BUFFALO

ly be the worlds greatest conflict is
disturbing the quiet of the great ma
tions of that continent, we are enjoy
ing peace and prosperity and our ma
tion is happy; none of the war spiris
or its effects is exhibited here only
beef steak" takes a leap occasionally
and our people can easily cut that
out. Peace and brotherly love pre-
walls in our quiet mill village.
The board of school trustees held
meeting last week and resulted in the
election of the following teachers:
Prof. Jas. H. Hope, of Union, the be-
loved principal, was reelected, also
Miss Ava S. Allen of Clova, and Miss
Annie l.. Green of Newberry, were
reelected. Those elected we're Mrs.
N. p. Wade of Seneca, and Mrs. j. c.
Swygert, Jr., of Peak, to fill the va
cancies caused by the resignation Of
Mrs. Nellie Riley Johnson and Miss
Jessie Whatley. Mrs. SwyEert was
enc Of the teachers here in the early
history of the school and proved to I've
a most efficient one, and it was with
much reluctance that the trustees ac-
cepted her resignation four years ago
to accept similar position at Little
Mountain, where she has taugh. COLI
tiuuously since then. 1t is a source
Of m''ch pleasure and satisfaction to
the ratrons and the public gcueiaLr
- know that she will again be added
TO the faculty. The fall session opens
lScprembcr Ia, and under the manage
merit of such an able corps of insrruc-
tors q most prosperous and successful
year is assured.

extended visit to her sister, Mrs. r. B.
Henry, of Lockhart.
Rev. w. F. Gault, pastor of the
Methodist church, returned Saturday
from Grover where he has been as
sisting in two weeks revival. He
reports crops in that section splendid,
and while meat, watermelons and
fried chicken were in abundance. He
regretted that pressing engagements
prevented him from accepting invita-
tions to go fishing as he is very fond
of the sport of pulling in the finny
tribe. He says he was told by some
of those good old Methodist brethren
that it was nothing unusual to catch
with a hook and line out of the Edisto
river, cat fish weighing from SO to 60
pounds. Now, we do not for one min
ute dougt the veracity of the good
brother, but that is what we call
"some cat fish," and we venture to
say, if that statement had been made
by a Presbyterion elder he would
have been branded as a double first
cousin to Ananias.
Miss Ionic May Humphries of
Cross Keys, is visiting her sister,
Mrs. A. D. Taylor on Auburn ave.
Miss Ava S. Allen of Clova, who
was one of the attractive and efficient
teachers in the Buffalo high school
the past year was welcome visitor
in town last week.
Buffalo needs another evangelistic
meeting, as we have people here who
never attend church or religious wor-
ship of any kind only when an evan
gelist comes or to hear the funeral
preached of some relative or loved
one. We have members of the church
living here who have never heard
their pastor preach sermon; ne is
actually stranger to some of his
flock, though they will tell you they
support the church and her institu-
tions, pays more to the pastors sal
ary than any other member with their
names on the church register, and not
even considered quorum makers or
bench warmers. They seem to thiEk
when life's battles are over, regard
less OF how they have lived or their
indifference to the church, with their
money they can march to the pearly
gares, knock and be admitted and Civ
en- reserved seat. A church with
such membership is in a sad plight
and is to be greatly deplored.
