"He's not at this end," apswered : ' cool feminine voice. Table Humor. She was eating her first country club ice cream and pointing to th< pistachio part in the centre she sai( to the young man she was dininj with. "What is that?" "Oh, that's an oasis," he replied "A what?" "An oasis?a little preen spot ii the desert, you know."?Boston Tran script. Working the Rube. When the bottom fell out of a re cent real estate boom in a South western State, the desire to pet ri< of the property was as preat as i had been to acquire it. One day a lawyer while travelinj alonp a country road met an ol< friend of his wearily but happib leadinp a reluctant cow toward town Inquiry elicited the information tha he acquired the cow in exchange fo a city lot. "And do you know," said the nev owner of the cow, laughing.

The noise re sembled the hoofbeats of a cavalry man's mount." "Perhaps it was a horse fly," sug gested the actor.?Exchange. \ WILKIN S VILLE I Wilkiiu /ille, S. C., Feb. 17.?It has ' been sometime since I have written a letter to The Times, but I have been reading it regularly all *he , ? time and take great interest in it. In nearly half century the paper has 1 been a welcome visitor to my home ~ and I feel much interest in the town " and county it represents. Since my last letter a cloud has come over my life and pathway that is impenetrable by human eyes and ^ at times I grope in darkness as it 1 were in the darkness of despair. " But a knowledge of the fact that the setting sun of today will be the , rising sun of tomorrow gives us " cheer and hope that the world cannot take away. Only those who have such experience will agree with me that the shock of a hundred battles is as nothing compared to the 2 loss of a dear and devoted, loving j wife, whose whole life was spent 2 in making hers an ideal and happy 1 home. No sacrifice was too great or ! r labor too arduous for her when the welfare of dependents was the object 1 for which she strove. For twentynine years she had been a teacher * in the Sabbath school and nothing ' gave her more pleasure than to teach 1 the little children to "Sing of a ' Saviour's dying love" and of his rising power. Since she was called < away from us on the 13th of January I have had letters of sympathy and < condolence from friends scattered from Washington to Texas. From these we have the assurance thav ! the writers are helping u.s to oeu. the burden, which if left alone to ; bear would crush us beneath its might. Her life went out as gentle ? J and quietly as the sun sets behind the western skies and we mourn not , as these without hope, for the Lord gave and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." ] Mr. F. A. Goforth, one of our best citizens had the misfortune to cut f his foot last week with an axe while t chopping wood. He was some distance from his home when the accident happened but he managed to get t to the house and called Mrs. Lee, . his nearest neighbor,_who with her y daughter, came to his assistance ami ] ? bound up his wound and it is doing very well, but it will be days and maybe weeks before he can walk on ] it again. It so happened that none ' of his family were at home when r the accident happened. ) Mr. Jonathan Buice, one of our old neighbors who now lives near Hick 1 ory Grove, came over and spent a few days last week with his friends , on this side. We were all glad to - see him and would have been glad for him to have stayed longer. Herbert Finley, the little five year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam J. r Strain, has been sick for several days j and Dr. W. A. Hard of Hickory ? Grove was called to see him and ) treated the case. He has grippe and 2 jaundice. Your correspondent ,was very 2 much disappointed in consequence of siA-nMSu in (li.. familu lu. ?li?l nnl <r..i x to attend the Laymen's Missionary convention in session in Charlotte, ' N. C. This convention is made up of representatives of the Southern . Presbyterian church and its object is ] ? to send the gospel to the heathen j lands as well as strengthen the faith , and influence of its members in the ] home land. The rain night before last has put our roads in bad condition again. The , writer had been over them and they j were in good condition last week, so much so that automobiles were running glibly last Sabbath. I met Mr. W. J. Morehea 1 of Blacksburg at Hickory Grove last week, he is an old neighbor of ours I I and a life reader and subscribe;* to t The Times and he speaks so well of the paper. r According to the old Dutch rule, "j today?Ash Wednesday, decides the r fate of the wheat crop this year. If * the day is fair it will be a good crop ( if otherwise, it will be a failure. But we take no stock in such only to merely mention it in passing. Messrs Sam. J. Strain and Asa ( Black well are doing some house- ' building and improving. ' Rev. Keaton, the new preacher on < the Gafi'ney circuit, preached at 1 Mopotamia last Sabbath. 'i here will be no fail moon ihi' month, this has not happened before since I860. We were so glad to have our friend "Moxy" call upon us last week. ' He is representing a marble and granite company in Spartanburg, anil ' doing a fairly good business in Cher- 1 okee county. He is a jolly good fel- ] 3 low, a fine talker, and no doubt would make one of the opposite sex an agreeable life partner. I allude to 3 this much for brother "Smike's" ben 3 elit as any other of The Times readers, except "Moxey" himself. _ Vox. | i 1 ho Guirilr.o That ?-a<; Hoi Af'eot The llr.Su .

A Georgia mule was Maudie, Who used to gambol free Thro' verdant fields and pastures Up there in Cherokee. Alas, one day a stranger Led Maud away from home, And sent her swiftly sailmg Far o'er the briny foam. To where the war was raging? And bullets fell like rain 'Mid rifle pits and trenches On Belgium's sodden plain. They hitched her to a cannon, And ordered her to go, In the tongue of F.mile Zola? A sound she d'.d not know! Poor Maudie was not happy? She didn't l'ke their style? She backed against the Frenchies , And kiekad 'em 'bout a mile. She scattered Sikhs and Tommies, And knocked the Turcos out, She busied up two autos, And then she wheeled about. And she charged upon the kitchen, And overset the soup; And 'round the general's noggin Her heels they looped the loop. ? She leaped the narrow trenches, And with a wild bazoo. She bade the screaming allies A resonant adieu. She charged among the Germans, Without a single wince? She smashed the line of battle .And trampled on a prince! pj Phev went for her with Zeppelins And Krupps and Rattling guns? Fhey tore the trees with shrapnel And deadly metal buns. But Maud just kicked and bellowed And switched her tail at such; Fr And tfidloped into Holland ga And took up with the Dutch. to< * ?: in Bad ltoads Did it. A farmer old, so we've been told, he With a team of horses strong, Qf Drove down the road with a heavy se( load, ^ ^ pe While singing his merry . song, pr But his mirth in song was not so long, Gf For his horses gave a leap, ye As he ran amuck in the mud he stuck, th Clear up to his axles deep. ja Bad roads did it! th, And a wheelman gay went out one his day thi A joyful morning spin; With the weather bright, his heart ja was light As he left the country inn, f0] But he went not far when he felt a th< J'ar ga Which started his troubles and he cares. Yc He was laid up ill, while the doctor's i;v bill Came in with the one for repairs, ho Bad roads did it! ~ in an automobile of wood and steel ho A millionaire prim and neat hij Went out for a ride by the river's te? side hil In a style that was hard to beat, I j, But, alas, he found that the broken sh< ground ' And the ruts and the holes so great Had smashed a wheel of his auto- ja mobile? ! What he said we cannot relate, i * Bad roads did it! j "( But we're glad to say there shines a ray Of hope that will right this wrong ! When in every State they will legislate To help the good roads along. So the man with his wheel or automobile Will never again get blue.
