COOPER'S PLACE NEAR RUPERT IS BURNED FRIDAY Faulty Electric Wiring Is Cause of Fire; Will Be Rebuilt Immediately Rand Cooper, proprietor of Cooper's Place a combination store and eating establishment on the Ellaville Butler highway near Rupert, which was burned last Friday afternoon, this week made plans for rebuilding immediately. Fire believed to have been caused by defective wiring destroyed the establishment shortly after 5 o'clock. A number of persons were in the building when the fire was discovered but were unable to bring the flames under control. The Butler fire department answered the alarm but arrived too late to curb the blaze. Entire stock and virtually all furnishings were lost, Mr. Cooper declared. He said insurance covered a portion of the loss and that he was unable to estimate the probable total loss. SARAH E. HORNADY CHAPTER HOLDS REGULAR MEETING The Sarah E.

THE HAND THAT WILL SOMEDAY ROCK THE CRADLE by Charles Wall, Jr. Your correspondent heard a most interesting conversation a few days ago, between a young member of the fair sex and an old gentleman that has lived a fuller and completer life than any of us can ever hope to live. It put this old boy to thinking. I have been delving into the feminine thoughts and compulsions; even in its mind. It exists, it has fears and phobias, starry depths lurk many disturbing thoughts. And it is something you can't write about any too elaborate. For reasons that the feminine mind can figure out, or anybody that would like to try their hand at it. If you are still in the dark stop me in an alley and we will go into the subject deeper. The mind that you and I are going to explore is the young flapper's (now why did I say that, because we men resent being called squirts). Let's change that to young maidens. Seventy-five per cent of their thoughts are taken up with getting a man. The other twenty-five per cent are taken up with holding the man they already caught. All have marriage in mind. Some as soon as they can find a tall, dark, handsome brute. Others, at a later date. Every one of them are thinking along the same line. Most of these young maidens, that are never supposed to have a though(t), win out, only a few end up in the old maid's home. A man is usually the cause of this in some indirect way. There you have most young ladies' daily thoughts in a nut-shell. Marriage stays on their mind and, if it doesn't, it should. Experts say it is the best career that a woman can find. It may be, I'm not a woman and I have never tried marriage. But all I know is what others say. 25 YEARS AGO--1913 N.B. Stewart, native of Taylor county and relative of many Schley countians, consul at Durban, India, has been appointed consul at Milan, the most important city in Italy.
