It's great to be young in
America. Then the world is one
big dream—an oyster to be open¬
ed by the gentlest of taps on its
shell. The high school grad¬
uate will find that when he has
tapped, the oyster will reveal a
maze of passageways, each one
leading to different achieve¬
ments.
In the human realm of know¬
ledge, there exists many ways to
acquire the necessary beginings
to adult life, but it is difficult
to choose the right way. Some¬
times even the right road seems
wrong, but who CAN be sure of
the right way?
"Know thyself" was the phil¬
osophy of Socrates which might
well be ours, for peace of mind

MAKE FIRST SOLO FLIGHT
Last Sunday John M. Case,
Milton Case and John Tatum
made their first solo flights from
the Trion Lafayette School of
flying where they are studying.
After so many hours of flying
and satisfactory learning there
comes the big moment when you
take a plane up by yourself. If
you successfully pass this test
you become a student pilot.
After 30 morj hours of satis¬
factory solo flying you receive
your pilots license.
Tommy Sims and Roy Mc-
Bryar still have a few more
hours to go before they will bi
ready for the thrill of their first
solo flight.
In spite of not having located
suitable land for a flying field
in Dade County, these prospec¬
tive aviators remain enthusi¬
astic and hopeful.
There is an eloquent silence;
It serves sometimes to approve,
sometimes to condem; there is
a mocking silence; there is a
respectful silence.

No reproof is so potent as the
silent lesson of a good example.

Rising Fawn, Ga., October 30, 1879
A Young Gent in Trouble !
A young lady gave "her young
man," a beautifully worked pair
of slippers, and he acknowledged
the present by sending her his
picture encased in a handsome
Frame.
He wrote a note to send with
it, and at the same time replied
angerily to an oft-repeated dun
for an unpaid for suit of clothes.
He gave a boy ten cents to de¬
liver the package and notes,
giving explicit directions as to
the destination of each. It was
a boy with freckled face and he
discharged his errand in a man¬
ner that should give him a niche
in the temple of fame.
The young lady received a note
in her adored one's handwriting,
and flew to her room to devour
its contents. She opened the
missive with eager fingers and
read—
“I'm getting tired of your
everlasting attentions. The suit
is about worn out already.
Please go to thunder."
And the tailor was struck ut¬
terly dumb when he opened a
parcel and discovered the pic¬
ture of ftis delinquent customer,
with a note that said—
"When you gaze upon these
features think how much I owe
you."
When the unfortunate man
called around that evening to re¬
ceive the happy acknowledge¬
ment of his sweetheart, he was
very ostentatiously shoved off
the steps and over the fence by
the young lady's father, and in
the morning he was waited upon
by his tailor's attorney, and im¬
peratively ordered to settle or
suffer.
The Hair We Wear
The South of France and Britt¬
any contribute to the human
hair market the largest amount
the black hair. Thither each
year agents of the Parisian
wholesale houses go to gather an
average crop of more than two
hundred thousand pounds of
weight. From one to five francs
is about the usual price of a
head of hair. The dealers are
provided with ribbons, silks, laces
and jewelery, which they often
succeed in exchanging in black or
golden treeses. They attend all
the fairs and merry-makings,
and at a Breton fair may be seen

The time to kill weeds in your garden is before they begin to

the seedlings break through in the garden rows so that they can
”'Ee seen, it is time to begin stirring the soil between rows and as close
the plants as possible without dis- <
turbing them. Either a hand hoe
or a wheel hoe is an excellent tool.
If it rains a few days after the
first cultivation, stir the surface soil
again as soon as it is dry enough,
but do not wait longer than a week
before cultivating a second time,—
rain or no rain,—unless tire ground
is too wet to work.
Weeds within the row will prob¬
ably have to be removed by hand
while the plants are small. Some
gardeners find an old kitchen knife
a handy helper. Or, a hand weedei
is a convenient tool. As plants grow
larger, they usually dominate so that
weeds in the row do not prove
troublesome. Onions are one ex¬
ception: the spear-like leaves do not
shade the ground enough to keep
down the husky weeds.

number of them surrounded by
girls ready to be sheared
sheep as they stand in a row
after another with their caps
in their hands, ready for the
and their long hair
out and falling like a
about them. Sometimes it
is a man and sometimes a wo¬
man who cuts off the hair,
placing it in a large basket, pro¬
vided for the occasion and into
which every successive crop of
hair, tied up in a wisp, is thrown
by itself. As it is tjie fashion in
those parts to wear a close cap
which throughly obstructs the
view of coils or braids of hair,
it can make no difference
whether they have them or not.
Hence, it is said the girls seem
to bring their hair to market
as regularly as they do peas and
cabbage and eggs, and that a
peasant girl parts with her hair
as readily as the stern uncle in
old-fasioned plays parts with
guineas in the last act. For
choice heads of hair, like choice
old pictures or choice old china,
there is no limit in the price they
may command.

For the good of the vegetables

cultivate all through the
season. Besides keeping ahead
