The Test of a Good Shoe
It takes a shoe that’s made of
all genuinp leather to stand water.
A shoe that has paper and other substi
tutes for leather hidden in its makeup,
quickly breaks down under dampness. No
matter whether it is in the heels, soles, insoles
or chunters—paper and substitutes cannot
give satisfaction and wear like leather.
Let us fit you to a pair of
WEYENBERG

—built for service, comfort and long wear.
They are the best shoes you can get for your
money—shoes made of real leather inside and
out, shoes that will wear in all kinds of weather
and that cost you less in the long run.

play to be presented at the school au

Judgment Not Always Wise.

NEWSPAPER CORRESPOND
ENCE.
When a uewspaper has correspon-
ents from every section of the field,
it is supposed to cover,* it is very
good proof that the paper is fulfilling
its mission. It enables it to carry
the news from every community tj
every other community in the field,
and it is news that the people want—
the newer the better. The best news
is that which interests the largest
number of people. An item that is
of interest to but one or two people
is of small consequence, however,
the kindly mention of a name may
give pleasure to many.
It is the things taking place that
help towards building up community
lifb socially, educationally, industrial
ly or spiritually that are regarded
as valuable news items.
Fortunate indeed is the newspaper
that has a staff of regular corres
pondents who possess a keen inter
est in community life, who can find
in daily events something that oth
ers would love to know and some
thing the community would be proud
to have them know.
The dignity of social life Is largely
at the mercy of the reporter and un
less carefully guarded the publicity
may do more harm to the communi
ty than good.
Writing for papers appeals to
young people and their efforts should
be encouraged. It is a field with
great possibilities, but like every
thing else worth while, requires time,
thought and study, and the more of
each of these given the greater the
reward will be.

the home club.
While in Rome Mrs. Hunt visit

is at Shorter College.
ATTEND FUNERAL OF MRS.
PUGH.
Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Robins left
Tuesday morning for Sparta, where
Mr. Robins was called to conduct the
funeral of Mrs. Dr. Pugh, who died
suddenly Sunday night. Mr. Robins
officiated at the marriage of Dr. and
Mrs. Pugh in August, and it was a
sad mission thus to be called to con
duct her funeral after so short a
period of married life.
Mrs. Pugh was of a very promin
ent family, being the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Walker, of SpaYta.
A DELICIOUS NEW DRINK.
A delicious new drink put on th-;
market by the Chero-Cola Bottling
Co. is Grapemelo. It is made prin
cipally of fruit juice, as its name
implies, and lends itself admirably
to the use of fruit punch. The com
pany has been most generous in the
distribution of samples that it may
be listed at once among the popular
refreshing drinks.
AT JOHNS HOPKINS.
Dr. Porter Reville was carried

gusta to Johns Hopkins last week.
