Prosperity, January !>.-.\c;i11%
on the suggestion oi the State Den
tai association the Prosperity grad
cd school has invited the dentists
of our town to give lectures on the
care and treatment Of the mouth
and teeth. The physicians OF the
town have also been requested to
lecture on hygiene before the
school. This is a move in the right
direction and will result IN much
! GOOD to the children. With two
: dentists and six physicians there
; will be some interesting lectures III
store for the pupils.
We have read quite lot in the
papers about the Clemson car. We
wonder if our town will do any
thing to get this car to come to Our
town and let our people see what
our agricultural college is dong.
The Southern Farmer is trying to
tell them. This. together with
visit bv the car. will be helpful.
The communion in Grace church
last Sunday was large. The annual
meeting of the congregation was
held and reports were made by the
officers of the church and conSre-
cation. The reports showed the
work of the congregation to be IN
fine condition. The attention OF
the people is now turned towards a
new church. Active work will be
undertaken in a short while and
we hope BY the end Of the year to
see walls of the new building rising,
if not completed.
On a recent trip to Greenwood
we met our former townsman. Mr..
|! Kenneth Baker, and enjoyed his
hospitality. We also visited the
! Greenwood Lumber and Bobbln
company's fine plant. where we saw
some of the finest cabinet work ev-
er done in Our state. 1t was the
,, office and fixtures for the bank OF
! Cross Hill. We were also shown
through the Bank Of Greenwood'
. This is one of the finest bank build
ings in the state. The entire equip
ment is complete and'up-to-date ana
would do credit to city five times
the size of the city Of Greenwood.
Our impression of tie town is that
it is one of the most up-to-date and
hustling towns to be found any
where,
We had the pleasure also of meet
ing Walter T. Jones, a hustler OF
the grip. who is organizing a whole
; sale grocery company for Columbia.
II Greenwood can successfully
maintain two wholesale houses OF
considerable size Columbia ought to
hove half q dozen where there are
onlv two. Jones is hustler and
he usually succeeds in what he TIL
dertakes.
In passing we noticed that the
! fields along the railroad were seeded
to small grain to larger extent
! than we had ever observed before
This will help curtail the acreage
j in cotton. Diversity is the cry and
it is the thing for, Our people to do.
Raise plenty of hog and homlny
and cotton as surplus. says the
Southern Cotton Growers assocla-

i Mr. /. s. Bowers received ca
blegram from his daughter, Mrs.
! Thornwell Haynes, on Aonda!
that she had arrived safe at Shang-
! hal, China. Her long journey was
nearly at an end as she had only
! few hundred miles more to travel.
! Mrs. J. +. Browne will! give her
musicale on January 2o. \ tull
program will be given next week.
We had to part with our fellow
townsn1an today when MIR. J. II.
