REV. r. K. StephensOn's all-day' |
meeting was "red letter" day for the |
Clayton M. E. Church. Large prepa-
rations were made for the acoommoda-
ton of the people who were out in
large numbers. Love Feast and preach
ing occupied the morning, and the
School and reception of PrOba-
TONERS the afternoon. Fifty nine out
of seventy six called, responded, with
seven others from Bethel and
charges. Not one name of
the listbwas dropped, those not present
being mostly out of town or sick. This
makes 152 on the circuit received in
full connection this year. The cOllec-
ton taken was $500. The night SER
vice was equally spirited.
Mr.. G. SPEAKMAN, has seeded from
one to two acres in the new variety
known as scarlet clover, that was so
popular with the progressive down

SONS and can be cut for feed the first
of May. He is showing the proper en-
terprise in finding substitutes for the
profits of the peach, and besides the
strawberries, raspberries and grapes,
he has some six acres of very thrifty
tomatoes, and large bed of onion sets
for next springs sales. But, perhaps
more profitable than any one of these
will be his pea of over twenty young
hogs. They are enjoying a good lOt
of clover in which they are running
besides the feed they get from the
creamery and refuse of the cannery
dressed off with ship stuff as a dessert
He expects TO have them ready for tn,
early October market.
