ence. Mrs. Kenney Cele
brates Birthday. Death
of Mrs. ivey.
Recently, five carloads of pure fish
scrap were unloaded here to scores
to the farmers, this product being
something entirely new for them.
This fish scrap was shipped here by
the Seminole Oil and Fertilizer Co.,
of Florida, chiefly to their stock
holders.
The town is still under quarantine,
owing to health conditions, and Sun

ing no religious services.

a last tribute to her, and to place
flowers- on her bier.
Mrs Ivey was one of the earliest

During her days ot' activity, she
was always identified in everything
that was for the good of the town.
She was a pioneer worker of the
W. C. T. U., and what she has done
in interest of this, has been of lasting
good. She was a member of the Meth
-odist church and was faithful to it,
and was always found in her pew as
long as her health permitted
About three years ago she became
so feeble, she went to stay a while
with her daughter, Mrs. Schnell, but
was never sufficiently strong to re- j
turn.
Her children were devoted to her,
and every attention and luxury was
given her that she might be happy
and comfortable. Although so far
away, the other two living children,
Dr. Hugh Ivey of Atlanta and Mr.
Preston Ivey of Columbia, made
visits to her when she wanted to see
them. The. loving care of her daughl
er. Mrs. Schnell, was beautiful.
The funeral services were conduct
ed on Friday morning by Rev. Kel
lar of the Methodist church in th
home and later thc body was tender
ly laid to rest beside the grave of he
husband, two sons, John and Rains
ford being buried here also.

Miss Florence Mims Writes of
Her School in Boston.
Boston, Mass.
January 16, 1919.
iDear Advertiser:
j1 Down on the lower Fenway, a park
:n Boston, is situated a school named
h)r the great Leland Powers. I am at
this school. One of the other students
pd I were discussing the other clay
+n this particular
before I came, I saw the words
"Beauty,, Truth, Power." I did not
know then exactly what was meant
?by them. They clo not remain on thc
'outside however, but find their way
into the truthful, beautiful and
.forceful presentation of our art of
I the spoken word. Yet more than that,
?they show themselves in the minds,
the hearts and the actions of the fac
ulty.
I came to the school to learn what
I love, expression. 1 hope I shall re
imain for* even a bigger and better
'reason-to learn to interpret the best
'that there is in life, from good litera
ture to anyone I may read to.
! There is such a spirit of good will
?and good fellowship that the new
'student feels at home and the old
! student feels like the member of a
big family.
I The building is indicative of lofty
?thought with its pictures and statu
ary. There is room enough and love
?enough for all, and what we want is
time enough-a lifetime, in which to
j appreciate our school. Three cheers
Ifor the Leland Powers School!

To the Dyspeptic.
Would you not like to feel that
j your stomach troubles are over, that
:you can eat any kind of food that
you crave? Consider then the fact
that Chamberlain's Tablets have cu
rtd others-why not you. There are
many who have been restored to
health by taking these tablets and
ican now eat any kind of food that
I they crave.
Uncensored.
"I can not tell you where I am,"
wrote a British soldier to his family.
"I am not allowed to say. But I ven
ture to state that I am not where I
was, but where I was before I left to
go where I have, just come from."

A Faithful Army.
May the Lord bless the faithful
mail carriers! They brighten many a
home these cold, dreary days by car
rying to their very thresholds, every
morning, something new and fresh to
read. It may rain, hail, sleet - and
snow, but in the splash of mud and
ice, this army of humanity-blessers
never fail nor falter. And whatever
j- . -_
miles? Let us not think that the fierr
engaged in army service and border
duty are the only ones who are serv
I ing their country. This army of car
j riurs is likewise rendering service of
inestimable value. Be kind, courteous
j and thoughtful to your mail carrier.
I He earns all he gets for serving you.
, Has it ever occurred to you that a
hot cup of coffee or chocolate with a
.hot buttered roll handed to him with
?a smile about the noon hour, would'
! cheer his spirits and quicken His cir-1
Iculation these cold chilling days'; It'
?would make the blood in his veins
. How like quicksilver, singing to him
the sweet song of life; and then you
[would feel better too, and something!
would softly whisper deep down inj
your soul saying: "Inasmuch as ye I
' have done it unto the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto !
me."
Let your mail carrier know that !
you appreciate his faithfulness, j
Scores will .rush in to tell him of al
leged short-comings. Sa you hand
; him a rose, while others may prick
j him with a thorn. And say with the
poet: "Teach me to feel another's
?woe, to hide the fault I see; that mer
cy I to others show, that mercy show
to me."

j London, England, Jan.-An Amer- ?
ican soldier's capacity for chocolates
is a never ending source of wonder to
the Britisher; a wonder that has just
'been given additional stimulus by a
contract the Y. M. C. A. has closed
to take over a factory to manufac
ture 300 tons of chocolates in Eng
land every month. Up to date the Red
Triangle has been importing "about
150 tons a month, which was insuf?i
cent to satisfy the sweet tooth of the

P/?any Delegates Attend Aspar

Influenza in Full Forced .
D. A. R. Meeting.
The town of Trenton, which is lit
tle more than a collection of minia
ture farms, with the residences of
men who own larger, outlying farms
n-ottinir ?rjtp the bustle of th?
" I
farming interests.
The asparagus growers of this sec
tion aro looking, to their interests;
and a large delegation attended the

an active part in the profitable work
of asparagus growing.
With the exception of the! above,
little out of the ordinary was,
on in our town the first part o

Moss. Messrs. Wallace and George
Wise, Henry Wise and his daughter,
Miss Flossie; .Miss Lola Hunter, Mr.
I. A. Webb and his daughter, Miss
Cornelia Webb, and no doub.
of whom your correspondent'has
heard.
That highly esteemed lady. Mrs?
Manget, has been a weary sufferer
for weeks from that painful disease
known as "shingles." She shows as
yet, no sign of improvement.
On last Friday afternoon, the Mis
sionary Society of the Methodist
church held its regular monthly meet
ing at the home of Mrs. W. W. Mil

on this particular afternoon. The el
