Born unto Mr.. and Mrs. Ho
ve2sNealey on the 18th inst o son.
Miss. Mile Foster, of Olga,

j. Sam Wilson and Kirk
Mauldin from the Liberty section
were in Pickens on busine ss Friday
last.
-Englncer Jeanes will soon
have completed one Of the prettiest
cottages in Pickens, 1t is the
work of B. e. Grandy.
1t matters not how dull other
business may become, the Office of
County Superintendent of Educa-
ton is always busy place.
VIM. J. Stribling, of Walhalla,
candidate for congress, spent Fri
day in Pickens. Mr.. Strib-
ling also spent some time, while
on this side, travelling through the
county.
Heavy rains at the sources of
Town and Wolfe Greeks made
those streams raging floods down
their courses Thursday night, tho
scarcely any rain had fallen in this
vicinity.
I'VE are requested to announce

duct prayer meeting service at old

1t is said that man IN the
Weather Bureau at Washington
has invented an apparatus for cool.
ing the atmosphere in dwellings,.
He ought to invent some scheme
to conserve this heat to DO turned
loose as occasion might demand IN
cold weather, then his invention
would be complete.
--Ban r. Mcdaniel and family
came up from Columbia last Thurs
day where they have made their
home for the past year, and are
now at the home Of Sheriff j. H.
e. Mcdaniel for the summer, Miss
Sallie who has been with her broth.
er in Columbia, for several weeks,
CAME up with them.

is one thing the matter with us; we
are neglecting the little things
which count w. surprisingly and
giving our chief attentions to
things which seem larger and more

Another venture in the Muga.
