The best yield of wheat so far
reported to us this year is that from
the fields of w. NJ. Murphree, who
lives in the Wolf Stake section. From
a sowing Of four bushels he harvest
ed and threshed 90 bushels. Muir
phee is a good farmer. 1t will pay
many of the Oconee farmers to visit
him home and farm and see what he
is doing. He is using 1000 pounds
of a to every acre of his cotton
this year. We hope to be able to
give our readers some figures next
fall regarding his harvest.
Matthew Davis, who lives near
Seneca, came up Saturday to Wal
halla to register and get license for
his new Ford car which was recently
purchased from the Piedmont Auto
Company, Of Walhalla. This con-
ceiH is putting more cars on the
market than any other agency in this
part Of the State, and are unable to
keep cars ahead. Mr.. Davis was ac-
Companied by. his nephew, Cherry
Davis, who was operating the car for
him. Clerk Craig issued Mr.. Davis a
license as No. 1913 for Oconee.
There was a very good attend
ance at the union service at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
night, though the heavy showers of
the afternoon, and the probability of
more. kept many away. Rev. j. b..
umberger, Of the Lutheran church.
preached an excellent sermon, and
those who attended were well re-
paid. 1t is hoped these Union SER
vices, rotating among the different
churches. will bring out large num-
bcrs every Sunday night. 1t is the
desire OF the pastors to make them
a rallying of all the church-going
people.
We direct attention this week
to the page advertisement, OIL the
second page, Of Ruskin Anderson, of
Seneca, who announces the beginning
on tomorrow Of a m~id-season sale,
to last ten days. There will be a big
slaughter of prices. Be sure to call
on him early and get your share of
the bargains he is offering. Mr.. An
derson is too well known to need any
introduction at our hands. He is a
pioneer at the business of special
sales at low prices, and the public
is familiar with his large stock and
his methods of keeping goods NOV
ing from the counter to the user.
Call on him this week, or any day
week. The goods are going to
move. Read over the prices and
pick out the things you need. Such
prices Will never again be offered.
The body of Mrs. viii Fergu-
son, OF Anderson, was brought to
yesterday for interment at
Neville cemetery, west Of town. Mrs.
had been in poor health
for some time, suffering from an
case Of pellagra, and her
death was no. unexpected to those
who knew of her condition. She
was born in Walhalla about % years
being a daughter of the late
Oakley. Some ten or twelve
years ago she was married to Mr..
then a resident Of Wal
halla, and they later moved to An
derson, where the latter had been
for quite a while in the
service at the shops. Fune-
raj services were conducted Tuesday
at 4 o'clock by Rev. l.. NJ.
LYDIA. Mrs. Ferguson is survived by
her husband and five children, to
whom the sympathy Of many is ex-
ended.
An alarm Of fire vas given last
hight about 9.15 o'clock, and not a
title stir was created thereby,
.hOugh no damage was done by rea-
OF the blaze. Three young boys,
edwin Hughs, Robert Kay and d.
<. Chastain, in e~ndeavoring to draw
gasoline from q tank in the base
nent of Hughs's Market, became
BADLY frightened when the escaping
|apors from the stream Of gasoline
rom a spigot ignitcd, causing a
flare Of blaze, and they left
he spigot open, running for assist
lnce. 1t so happened that the Odd
we're in session in their hall
few doors away and members we're
lmong the first to rush to the scene.
There was also a meeting in progress
It the Baptist church., and the meet
ng was quickly and unceremoniously
