About the most difficult task that
the editor of The Advertiser has un-
dert"kcn in recent years was the
Judging of these stories. He just
took day off" and went over them
all carefully, some of them two or
three times. After about six hours
of work,he had narrowed the race
down to ten; and then came the most
difficult part. These ten were so good
and it was trying to have to make a
decision. Finally, though, after ap-
plying all the tests as to neatness.
correctness Of spelling and paragraph
ing, composition. manner of express
ion, originality, etc. he had to decide
in favor of the four named above.
There were some that ought to be
especially mentioned, though prizes
could not be awarded These were
little Henry Bennett, Leonora Leaman,
Fay Hudgens, Wash Watts, Louise
Hellams, Cora Sumerel, Annie How veil
Matte Kate Owings, Elizabeth Nose
ley, Vivian Hut, Minnie Everson Pat
ton, and Master Dewey Nelson who
made some very fine drawings of
Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus.
All these sent in fine stories and
deserve highest praise for their work.
But as matter of fact all the stories
were good. They We're the best the
editor has ever seen, out OF so large
n number. In all there were sixty
nine stories.

gelistic work.

An error in definition occurred in
last weeks issue of The Advertiser,
when 1t was stated that Rev. j. ID.
Crout would quit the ministry The
term "'located" does not mean a retire
ment; it means relief from the duties
OF pastorate, but the minister who
is located" still holds his credentials.
Rev. j. ID. Crout leaves this week for
his new home in Anderson In the
Anderson circuit lie will devote him
self to evangeistic work, in which he
will in reality do more preaching than
in pastorate.
The people of Laurens regret to give
up Mr. Crout and his excellent fami-
ly; the best wishes of all go with
them TO their new home.
