HANDY WITH THE BRUSH
DEFICIENT IN BOOK LOBE
A young married couple, says an
eastern exchange, who recently went
to housekeeping on Clybourn avenue,
Chicago, according to the Inter Ocean,
had just enough money to buy the
necessary furniture, They had not
sufficient cash to invest in . mottoes
and pictures. The young wife is han
dy with the brush, but has consider
able yet to learn In books. She made
an effort to supply the deficiency in
mottoes for the wall by working at odd
times on plain cardboard with water
colors. . Here are some of the mottoes
that now adorn the Clybourn avenue
home.
"A stitch in Time is the Noblest
Work of God."
"What Is Home Without a Fool and
His Money?"
"People Who Live In Glass Houses
Flock Together,
"Birds of a Feather Gather no
Moss."
"Honesty is the Thief of Time."
"He who Fight and Runs Away
Gets the Worm."
"If in Union There Is Strength
Then Tls Folly to be Wise."
"Procrastination is but Skin Deep." j
"How Sharper Than a Serpent's
Child It is to Have a Thankless Tooth."
"The Sword Ain't in It with the
Pen."
"Early to bed and Early to Rise is
as Bad as a Fire."
"He that Goes a Borrowing Makes
a Man Healthy, Wealthy and Wise."
Great Oaks Should Keep Near
Shore."
"Economy ' Never Did Run
Smooth."
"Use the Rod and Save the Jam."
A CORRECTION.
In an item appearing in last week's
Issue, on the attitude of the lone Pro-
claimer tovards the the Lexington
band, the word "not" was omitted.
That part of the item should have
read as follows: "We do not believe
that the business men or the members
of the lone band approve of this slur
cast by Bro. Carter, etc."
COUNTY ASSICSSOK WAYLAID
J. W. Coulter, of Leslie, S. D.,
Assessor of Stanly County, relates the
following: "I was waylaid by a complica
tion of throat and lung troubles, bron'
chitis, asthama and a terrible cough,
which had affected me for years, when
I was persuaded to try Dr. King's New
Discovery. Relief came almost imme
diately, and in a short time a perma
nent cure resulted." No other medicine
compares with as a sure and quick cure
for cough and colds. It cures after all
other remedies have failed. Every
bottle guaranteed at W. P. Mc Millian's
drug store. Price 50c and $ 1 .00. Trial
bottle free.

SENTENCE SERMONS
By Henry F. Copo.
Need makes the neighbor.
The lowly heart finds the higher life.
Whiners are not winners.
Difficulties are but doors of delight.
It is better to right wrongs than to
revenge them.
No great work ever was done before
a mirror.
Too many men measure their horse
power by their exhaust.
The lazy man always Is proud of his
patience.
If your religion is not in everything,
it is in nothing.
Only a mercerized religion needs to
wear a label.
You cannot get at a man's heart by
getting under his skin. ;
The sins we wink at today are the
ones we work for tomorrow.
Things do not work together for good

to the man who will not work at all
It takes a wide-awake devil to make
a sleepy church.
There is a lot of difference between
working for folks and working them.
Many a man thinks he Is humble be
cause he walks vith his nose in the
gutter.
Long public prayers point to short
private practice.
It's easy to think you are standing
for public liberty when private license is
in your eye.
There is a world of difference be
ween the 'rule of gold and the golden
rule.
The Bible Is a good time card,' but
a man makes a mistake when he tries
to use it for a ticket.
You never can lift the submerged
so long as you fear to soil your sleeves
