This is the Report from Cross Hill
Revival Services ut the Pres
LItcriau Church.

Cross Hill Aug. Capt Jack Per-
rim, clerk Of court OF Abbeville coun-
ty, and Mrs. Perrin, We're here last
week enroute to Harris Springs. Mrs.
Perrin visited her relatives. Messrs.
w. T. and Il. A. austin, for few
days.
Mrs. Mary Bradley left for her home
at Jackson, Georgia, last Friday.
Preacher Leek, colored minister,
lost his barn by fire last Monday
night. A good horse, wagon and
buggy were also burned. 1t is thought
the fire was of incendiary origin.
The rains continue; farmers can
plow only one or two days each week.
Cotton on sandy land is little and in
many fields very grassy The out
look is discouraging. On clay lands
crops are good.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ r. McCuen OF Bel
ton are visiting relatives in town.
Rev. G. F. Rankin of Laurens
preached at the Presbyterian church
Yesterday The meeting will be con
tinucd during the week.
Those persons who favor the dis
penEa"y in the wet" counties harp
on the revenue. Isn't it strange that
they forget that al! that money comes
from the pockets Of ,he:. people, and
most OF it from those WHO can least
afford it?
