Rev. E. s. yones's Last Sermon.

Rev. Edw. S. Jones preached to the
Walhalla Methodist congregation last
Sunday his last sermon during the con-
ference year. Next Sunday he will hold
the usual services at Seneca, leaving
Monday for Spartanburg to be present at
the Annual Conference.
Mr.. Jones's sermon last Sunday was a
strong one, and an earnest appeal for
moro consecration and an awakening
from the spiritual lethargy that pervades
not only the Methodist church, but the
entire community. In it were both COM
mendation and rebuke for his members.
He praised the congregation for their
liberal response to financial calls, but de-
plored the lack of spirituality in the
church, for which he had sought in vain
for cause and labored without appar-
ent result to overcome. He was deeply
in earnest and appealed to his people for
radical change for the better for the
coming year. "Whether or not" he
said, II am returned to you, beseech
you to give to your pastor that spiritual
support and sympathy to which he is
In summing up his work Mr.. Jones
noted the addition to the church OF forty
members by letter, and the withdrawal
of eight who have moved away. During
his two years pastorate he has made
over 5000 pastoral calls. and has met
every appointment where it was possible
to do so. The conference collections and
other church claims have been met in
full.
MIR. Jones has made many friends here
and at Seneca during his two years in
our midst, and his return to this work
will be pleasure to his congregation
and the members of other denominations.
HIS faithful work, whatever the visible
results, have not been in vain, and with
him we trust the future holds bounti-
full harvest as reward for the sowing
of the years past. With Mr. Jones will
go to the Annual Conference the sincere
wish of many in his two congregations
that he may be returned to ns to COM
plete a four years. pastorate-the full
limit according to the laws of the Metho-
dist church.

Cement Cheaper Than Wood.

Year by year lumber is getting more
scarce and cement Ia coming rapidly
forward in the manufacture of many
things heretofore made of wood. The
first cost of cement is no more and the
lasting qualities are as Of stone. Most
farmers think if they have job oi
cement work to do, whether it be a
walk or stable floor or hog trough, that
the first thing they must do is to hire
mason at $3.50 or more a day. This ],
needless, as the average farmer can dC
the work if he is careful and will use
good material.
Use only the best Portland Gem ent
weighing 400 pounds to the barrel
This should cost only 1925 to $3.50 pei
barrel. The cheap grades are often un
satisfactory in doing good work. Las
year l put in about 800 square feet for 8
cow stable floor, using less than two
barrels cement for the job including
6-inch gutter. Some have an idea that 8
cement floor is slippery but l do not fine
it so and find that bedding will adhere tt
it better than to a plank floor. 1t is
clean, nice floor to take care Of and al
the liquids can be saved by using absorb
