Nov. 2G.-Yesterday ond night before
last we spent in tho town of Hickory Grove
among our York county friends. That mod
est little towr is one OF tho quietest We have
been in for long time. Its business men
are fully up with the times ami everything
goes on smoothly.
Its most commeniab feature is the man.
ner in which it's people observe The Sabbath.
They ore a church going people and turned
out en- mdsse to the A. X. =. Church TO hear
Rev. J. T.. Knox preach powerful sermon
on the observance Of the law. His text was
Rome 7th chapter 9th verse.
In these times of mud singing and vitu-
peration, not on y&sSr political but private
asked in the Westminster Confession of
Faith, with is answer. might be studied
With proht to ourselves 1t is this: Oues.
"Whdt are the duties required IN tie ninth
commandment Ans. "The duties required
In the ninth commandment are, the preserv-
ing and promoting of truth between man and
man, aud tho good of our neighbor, az we'll rs
our own; appearing and standing for the
truth; and f. ON the heart, sincerely, freely,
clearly, and fully, speaking the truth and
only the truth, in matters Of Judgment and
Justice, and in all other things whatsoever,
charitable esteem Of our neighbors living,
desiring nd rejoicing in their good name
sorrowng for, and covering of their nfrmi-
ties; freely acknowledging of their gifts and
graces, defending their innocenoy; n ready
receiving ofa good report, and unwilling
ness to admit Of an evil report concerning
them; discouraging tale-bearers, fla terers,
slanderers, love aud care Of our own good
name, and defending it when need requir-
eth keeping Of lawful promises; studying
and pracliclng cf whatsoever things are
true, honest, lovely, and of good report"
This doesn't have much standing ground
for some of Us.
Rev. G. E. Robertson will preach at Salem
next Sabbath, End December.
A great many persons say that yellow
corn won't make good bread-that it always
seems TO be raw. That's the fault Of the
cook. Give it Is or 20 minutes longer to
bake, or cook it over slow fire and il will
be all right. This is Mrs. Vox's suggestion
so Mrs, i. Horn, Of Paoo,et has been Wis.
lrng frfenus Sud reIatives IN tbfs- sectyon
for a week.
Printers ink (outside of good advice) is
worth more and costs less than anything in
the land. Advertisements in The TIMES,
Weekly Ledger, YorkUH!e Enquirer and Spar
tanburg papers have drawn hundreds of
dollars to their patrons who, without the
aid Of the press would never have seen q
cent. And the pretty part of it is, we have
as yet failed to find q single person discon-
tented who has been drawn to the centres
by this means. We suppose that if nobody
would advertise all the mercantile affairs
would be on an equality except when the
personal popularity of the merchant drew
him good trade. But personal popularity
can't prevail against printers ;nk that puts
goods down cheap. 1t is price not men
these days.
Hog killing season has como and we will
look for report Of the best hogs from G ,ch
nsighborhood. Let our farmers and their
good wives see that this rar, Of the farm
work is properly encouraged. 1t will stop
the cry of hard times sooner than anythir z
else. Tox.
