Cotton continues on the rise in price. Let her go. The Chero Cola Cos. has opened up a large bottling plant at Canton.

A vigorous old lady when asked the secret of her eighty-three years ot health replied: "I never allow myself to fret over things I cannot help. I take a nap, and sometimes two of them, every day. I do not carry my washing, ironing, dressmaking, or bak ing to bed with me; and I try to oil 1 all the friction out of my busy life by an implicit belief that there is a brain and a heart to this great universe, and that I can trust them both.” Small Successes Count.
