THE SIMPLE LIFE.
It is to l>e doubted if there was |
cvt-r a man who died from over
work. Since Adam dug in the gardan
of Eden down to the present
tini" work has been a wholesome
tiling for humanity. It is the worry
that does the killing and not the
work. An humble minister recently
wrote a little book whose modest
title was "The Simple Life." Kings
and presidents and princes and
scholars and students the world
over read the little book and exclaimed
"Wonderful!" "Beautiful!
'"Helpful!" And so it was; "a 11
tnis and more, but something like
two thousand years before the same
thing had heen said and better said
by .j. sirs Christ in a dozen short
Y'Ts'-s. "be not anxious for the,
morrow. ' "Suflicicnt unto the
day i-s the evil thereof." That is,
every day has it? full measure of
cure* and, therefore, a man should
not draw into his life the cares of
"tomorrow" and the next. Many
men take up a year's future anxie- j
t, and carry them about their
n-cks to-day. Some of these "trials'
an I tribulations" are good for a

Excelsior Mills, June 10th.?\
took si trip through and arou
town today, in search of soniethi
of interest to give out to your ina;
readers. We found every thi
quiet and serene. We heard
hut two deaths in the last wet
They were very snialll children, o
of Mr. Worley the other of a \
Rogers. We were not informed
to the cause of death in either cas
We take pleasure again in spea

John lirewington as teacher t>f in

His last term closed out Saturd
night the 10th. We were rclial
informed that the entertainim
was a success, from beginning

songs. We have no doubt but tl
lircwington will long be rememb
d by many of our people.
Tiiere seems to be an exoc
close at hand by many of the 11
people for the Old North Sta
Especially those whose homes ha
been in the good old North Sta
as they term it, and a few are bei
sent by Mr. (iault to work in t
Knitting mill at Newberry, S.
So you see we have moving ai
shifting around here in these di
gings.
()ur people are highly pleas
with the People's Insurance Cot
pany's workings, as wet learn nit
of them everyday. Several in o
own town have been paid week
benefits. We are most heartily
favor f any good insurai e , but f
poor laboring people we think t
People's Insurance Co. beats the
all, as it gives protection to the i
surcd while living, and a sufficie
fund at death to give a decent bu
ial. So my advice is, all who e:
get insurance in this compai
should do so at once, not wait t
you get siek or hurt, for then yt
can't get it. Jo-Jo.

At night he preached at the Kit

age of his convictions and awn

opportunities of the Lord. Th
ended two days work that will
down in the history of many liv
of people who will look back in t
great eternity with rejoicing.

Julian Thomas Comes to Earth.

balloon containing Julian P. Thomas
and Charles Levee, which left New
York Sunday evening, landed near
South New Berlin Monday morning
at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Thomas said-the
trip was a success in every way and
that it would have been possible to
have gone much further.
John W. Shiver, Americus,
Ga., writes: "We are car
load buyers of Wadsworth .
Paint and heartily recommend
it to the trade." The best:
evidence that Wadsworth .
Paint is the best paint to use,
is the fact that others have
found, and still find, it to .
give the highest degree of -
satislaction.
It gives the highest satis- .
faction because it combines
economy, durability and
beauty, the three requisites
for the best paint. Therefore
Wadsworth is the best
paint to use.
