Landsford rood, about a mile
east of The Ca'awba river.
In May, 1851, about half a
dozen families came down from
Pennsylvania and settled in the
neighborhood where the old
church is. All Of .hese families
were OF the Presty terlan persua-
sion. While in search Of new
home. they were, therefore, pre-
pared to organize into a cOngrs-
cation, and the first church is
supposed to have been established
this same year. During the Rev

small frame building and is be-
lieved to be the third or fourth
one built on the grounds.
AndrewJackson is said to have
been born about six miles from
this old church site, and it was
within the walls of this old
church, says Howe's "History OF
the Presbyterian Church," that
Mrs. Jackson presented her little
son, Andrew, to be baptized. He
attended this church until he
was grown.

fore the Revolution. Most sI;rhs
earlier graves were marked With
small, dark, uncut stones, some
times with initial letters on them,
but more often with none at all.
All of the inscriptions were carved
by hand. As there were no news
papers published in those days,
this then was about the only way
people had of giving public ex-i
preston to their feelings and
emotions over their departed
ones. One inscription was:
"This monument points out
the spot where are deposited the
earthly remains of Mary MGR ,e
Donnon, the wife OF Capt. Isaac
Donnon, who died November 81,
1909, aged 26 years, l moath, 5

FINDING FAULT.

Has ii ever occurred to you that
we criticise most severely in others
the faults we possess ourselves? A
merciless criticism at times INDUCED
in by the people whose lives are
marked by the shortcomings they
think so bad in others.
The matter had best be met BY a
resolve to restrain all fault-fnding.
ard what more fitting opportunity
to turn over a new leaf than the be-
ginning of the year, when SO many
things round US also also new? Try
the experiment Of looking for the
good and shutting your eyes to the
evil in those among whom your
lives are cast.
To the woman who Is mistress OF
house this resolve is most neees-
sary She has SO many Opportuni-
ties. her servants, her children, her
husband, are all more or less in her
charge and she feels it her duty to
point out their faults. II Is un-
pleasant certainly to have to live
with people who are always doing
things that irritatc you, but you
cali attention to them in some play
full, roundabout manner that will
never cause you to be accused OF
| lault-iinding.
There are people who act upon the
belief that those under them will
never do their best work unless sub.
! iccted to constant fault-finding and
that the only way to keep work III
to the mark is to point out ever!
possible flaw.
A little praise and encouragement
when a thing is well done would dt
fifty times more good than scOldint
for something which has been ne
elected or forgotten. \ more usefu
lesson to be learned by every one i.
what to see and what not to see;
what to hear and what not to hear
We might then be able to give sym
pathy where others sheer or en-
enlargement where others rebuke OF
condemn. FIX.

is further to be admitted that they

therefore make the largest return for

true that many of them are not ac-
quaimted with the kinds and proper
tiOns of fertilizers which will pro-
duce the largest yield and the best
quality.
The mission of this train is to in
form them on these points. and Incl
dcntally to stir up afrcsh an active
interest in farming as pursuit.
These instruction classes should be
accompanied by the formation Of

THE SALE OF CIGARETTES.

II has been called to the atten-
ton of this paper that cigarettes are
being freely sold to minors by more
than one merchant of this city. II
Is possible that these dealers do not
know that they are violating State
law in making these sales. Some
parents of boys who are being sup
plied with the coffin nails, do know
this, however, and we are writing
this in a spirit of friendly warning
to save somebody possible trouble.
II is not for us to dictate how
anybody should run their business,
or to offer any criticism, as long as
people keep w,thin the law; but
we believe NEST merchants would get
along just a vel If they did not sell
cigarettes at all. Certainly no one
