Talk on Missionary '. ork to Good
 Audience.
 Greenville, March 23.-(Special )-Mrs T. A. Hamilton of Birmingham, reached here yesterday morning and was the guest of Mrs. Jefferson Beeland. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon she gave a talk on mis- sionary work to a fair sized audience of ladies. She talked Interestingly on foreign and home missions work and the great need of help along this line showing q thorough knowledge of the field
 The primary class of the Sunday school gave several beautiful songs, in which they displayed careful training Miss Genie Powell. the bright little daughter of Hon. D. M. Powell, illustrated the twenty-third Psalm with the sand table, showing the manner in which the class Is taught each Sabbath morning. It was very interesting to all present and gave an insight into the method used by the eminently successful teachers. Misses Eula and Katie McMillan, who conduct this department.
 Little Margaret Cater presented Mrs Hamilton with basket of exquisite flow CTS, which she accepted gracefully Con- tinuing her remarks, she told the children of China, and showed them curios from that country. which greatly pleased the little folk. Mrs. Hamilton spoke to the children of the work of the Sunbeam Society, and urged them to organize one among themselves, which will probably be done very soon.
 After the exercises at the church. a re- ccption was held at the pastorium which afforded all the ladies an opportunity to meet Mrs. Hamilton. The parlor and dining room were thrown together, and were handsomely decorated with palms. ferns and roses Fruit nectar and cake were served.
 A social feature of the work greatly enjoyed by the Yoman's Club was a re- ception given by the club at the resi- dence of the directress, Mrs. E. Dunklin Thames in honor of Miss Aileen Powell, whose marriage occurs early next month.
 After all assembled, the roll was called, but instead of each responding. as usual, with current event, quotation on ma trimony was given. Mrs. Thames then read some resolutions to Miss Powell, who. as one of the most active members of the club will be sadly missed. Slips of paper were given each member with the request that she write thereon some good advice to the bride-to-be. These were collected and read by the directress
 The guests were now invited into the dining room where an elegant two course luncheon was served. The places at the table assigned the guests were found by cards containing their names On the op- posite side of the card verse appropriate to the occasion was written. and the la- dies being called read aloud the verses At the conclusion of the report a toast was prepared by Mrs. Hunter, meeting with charming response by Miss Powell The afternoon was one of the most de- lightful ever spent by the club.

Olym- piodorus records that Libanus, an Asiatic magician, brought the secret to Constan- tius in A.

ditions in the central valleys but fire.
quent rains have interrupted this work
