took bird-eye view of all these
battlefelds, but l don't want to see
them any more. During the -four
years of the war 1 was in ten big
battles and sight skirmishes, and
was wounded twice and captured
once, and was re-captured in two
hours.
The reunion at Richmond was,
to great degree, a success; but the
most of the generals, colonels and
majors of the South Carolina divis-
ion are the three months boys.

and maids of honor they had. And

other day if he was Confederate
soldier. Yes, was his answer. How
old were you when you entered the
service? Sixteen years old. How
long did you serve in the war? Un-
til the surrender, was the reply.
But tell me, how many years or
months did you do service as a sol
dier? Three months he said; but,

was never in a battle. Now call
him an honest, truthful'man.

sionary society was held in the

votional exercises conducted by
Rev. J.. r. Walker.
Mrs. j. A. Maybin of Columbia,

paign for new organizations brought
out the fact that there are ouly
1000 of the 10000 churches of
Southern Methodism organized,
leaving million women unenlisted

Mrs. Stackhouse herself was giving
it.

may do with our hands, heads and
hearts the work that lies right at
our door and how We may be the
means of transforming lives and
fitting them for large place of SER
vice in the fields already white un-
to the harvest" Open discussion
brought out many points concern

there are people that clotl,e them

Fifth. Factories built in Clarks-

hundreds Of men who are out Of

and other articles that are ordered
from other cities and people would
be given work. You people who
are patroniztng mail order houses
cannot expect to get employment In
different kinds OF. factories such as
clothing factories because the fac
tories are not here like where there
is q great demand for their pro-

she cannot order everything by phone

Why everybody should buy in
Clarksburg: ss .aAs
Ny dear citizens Of clarksburg:-
There has been given the asubject
why everybody should buy in
Clarksburg," and i Will trw to answer
this question with ten reasons.
First. Most people who reside in
Clarksburg make their money here
and so 1t looks reasonable for them
to spend it here instead OF ordering
from mail order houses, where goods
are very often unsatisfactory to the
purchaser. Money that o citizen
makes IN Clarksbarg is lost il it is
spent outside OF clarkshurgs and this
is going to maize the town dead In
stead Of building It iip to- an ideal
city. just think for a moment. nov;
| would you like to go out OF town
and buy your water and g;as aid
how about sending that weeks wash
| to- Chicago to be laundered? You
| Would not think OF ordering these
hut. still you will order articles OF
every description from mail order
housesZ It is the lack Of considera.
ltion. Yes. think SO. You do moi
stop to consider that Clarksburf
would. be Weather ifsmoHsy would
be Kept In the town. Isl
Second. Clarksburg is able tt
handle all the trade that the mai
order houses are getting from It
The goods from Clarksburg are a,
cheap In price aud as high. In valu,
A as can be bought from the mail ordel
houses, clarksburg has q number o
good stores where everything from
d spool OF thread to an automobil,
4 can be bought and are just as goo,
as from mail order houses, minus tn,
trouble of ordering and shipping
back damaged goods. .
