Two Deaths

Mrs. Amanda Jameson Nc
Adams died Sunday, April IL,
at the home of her son, Tom. O.
} amesOn, near EasleY, and was
buried the day following her
death in the Jameson burying
ground: her pastor, Rev. d. w.
Hiott. conducting the services
at 2 o'clock. She was in her
9Oth year and had been a mem
Der of the Baptist church for
sixty years. Her maiden name
was Amanda Orr and she was
married twice. Her first hus-
band was Carroll Jameson and
two sons survive by this mar
riage, Tom 0 of this county
and John &. of the West. Her
second husband was Mr.. Nc
Adams and by him two sons
survive, George McAdams of
Texas and Mason B. McAdams
of Oklahoma. TO these and all
other relatives we extend sym
pathy.
AT 4.30 o'clock on the same
day of the above funeral, Rev.
d. w. Hiott held the funeral of
Mrs. r. @. Lollis, six miles be-
low Easley. She was 81 years
old and leaves a husband and
two children. 1t was a touch
ing scene to see Mrs. Turner,
mother Of the deceased, who is
in her eightieth year, weeping
over the grave Of her daughter.
The remains were carried to
Grove Station in Greenville
county and inferred in the Gar
rison burying ground Tuesday.

Missionary Rally at Easley

Easley First Baptist church was the
scene of a missionary rally on Monday
night last. The speakers were Rev. c.
S. Blackburn of Greer and Rev. Ed
ward S. Reeves of Honea Path. A
good number were present to listen to
their stirring addresses.
Mr.. Blackburn spoke first on the "Call
of the World" outlining present world
conditions and showing that all the
world is sending ringing call for the
gospel of Christ. The heather world is
turning to intellectual pursuits and the
educational centers today are ST Peters
burg, Tokyo, Buenos Aires and CAL
cutta. The world is in the melting pot
and now, while in molten state, is the
time to press forward and make the
lasting impress upon these peoples of
the spirit of Christ.
Mr.. Reeves followed him, speaking
enthusiastically of our "Home Mission
Task" He cited the various fields and
needs of the home work; the mountain
schools, the negroes, the 100000 In
dians, the oncoming millions of immi-
grants, and the churches inefficient for
lack of funds to build home. He said
if our hundred million people today were
imbued with the spirit of our Lord the
evangelization Of the world would be an
easy task. But only about 81 per cent
of our great Southland population is
enrolled in the Army of the Cross. His
plea was that, if there must be re-
trenchment this year, it should not be-
gin at the House of the Lord. There
must be a broader idea of stewardship.
Men must know that all they have is
Lords and He has entrusted it to their
keeping. If they are to be the big
Christians everything must be used for
the glory of God. That means larger
giving.
The meeting closed with song by
Mr.. Blackburn.

Pastor Murphree Pounded

Mr.. Editor: Kindly give mel
space in your valuable paper to
publicly thank the good people
of Six Mile and others for the
grand birthday dinner and
pounding given me on April l,
when between forty and fifty of
my good brethren and sisters
came in and took possession of
both my home and mine and
spread in my front yard one of
the grandest dinners you ever
saw. Mr.. Editor, you Just ought
to have been here. After the
inner man was thoroughly sat
isfied all assembled in the back
yard and had some talks from
the brethren, who congratulated
me on passing the 47th milepost
in the journey of life. May God
bless the good people for this
token Of their love and make me
more worthy to serve them in
the days to come than in the
past. B. f. MURpllREE.

Farmers Busy on Route Three

Mr.. Editor: We decided to
write you a few dots this morn

Gently transpired up in this quiet
corner of the woods.
"Gee-haw" is heard in every
direction and corn planting is
going right along. No cotton
seed has been planted around
here as we know of, but will
begin in the next few DAYS. [
believe there has been more work
done since the close Of the bad
weather than have ever known
and on more systematic plan.
Most all the fields are looking
nice and fertile, Grain that was
sown last fall is beginning to
revive and change its appear
ance after the rough winter and
almost incessant rains which
seriously leached the soil.
This is a lovely morning after
the little shower and gale yes

ter will soon cease to longer lin
ger in the lap Of Miss Spring, as
every indication points in that
direction. We hear the shrill
notes of the whipporwill in the
forest and the crackle Of the wild
goose on his spring Journey to
the great lakes for the summer.

6-Mile Academy Commencement

The fifth session of the Six
Mile Baptist academy is near to
a close. Just one more week of
real work and then commence
ment begins April 20.
This year the school will have
five graduates, two bright young
ladies and three bright young
men.
The school is in the best spirit
throughout the student body and
every effort is being put forth
by student and faculty towards
making this the best and most
interesting program that we
have yet had.
The first play is probably the
most humorous, and if you want
to forget your troubles and hard
times come Tuesday night. In
spite Of hard times the school
has fourished. A small admis-
sion fee will be charged to cover
the expense. Everybody should
come the first night. The rest
of the program will be free and
everybody is cordially invited.
AS the end Of the session is
near at hand we all regret hav-
ing to part from our teachers
and friends, as we have become
so devoted to them, especially
Prof. S. e. Garner, under whose
care and leadership we have
been made to feel like a child at
home, and [ am sure that every
one who comes under him in the
future sessions will be made to
feel the kind and loving Chris
tian spirit possessed by him and
his wife.
NV heart yearns to see these
dormitories filled with boys and
girls in order that they may be
prepared to help bring the King
dom of God to pass in the hearts
of men. There is no better
place for boys and girls than in
a Christian school.
Following is the program:
April 20, 8 p. m. Play, Min

Letter From Texas

The Pickens Sentinel Most
of the farmers have their corn
planted. but it stays so cold it is
not doing any good. There is a
large acreage of small grain and
it is looking fine. The prospects
for biscuit another year look
good now. Our grain crop was
fine last year, you could see
farmers with their wagons load
ed with wheat going to mill,
made one think OF old times.
The cotton acreage is cut about
one half here this year; they are
planting wheat, oats, corn,
kafir corn, maize and spanish
peanuts. The peanut is getting
to be a great thing with us here;
we raise them to fatten ourhogs
on. There was several cars of
hogs shipped from here this
year that was fattened on them,
and everything on the place
will eat them down to the cat
and dog. We will not have
more than a half crop of fruit
IL q year as our winter didn't
bysin till March. 1t has been
colder this month than any
time in January or February.
AS | started to tell you awhile
ago some planted their corn and
had to plant over.
