DIR. T. o. kirkpatrick was the first one
in this town to become the owner Of moter
car. He had it on the streets for the first
time, Monday evening trying it and giving
to others, their first ride with some OF it's
pleasures, and fortunately none OF its sor-
rows. -
Miss Camille Smith, who had been visit
ing friends and relatives in Ohio for some
time, came back to her home here Tues
day.
Tuesday and since then has been making
an effort to get up music class, and from
her success, it may be safely said that she
will have charge of the musical department
in the school the coming year.
Mrs J. A. Hawthorn, and her daughter,
Miss Annie Hawthorn OF Latimer were
here with friends Wednesday and Thursday
of last week.
Mr.. ID. L. Barnes went to Anderson C.. H.
last week and bought and brought back
with him, Shetland pony, and consider,
ably undersised buggy and may be called
turn out" as you ever see, and well
answers its purpose it is ian outing" for
the little folks and for drive for not too
many at once, Of the big folks.
DR.. A. J. Speer who had been q resident
Of this place, since soon after the war, and
moved to Cornelia, Ga. last winter came
back to this place Tuesday, and says that
he is going to stay this time; his family
will soon follow, and all will be welcom-
ed.
Mrs E. S. Harbert of Newberry, President
of the South Carolina, w. c. L. Union, and
Miss Emma Gary of Spartanburg, Field
Secretary of the Anti Saloon League and
Assistant Editor of the S. c. Voice, came
here Wednesday evening. That night, at
$50 with but a very short notice being
given the last lecture in the methodist
church. 1t was an unfavorable night and
the crowd present was much smaller than
it otherwise would have been. The next
day at $50 p. m. the first named gave a
talk to the ladies and was to have talked
again, at $50 p. m. in the Methodist church
yet because of the bad weather the meeting
was not held. Our people were glad to have
these good ladies with them, and much re-
GREETED that their stay here, was not so
pleasant as it would have been with better
weather
AS to whether all of the different denom-
nations represented in this place by the
| little folk and the big folk, followed or car
| ried out the instructions or suggestions OF
| those in charge OF the orphanageS in this
state to observe orphanage day last Satur-
day and give at least a part Of their earn
| iugs of that day to the betterment Of those
noble institutions, is not known to the
writer He can only speak a little defin-
itely as to the Methodists. AS to what the
Methodists did in behalf of their Orphan
age he can say that the church in this
place contributes the every fourth Sun
days school collection to that benevolent
object. This systematic and regular way
of meeting demands is preferable to only
utilizing Orphans Day, for helping these
unforiunates. By the Sunday School yes
terday, and later by the church service
collection between twenty and thirty dol
lars we're raised. 1t is said that some of
our incest young ladies who never did any
field work before picked cotton on Satur-
day to raise money for this fund.
Prof. and Mrs. J. +. Harper and their
children of Hcardmont come ovdr Satur-
day morning and were with relatives here
till yesterday evening.
1t seems thatsthe "Triuue Immersion
ists," vulgarly called "holy rollers" are
somewhat of in their predictions as to the
end of the world. One of the leaders gave
out at the last meeting that if the collapse
failed to materialize at the appointed time
ut p. m. on Saturday it would be post
poned for fifty years, good long respite.
This from Massachusetts, nothing better
could be exspected from that state.
