this week at Six Mile Baptist
Academy. It has been a very
successful term here this year
and is hoped that it will con-
tinue to be a fine school. We

days holiday. There is a good
number in school here this
year, but we have room for
more yet. The last session Vi
this year will start up with
several more students with US,
if those who are planning to
come get in. The boys and
girls are getting advantage of
literary society, B. Y. P. u,
and other things that are es-
pecially helpful in every day
life. That is one of the great
needs of today. We need more
leaders, and better leaders
men and women who will do
the right, and stand up boldly
and fight for the right. The

Christmas Again

How short the year has seem
ed, and shorter and shorter still
they will appear to many who
have reached the hilltop of life
and are going down the other
side. When we were children
the years dragged slowly by and
it was such a long wait from
one Chr stmas to another when
Old Santa should come to fill
the stockings. And this is the
way it appears to the children
of today, and will go on so
Though ages yet to come.
AS we approach another
Christmas it would be we'll for
the young and old to reflect a
little and try to unravel its pur
port and meaning so as to get a
proper conception of its obser-
vance. Some possibly may not
agree with the wliter that it
should not be a festive occasion
in the strict meaning Of that
word, i. e., of hilarious revelry,
as many now make it. The
custom of making this day one
of frolic, carousal and frivolous
pastimes and umusements is all
wrong. People who indulge in
these things should refrain from
them at least on this day and
observe it as a sacred, holy day.
We should celebrate it certainly,
but in the same spirit as the
heavenly choir when they
heralded to all the world, Peace
on earth, good will to men. :"
1t should be a day Of JOY and
rejoicing because it commemo=
rates the advent Of the Prince
of Peace - We should celebrate

The public meeting of the

it with gifts of love to God, to
the poor, to friends and loved
ones. In such gifts we proclaim
the best gift to men-Jesus
Christ-''For God so loved the
world that he gave his only be-
gotten son.
More than in any past age
we of today have greater reason
to celebrate this day because we
are nearer the time for the sec
ond advent of our Lord.
The natural response to this
great gift of God to Ian, is for
US to make gifts Of love to
others. Giving is a right ex-
preston of this spirit. Often it
is imperfect, often too narrow.
Yet there is no more approximate
way to celebrate the day.
All can give. No one is SO
poor. so unworthy, SO feeble, SO
frail, so lonely, but what he OF
she can give something to ex-
press Gods good will to men.
Deeds Of kindness. expressions
of sympathy, words of love and
cheer and hope and courage.
Give in time, in strength, in
means. at home and abroad and
everywhere.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not is not living,
The more we give the more we
live"
When we celebrate the day
in this spirit then truly We can
join in the gloria in excelsis of
the angels of GLORY to God in
the highest, on earth peace,
good will toward men,
Xmas.

The garden of M. G. Smith,
cashier of the Keowee Bank
contains some very fine and
large turnips. He had one on
exhibition at the bank which
weighed four pounds. It was
of the purple top variety. Mr..
Smith says he also has a fine
home-raised hog to cook with
his turnips. Our farmers should
follow his example and raise
more foodstuff of their own.

E. H. Barton Dead---Lecture at
School House---Mission-
ary Societies Meet

Mr.. E. H. Barton, one of Eas-
ley's oldest citizens died after a
lingering illness last Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Barton was 50
years old last July. His wife
preceded him to the grave only
a few months. Four children
survive them. Mr.. James g..
Barton, of Anderson; Mrs.
Mamie McMahan, Miss Emma
Gunter, and Miss Nettie Barton,
of Easley. The bereaved fam
lily have the sympathy of the
community. The funeral ser
vices were held at his residence
on the corner of Hudson and
College streets Tuesday after
noon being conducted by his
pastor, Rev. E. V. Babb, assist
ed by Rev. .. W. Hiott.
A small number of people
assembled in the auditorium on
the 18th instant, to hear an ad-
dress delivered by Col. V. M.
Flen ing, of Greenville, on the
5Oth anniversary of the battle
of Fredericksburg. Mr.. Flem-
ing was in the battle and had a
brother killed in the battle.
There were present four other
veterans who were in the battle
viz: J. W. White, W. F. Davis,
Laban Mauldin and T. J. Bow
en-. Other old veterans were
present who enjoyed the ad-
dress Of Mr.. Fleming. The q.
D. e. were present and furnish
ed music for the occasion with
Miss Fay Sellers at the piano.
Every old veteran ought to be
pensioned by the State. When
the call came for them to go to
the front, they volunteered, left
home and loved ones and made
bare their bodies to the the mis-
sells of the enemy for four long
years. When the war clouds
lifted and peace was declared,
these battle-scarred soldiers re-
tlrned home to find wreck and
ruin. With indomnitable ener-
gy they went to work, and out
of chaos and deformity, they
have brought order and beauty.
God bless our veterans and may
their last days be their best.
The u. D. G.. are to be congratu-
lated on the success Of the work
already done, and to be encour-
aged to still greater achieve
ments. May their work con-
tinue until in every school

be taught. and our children

is not the case. Since he took

Some recent occurrances in
our little city caused the church
people to take notice. A meet
ing of a number of the parents
and other members Of the Bap-
tist and Methodist congrega-
tions Of the town was held at
the Baptist church last Sunday
afternoon for the purpose of
considering certain social
evils.
1t developed in the talks at
this meeting that one of the
things which was giving the
church people much concern
was the young peopl, dancing.
It further developed that some
of these were members of the
church and others who were in
position to set what the congre-
cations thought better exam
pies and influence the younger
people to a higher life. The
meeting passed resolution call
ing upon those who are church
members and who are in posi-
ton to exert a better influence
to refrai from such things for
the good Of society and the
churches.
Other things were considered
and discussed and the following
