value.
Exchange markets took on a more
variable tone, sterling oil London

was shown in remittances to the con

to sales of the new Swiss govern

Sunday i.chool. Miss Teague is tho

organist for-several years.
Mr. Alonzo Jolly of Andorson was
with us Sunday, our old organist.
We wore glad to hear him play and
lead for us. Ho certainly, mado fine
music. Wo are certainly *proud of
our now organ. That make of Or
gana makes tho finest music of any
organ we evor heard. _ All churches
that contemplate buying a new or
gan should bear ours, it's grand.
There has been so much sickness
and bad weather this winter, our
Sunday school has been-the smallest
It has been In years, reports ranging
from forty to sixty, but spring Is
near. Wfl want to put on new spirit
ual "life as tbe mother earth puts oh

there Is anything that would rouse
a sleeping Chriutian. it, would be
spring with all of Us new beauties,
merry birds, and bright sunshine.
Everything seems to be cal I ink us to
roiolce and praise God.
Messrs. Charles Pruitt and Eulys

family.
Mr. and Mrs. Barle Watson are
all smiles. Thoy ha'fe a tiny rose
bud put into tholr care and keeping,
so great responsibility that fond
parents hardly realise with the first
born, but we hope thoy realize they
have little feet to guide, . as all
parents ought'to. Mrs. Watson is at
the Anderson hospital.
Friday was such a bud day the
school postponed the debate, and had !

tive and affirmative almost tic-' in
their arguments, but the Judges de- ?

with a fine play at the school in the

Several of the farmers have gone
Into tho crennn y business. They

iate neighborhood are, Messrs. Jno.
Duckworth, Will Martin, James
Mosley, E. M. Ducworth, Lee Wel
borne. Enoch Wilson. Several oth
ers will Join in as soon as their cows
arp fresh in.
Some of the farmers hath already
applied the aoda to their grain. They
believe they ure right applying It
early, for we read a bulletin from
Cleroson, on the experiments and re
sults of fertilizing grain. It said,
putting it on early caused more
stalks to grow and that made more
grain, late applications only made' a
larger stalk, so ir it makes more
grain everyone ought to apply early.
The high price of flour won't alarm
the farmers in ibis section much
longer, if we are permitted to make
wheat, for almost every framer has
some sowed.
Good roads seems to be the most
important subject to be discussed
now. Wc ur(> glad to hear it dls
cusse.d. for discussions always do
someone good. They will investigate
to bo able to discuss.
Where Supervisor King worked
roads last year, or built and gradejl
them rather, has been almost impas
sable this winter, but if every farm
er will use a drag after each rain
this spring and summer, will have
the best roads tiiis section of the
county has ever enjoyed, for it is an
enjoyment to ride over good roads.

If evcryotto would be public spirit

nothing, not be afraid of helping the
other fellow because you help your
self, one scrape one time, another
;!;,. next, one haul a few loads of
sand where needed, or gravel, clean
out a ditch that causes a wush, we
would soon ha\fj> fine roads in sum
mer. Of course, they all get bad in
long wet spells, but we .are on the
upward road to better roads.
The friends of Mr. J. W. White
will be glad to learn he is able to go
to ride. We all rejoice with him, for
bo has been in many weeks. His
daughter, Mrs. Julia Webb and child
ren visited him Saturday and Sun
day.

a pleasant ltme. We nre all too ready
to say father or mother wouldn't
care for such a thing. We don't

There's nothing that pleases grand
parents more, than for someone to
go to troublo for them and show
tholr appreciation of them, If thoy
don't do too much. So let un all try
