Ogden, December 1.-THE people OF
this section have about finished gath
ering the cotton crop, but there are a
few scattering bales to gin yet. Near
ly everybody Is also through sowing
small grain and the people will soon
begin to take notice of the near ap-
proach of Christmas. There will be
few holidays and then the more
progressive farmers will begin to think
about making preparations to begin
another crop. In fact some are already
blowing out their cotton stalks and II
the ground does not get too wet there
will be considerable plowing done be-
fore Christmas. Just as soon as the
weather clears up and turns real cold
there will be a lot Of pork butchered
around Ogden. There will be some
prize winners in this section when
butchering time comes. Quite a num-
Der of farmers in this community have
some of the first hogs in their pens that
have ever been raised in this part OF
the county. The corn crop turned out
much better than was expected, and
plenty Of corn generally means plenty
of pork.
At the fourth quarterly conference OF
North Rock Hill circuit, the old board
of stewards of Antioch, consisting OF
Messrs w. S. Percival, l. S. Kidd, j.
B. Davis and VIM. Newsom, were re-
elected for another year. Mr.. w. T
Hollis. superintendent of the Sunday
school was also reelected. 1t is a
little hard to keep Sunday schools al
country churches from going into win
ter quarters and while the Antioch
Sunday school is not as live as II
should be, (very few Of them are) 1t is
perhaps the best school on this charge
and it will be run through the winter
months, though the attendance may be
rather small for month or two.
The members of the Chapel al
Smiths Turnout are having a new
coat of paint applied to both the ex-
terror and interior Of the building
The seats will also be painted.
The Ogden school opened last week
for the winter session with Misses Vir-
ginia Miller of Varnville and Margaret
Brownlee of Brownsville, both of this
state, in charge. The school opened
with a good attendance, and the board
IF trustees believe that under the new
management, the school will continue
to hold a foremost place among the
rural schools of the county.
Rev w. A. Beckham, who for two
wears has been pastor Of the North
Rock Hill circuit, preached his fare
we'll sermon at Antioch last Sunday
morning to a large congregation. The
people on his charge were hopeful that
he would be returned another year
but the conference saw fit to send him
70 another field. The new pastor Rev.
w. NJ. Owings. will preach his first
sermon at Antioch on the afternoon
If the third Sabbath in this month.
H. will come as stranger to the peo-
ple, but 1t is needless to say that he
will be received with a welcome that
vii! make him feel on his first visit
that he Is among his best friends.
