Local Editor: Guess all of the cous
ins have forgotten, me as it has been so
long since I have written. Hello cous
in Ray and Earl, have you all named
your little brother yetf George Staley
write again, your letter was fine. I
"agree with you about wearing false
hair. Iou 't you all think it is time to
stop writing little verses and write
more interesting letters? Did - you all
hear abtmt Mr. Baxter Barkley getting
drowned in the Yadkin Riverf He was
drowned close to our house.! It is bad
for boys to go bathing on Sunday. I
don 't guess he had tune to ask the
question "what shall -be the sign of
thy coming and of the end of the
world.'" as the disciples did, but most
carefully the Lord answers this ques
tion. He first reviews the great events
which were to take place on the earth.
Jerusalem was to be destroyed, the true
people of Oot were to pass through the
most terrible period of persecution
which hail ever come ujon God's peo
ple. The nations of the earth were to
be rent with wars. Oreat: calamities
were to come upon the earth, such as
famines, pestilences and earthquakes.
These were to become more frequent
and desolating until the final plague of
God should end in its destruction. As
the days of this world's history should
draw, to 'a close, our Saviour promised
tha unmistakable signs. would appear in
the heavens. The sun would be dark
ened, the moon would refuse to give
light, and the stars would fall from the
heavens. Within the lifetime of the
people now living the heavens have
been ablare with the glory of these
very signs which the Lord said were to
proclaim to the world that! its end is
near, and that , the second j eoming to
the earth of the Creator and Redeem
er is the next event before them. The
Lord said, "Take heed that no man
deceive you. " ,

LOBETTA HOLDS IT UP AND
TELLS WHAT SHE SEES,:
HOLES III HER HOSE,
Attraction by Vulgar Exposure Does
Not Win Husbands Decent Men
Like Modest Women.
The holes in your stockings are not
the kind that need darning, at least not
with a needle. And you would not fill
them up for anything! It is funny to
watch you at the stocking counter, of
a department store. Very carefully
you thrust your hand into the covering
that has nothing of the fine "art which
so artfully conceals," but possesses all
of the revelatory power intimated in
the rest of the! " quotation, "yet all
things DISCOSE8." If the mesh, is
close you toss the stockings conteni
tuously back on the counter and look
daggers at the clerk for her indirect as
sistance to your withering modesty. You
want the tissue! effect or the lac Test of
open work.
So Terribly Fussy.
Here is a letter fromi the girl who
wrote the fussy! letter about her hatred
of dirty finger nails. By the way, she
took the reproof like a major. You re
member that I told her she needn't be
so terribly fussy as to make the con
dition of fingerj nails the standard by
which she judged people. I intimated
that she might have holes in her stock
ings and that might get on the nerves
of others as much as finger nails both
ered her. i
"My Dear Friend Loretta: When I
wrote you, asking you to ferule the
girls who had dirty nails, I didn't ex
pect to receive the whipping myself.
But you gave j it' to me. You said I
was fussy. So I took it without
flinching till I j came to the intimation
about the holes in my stocking. I
NEVER WORE A STOCKING WITH
A HOLE IN IT IN MY LIFE. But lots
of girls do. And there are. LOTS OF
HOLES. And all plainly visible! Ac
tually placed there 'to ATTRACT AT
TENTION! These thin and openwork
stockings nre almost as immodest as
going barefooted. And the girls al
ways wear short skirts and low shoes,
so that their legs are revealed to view.
Of course, no ielf-respecting girl would
think of exposing her bare legs in the
presence of the opposite sex. But these
perforated stockings are practically
equivalent to (the same thing. And of
ten "barefoot" sandals aggravate the
impropriety. jNow Loretta, won 't you
please make these girls hold out their
hands for a .whipping! As you have
punished me, pretty severely, please let
me off this time, and apply your ferule
where 'I suggest, so instead of my pre
vious signature, I sign myself "THE
GIRL WHO j HAS BEEN FERULED
ENOUGH." I
No dog that chased an intruding cat
up a tree ever undertook the job witk
more real enthusiasm than I accede to
this girl's request. These abominable
excuses for stockings fill me with the
same indignant protest that I feel when
I see a girl 'robbing herself of one of
her most genuine attractions, modesty,
aud wearing a porous waist that is sim
ply a libel on a class of entirely useful
and modest garments.
Called It "A Game."
I once visited iir" a very rigidly re
ligious place,j where dancing was looked
upon by. the older people as a direct
manifestation of the. devil's presence.
And the yoking folks actually danced
the two-step right under the religious
noses. But jthey called it "a game."
i ou girls call these airy nothings with
which you jelothe your limbs, stock
ings, but I do not happen to be in the
backwoods class.! ou cannot cover from
me or from hundreds of other intelli
gent people the fact that what you seek
is the revelation1 of charms. Personal
ly, I HATE" that queer whitey-black
look that thin stockings give which
you think appeals to the eye of man.
Listen to me! The admiration which
you attractj by a vulgar exposure of
your physical beauties is XOT the kind
that wins husbands. Lovers? Yes; ier
haps. But deeent men like MODEST
WOMEN. And a decent man is the
only kind worth while as a H USB AN D.

