Ten days ago the little giri got her thumb mashed in a clothes wringer, and the injury has not been doing as well at it should. Examination Friday revealed *’..e fact that the end of the bone had been split, and one piece of it was forced out over the nail, thus keeping the fracture from knitting properly. The removal of the ' nail, it is thought, will bring rapid relief. Nixola Greeley-Smith, in the New York World, says: “The other day when Mrs. L. O. McDaniel, wife of a millionaire manufacturer of Syracuse, pledged herself to march with the Woman’s Political Union in the suffrage parade in May, she wrote after her name these words- •Occupation—Parasite.' Later she said: I call myself a parasite. Any woman who lives off the wealth of her husband and does nothing for society is a parasite. The country has thousands of them. The most regrettable part of such an existence is that she does nothing to improve herself. Women of this parasite class are not confined to the rich. Such a class includes all idle, useless woi men.’ ” WILL GIVE PLAY. At the meeting of V.e Presbytedfan Guild at the home of Mrs. W. A. Lower, the girls decided to give a play, : This will be given at the Yeomen hall, i next Thursday, February Bth, and will i he the play entitled, “Aunt Jerusha’s I Photograph Album."

VETERAN RETIRES J. D. Hale Sells Long-Estab- j lished Coal, Feed and Seed Business. 1 I TO E. L. CARROLL ’ t Will Retire from Active Bus- t iness Life—Will Begin J Invoice at Once. ( J. D. Hale, one of the oldest active business men in the city, has sold his i teal, feed and seed business, corner ( of Jefferson and Second streets, to E. L. Carroll, tne well known former', grain dealer, and will retire for a j much deserved rest from active busi- ( ness life. The invoice of the store , : will begin next Vonday and Mr. Car- , i roll will take possession at once. Mr. j , Hale has been a resident of this city since 1882, when he was elected coun--Ity clerk, coming here from Geneva. | He later entered the grain business and had several elevators in the county—in this city, Monroe, Peterson and . Craigville. In 1892, in addition to the ( grain elevators, he opened the coal, ; feed and seed store at his present location, continuing this since at that i place, the building being the old I school house, which was moved from i the lot occupied by the present cen- | tral building, and therefore one of I local historical interest. In 1901 he j sold his elevator interests to E. L. I Carroll, who engaged in the business , until 1908, when he disposed of it, ' entering the Ward Fence company. | Mr. Carroll continued to be identified I with that company until two months ago, when he sold his interest and has i now re-entered a business similar in a | way, to the one he engaged in prior , to entering his last, business, and in • which he will be eminently successful. | Mr. Hale, during long engagement ■ in this business, has built up a large I and profitable trade, ana retires with , the goou will of all. Mr. Hale, together with Jacob Martin, the rest,taurant man-—and by the way both are councilmen —are said to be the twe oldest active business men in the city. Mr. Hale will retire now from active business life, for the rest which he deserves. IN THE CHURCHES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE tune of “Old Black Joe”—J. Q. Neptune, with guitar accompaniment.
