GRAIN INJURED

Word has been received here that
much of the growing grain in the hill
country east of Oroville has been ex-
tensiyely damaged by hot weather, and
the Weld will fall far short of what
was anticipated a few weeks ago. Up
to the beginning of the torrid weather
that has prevailed since the first OF
the month the prospects for bounti-
full harvest were never brighter. A
few days of scorching sunshine and
withering winds has changed that
prospect. Still the rains of this week
may have come in time to in measure
counteract the damage done by the
heat. and in the end the loss may not
be as great as is now apprehended.
Between the occasional excessive heat
and the early winters, which makes
full harvest very uncertain, the hill
neople will have to change the system
from a single crop to diversified farm
ing. stock and dairying in order to
insure success Oh Tic Ldl liz DSPSAAN
ency from year to year upon a single
crop does not insure adequate returns
for the labor employed, as experience
has demonstrated, and the sooner
change of method is introduced the
better it will be.
The baby girl of Mrs. Oroville kei-
logg, of Tonasket, was brought to the
Oroyille hospital one day last week
The child had been afflicted with pneu-
monia and whooping cough, and Its
condition was such that an operation
was decided as necessary. DR.. Lewis
assisted by DR.. Clough, of Tonasket
who accompanied the child to the hos
pital from Tonasket, performed the
operation, and so ounces of puss were
taken from the little ones chest. The
baby today is almost entirely recov'
cred.

represent the western division, and
Mrs. A. L. Barker, Mrs. Fannie
Tompkins, Mrs. B. B. Jones and
Miss Miriam Norris will 60 as a
delegate from the local societies.
A very encouraging report was
made by the treasurer, Mrs. j. w.
Feak, who said that the full ap'
portionment of s552.00 had been
raised and forwarded to the vari-
Gus purposes for which they were
contributed.
The most entertaining feature Of
the program was a talk on the Holy
Land by Mrs. Mamie Tillman which
was of great interest to all present,
and the more, because it has been
visited and the experience related
to us by one of our mission society.
Arrangements for the concert and
flower show were also discussed:

D. A. R. Meeting.

---pbesceaasry -tssE5.lIescfe4i irs~ts!!S II's.s:
Gle Hill was the scene Of very
pleasant gathering on Tuesday af-
ternoon, the occasion being the
monthly meeting of the Old SO
District Chapter.
Mrs. Hill lives about four miles
from Edgefeld, and The drive vas
greatly enjoyed, especially by those
who had such pleasant companion
ship as the writer. The wild flowers
on this road from Edge6eld are un-
usually pretty at this season.
There were about fifteen in at
tendance, and in the absence of the
Regent, Miss Sarah Collett upon
request, took charge of the meeting.
A committee to arrange for CON
tribution to the Red Cross was ap-
pointed, consisting of Mrs. j. l..
Minis, Mrs. J. w. Peak and Mrs.
Maggie Hill. Letters were read
from Mrs. Woodson and others, and
the announcement was made that
the Regent would attend the state
D. A. r.. convention in Rock Hill.
The historical program had been
arranged by Miss Collett and was
carried out in thesreading of sketch
es of three partisan generals, the
first, Gen. Sumter, most pleasantly
treated by Miss GLADYS Chappell;
the second, Gen. Andrew Pickens,
by Mrs. J. w. Peak, and the third
Gen. Francis Marion by Mrs. D. B.
Hollingsworth. All these were very
instructive and well prepared.
At the close of the historical pro-
gram, very elaborate salad course
with coffee was served in the ante
bellum style. One Of the mattresses
who served was one of the old
school, and curtsied to each person
as she handed the abundant re,
freshments. This was an unusual
sight for the present day, and made
us both pleased and saddened that
but few of these courteous relics of
antiquity still remain to reflect hon
or upon the past of their race. We
almost felt as if we had been trans
ferred to the day of our revolution
ary ancestry and these fathers of
our country would appear before us
in flesh and blood. The chapter is
greatly indebted to Mrs. Hill for
this delightful afternoon.
The next meeting will be held IN
November and will be entertained
with Miss Ina Hill.

DR.. A. w. Lamar in Edgefieid.

Sunday was a good day with the
Baptists in Edgelield. DR.. Lamar
of College Park, Georgia, came over
on Saturday, and filled the Baptist
pulpit Sunday morning, talking at
the Sunday school and paeachlng:
for the union service at the Presby-
ran church Sunday evening. AT
all these services, large crowds
greeted him, and listened to his elo-
quent discourses with rapt attention.
The union service was perhaps the
largest ever held.
DR.. Lamar, as a boy, lived in
Edgetield for several years, residing
in the home of Chancellor Ward
law, who lived at the present Rains
ford residence, and attended the
school of Mrs. McClintock, at the
home now occupied by Mrs. Car
vile. He visited these places with
great interest. 1t has been thirty,
four years since he was last in
Edgetield. He was pastor and one
Of the most active workers in the
early history of the Johnston church.
and went from Edgefeld to John
ston for a service. DR.. Lamar has
preached and lectured in almost
every State in the union, but still
has an abiding affection for Edge
field, even after these many years

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR SHOPS
OF CITY ARE HEARD Ev.
cry DAY.
The ASSIGNMENTS ARE VARIED
Makes the Very Strongest Reason
Why the People Of This Vicinity
Should Keep Their Money at Home
and Help Local Industry.

A matter of much favorable COM
ment even in these days of war and
depression and the irrepresible politi-
clan are the magnificent stocks of mer-
chandise which are being carried by
the merchants of Columbia. 1t is al
most an every day occurrence to hear
some discriminating buyer declare
that he has never known finer line
OF goods than are displayed this fall
And they are displayed, too. Only
in the very recent past have the mer.
chants of Columbia appreciated the
value of displaying their goods In the
windows. But several of them have
mastered the art now to an excep.
tional degree. The display windows
Of this city will compare very favor
ably with those of cities several
times as large. Then the merchants
here just naturally have the goods to
display. More and more they are
carrying a larger and more varied
and attractive line of goods. HI
The Christmas stocks have even
commenced to arrive and it is safe
to say that this holiday season will
witness In Columbia the finest dis
play of goods appropriate for that
glad time of the year that have ever
been seen in the county.
All of this is simply additional rea-
son why the people Of this city and
county should trade at home. They
can have right here the very best
stocks that can be found anywhere
and no one will claim that goods can
be found any cheaper in any place in
Tennessee than they can be bought
In Columbia. The Columbia mer-
chants not only carry splendid and
varied assortments but they make
prices exceedingly difficult to dupli-
cate anywhere.
