Labor and Social pleasures combined
is a source of much benefit to the farmers
here, both mentally and financially. In
! this kind of entertainment, which is be-
coming quite popular during this season
of the year, is now in full force. Each
neighbor gathers an immense pile ofIlogs
and wood in his wood yard; then an en-
CINE and saw goes the rounds each neigh
Dor helping the other with the saving
1t requires about twelve men to the yard.
When the pile is finished, big spread, a
big spread of chicken pot-pie, cakes, pies,
and all the available goods that a success
ful farmer can provide; even the ''apple
Jack" comes in for its course in polite
society. This set-out would be called
banquet, and it does in many instances
surpass a fashionable banquet in its
quantity and quality. Nat Stewart is do
ing the saving and there is no fear Of
"Jack Frost" or wintry blizzard from
the size of the numerous wood piles in
the neighborhood.
In honor of their daughter RATES. 10Th
birthday, Mr.. and Mrs. George Cover
dale gave a party to select family and
social circle, on Monday evening; very
much to Miss RATES. surprise. After a
evening of music, games, ETC.,
the company assembled in the spacious
and nicely decorated DINING room;when
and deicacies of the season
we're served in fine style. Most promi-
nent among those present besides the rel-
ltives, were DR.. Nellie Tease, two of our
teachers, John w. West and Miss Short,
Misses May Laundry, Lille Fisher,
Linda and Dorothy Warren, Katie Lynch
If Georgetown, and the young gentlemen
If the town.
Mrs. James Mathews, of Bridgevile, and
Mrs. May Morris, of Greenwood, are at {
he bedside of Mrs. Mathews of this 8
own, who is very i'll.
Whooping cough is quite prevalent t
mong the children and many are unable
o attend school. Many parents refuse to /
end their children in fear'of the disease. c
There was an exciting time in Princi- {
al Vests room in our school Tuesday, +
nd the whole school was thrown into a c
anic BY a threshing administered to {
yillieO'Neil. The boy had disobeyed
ne teacher and was demanded to APP Il
ologize; which he refused to do, then a
attic ensued, which ended in a bunged o
ye. Many threats of revenge and pros "
,ption comes from the parental side; Il
hich it is hoped a calm consideration 5
ill prevent. While the boy was in the Il
rong and deserved his wailoplng we o
insure the Principal for losing his tenn Il
er. He should have kept cool, and it is e.
1w to be seen if he will use stringent st
cans to punish others equally bad. te
