BACHMAN CHAPEL AND CANNON'S
CREEK.

Mr.. and Mrs. f. Y. Morris, Of New
berry, were visiting relatives in the
Pomaria section on Sabbath last.
Mr.. Henry Kinard, of Mississippi,
who has been visiting relatives
throughout this section for the past
week, will return home this week.
We regret to learn that Old Aunt
Rachael Griffith, of Excelsior commu-
nifty, who has been extremely i'll for
the past three weeks, still remains
quite sick.
Miss Mary Sligh, Of Mt. Tabor sec
ton, who has been spending a few
weeks in visiting relatives and trlends
in our community, is now the guest OF
J. x. Epps and family.
Mr.. w. NJ. Bobb, while unloading
some oats from his wagon on Friday
morning last, lost his balance and fell
from the wagon backwards across the
hind wheel, his head and back both
striking the wheel; he was very pain
fully but not seriously hurt.
The patrons of Ridge Road School
met on Wednesday, the 9Th, at 6 p. m.
for the purpose Of electing teacher for
said school. There were only three ap-
plieauts handed in for consideration.
After vote was taken it was found
that Mr.. w. B. Boinest was duly
elected. The school will open on the
25th inst.
Nathan, little son of Mr.. Rance
Vaughn, is seriously i'll.
A matrimonial racket will take
place in our community this week. We
will give full particulars in next issue.
We are looking for several such rack
cts 2s this to come off in our section be-
fore Santa Claus comes.
This has been a most favorable fall
for the farmers in gathering their crops
and sowing grain. The principal part
of the fall crop of oatsis up and looking
fine. Some few farmers have begun
sowing wheat. 1t has been a question
among us for considerable while to
know whether the late crop of cotton
| would open or not. This question is
now almost decided. The late cotton
that was killed by the frost about six
| weeks ago, not more than two-thirds OF
it will open. I think where the plant
has not been injured by the frost up to
the present, very near all will open.
| So taking the cotton crop upon an
average throughout this lower part Of
the county, I don't think it will hardly
reach two-third crop. So here we
poor farmers come with long faces and
a short cotton crop, again saying we
have done the very best We could, and
are always willing to try and try
| again. But we have one consolation,
| that is, we can say our corn cribs Will
not be in the West another year.
We are glad to notice that the rail-
road authorities have drawn the color
line, during this week Of the State Fair
| in Columbia. We hope al concerned
will approve the arrangement and go
on their way rejoicing and return hap
py and serene.
The council Of Bachman chapel met
last Sunday at the close Of divinsssr-
vice to arrange for preaching another
year. A >aau WAS extended Rev. J. A.
go serve again as a supply. He will
SIGNIFY his acceptance or not on the 4th
Sabbath Of this month. Rev. NJ. Sigh
IS a pillar of strength in this church.
and if we have to give him up it will
be with much reluctance.
Owing to the Sunday-school hours
conflicting somewhat with the hours Of
preaching, as the days are getting
shorter, the stated services have been
changed from the second and fourth
Sunday at 2.30 p. m., to the first and
third. There will be Sunday-school
next Sabbath afternoon. We hope this
change will prove satisfactory.
The congregation will bear in mind
that on the next regular preaching day
there will be an election of officers for |
the church. Now each and every mem
Der of the congregation has the right |
to vote, and I hope it will be done in |
the true spirit. l would therefore re-
Spectfu!ly commend to the conerega-
ton, as guide and help, before Voting
for man to fill the office of a deacon
or elder, to take the sixth chapter of
he Acts of the Apostles and the third
chapter Of Paul's First Epistle to Tim
'thy, and read carefully. These will |
now you what qualifications a man
mould possess to he all officer in the
hurch. ~ w
