I&l Organ Franklin County. You Tickle Me And I'll Tickle You. When you accept a lot of favors ycu must expect that the time will come when you will be called upon to return them. Unless you are willing to do so, ycu should net become indebted. There are some peo¬ ple, however, who d.j not figure this way. They seem to think that every time they are favored in any way that they are just that much a.head. Such people scon find they are left out of many good times that ther might otherwise enjoy, but do... ’f understand the reason for their declining popularity. They be come what is known as the “hu man sponge.” Yet they would be insulted if vou told them that they are dishonest. But they are “cheats;” unwilling to dc their share of the werk; unwill¬ ing to provide them share of the expense account. They are drawbacks in the community. They wonder why they constant ly encounter antagonism Is if a warder that they are a source of irritation to their friends? Remembor this when v cu accept favors with out thnm h t of re¬ turning thij pi urprise Birthday Dinner The children of Mrs Ehz beth Hall surprised her on last Men day by preparing, unknown, to her, a sumptuous birthday din- ner and inviting seme of her loyal friends to help enjoy her sixtieth birthday.

QABJSJ^SYJ i J - K oa. K,Kn >Av JANUARY 21 I OIO From Various Papers* The Hearld is the name of a new paper at Carnesville. We know nothing of a demand for a now paper there, but it is our prediction that Miss Rgtha Pur¬ cell, who owns and operates the Advance, ana has labored hard and faithfully for Carnesville and Franklin County, will be hard to supplant.- Gai tesville News. We could hardly believe our own eyes, when we saw the Carnesville Advance of last week. Tak about evolution, well the eight pages we e all home p int, and such fine ad ver tisement we never saw in a Car nesville paper. With this im¬ provement we trust the editress will make the best of leap year and force a deal with some old bachelor. Commerce News- The Carnesville Advance greeted the new year with a creditable 3 : ght page all home: print paper. Aside from the general news and editorai value the paper carried a special write up of all the county officers to- gether with articles about the principal of the Carnesville School and the paster of the Methodist Church of the ville Circuit. The "oaper one of the best that has ever been issued under the present administration. Lavooia Times Lists weeks Camomile Ad¬ vance came to us neatly printed carrying eight pages of interest ling news and splendid ads. The new paper there also being one of very neat and interesting ap¬ pearances, gives Carnesville the odds on the newspaper work of Franklin—Royston Record.

The boy’s basket ball team of Carnesville High school de¬ feated the boy’s basket ball of GarJandvilJe High school Friday afternoon by score of 14 to 13. The game was hotly contested from the start. At the er.d of the first half Fairview had sue ceeded in gaining a slight m gin over the Carnesville boys, Both teams came back strong in the second half but the Carnes viile hoys kept up such a fast pace that they succeeded in running up points enough to vio by a close margin. A good many fouls vere made but as a whole the game war fast and exciting.
