Hickory see-sawed. Hickory was
handicapped by having two can

vote for Hickory if she would
consolidate upon one man. Kil

Miss Pearl Miller Entertains.
At the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. F Miller, on Bth !
Avenue, Miss Elizabeth Pearl
Miller has had, as her guests at
a house party, the following
young ladies: Misses Chloe and
Katherine Adderholdt, Eugenia
Rudisill, Nanette Rudisill and
Matel Link. On Friday night, j
Mrs. Miller and daughter re-!
ceived a number of the latter's j
young friends, in honor of her I
house guests and her fifteenth
birthday. The handsome resi-!
dence was prettily decorated with
the roses that are now in their j
glorious prime. In the dinning j
room, the color scheme was old !
golJ, the decorations, the candles
in the elegant candelabra, the
exquisitely embroidered center
pieces, etc., carried out the rich
hues.
To amuse the guests, a flower
conte t was held, in which Miss
Emma Bonner won the prize, a
box of stationery. A salad
course was then served, followed
by cream and cake. . About
seventy guests enjoyed the hospi
tality of the Miller home, and
departed at a late hour, wishing
their young hostess "Many happy
returns of the day," and that
they might be there to help keep
them. Mrs. Miller was assisted
in receiving by Mrs. B. F. Camp

Fraud Paint
The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make this year when paint is so
high. We all say "Ours is the best;''
and there are 1000 of us. One is
best; but a dozen are so near on the
level that no one knows.
The worst paints are the worst liars;
they know what they are, put-on a
bold face, and brazen it out.
Their pwn true argument is low
price; but low price paint is always,
must be, a fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people. DEVOE
F. B. Ingold sells it.

that, and when a friend of my husband
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

for his wife, I was willing to take it.
Now I look the picture of health and fee!

hoe my garden, and milk a cow. I can
entertain company and enjoy them. I
