L
and discomforts of heavy snow,
the first in several years. On Satur-
day it was scarcely possible for pc
destrians to be about, and the rural
carriers attempted to cover their
routes but were forced to return,
Mr.. J. E. Swearingen's horse Grip
ping itself by a fall. Capt t. R.
Denny who lets nothing hinder him
and Jack" made their 81 miles,
as if there was nothing unusual.
None enjoyed the snow as much as
the school boys, who were free for
the day and had nothing to do but
make Main street a place to be
avoided, by their snow balling, and
gleeful yells.
Considering the icy cold weather
and slippery streets on Sunday, the
record at the Baptist Sunday school
was really good one. There were
56 present, with a collection of
s4.46. The usual preaching service
was held, others coming to attend.
During the services DR.. Dorset
stated that he had been thinking OF
having a series of revival services
in the early spring, and had writ
ten DR.. Hatcher, of Richmond, Va,
asking him to assist. An earlier date
seemed more convenient to him, so
he will arrive on 9th of January.
and on Sunday the 2sth the servi-
ces will begin. Some of the MEM
bers know DR.. Hatcher, personally
and are looking forward to his
coming. He is a versatile, gifted
man, and it is hoped that his COM
ing will mean much to the church.
The meeting of the Mary Ann
Buie chapter, D. of Q. last week,
was one of much business, and sew
eral things of Importance were dis
cussed. 1t was decided to invite the
district conference, of the d. of c.,
of an early date, to meet with the
chapter, Miss Alice Earle, one of
the state vice presidents, to be in
attendance. This meeting is for one
day only, and there is no limit to
the number of delegates coming
from the chapters included in this
western division, it being hoped,
that every daughter can be present.
Miss Earle is to arrange the time of
meeting.
Gen. Robert E. Lees birthday
January 10th, will be observed by
the chapter by having the historical
meeting on that date, and an inter-
esting program has been arranged.
The meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. w. L. Coleman.
The Glee Club of Wofford COL
lege wishes to come soon, and give
an entertainment, under the auspi-
ces of the D. of G. They have been
here before and gave a splendid
evenings enjoyment, and in all
probability, the chapter will ar
range for their coming. The un-
yelling of the monument was dis
cussed, and as the weather keeps so
unfayorable, the date was changed
to later one.
Mr.. Sam Wolfe has purchased
the home of the late Mrs. Lena
Lewis. and has taken up his abode
there.
DR.. and Mrs. B. L. Allen are
now domiciled in the Cassles house.
Mr.. John w. Payne, of Laurens,
spent Saturday and Sunday here
with relati, es.
Mr.. II. w. Crouch was visitor
to Columbia during the past week.
Mesdames G. G.. Waters, and
Edwards went to Augusta last We'd
nesday to see their sister Mrs. Geo.
White, who is at the city hospital
for medical treatment.
Johnston has the honor of being
the second in the state to have a
Boys Scout Club" organized,
club being organized in Camden a
few days ago. The boys met in DR..
Dorset's study on Thursday after
noon, and an organization was
effected, with his assistance. These
clubs are becoming very popular in
America, and the rules and regula-
tions are such as to develop the
members into upright and manly
young gentlemen, with athletic pur-
suits. One attractive feature is a
camping expedition of two weeks
in the summer months, and the
boys are so enthused that a place
has already been selected for this
jaunt.
