Act at Once.

Act at Once.
Citizens of the various town
ships in Edgefeld county should
meet at once and designate three
of their number as a township
board of pensions. Unless you do
this at an early date you will be
debarred and get no pensions for
the. year 1897. Do not wait for
somebody to call you together, but
act of your own motion and at
once. Since writing the above we
have received an official notice
published elsewhere, to which we
call the attention of all interested
in pensions.
The Missionary Service.
The mission meeting at the Baptist
church last Sunday evening was one
of decided interest, and more enjoyed
than many previous ones. The musi-
cal program consisted of hymns by the
choir, accompanied by the cornet,
clarionet, violin and organ. 4 paper
was read by Mr.. o. Sheppard written
by DR.. F. r. Timmons, and talks were
made by DR.. Gwaltney, Rev. John
Lake, J. 81. Cantelou and o. Sheppard
1t was thought that 500 could be raised
for foreign missions this month so
that this church might do its full
share in helping to liquidste the debt
now pressing so heavily on our board
and on the hearts of the Christian peo-
pie of our land who love the cause OF
Christ and the spread Of his Gospel.
