In the August 15th number of Town and Country there is a spel dld picture of Mrs. Julia Peterkin Of South Carolina, whose book “Scarlet Sister Mary'* took th» Pulitzer prize, and is an outstand ing atudy of Southern negro life. The book has been much discussed A copy is. now in the Shelby Pub lic libary and the "looker on" sit ting in the library three times a week enjoys the comments made by persons as they bring the book in and take it out. Of all the criti cisms, the “looker on'* thinks Mr William Curtis has summed th* hook up most splendidly and most true. He says “'Scarlet Sister #ary b probably the most genuine and of negro tile and psychology that has been writ ten. Best in that it is the most unrestrained, non melodramatic of the long liAe of negro books. Mrs. Peterkin's negroes are, I am con vinced the first real negroes in American fiction. On that count it is my considered belief that Scarlet Bister Mary is as definite a con tribution to American literature in Its presentation of one special fact sf the thousand odd facets of American life, as Mark Twain’s 'Huckleberry Finn’’ which is the highest praise any one can give a novel." And by the way very few people in Shelby know that Mrs. Paul Webb was a schoolmate of Mrs. Peterkin at Converse college some years ago. Mrs. Peterkin was then a dignified red headed senior snd Mrs. Webb was then a fresh man known as Miss Alma McBraycr a beautiful young girl and she had In those days in slang language a "crush” on Mrs. Peterkin. Mrs. Webb tells most interestingly and enter taingly about that first year ana her "crush" on Mrs. Peteikin.

WATER DRAINED FROM HIGH GROUND BY HOLES IN GROUND Shoshone, Idaho.—When the roll ing terrain pours too much flood water upon them, farmers in this region bore holes in the ground and pour it back. The country is underlaid with lava formations containing huge crevices which carry full streams from the highlands down to the Snake river. Holes of from 30 to 60 feet deep have penetrated these crevices in a number of places with the result that much of the flood water is swallowed before it does damage. September Reunion.
