Mr. William Gibbs, having been
to Columbus Saturday, returned
and spent the night with D. J.
Hal ford and family.
v Messrs. C. Bv Greene and C. L.
Halford were out at Church Sun
day with smiles upon their faces,
watch out, Mill Spring girls!
Mr. W. W. Burgesi, who has
been out West for the past two
ytars, nas enterea nom once
more to spends the winter with
his parents.
Miss Delia Greene has entered
Columbus High School for a seven
weeks tay, after which she will
return home and prepare, for
teaching this winter- .
The freshet has been ofji-
vantage to many while it has not
been so for others. It is estima
ted that the farm known as the
"Hamilton Farm" is one hundred
dollars better than before. -I
There was preaching at Mtj

sides. After the Sunday preach
ing services a 'matrimonial serv
ice was performed. The bride,
Miss Hattie Burgess, is the pretty
daughter of Mr. N, C. Burgess
of Mill Spring, one of North Car
olina's most progressive farmers.
The groom, Mr. John Martiiuof
Inman, S. C is the son of Mr.
Isaac Martin, noted for his cour
tesy, hospitality and benevolence.
We wish them much joy and all
success in life. r

THINK IT 013&.
WERE A FRIEND TO TELL YQU:
"I have had my own carriage and ridden
my fill, I hare gone 'to three balls in -a
night; I hav lighted my cigar with a io
bill, and all when money was tight," "you
would think he was boasting, possibly pre
varicating. But "if he should explain thai
the carriage wag a baby carriage, the three
balls a pawn shop and the f 10 bill aboard
bill, you would see the joker. i
When a farm paper advertises three full
years for 35 cents, and it ia a monthly pub
lication, they gire you just 36 numbers in
thd whole three years' time. Again, when
they advertise three full years for f I, sad -it
is a semi-monthly publication, you get just
72 issues in the whole three years. In the
first case 16 issues less than the Progressive
Farmer and Gazette give its readers every
year; and in the latter Case they give only
20 issues more in the three yenrs than we
do in one year. And you know that a pa
per coming once a month, or even twice a
month, cannot be as interesting, or as time
ly, or as helpful as a paper coming every
week. . Don't forget that The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette is made in the South
by Southern men, Ior Southern num. and
dealing with Southern conditions only. It
is made for you. r i' -
