Parksville J ubilant Over Return
of Spring. School Soon to
Close.

Close.
Sunday the 9Th, was a most beau.
tiful and lovely day, and we people
of Parksville couldappreciate it the
more on account of the contrast.
Did you ever stop to think that we
could not appreciate the good with
out the evil alongside it, and on
this principle, the bad weather of
the past few weeks, helped us to
appreciate a beautiful Sabbath, and
caused many to turn their steps to-
wards the house of worship.
Rev. T. H. Garrett preached a
strong and helpful sermon yesterday
morning to a good congregation Of
Baptist folks from the words: i
must work the works of Him that
sent me, while it is day."
The attendance at night upon our
B. Y. P. U. meeting a good, the
subject being the Boards of the
Southern Baptist Convention and
state mission work.
Bro. j. G.. Parks. read a strong
paper, Bro. T. G. Talbert made an
earnest talk on our missions boards,
while Miss Martha Dorm acquitted
herself well on the woman's mis-
sionary union, auxiliary to the south
ern Baptist convention.
The meeting was a good one, and
educative in its tendency; and we
congratulate our young people in
being so willing to fit themselves
for the work the church of the flu
ture has for them as we'll as the
state and nation. i
In travelling around in the last
few days the odor of new turned
soil, as well as that of the popular
fertilizers, meets ones olfactories,
without any unpleasant sensations
because of what they indicate. We
hope the farmers, who seem so buoy
ant, may have a prosperous year,
and to make it so, in my opinion.
they must not forget to plant plenty
of corn.
The bright sunshine has caused
the trees to bud, and the small grain
"to Whoop." so to speak. The barren
hills and valleys of a few days ago,
are this morning clad in lovely
green, which makes us predict a
large yield of this cereal.
The gardeners: you just ought to
see how busy to-day our women are
with their gardens, and if
they are not in their gardens, they
are spending the day making plans
for vigorous work in the near flu
ture.
Coroner John Brunson and wife
have just returned from a months
sojourn in orr beautiful state CAPT
tai, Columbia, where they had been
visiting their Son John, Jr. They
had a pleasant trip and the judge is
full of "reminiscences.
Mrs. Jennie Parks, of the town
of Woodlawn, S. c., visited her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Brunson,
and her husbands, Mr.. and Mrs,
Joe Parks, yesterday, bringing with
her her two lovely little children.
Mr.. WILDER Strom, from Reho-
both, visited relatives here and
made a fly ing trip to Greenwood
yesterday. WILDER likes Greenwood,
and seems to mean business.
Mr.. Will Whatley, another of
Rehoboth's popular young men, was
a welcomed visitor Saturday and
Sunday. We have at P~arksville, some
rare attractions for some of Reho-
both's beaux, huff sed."
: Our school will close here next
Friday afternoon, and we under
stand that Prof. John Bussey, the
principal in charge will have an in
teresting entertainment.
/ am glad to report the sick of
the community all better. 1t was a
treat to see our old friend, John c.
Morgan, in his accustomed place in
our Baptist church yesterday, after
having been a "shut-in" SO long. He
is regaining his strength rapidly,
and we trust will soon be himself
again.
We are sorry to report our friend
Jimmie Talbert, of Rehoboth, quite
sick though his physicians think
him some better.
