In Danger of Burning
Sunday afternoon, while walking

of the residecce of J. I). Ward.
Running ijnicklv through the tial!
ami calling to Mrs. Ward, he found
that the poultry house was in flnn. s
and that little Wheeler Ward and
Ruth Peel, the little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Peel, were
in the house and in danger of being
burned. He pulled the scantling
off apd rescued the little sufferers
at one?. Mrs. Ward and .Mr:»
Peel were very much frightened,
and had to be restrains 1 from rush
ing into the house where the liite
children were. Wheel?r had tro
burns but Ruth's face vvaabli'.t.ud
a- well as her baud.-. She suffced
s jvcrvly and a ;>hysiciau was called

ief Acquainted with the Banter
Vn: hope many of our farmers!
are starting bank accounts LOU
that money lor the crops is
coming in. A man is more likely to
save his money if be has started I
pxrmnjj his surplus in a Lack; and 1
it i> a great convenience to be able
to make pa;, merits by check. I
When you pay a bill with csahl
you may hftvs.no record of its pay
riit 111; but a returned check with
the payee's (.ntlorsement on the
back constitutes a good receipt.
Not all farmers who have started
| bank accounts aowever,,are ds care
ful as they should be in writing
check. We have just received a
check on subscription written in
lead pencil. No check should
ever be written in pencil. It must
frequently pass thru several hands
before reaching the bank, and if
written in pencil, it is easy for the
amount to be Vaised.—The Progre

Words of Appreciation
—Wr are very grateful for the
me rev of Pi ovidetice hi seudlny to
tin* aid of our little children,
! Wheeler and Ruth, a preserver in
the person of A. R. Dunning, who
first discovered the helpless little
! ones on last Sunday afternoon when
I fire was eating its way to where
I they were standing. Mr. Dunn
ing's act was heroic, and our thanks
and appreciation are deeper than
any expression which is ours.
And to others who rushed in to
help as soon is the alarm was given,
we extend our heartfelt thanks
It is true that friends are always
near when your need is greatest.

John D. Ward.
Needs Care
Th: care or the public cemetery
should be in the hands of the
municipal authorities. It is not
enough that private families look
after their plo>s~ the general con
dition cf the whole is bad and
needs cleaning. Somehing should
be done at once, to remove the
UT-ightly collection of leaves,
trash, etc., in the place where the
bones of so many of the older*
residents of \V.illa*uston lie. If
the care r. Ir'ch is paid the cemetery

Si.oo a Year in Advance
In Memoriam
As the oM year comes to a close
and we i 4 ink over how good it has
been to us, our hearts are sad for
there i one missing who has a share
in our thoughts. Now our tear
tilled e\ts are turned to a vacant
chair that was occupied by a loved
one when the year began.
How feeble are words to carry
consolation to hearts bereaved of a
beloved sister. A tender, clinging
vine interwoven in sweet memories
from the hour the angels first gave
her to our home; a gentle spirit of
light that flitted in and out like a
gleam of sunshine While the
heart wonders and cannot under
stand God's providence in taking
the loved ones to himself. May
'ie pity and contort such hearts
tonight and cause His face to shine
upon theui.
"Sometime we'll understand."
Her sister Roland.

"Human Hearts"
Successful in its tenth season can
be said of few plays but it can be
said t-ruthiUllv of "II una-m Hearts"
A drama which provides healthful
recreation for the public and which
seems to instruct while apj eariug
in the foiru of aiiiu-emuit, is a
boon to any community. So many
questionable forms of aunueiuent
'ire tburst upon the ptYblic, the *
young 'end old alike find much in
til's bea-nt ful story to think
■ever ar.d enjoy ) >ug afterwards.
Kich in ii'tidtn'., in i's variety of
character-, iu lis s'aue seHiugs. it
is one of ihe few attractions of
great merit ou the road. The
spectator is into tbe delight
till atmosplitre of I: fe-in the Hills *
of Arkansas. The trcuble which
falls upon the simple folk of the
Logan Fatm, reminds cue of the
line -"The Trail A t:-e Serpent,"
WAIT,. The author has struck
many true notes in ihis play and
the well chosen cast blend their
harmonies with fine effect.
It is with pleati'.iiQ th.-.t Manager

usual time in advance. Regular

The people of Williainston will
remember that Human Hearts"
was seen litre about two years ago, ~~
being played by practically the
same company which will come
here next Friday night. The pro
duction here the first time was one
of the best ever *een on the stage
in the City Opera House, and those
who saw it then are as anxious to
witness another production. A
majority of our theatre-goers j
it is the best play, because it gets _
down into the lives and hearts of w
the audience, as it is intensely hu
man. ' " 0.,
