WOman's Missionary Society.

The sixteenth annual session of The
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
of the South Carolina Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
which convened at ST. Paul's Metho-
dist Church, in Orangeburg, on the
third of July, was both profitable and
enjoyable.
The work of the Society is progressing
nicely; but not as much is being done
as could or should be done for our per-
ishing brothers and sisters in the be-
nighted heather lands.
All of the chief officers were present,
and were reelected for the ensuing
year.
1t was O great pleasure for us to have
Miss Laura A. Haygood, one of our
Missionaries, of Shanghai, China, with
us. She gave us some intererestinp
and impressive talk.
Miss Annie M. Barnes, of Georgia,
editor OF the Juvenile paper, The Lit
tie Worker, vas also present, and gave
some talks which were greatly enjoyed
by all.
1t is needless to say that the officers
did their work we'll in every sense of
the word. How could 1t be otherwise
with such q president as Mrs. Wight
man.
The people of Orangeburg gave us
a most cordial welcome; and the dele
gates were certainly entertained roy
ally.
The next session will be held at Alb
beville in 1896.

LANFORD LOCALS.

How aeeting is time! 1t seems but
q short while since last Christmas, and
yet it Els now the 9th of July. The
year is half gone, and the farmers will
o on have laid by their work for an
other season, and we suppose they will
all unite in one common chorus that
they + quite anxious for the time to
come when they can brush off the dust
and CRIME of hard work and sit down
with u contented mind and o happy
smile to enjoy n few weeks of rest and
holiday, with IN occasional picnic to
help them along, and in the fall, if
their crops are not quite SO good as
they would like, if they have worked
hard, they will remember that they
did their best, and all will be we'll.

Mr.. w. III. Drummond has been some
what under the weather for O few days,
but was better at last account. He has
a very sick child at this writing, but
hope he will soon be we'll again.
Mrs. Thomas DeShields has also been
quite sick, but she too is better. With
this exception, we know of no other
illness in the community.
Mr.. John w. Lanford had the mis-
fortune to lose q fine mule one day this
week.
Your correspondent had the pleas
ure last Saturday and Sunday Of at
tending the Union Meeting at Friend
ship. Services were largely attended
both days. which goes to prove that
the Union is growing both in numbers
and in interest, and just here L may
add. that the people around Friendship
fully understand entertaining the
Union in more than mt way, and we
think the visitors enjoyed the noon
service as much or more than anything
else. We are almost tempted to give
some names, at least two, along this
line, but will leave that as q conun-
drum and think it can be easily solved
by those present.
There was q masonic picnic at Emo
rec on last Thursday, and several at
tended from Lanford. The Eastern
Star was conferred in the afternoon.
Mrs. b. w. Lanford, son and little

The Lawn Party at this place on the
evening of June 18th was quite q sue
cess. 1t vas given by Mrs. J. B. De-
Shields in honor of her sister Miss
Whaley, of ~Orangeburg, and Miss
Lalla Martin, of Laurens. Both of
these young ladies have been attend
ing school in Greenville, and it was
quite a ource of pleasure to have them
with us, and we know they felt q sense
of relief and liberty to be out of the
school room and from under the close
observance of the teacher. May they
have q pleasant vacation and be ready
for duty again when their college
| opens. Miss Whaley was visiting her
sister Mrs. DeShields, and Miss Mar
tin was visiting Miss Lora Patterson.
Both have returned to their homes.

OF their exhibition, and the high appre-
citation OF the large audience which was
tjnued applause which followed every
piece. Where all did 80 we'll, 1t might be
deemed unfair to p%articularize any uu-
less space enabled each to be mentioned;
tho there were certainly several who de
served special notice. The Rotations,
dialogues and speeches were we'll rem
dered rejecting much credit on teachers
and pupils. The hop drill was Just beau.
tiful and performed to perfection.
An address by Col. B. w. Ball which
was expected added much to the inter-
est OF the occasion. Many of the friends
ofIthe days when he too was a little
b stand to welcome him back to his
old home and express their sincere
pleasure in seeing him once more. His
remarks on education were to the point
and intensely interesting. Professor
Majors gave us an address on the

That young man who lives up in
Greenville County met with a sad dis
appointment on last Sunday. After
riding some seven miles, and as the
weather was rather inclement and he
was near his best girls home, he con-
cluded he would stop with q neighbor,
deposit mis- mule for the night, and pro-
ceed OF foot. He had not ~prsceeded

by the faint glimmer Of a ffght at~no
great distance, until the chilling wa

then his courage failed and he turned
himself about and sought refuge in q
been unsettled all that day, 1t was
rather strange that before retiring for
the night he should hang his trousers
out of the window to dry. The next
morning he found to his surprise that
they had not dried, and with all the
scrubbing he could do there were still
visible marks on his trousers that told
as plain as words could tell that a calf
had spent a part Of that night beneath
that window. Be it said to the credit
of the young man, he did nothing rash,
but only remarked hat as nothing but
high water would excuse the u. S.
