SUNSHINE MADE UP
The MONTH OF MAY
Only Seven Cloudy Days Out
Of 81

May was certainly the month of
sunshine, if not of flowers, for there
were twenty two sunshiny days out Of
the total of thirty-one, according to
the local weather records.
When one considers further that
there were only seven cloudy days III
the month, with a further number OF
only two partly cloudy ones, the I'M
usually good record as regards fair
weather becomes still more apparent.
Yet with it there was a rainfall of 2.S
inches, which is not bad at ais with
such display of sunshine.

a minimum of as show how the wealth
er went into training for the heavy
heat spurts experienced during the

SUNDAY SCHOOL MEMBERS
ENJOYED ANNUAL PICNIC
Wednesday Was Pleasant at
Myrtle Springs

Six wagon loads of scholars and
friends of the Presbyterian Sabbath
school had a great day of feasting and
fun last Wednesday out at Myrtle
Springs. This annual mile-post was
made pleasant by this occasion.
The school now looks forward 20
the annual Rally Day, the first Sunday
in October. TAT that time the new
system of honors and promotions,
based upon work accomplished, Will
be inaugurated. Meanwhile the Off
GERS and teachers, under the leader
ship of the pastor, Rev. J. w. Stokes,
are gradually grading the classes of
the school according to the method ap-
proved by the General Assemblys su-
perintendent of schools, DR.. A. L. Phil
lips, of Richmond, Va.
Tomorrow morning, Mr.. Stokes pre-
|sents to his congregation the Secret
of Church Growth" The progress of
the work in the past and at present is
most gratifying to pastor and people.
This discourse will accordingly be lis
tened to by people already interest
ed and greatly DESTROYS to know how
the work may be advanced still far
Their. The GOODNESS and comfort of the
church building presents in itself an
inducement for members and friends
of the congregation to attend the SER
vices that is being responded to by
an increasing number.
Following up the general line of
the morning sermon at night, the
preacher will have as his theme, ''Won
By One"
The Sabbath school begins prompt
ly at $3.50 a. M; the church services
at II a. m. and pm. The public is
cordially invited to all services.

FARMERS INTERESTED
In GOOD ROADS
Mr.. West Says Much Build
ing Done

Savannah, Ga, June 9.-Mr. James
I. West, state inspector for the prison
commission, was in Savannah today
after having completed a thorough trip
through most of the counties in South
Georgia. Mr.. West visited practically
each county in this section of the state
and he was mast gratified to note that
the corn in Chatham was superior in
its growth to any he saw elsewhere.
He said the corn on the county farm
was far superior to any he has seen
this year
'All the farmers" said Mr. West,
"are highly satisfied, especially with
cotton, and / heard no particular de-
mands for rain. Cotton is in SPLEEN
did condition and there will be plenty
of money in the farmers pockets
when picking begins. Agricultural
conditions seem about ideal.
1.-THE building of roads was helped
materially by the rains. Many of the
counties are building roads of clay
and sand, and a long continued dry
spell results in much of the sand
being blown away The rain will
benefit them greatly. The road ques-
ton seems to have the farmer in
tensely interested, and the people of
all the counties in the state are en-
thusiastic about their construction.
In Washington county l found spleu-
did roads, and l do not think it long
before nearly all of the counties of
the state will be connected by a fine
system of roads"
