The fourth Sunday in May is
always a big" day at Salem
church, in Oconee near the Pick
ems line, but the crowd there
last Sunday was comparatively
small, owing to an epidemic OF
measles in the Salem section.
Forest fires during the past
week have caused much dam
age in the northern part of the
county. Probably the heaviest
losers are Mrs. Boggs and the
Carolina Timber Co. People
should be very careful not to
set anything on fire in woods.
Quinton, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Porter, who has been serl-

been in attendance upon Quin-
ton, is now nursing Mrs. Bette
Hendricks, who is quiet sick.

ceiving slight scratches and
bruises. Jumping up, Hovey
outran the mule, which had
broken loose from the buggy,
and caught it. DR.. Valley was
