Shoes to Last a Lifetime.
Say, Mr. Stioedealer, would
you rather have your cjistrtmrs
speak of your shoes as wearing
well, as not running down at the
heel, as turning water, and tak
ing a shine; or wag their heads
and say nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals, say: "We want some
more paint, and we want Devoe. ''
We kuow it isn't in human nature
to paint very often: we don't ex
pect them to come verv often;
don't want 'ein to. Ali we want
is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint it;
the longer the time, the surer
they are to come back. There's
business enough in the world;
there are houses enough to paint;
let 'em take their time.
If we were a shoemaker, we'd
make shoes to last half a lifetime,
and shoe the whole town.

PLUM RUN.
The Sunday school held in Wil
liam Stone's grove under the su
pervision of Captain Dottermau
of the Salvation Army, observed
their Rally Day on Sunday eve
ning the 13th inst.; and, although
it threatened rain, the grove was
crowded with people.
The tent and grove were well
lighted and beautifully trimmed
with American and Sunday school
Hags and with flowers. The
crowd, in general, gave good at
tention and the program was well
rendared. It consisted in part
of vocal and instrumental music
interspersed with some really
hne recitations, among which was
one given by Mrs. William Stone,
entitled "The Stylish Church."
There was alsc addresses by the
"Captain," M. L. Truax, and
Blair Truax on the object, work,
aud worth of Sunday schools.
Also, an address by Mrs. John
H. Gordon, who is teacher of the
Bible chvss, and who gave the
history of the organization and
work of the Sunday school. All
the addresses were good, full of
vim, to the point, and held the at
tention of a largo crowd. The
flag drills and enthusiastic reci
tations by the small children
were much enjoyed.
Captain Dottermau has proven
himself to be a very proficient
and resourceful Sunday school
leader he having recently con
ducted a very successful Chil
dren's Day service in the same
grove. Althrugh the field from
which this Sunday school is gath
ered is small -lying between th'e
churches of Zion and Damascus
its work has been quite a suc
cess. S. S. WOBKKR.
There appears to be a misap
prehension about the game laws
of the State, some people having
gotten the idea that there were
changes made this year. As a
matter of fact there have been no
changes made since 11)07 and
none will be made before 1909
when the Legislature meets.

Destroy Them.
Often old letters containing
family secrets are kept, and fall
into hands ot unscrupulous per
sons. Kvery old letter, unless it
is an imxrtant business one,
should be consigned to the flames.
Don't trust them to some one
else to be burned, but see your
self that they are destroyed.
Again and again death has reveal
ed secrets that never should have
been revealed, because old letters
have come to liifht. There are
dead and gone facts in the his
tory of every family that never
should be dragged to the light,
and never would be, if some la
dies did not have the foolish hab
it of putting away old letters to
keep.
Hut the worst thing of all to
hoard is old medicine. Every
family should have its medicine
shelf or chest or closet with cam
phor, arnica, vaseliue, and such
remedies, ever at hand, but the
foolish habit of saving bottles of
medicine used in special cases,
is a dangerous one. As soon as
the patient is well, empty out ev
ery bottle and clean it for use if
the medicine is harmless and the
bottle is really needed, but other
wise destroy it at once. The best
way to dispose of broken crock
ery, tin cans and old bottles, is
to save the pieces in barrels until
quite a quantity is obtaiued.
Then dig a deep hole in the gard
en aud pound them down well in
the bottom. Cover again with
the earth, and you have a well
draiued bed for anything you
wish to plant. "The Habit of

find it a most excellent medicine."
Mr. Harden is right; it's the best

conditions. Best too, for chills

Suggested By a Lady.
"Let me have five two-cent

the polite young man behind the
counter in the postoflice.
"Yessum," he said, handing
them out.
"Can't you let me have them in
one piece f" she added.
"Certainly, ma'am," said the
young man. "Uan l send them
home for you V"
"Oh, no; I don't live far away,
and I am going straight home. I
wouldn't put you to the trouble."
"No trouble at all," said the
polite official. "I haven't very
much to do to day, and 1 could
easily spare an hour."
"Very much obliged," said the
lady, smiling sweetly. "Dear
me," she added, putting on a
stamp, "what a bother it is to
stamp letters! Why can't we
send letters and let the postoffice
send in their bill once a month P"
"They might just as well," said
the obliging young man sympa-
thizingly. "I'll mention the fact
in my next report to Washington."
"Will you? Bow nice? But
you musn't mention my name.
Say the idea was suggested by a