THE YOUNGEST GRANDMOTHER.
Case of Mrs. E. W. Bender One of the
Most Remarkable Outside of Tropl
cal Countries Has Three, Grandchil
dren at the Age of 30.
A grandmother of two children at the
age of 29 and three at 30 years, is the
record of Mrs. E. W. Bender of Atlanta,
Ga. It is claimed that Mrs. Bender is
the youngest grandmother on record
and her case one of the most remark
able outside of tropical countries.
Mrs. Bender, who is 31 years old, was
born in lrt.HO in South Carolina. She
was married! to E. W. Moore at Colum
bia, S. C, jn 18!)2. She was only 13
years and 3 months old when her first
child was born. This child, a daughter
was married in - 1909 to Edward Sin
clair, and ill January, 1910, gave birth
to twins, the mother being barely 16
and the graiidmother not yet 30.
In January of this .year Mrs. Ben
der's daughter gave birth to another
child, the third of Mrs; Bender's grand
children, j
Mr. Moore died when Mrs. Sinclair
was an infant. Later his widow mar
ried E. W. Bender and their union has
been blessedj by several children. Phy
sicians claim it is rare in this part of
the world that a woman becomes a
grandmother even in the early thirties.

HOW TOJM THEM.
If We Had Money Would We Know
How to Get More Happiness? If
There is Love, That is Sufficient if
Put to It Best Usee. .
Thev seem to be such a happy fam
ily." is an expression which I Often
hear about certain friends of mine,
who, poor in this world's goods, seem
to be rich in love. ,
I have tried to analyze the teason
foT the happiness of this family, aud
I have come to the conclusion that it
is because the misfortunes and griefs
which they have suffered have drawn
them close together instead of separa
ting them. .
"Companions in misery" is an ex
pression often used, and illness, loss
of money, everything but disgrace, nas
been the lot of these dear friends of
mine, who, with their children, Bet an
example for the world to follow.
For, after all, it is unity in ramiiy
relationships which brings joy and
peaee. A" soon as -discord enters, as
soon as the two or , three pull apart
from the rest, the whole structure of
domestic bliss begins to totter.
"My daughter and I" one mother
tells me, " are nearer and dearer to
each other than many daughters and
mothers, because we have suffered to
gether. She was a sjmiled little girl,
and 1 often wondered if she would ever
wake up to a realization of her selfish
ness. Three years before he died, my
husband lost his money and it was then
I began to see the stuff of which my lit
tle girl was made of. She bore pov
erty uncomplainingly. She helped with
the housework went to a business high
school, entered her father's office, and
became a responsible little woman in
every way. Since her father's death,
she has borne the heaviest burden of
care, and we have been drawn together
by the womanhood which is in us both.
"I know that she would never have
Iteen mine, in the sense that she now is,
had we continued in "prosjerity. Site
would have danced through life, forget
ting me, and living only in the pleas
ure ot the riiomeut."
We are apt to count our misfortunes
as terrible things. Wo wail over the
loss of money, as if it were the most
important possession in the world, yet
our greatest grief should be when .we
lose love. It is a precious heritage, aud
beyond compare. '
It is the history of all time that
money does not bring happiness. You
remember Midas, whose touch turned
everything to gold, until at last his own
little daughter was ouly a silent, shin
ing statue. Then the old king cried out
for the love of the little child who was
more than all the wealth of the world
to him.
A man prospering in every way, said
the other day, "I don't believe that my
wife and I get half as much out of life
as we did when, we ' lived on eighteen
hundred a year -instead of eighteen
thousand."
We who are poor are apt to insist
that if we had money we would make
such good use of it that we would make
not only ourselves, but others happy.
Yet I remember a clever story of an old
couple, who, reading of a great fortune
which had been left to certain heirs, be
gan to plan what they would do should
they inherit such a large sum. Their
town, they asserted, should have a fine
library, the poor should live in model
tenements, the church should receive
thousands for missions.
In the midst of their dreams the
news came that a fortune had been left
to the ohi man and his wife. They be
gan to plan at once, and, behold, not
for others, but for themselves.
Automobiles, trips abroad, a bigger
house, these things they must have,
and when they had divided up -their in
come to meet their new wants, they
found that there was nothing left for
charity!
There is a great deal of human na
ture in the storv. Perhaps most of us
are like that. If we had money, we
should not know how to make it bring
us happiness. We have lave, and it is
our privilege to put it to its best uses.
IX)LLY MADISON in Philadelphia
Press.
A Bit of Money and a Motor Car.
Young Beattie, who killed his wife
has given out an interview in which
he says , that the reason he was con
victed was liecause he didn't have
"an up-to-date jury.". "I'll tell you
old loy,"h'e is quoted as saying, "a
fellow's up against it when be is to le
tried by a bunch of countrymen from
the backwoods like those that tried
me. I never had any chance from the
beginning. They get married young,
bring up big families, work around the
farms. What do they know about a
city or a city's life! What de they
know about how easy it is for a young
fellow nowadays to get mixed up with
a girl like-Beulah Binfordf In a city
you newspajcr men from the north all
know this it is almost impossible for
a chap with a little bit of money and
a motor car to avoid getting mixed up
with those women. He can't help it."
Thirteen-year old girls are probably not
so dangerous as Mr. Beattie would
make it appear, and the good men and
true whom he thus criticizes are to be
congratulated that they are the sort of
men Mr. Beattie pictures them to be.
But Mr. Beattie is quite correct when
he suggests that the parent who turns
loose in a city a boy in his teens with
a bit of money in his pocket and a mo
tor car at his disposal, might as well con
sign him to the devil and be done with
it. If he doesn't land there in the end
it will be a miracle. Xews and, Courier
