O'NealI Street N. E. Church.

There will be preaching next Sun
day morning by the pastor. He is ex-
pected to return home from Green
wood some time between now and
Sunday. So let all the members take
notice and fill the church next Sunday
morning. Visitors are also invited.
Please let everybody remember the
recent changes in the appointments
at O'Neall and Mollohon. Preaching
at O'Neall twice every Sunday, except
second Sunday morning, and fourth
Sunday night, at which time preaching
will be at Mollohon, and every third
Sunday night union service at one OF
the three churches. The Sunday
schools on last Sunday morning looN-
ed very ercoura ging, the members be-
ing swelled about to the same Of last
summers record. So let the members
of the school take courage from this
and do more for the cause of the Lord
in the future than they have in the
past. The school has been off some
in attendance for the past few months,
but we believe this is due to the un-
favorable weather, and also a great
deal of sickness among the members,
so now the pretty spring time is draw
ing near, and we are glad, too, that
the sick ones are improving fast and
we are expecting them to be with us
soon again. So let US every one keep
in mind the words of our Lord: For
sake not the assembling yourselves
togther." Visitors are always vel
come to attend any and all of these
services.

WILL FURNISH THE SEED.
Commercial Bank Generously Offers
Seed Corn of Approved Variety in
Boys Corn Contest.

To Mr.. E. H. Aull, County Superint"n-
dent of Education and Chairman of
Boys Corn Club; To the Boys Corn
Club of Newberry County:
Since the organization of your club
we have felt a deep interest in your
efforts to increase the culture of corn
and the yield per acre in our county.
Your organized endeavor along this
lire can not he TOO highly commended
as a forward movement ultimately re-
sulting in more intensified and scion-
ffc system, which means progress,
development and independence on the
farm, very believe that the neglect
of this most important crop is this
primary cause of most of the financial
ills which beset us today. The guiding
and controlling principle on the farm,
in our opinion, should be determina-
ton to produce ample and Sufficient
food products. Then MAXI all tho cot
ton possible. If this plan is adhered
to, we will hear very little of the high
cost of living, little of grinding debt
poverty and woe, and still less of the
necessity of the Rock Hill plan, or
any other plan for the reduction OF
acreage in cotton. 1t would mean
more comfortable homes, a more abid-
ing interest in essentials necessary to
make life in the country entertaining,
profitable and happy such as good
roads, attractive churches, comfortable
and commodious schools; in other
words, a contented, highly educated
and dovout citizenship.
We have been casting about to do
our mite to encourage these condi-
tions. Some one has wisely said, ut
takes six SIS to produce corn, viz:
seed, soil, stand, stirring, season,
sense" We can furnish but one of
these-seed. Hence have concluded to
give each member of your club, who
will personally apply to us at the
bank, one peck on the ear of the best
improved Marlboro Prolific corn We
could buy, suited to our local condl-
tons. This variety was selected after
consulting Mr.. o. B. Martin, of Wash
ington, D. c., of the United States de-
partment of agriculture; Mr.. E. j.
Watson, commissioner of agriculture
of South Carolina; Mr.. E. McIver Will
hanson, of Darlington, organizer OF
the farmous Williamson plan; Mr.. A
G. Smith, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, and Mr.. S. NJ
Duncan, county demonstration agent
There are absolutely no strings tied
to this proposition, our chief aim be-
ing to encourage this noble band OF
bows, whom we confidently expect to
see the best and most prosperous far
mers of our county in few years; to
do something worth while, demonstrat-
ing the possibilities Of the soil OF New
berry county, and bringing prosper
ity and enlarged opportunities, not
only to yourselves but every interest
of the county.
We would strongly commend to the
! young men Of the county to ally them-
selves with the club Immediately as
there should be, at least, member
ship of fifty,

Death of Mrs. Mary Sligh.

Mrs. Mary Sigh died at the home OF
her son, Mf, C: McD. Sigh, at Ebe-
nezer, on Tuesday inorntng at about 9
o'clock, and was buried at Ebenezer
churchyard on Wednesday morning at
II o'clock, service by the Revs. D. P.
Boyd, J. N. Fridy and H. W. Whitaker.
Mrs. Sigh was know throughout the
county as Aunt Polly and was in
her 9Sth year, being the Oldest inhabl-
tant AS Aunt Polly was in good
health considering her very advanced
and remarkable age, and had enjoyed
good health all of her life, it can be
said of her that she died Of old age,
the machinery of life wearing itself
out. She had lived nearly all of her
life in the old homestead at Ebenezer
and was an old member Of Ebenezer
church, faithful and devoted. How her
death recalls the camp-meetings OF
the famous old camp-ground.
She was only once married. Her
husband, Jacob J. Sigh, died between
% and 80 years ago. Mrs. Sigh is sur
vived by three daughters and one son,
as follows: Mrs Mary u McGraw, OF
