! which damageh the crops terribly.
The cotton was beaten down and over
run with sand and water. and on the
| branch bottoms the corn was also dam
aged. In many places the land was
washed off. Mr.. w. r. Brown lost IL
great deal of his corn, and had to plant
1t over. And last, but not least, Nitu
had fifty chickens drowned. 1t is not u
little thing for Il country housewife to
lose her crop of summer chickens, but
when we read Of the fearful hail storm
which occurred at some places, we do
not complain.
| Mrs Eliza Brown was called to see
her daughter, Mrs. James Long, of
Fairfield, few days ago. We hope
Mrs. Long will be speedily restored TO
health.
Miss Alma Duckett, of Newberry, is
spending month or more at Mr. Mack
Gilliam's, In order to rest up and gain
strength. There is nothing like good
country air, water and food, and feel
that we can safely promise that she
will be benefited.
| Miss Lila Baker, who has been at
tending school at Duo West, has re-
turned home. Her many friends are
| glad to have her back and looking so
we'll. We feel that she has had a sue
cessful year, as Lila is good STU
dent.
| Quite number Of persons attended
| tho services at King Creek on last Sab
bath. Rev. }. b. Hood gave us u very
| interesting sermon from the text,
! "Comc unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest" After services it was announced
that Rev. w. w. Orr, the evangelist of
the "A. X. =. church, would hold a
meeting of some length, embracing the
first or second Sabbath of August.
Many persons Of the county have heard
Kew. Orr, and others will do we'll to
I hear him. All arc urged to come and
attend these meetings. Members of
tho congregation will meet at the
| church on Friday afternoon next to
practice singing for this occasion.
This will be the first of q series of
singings, and it Is hoped that all who
can will attend.
MIR. Ernest Glymph. OF Clymphville,
fruit agent, passed through the COM
munity lately and spent night at Mr..
w. II. Browns.
we must agree with the editor in
thinking that Gen Watts lost his head
and thereby caused the row at the
South Carolina College.
Mr.. Ben I3oOZcr, of the SMYRNA
| neighborhood, has been around photo
graphing people and their homes. Sor.
~ he did not get to see that girl He
ahonld come this way again, us some
one decided to have his home taken
and tried to recall him.
! Pm glad Chips is arranging an ice
cream and watermelon festival | will
try and lend my presence, and wish to
holp in any way that can. certainly
think it would be nice to have it in the
country. Most "town folks" like to
spend day In the country. hope
our editor and his family are not eX-
ceptions to this rule. Pm anxious to
meet Mrs. Chips and Mrs. Kay and to
see Mrs. Aull again when she is not so
busy, and Mrs. Evans, don't let's forget
her; I'd like to hear her merry laugh
again. And | must request that nv
bette" half be allowed at this meeting
80 that Josh Trump'will be convinced
that Pm not Il widow, and there's little
prospect of my ever being.
Well, Fairy Belle, I must answer
you. Neither Chips nor | meant to
say anything about the usefulness of
the modern girl; did we Chips? The
poverty of our Southland demands
that women be much more useful than
before the war, but do not let this
usefulness make our girls manly. Re-
member at all times that woman's
grandest mission on earth Is her lov-
ing, Christian influence over the hearts
of men. A Northern woman, who vis-
tied one of the recent expositions in
Atlanta, said that the most charming
thing she saw was the Southern wo-
men. She said their refined manners,
soft steps and sweet voices, together
with the many little attentions which
mark the old time gentleman they re-
ceived from their escorts, made YOU
feel as If you were in fairy land. Be
modest, girls, cultivate gentle manners,
step softly, let your voice be sweet and
full of sympathy. Remember that
BLESSED are the pure in heart" and
"Avoid even the appearance of evil"
You have a sphere in life--a grand and
noble one--walk in it. If the men are
not as they should he, you alone can
make them better, and "Example is
better than.precopt."
