GRESSIVE TOWN.

| Again We have rain and nature smiles
and the tlo"ers are bloomingand Chips
is happy. ......
w. A. Kiuard has been up spending
Easter with tho home folks. He Ie
turned to Columbia Tuesday.
We notice tho announcement in tho
Herald and News that Mr.. Leander
| Long OF the Bethlehem section was
dead. Mr.. Long was ut ono time OF Of.
our citizens, and good one he was,
and regret to hear Of MS death.
Mrs. Sarah 'Quatlebaum, nee Lang
ford, is on visit to tho parental roof,
! Mr.. Quatlebaum accompanies hcr.
| DR.. Hallman's congregation here
gave him an easter pounding and
good big ono 1t was too. 1t was the
kind of pounding that all preachers are
specially fond OF. If there is congre-
CATION in this county who doubt this
venture TO say with fear of successful
contradiction that If you will try it
| once, your pastor will like it too, see If
he don't, and then too it shows him
that you appreciate him and think If
him. Try It.
| The Sunday School of Grace church
will have picnic on the Goth of May.
The place has not been selected. The
school will leave town this year, and
will not have their usual picnic on the
| church ground. This will be an en-
| joyablo affair and in all probability
they will have an address or two.
The delegates from Grace Luther
League TO tho Central League at St.
Pauls onSaturday, are Prof. II C.Counts,

Lilly Luther and Annie B.llc Wise.
One OF our tOwnsmcn Rev. J. w.
Blanton was elected a delegate TO the
prohibition convention which meets in
Columbia today. If tho prohibition
movement ever expects to crystulize
public opinion they must do more than
meet once in or 3 years and elect dele
gates TO state prob 'bition convention.
They must agatate and educate and
DO it all the tiinc. | yield tho
palm to no one when it comes to pro-
hibition, but when sec men elected to
convention who are not and never was
prohibitionists fail to sec where any
good is coming to tho body of proht-
bitionists from such mixed convention.
| have no reference to the delegation
from this county, but Il delegate from
Greenwood county told ne that several
Of the counties had elected outright
whiskey men. | fear the object of
these people arc to get on to tho pro.
hibition wagon and use it to defeat or
destroy tho dispcnsary system and
fastcn system Of high license upon us.
This is'Of course my individual opinion
and all Gun say is "wntch Tom"
Tho Prince Victorious was rendered
| by the Sundayschool o: Grace church
i lust Sunday night. Notwithstanding
| the rain there was Il very good nu-
diencc present and it dono one-soul
| good to hear those children sing and

was tastcfully decorated. a large
white cross with ivy cntwncd stood in
the fairgrounds, with a mound of
rocks leading up to it, with back.

not elaborate they were very beautiful
and tasteful and pleasing to the eye.
There is probability, am told, of re.
peating the service on ncXt Sunday

| repay all to come and hear it.
