This section is needing rain badly.
We had some light showers two weeks
ago, but the constant wind soon dried
up the moisture. May has resembled
March In it's coOlness and windiness.
Inc dryness OF the atmosphere and the
wind was all that prevented frost on
several mornings. Monday was the
nrst real hot day we have had this
spring. According to Sir. Dean'smens-
urement, we are some seven inches be-
hlnd In the amount OF rain due US in
twelve months. Wells have gone dry
that had been giving water for 35
years, and many others nre SO low the
water ID hardly fit to use. This coun-
try never knew before anything about
the scarcity of water. So the present
experience is new to them. We are
the drought there will be deluge.

Mr.. w. ID. Garrison returned last
Tuesday from o pleasant visit Of Gov
eral days to relatives at Gillsville, Ga.
he tells OF the remarkable eccentricity
or one OF his relatives, who is an old
nHns DuI IN 8OOd health and OF sound
mind, yet has had his coffin made and
his grave dug for several years. The
coffin 10 made of walnut elegantly fin-
ished and the grave is cemented and
kept covered over, just ready for its
occupant. The old man thinks he has
done wisely u .sfssAiSg a!l preparations

But still better for the soul when it

Mr.. and Mrs. John Garrison visited
relatives at Walhalla last Sabbath.
Quite a large crowd attended GER
vices at Sandy Syringe ON last third
Sabbath. The pastor, Rev. s. w.
Henry, preached a plain, pointed, prac-
tical sermon, just such as was needed
and appreciated by his audience. No
one could escape it's directness, but
each felt that it was personal and
not intended for some one else. Such
preaching ie calculated to do more
good than the efforts at OratOry and
theoretical discourse we frequently
hear from the pulpit. 1ncognita.
