Well, Kay, you ought to have been
out with old Chips at church last Sun
day and heard that compliment lady
passed upon the old boy. Well, Miss
Chelcy is a lady of u noble mind and
her judgment can't be excelled.
know it will make you feel bad, but
just ask her what she said over at
Bachman Chapel on the second Sun

Rev. g. p. Boozer preached one Of
his good old-time sermons last Sunday
from Exodus 20:8, "Remember tho Sab
bath Day to keep 1t holy" Oh, to God
that cvery Sabbath breaker could have
been present! The congregation held
an election for officers, which resulted
as follows: Elders, S. J. K;nard, G. S.

nard; deacons, y. L. B. Epps, r. N.
Taylor, B. Nj. D. Livington, j. w.
Bobb. 1t may be noticed that almost
an entire new council has been elected,

We have always heard the OLD maxim
that it's long lane that has no turn,
but the Pomaria lane has turned at last
OF oil the trials that have ever been
held in Newberry County to our khowl-
edge the Riser burglar case excels
them all. We bave never seen the
people struck so forcibly with wonder
and surprise as they were over this
trial. For thirteen years we have
lived on the Pomaria road, and the like
of travelling that was done last week
we have never witnessed before. 1t
was continual thing day and night,
people going to and from town. In
fact, this case has become the whole
topic of conversation. Good people, l
shall withhold comment upon the mat
ter, for it is really burden to my
mind to just even think that such a
thing should happen among our own
white race. Now this should be q
warning to one and all, both white and
black. Let everybody come to 1he con-
clusion that stealing don't pay, and go
to work. Like all the rest of the Divine
Word Of God, this is also true: There
is nothing that is hidden but what
shall be revealed, and nothing covered
but what shall be known.
No, Brother Clodhopper, Dixie is no
circus dog. He's one of those sooner
dogs. We believe that he would soon

turn around fast because he works on q

He can jump higher, stay up longer,
turn around faster and bark louder
than any other little dog in America.
There will be communion services at

We have always known that some oi
our good old-time women have been
somewhat superstitious in the way OF
planting their garden seeds in the
signs, but we didn't think that this
same idea followed the men. But my
friend Tom showed me better. He be-
lieves in planting his onion sets in the
light knights, and to plant them in the
night and not in the day, and try and
get them all as near in tho same row as
possible.
Never mind, Kay, everything is wei
that ends we'll. About three week:
ago when you were pouring out your
fury upon the old man Chips he was W
all day and seven nights out OF the
