ate program was carried out at New
Prospect school on Monday last In
honor OF the 107th birthday of Gen.
r. ID. Lee.
Veteran Jno. R. Finley was the
Speaker Of the occasion and the
thanks Of the school, the teachers and
the officers Of s. I. A. are given him
for his interesting speech. Though he
was crippled up by having had his
Knee pierced by thorn few days
before, he however, came and re-
sponded to his number on the pro-
gram--an eulogy on his old and loved
commander, Lee. He closed his
Bpeech by quoting the matchiess words
OF Ben Hill on the leader OF the Con-
federacy. Altogether the afternoon
was pleasantly and profitably spent by
the scholars, teachers and some Of the
patrons Of the school. Our next event
of local interest will be the 18th Of
February, when the Clemson contin-
gent Will arrive to tell the pupils and
the fathers and mothers how to raise
bigger and better crops in this meek
OF the woods"
Miss Ora Powers, our champion to-
mato grower, will leave today for a
trip to Winthrop. She will be accom-
panied by another winner, Miss Mar
garet Dunlap Of Laurens, whose piece
in O recent issue of "The State" was
greatly enjoyed. We trust that the
two may have a profitable as we'll as
pleasant trip to Winthrop.
Owing to the inclement weather on
Saturday afternoon there was no SER
vices at New Prospect-the first time
such thing has happened In a num-
ber Of years. There was however, the
usual services on Sunday morning by
the pastor. A very helpful discourse
beginning Of the new year, the though
he would have us carry with us during
the days ahead of us, is that we have
the God Of Moses with us and that the
close OF the year we should have gain
ed higher plane in religious life
and when the life is over we should
feel as did Moses when he ascended
Mt Nebo that the Everlasting Arms"
are meath u.s."
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Milan Of the Holly
Grove section, Mr.. and Mrs. Reps Os-
borne OF Hickory Tavern and Mr.. A.
r. Holmes, OF Lisbon, were among
those who worshipped with us Sunday.
Misses Genie Aiken and Julia Gun
ningham spent the weekend with the
family of Mr.. Arthur Workman, near
Cross Hill.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Moore we're
visitors of their brother, Mr.. Thad
Moore Sunday, as was also Mr.. Jim
Moore, the genial groceryman OF the
Dial Co.
The star of accidents was in the
assembly near Cold Point last week.
Thursday, Mr.. Jones G. Nelson was
painfully injured by having heavy
switch tie fall on his leg. Friday, lit
tie Frank James, whose father Is en-
ployed in the stone quarry at Cold
Point fell off Of a high porch on the
Wheeler store and broke both his
arms. The little fellow is an exceed
ingly bright little fellow and he
showed the courage Of hero in his
sufferings. 1t would be a kindly act
IL some little boys or girls who are
blessed with lot of this worlds goods
would send the little fellow some
toys to amuse him during the days
Of suffering that are ahead OF him.
While my mind Is in Cold Point and
her estimable people, I wish to state
that Mr.. J. A. Wofford was called into
a hospitalble home there few days
ago, where there Is only father and
son-widower and bachelor and treat
ed to huge slice Of pound cake and
as much persimmon beer as one could
want. Ye girls and old maids, this is
gentle hint to you. No mere man
ought to be allowed to enjoy such lux
uries as 'Stmmum beer and iced pound
cake by his lone self, so, though 1t Is
not leap year get busy!
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Clinkscales and
little son, Eward, are stopping at the
hospitable home of neighbor J. H.
Power, until their cottage just across
from the Dean homo Is ready for occu-
pancy. 1t is hoped that our hea1thful
climate may restore Mr.. Clinkscales
to robust health again.
