.- The Coon Town Thirteen Club pre
sented by ,the Baraca Class of Edge
field Baptist 'church at the Court
House at McCormick Tuesday even
nig, was a success in every particu
lar. Full of pep, the whole program
was carried out creditably to those
participating, and this splendid local
talent company made a big hit with
McCormick people. The Greek quar
tet is the best that ever visited our
city. Mr. Takis displayed his usual
good talent when he sang. "My Ideal"
and "When Fm gone you'll soon for
get." "Remember," '"Until When,
Boys," and "He Left,'' w^re render
ed most beautifully by the Greek
quartet. We do not know the profes
sion of Mr. L. H. Prescott, but as a
sermonner he is something great. If
we were to characterize all who took
part in one phrase we would say, "a
r great success." McCormicvk is in
deed proud of her sister, Edgefield,
and extends its thanks to everyone
who assisted in any way in bringing
"The Coon Town Thirteen Club" to
McCormick. The "receipts, $141.60,
show that at least 500 people attend
ed-McCormick Messenger.

confident that no rea.der of the paper
will object to this consideration
show? those who labor in season and
out of season to publish the paper 51
times each year. The next issue of
