A Farmer’s Store
Our storehouse is the farmer’s market place.
It is a square deal store where farmers can bring
their produce and know they are going to get the
best market prices that conditions afford.
Our Store is the place where the farnjer can
buy his flour, sugar, coffee, and feedstuff under
the same conditions as when he sells to us—the
square deal way. *
We are proud of the confidence the farmers
of this section have in us and we appreciate their
patronage.

REALLY MEASURES BY LIGHT
Instrument of Marveloue Dellcaey
That Does Ita Work Along Ex
tremely 8lmple Rule*.
The delicate measurements de
manded by modern processes and
machines have led to the invention
of many instruments of precision
that surprise the uninitiated by
their capabilities, which are often
based on extremely simple rules.
Among these is a little apparatus j
put upon the market for determin
ing the thickness, or, as one might
say, lack of thickness, of extremely
thin plates, wires and threads. The
inventor likens its action to that of
a lever in which a ray of light takes
the place of the beain. Essentially
the apparatus consists of two care
fully ground plates in contact with
one another, the upper one being at
tached to a movable arm. When an
object is placed between the edges
of the plates the upper plate is dis
placed a little in level, and the ef
fect of this displacement is magni
fied by a reflected ray of light which
falls upon a graduated scale. Thus
the most delicate measurements of
thickness are easily and quickly
made.
CHILDREN'S PLAY.
Summer weather, which permits
children to play freely out of doors,
has a distinct effect upon their play
habits and their overwhelming de
sire to get out into the fresh air
should be appreciated and met by
parents.
Get children together in outdoor
play groups. It is good for them
and easier for the mothers. L^t a
mother or several mothers or a play
group teacher or a really intelligent
governess supervise their play Ify
suggestion in such a way that the
children feel that they are at most
merely taking a suggestion from
their elders and working it out their
own way.
HE WAS PRACTICING.
A lady on entering the kitchen
early one morning saw a plate and
knife and fork, the former of which
had evidently contained cold pie.
The lady strongly suspected a cer
tain policeman of having supped off
it, and the following conversation
took place between her and the
cook:
“Mary, what has become of the
cold pie that was left?”
“Oh, I didn’t think it was wanted,
mum, and so I gave it to the dog.”
“Does the dog use a knife and
fork, then ?” the mistress sarcas
tically inquired.
“Not very well yet, mum, but I’m
teaching him to,” was the unabashed
reply.—Edinburgh Scotsman.
POWER OF CUSTOM.
‘'You gave up trying to regulata
bathing costumes?”
“Had to,” replied the seaside con
stable. “It isn’t reasonable to ex
pect a man to arrest his own wife
and daughters.”
JOHN WESLEY’S SPECTACLES.
Bishop Charles Wesley Burns of
Helena, Mont., is the proud posses-*
sor of the pair of spectacles that
were worn by John Wesley, founder
of Baptism. Bishop Burns says
Wesley wore the spectacles until he
received “second sight.” He says
Wesley gave the spectacles to Mrs.
Hester Ann Rogers, remarking.that
he would “have no further use for
them.” When Mrs. Rogers died the
spectacles passed into the possession
of an old family servant who gave
them to her pastor, Rev. Henry
Laugher.
The spectacles were brought to
America by Dr. Stevenson, presi
dent of the local conference in Eng
land, when he came here to attend
the Ecumenical conference. They
later became the property of Miss
M. E. Paugher, who gave them to
Bishop Burns.
HOLINESS MEETING

COM BS- R AIN W A TE R
*_
A simple but beajutiful wed
ling was that of Miss Mamie
Rainwater, one of the most
popular young ladies of this
community and Mr. Leon
Combs of Chicago, at the
borne of the bride, Saturday
afternoon, August 27, at two
/clock, Rev. Stewart olficiat
ng.
Quite a number of friends
and relatives gathered to wit
ness the ceremony and to
wish them every blessing that
God can bestow upon them.
After the ceremony they
:lepai ted for Chicago, where
they will make their home.
The bride is a prominent
member of our church and
Sunday school and is a very
popular young lady, who will
be greatly missed.
The groom, though living
*o far away, is well known
and well-liked here, as he has
:juite frequently visited rela
tives in this community.
Forty-one years ago in this
same community the father
and mother of the groom,
T/\L m WJ ii vt d T
TV . >_✓ V/ Alia.ri'f
Tunstall, were married Sep
tember 28, 1880.
It seems very fitting that
the son should choose a bride
from the same community
where his mother was reared.
May their days be ever
happy.
Pleasures many; troubles
few;
May their sun be ever shin
ing,
Bright and clear their
whole lievs thru.

BIG STILL DESTROYED
Ilogs Fed Mash Stagger and
Fight Each Other
Jonesboro, Aug. 27.—Sher
iff Johnson received a tip this
morning that a still was in
operation southeast of Brook
land and that if he would go
there he might be able to
make a rich haul. He secur
ed the services of Deputy U.
S. Marshal Burns, Constable
Copeland, Chief of Police
Craig and Deputy Sheriff
Cureton and motored up
there, 'they went armed with
high-powered guns and re
volvers, in the event that they
found anyone in possession of
the still who desired a fight.
They did not find the man,
but had no trouble in locat
ing the still, which they cap
tured, with 200 gallons of
mash in 19 barrels and one
gallon of whiskey. They
poured the mash out and de
stroyed the still. A large
number of hogs ate the mash
and all became very drunk
and fought each other vici
ously. The officers state
that the action of the hogs
was the most comical thing
they ever witnessed. They
have no idea who is the own
er of the still.
