The rains Of last week and this week
have greatly delayed the work Of SOW
ing small grain and the farmers are
very anxious to see some fair weather.
A big rain fell here Tuesday night and
the land will not be dry enough to
plow this week. There is still plenty
Of time in which to get grain sowed,
provided the weather clears up, but
slowly and 1t Is hard to get more than
one or two days blowing between rains
and very often the land does not get
dry enough to plow from one rain to
another. Such has been the case in
this section Of the county for the past
two or three weeks
Rev. w. A. Beckham preached his
last sermon at Antioch last Sunday
for the conference year. His next ap-
pcintment here on the third Sunday
will be filled by the presiding elder,
Rev. r. f. Stackhouse. The annual
conference meets in Laurens this
month. Mr.. Beckham has been on
this charge two years and he has
host Of friends who are anxious to
have him returned next year.
The county surveyor has been at
work in this section. He was survey
ing the public road that runs from
Rock Hill to McConnellsville, and
which passes through this section,
when the rain set in last week.
There was more interest taken in the
general election, at Ogden Tuesday
than for number of years, although
the vote was not as large as 1t should
have been. There are about ITO names
on the club roll at this box, but If the
roll was carefully revised there would
probably not be over $50. Only 81 Of
this number are registered and 80 Of
these voted in the election Tuesday.
There was less than half this number
voted four years ago, so we are in
formed, and Mr.. w. H. Dunlap, who
was one of the managers in the gen.
eral election eight years ago, Is author
ity for the statement that there were
only eight votes cast in that election,
these being cast by the six managers
and the two clerks. So comparing the
vote Tuesday with that Of the two
preceding elections, Ogden shows up
quite an Improvement along this line,
but the people are not yet fully awake
to the Importance Of casting their vote
in the general election.
Mr.. r. E. Griffin had a fine bird dog
which is supposed to be suffering with
rabies, to leave his home last Sunday
morning. The dog is black with a
white spot in the breast. 1t was seen
by one or two parties after leaving
home and was known to fight with
several dogs. 1t was last seen in the
Brattonsville neighborhood.
Mrs. Agnes Isom Of Rock Hill. who
Is recovering from a serious illness,
came down Sunday to spend a few
davs with her sister, Mrs. ]. H. Dun
can.
The ginneries are not crowded now
os they were few weeks ago, and the
November report will not be calculat-
ed to bear" the market much.
