Deacons 10 be Elected.
Very Pleasant Valentine
Function.
Rev. T. n. Garrett preached a
very strong and appropriate sermon
yesterday at our Baptist church
from the words of the Psalmist:
s'The righteous cry, and the Lord
heareth, and delivereth them out of
all their troubles Mr.. Garrett
raised 81 dollars, the amount pledged
al the state convention from this
church to help replace the conven-
ton building at Connie Maxwell
Orphanage, which was burned while
the state convention was in session
at Laurens. MI. Garrett also an
nounced, that he would ordain the
four new deacons recently elected
by this church, LIST Sunday in March.
Their names are: Thos. Fl. Cartledge,
J. g.. Parks, @. Robertson and y.
Garrett TaIbert. They do not take
the place of-the older deacons, four
in number, but have been elected to
assist the older members in carrying
on the Lords work in this part of
His moral vineyard.
At the risk of being accused of
mixing the ridiculous with the SUBJ
lime, permit me to tell you of one
of the most enjoyable social func-
tions ever conceived by Parksville's
young set, held at the beautiful
residence of Mrs. Virginia Stone,
and called valentine function. The
parlor was beautifully adorned and
,festooped with carnation and rosesby
the deft fingers of the following
beautiful young ladies: Mrs. Stone,
Misses Sa.lie Parks, Annie McDon-
aid, Carrie Cotton, jamie Bell Jaro,
BarbieS Christian, Maggie Mae Rob-
ertson, Rosa Minor and others,
whose names I did not get. The
major play of the evening was
;sweethearts, and the beaux on the,
occasion received some very; soft and
tender epistlss, while the old maids
and bachelors got their share of
comic ones. Poor old Anon is too
old for such things, and the above
story is about all I could get out of
the young folks, which may, or
may not be exaggerated. Verburn
sap sapienti.
Mrs. Nan Minor, wife of our es-
teemed friend, J. M. Minor, / am

We beg to correct the report in

said there were l6 drummers here
at one time and one patent medicine
man. The truth is, there were % in
all, and Is of them, together with
the patent medicine man were in the
Parodo at one time. / need not add,
as the public by this time is quite
well aware, no hotel, as yet, but
one acoming.''
