Already those who have wood
to buy are finding 1t difficult tc
supply their needs. This commod-
ity grows scarcer and scarcer with
each succeeding winter. Another
reason why it is more uificult to
obtain wood now is that the peo-
pie who reside in the country dis
tricta are more prosperous and do
not care 10 haul it at the prevail
ing prices, for there is but a sn all
margin of profit afIer the cost of
hauling it for several miles is
paid.sAfter the roads are bad, as
they usually are in winter, the
wood problem will be still more
serious aud vexatious.
A real frst-class orchestra has
been organized to furnish music
for The Sunday school of our Bap-
list church. The instruments con-
sist of an organ, piano. c'arionet,
and two cornets, the last named
three-being played by Mr.. George
F. Minis, Mr.. Ralph Jones and
DR.. e. C. Smith. At no religious
service does good music count for
more than in the Sunday school.
1t makes the hour pass more
pleasantly for the older p' rsons
and attracts the children, causing
those who are not in the habit of
attending to enroll their names.

After the eermon at our Metho-
dist church on Sunday morning
las. the popular and greatly b :
loved pastor, Rev. Marvin Auld,
annnonced that he would take
special collection for the purpose
of repairing and improving II e
church building. The cal was
to very literally by the
of the church and in al
incredibly short time the sum of
$40 was raised, only $125 being
asked for. Such generous ani.
spontaneous gifts from his flock
must be very encouraging tc a
pastor, making him feel and know
that his people are ever ready 10
hold up his hands, making mat )
rial sacrifices if.need he, in order

On Thursday last anegro, john
Griffin, who was employed
about the gin cf Mr.. NJ. B.
Hamilton, through thoughtless-
ness or negligence, got his cloth
ing caught on a shaft that was
making about $50 revolutions per
minute and was so terribly man.
gled and bruised that he died from
the effects a few hours after being
extricated. People know the dan
ger of c>ming in contact with ma
chinery that is running, yet, being
about the machinery SO constant
ly, they are unmindful of the ever
present danger and often lose
their lives. The above tragedy is
all the more deplorable when it
is considered that John Griffin
was straightforward, upright ne
gro, which cannot be said of all
Of the living, or the dead either,
of his race.
