Bringing Home
the Bacon
is a good thing if you don't
bring home the wrong bacon.
A young lady stenographer,
who had written a letter to her j
young man during business!
hours sent the wrong letter to j
a business firm which stated j
they were shipping them a car j
load of love and kisses instead |
i
of axle grease that they order
ed. It's a case of bringing home '
'
the bacon every time you let usj
stock your pantry with choice j
groceries and quality food
stuffs. Our line of table delica-'
cies will appeal to every crit-j
ical housewife. !

UNION MILLS NEWS
Union Mills, Feb. 7.—''Beads on
j a String," the three act comedy
which was presented in the auditor
ium of Alexander Schools, Inc., was
a great success. Many pronounced it
the best play ever given here. Each
actor and actress- acted his or her
part, as if they had lived it all of
their life. Prof. Sweatt, has been
asked to present the play a second
time here, but the plans now are to
take it elsewhere. Watch for the
place and time and see this splendid
play which has gained so much popu
larity wherever it has been seen.
One of the largest socials ever
given here was that at the Alexander
Schools, Inc., on last Saturday night
week at 7:30. Many were the games
played and contests held. Music was
also a feature of amusement for the
evening by the joy makers.
Misses Winnie Stroup ana Irene
Harkins had charge of the entertain
ing. So swiftly did the time fly that
many were surprised when refresh
ments were served and many faces
turned from smiles when the hour of
departure was announced. All de
parted for their homes declaring the
evening had been very enjoyably
spent.
A pound party that was enjoyed by
| those present was that given by Miss
; Ruth Smart at her home on last
Saturday evening- at 7 o'clock. There
i were various kinds of amusements
during the evening. A number of priz
es were awarded to winners of the
games, contests, etc. The music for
the evening was given by Miss Min
nie Sue Nanney. Those enjoying the
party were: Misses Ruth Pyatt, Min
nie Sue Nanney, Euza Smart, and
Ruth Smart, and Messrs. Robert
Hughes, Worth Guffey, George Wat
son and Gilmer Edney.
Ground hog day created much in
terest here and the surrounding com
munity on last Thursday. Many spent
their opinion as to whether there
was truth or not in the saying that
the ground hog can determine the
weather in the future. It is report
ed, however, that Mr. Pete Weaver,
of Thermal City has captured the
ground hog and that it will not be
out again except on a bad day and
hence good weather is assured us. It
weighs about fifteen pounds, Mr.
Weaver says. A fine one.

Seeking New Business on Our Record
A FRIEND
God has. given to this oid world
A friend I shall never forget,
Although she has gone away,
I still cherish her memory yet.
In'the summertime when the grapes
were ripe,
We romped thru' the fields together.
We picked buttercups in the meadow
so gay,
And played on the dark grey heather.
Her hair was golden,
Her cheeks rosy red,
Her eyes like the sky so blue,
She was not the flirty, frivolous
kind,
But a kind friend real, and true.
Her face now I can see shining
Thru' a cloudy but silver lining,
A friend to me, she will always be,
And maybe someday her face I'll see,
Away up there in the sky,
Where joys eternal lie.
—By MARY MiOSS, Aged 14.
mother in Spindale for the present.
