like to see at this tine of the years
so that all hands keep busy trying
to conquer the grass that seems to
grow faster than the crop.
Our town was visited by hail
storm on last Saturday, which was
not heavy enough to do any serious
damage.
Greelyville was almost deserted
last Sunday. Nearly everybody
went to Corinth Presbyterian church,
at which there were preaching and
communion services.

ably assisted in the initiatory cere-
