillc Graded Schools for Month Ending October 4o. 1.4 n 4 . T :i..

I No movement calling for popular aid or co-operutivo assistance on the ' part of the legislative and tMnimcr* cial bodies hus made such vapid progress in so short a time us the good road movement in the South. While thia movement is general throughout the country and seems to be attract ing all elements to its support, in the South, where great natural resources are being developed at an unprecedented rate, and where facilities for transportation aro a matter of immediate, pressing concern, largely made so during the past three years, this subject of improved country highways is taking deeper root with the people than iu most other sections. The commerce of the world comes primarily from the ground, and as a rule the cost of transporting a product is relatively higher in the initial stage?from the lield or mine to. the railroad, river or canal?than in any other nart of its innmnv i r? tlm \im*M 'a r J j V..W ?J markets. The most expensive and the most oppressive kind of transportation is wagon transportation, where it is accomplished over bad roads. In recent years so much has been done to perfect traffic relations between Southern Railway points and all the great commercial centers, not only of this country but of the world, that it is simply logical to exlend the system of economical distribution of products to the home of the farmer, and the way to a <-omplish this is through the improvement of the country wagon roads.? The Southern Field. Sedalin Chronicles. We are enjoying this frosty good weather with all the pleasure possible. A good time to kill hogs you know Mr. Editor, and you know when the "tater" roasting and "goober" grabling, beer ranking, pop corn parching, and above all "lasses" candy making etc. time comes around we pile up the wood in the corner and say?but we don't mean with the foolish man?eat, drink and be merry. And I tell you there is no foolishness attached to such contentment, nothing but thoughts of future's pleasant realities. I had the pleasure of being an eye witness to the pretty marriage of Miss, Josie Murphy to Mr. Cromwell Donely on the 17th. Miss Murphy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Murphy of this place, and the marriage toftk place at their home by Rov. E. C. Watson, her pastor, in the presence of the many relatives and friends; the wedding march was softly chimed by Mrs. W. H. Smith, of Union. Miss Murphy was one of the brightest gems our community atrorded, and will be missed so much in her home circle, at Sunday school, prayer meeting,4 and one of the most prominent places, the Ladies Missionary Society, but we listen, and we bear that the Lord works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. Mr. Donely's homo is in Charleston, and the people of Union know him to be a-prominent, quiet business man. They took the noon train Wednesday bound for Charleston, and we extend to them our hoartiest congratulations. Mrs. W. H. Smith and her little son, Master Carl, are out enjoying the fresh country air with us. Mrs. Smith has been very sick, and we hope her trip will improve her, as this is the home of her childhood, and she has now beou away, only at snore intervals, eleven yours, and sho thinks a great many things tuke place in us kids, which does, as she used to see us rolling spools in the sand, and making frog houses, but ah ! Wtoat do you suppose she sees or says she does? And that is some little girl, as it were, making step ladders, or stilts, to see if "wo" had sprouted moustacho. Weil, she alwuys cohld seo right well, J used to think, but I guess eleven years of maturity she can see more singular iy. Well, I enjoyed a musical at the home of Mrs. M. S. Murphy on last evening 10th inst. I certainly did ' have a fine time, but I thought the closing exercises best of all, and you know that must have been saying good night at the gate.' too Unaoio M HIok r\ f Waal has charge of the school at Padgett's Creek. Miss Bessie is a prominent teacher, and the only objection that any of ns Cbuld have to her, is that she keeps her heart and attentions toward home, or somewhere else, as it don't come toward us as we would have it. But I know I'll never give up in deBpair, for I heard an "old bach" say the other day that he was still in hopes The Woman's Missionary Society had a most delightful exercise on drd Sunday at Padgett's Creek, of which Mrs. R. M. Lee is ^president, Mrs. W. T. Davis vice-president, Miss Bertha Humphries secretary, Miss Agnes Wilburn treasurer. All the exercises were conducted with perfect ease and showed such a Christian spirit. The collection amounted to about $20, which I think did splen lidly. ^ Bat what I am looking forward to , is the good women say wo little boys must have a society, and we know > that if we could just get the good women to lead us we could make a success. < Miss Fannie Andorson, of Union, ' has the Prospect school in charge, I and I think she hus made a most favorable Impression on all the pat* 1 rons.
