We agree with the Abbeville Press
and Banner tr.at the entire marriage J
license -:ees should go to the probate
judge, as there is a great deal of extra
work attached, and the office of probate
judge is not only a necessity 1
but it requires a man of more than average
ability to fill it. The Abbeville
paper is right on that.

If there should be any people o:
the county in the city today desiring to

a head of that time. He will do this
for their accomodation. TT.:e entire
receipts will be turned over to the ^

Two intelligent citizens were descussing
the situation. One said thai i

Jisguise. 'We believe that these two
prominent and sensible citizens ar/>
correct in tueir views.
Those who read the State's account
of the* mntinn nir*tiirps nnrtravine [life
Belgian war will want to see them at

says the scenes are very realistic and
more vivid than pen could possibly
make them. Children 15 cents in the

I had resolved thai I would writ:)
!iO mor.f, but the habit, like all other
bad habits, g^ts one in its grip and he
can't i'ip it. i had thought that 1
might be able to tell about the many
things that o'd Santa Claus left me.
but when I woke up on Christmas
morning and went to look at my
stocking and see what he had brought
me I found that I had gotten hold of a
stocking that had a great big .~ole in
it, and the nice things- ne left went
right oi. through, and 1 reckon got
burned up or went through the floor
and out to my neighbor. Well, if they
did I am not sorry, for no doubt my
neighbor needed them more U.'.an I
.And if it made my neighbor happy
I am glad. Because the only happiness
I am getting out o. life now is
to iind some one else who is happy,
and to be glad that some one is happy.
You know this is a curious old
world, and yet 1 reckon it is a pretty
good one after all. But there are
seme mighty curious people in it.
.1 uey say umes are nara, ana ue war
is the cause of it, and that money is
scarce and all that. Well, I don't
know much about money, because 1
i-e\er have any, and the thing don't
bother me much so long as I can have
one or two good meals a day and a
place to lay my head and rest, but I
was standing on a corner the other
day and I iheard a man talking aibout
money and the scarcity c: the thing,
and he said there was one thing that
he d: 1 not understand abouL ail this
ta'k. He said if you owed a man a bill
or the bank a note, and they found
that you had the money to pay it, anJ
cculd pay it without inconvenience
that than they were not near as anxious
that you should pay. The bank woul 1
be willing to renew without question,
but if you happened not to have tne
money and the bank found it out then
they were very insistent that you
should pay right then, and it would
be impossible to renew or get any
consideration at all. He said he coulc
not understand it all, and he was almost
convinced that money was no:
so scarce alter all, that times were
not near so hard as some of the grear. j
financiers of the South would have you j
believe. I didn't say anything because J
it was none of my business, but I I
thought a whole lot. That fellcw had j
never read his bible. Don t the good j
book say that to him that hath shall j
be given and to him that hath not i
s.'.:all be taken away even that he hath, j
c oO;.?ething like that. It is the old j
rule of being willing to help the fel- j
low that is going up tv:e hill with good j
and f:rm step and don't need your j
help, and kicking the poor devil that!
is in the ditch and going down the !
hill, to see how v'ast you c-an make him j
so. The strong oppressing the weak.'
0. well, it will all. come out right be- j
cause when -the few rich get all the j
lard and all the factories and all the;
mules and all the money they will'
want some of us poor devils to work
for em, or they will starve to death.'
TiK'i cur day will come urovided we
don't starve before then.

This is a great country after all.
The farmer is not near so bad off as
some of them think. He has got something
to eat and is living a great deal
better than many of us who live in
big cities like Xew.berry. Think of the,
good old pudding and sausage and
spare rrbs and cnittlings and hog jowl
and saurcraut that he is enjoying and
- . ^ I
t..at oic! r?aie or cotion tnai lie is silting
down on. And the cow Jhe is milking
while you are trying to milk a bicycle
or an .automobile. I read sometliiL'.;
the other day in the funny part
"f an o\1 newspaper that is_ pretty
good and I am going to give it to you.
Here it is. Read it:
Quest/on of Fool/shness.
A farmer was asked to buy a bi- j
cycle. "A bicycle won't eat its head j
off," said the salesman. ' They're j
cheap now, and I can let you have
one for $35."
"I guess I'd rather put the $35 into
a cow/* said ti e farmer, reflectively.
"Ha-ha,'* laughed the hardware
man, "you'd look mighty foolish riding
around your farmer on a cow, now,
wouldn't you?"
. _ . i
"Well, I dunno,' said tlie farmer, i
"no more fooh'sh than I would milk-1
ing a bicycle."?Christian Register, j
. . i
And here is something else that is ;
mighty true. I don't know who wrote '
it but he has hit the nail square on '
the head. I am not going to comment<
on it, but as the head line says it is!
"Good, as far as it goes."
Good, as Far as It Goes.
Good Americans will applaud Mr. j
TUirleson's advocacy of public ownership
of telephone and telegraph lines,!
b"t the need of the hour is a states- '
man with the nerve to advocate the :
public ownership of the United States '

which of course does not concern
?>ou, dear reader, but i sorter fell
;ike the artist made th?- iittle boy

j 1 amagine feel, whcse picture he put

Satur:h:\ Evening Post, uueu he got
his <'iins>lmHS present, lie Lives of

the artist put oil mat boy'.^
face is more expressive than anything
I have seen in many a day. It is worth
while for you to study i{. I imagine
i mine had just such an' expression
J when 1 got up and looked at my old
i stocking, until I found it, had a hole
; in it. and when I knew what Santa
i crcusrht me had s'iuDed Ion through
I and been delivered to my etaighbor and
| I was glad, and I know my expression
changed at once.
iMay every one be happy during a;!
! cf the year 1915. That is my wish, and
' that all of you will join me in play-'
I ing the glad game. And that some one

aive ready for immediate consumption,

meant is one like that whose praises
