Boy Badly Hurt

Harry, the twclvc-ycar-old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. B. ~. Nc
Daniel, was kicked and badly in
iured by a horse last Monday
morning. The little fellow was
drying the horses down into the
pasture and this horse being
gentle, thought nothing of walk
ing near the animal. The horse
for some reason began to kick
and the full force of blow from
both feet landed squarely on the
boys side. The attending ply
sician states that the extent of
the boys injuries cannot yet be
determined, but it is earnestly
hoped that nothing Of a serious
nature will develop. AT present
he is resting as well as could be
expected.

hope, but look upon high and be-
lieve Marcus is there and prepare

Around Peters Greek

Last Saturday and Sunday
were the days appointed for the
union meeting at Peters Creek
church, but on account of the
rains no meeting was held Sat-
urday. Sunday morning, how
eyer, the sun .shone out BRIGHT
and warm, which was an invi-
tation to the people to attend
divine worship, and 10y an early
hour they began to assemble and
continued to assemble until by
the noon hour the house was
more than twice full.
The first hour was given oyer
to the singers, and such inspir-
ing music as is seldom heard
was rendered by q large choir of
the best trained and most select
voices.
Then came dissertation of
the Sunday school lesson for the
day by Mr.. G.. e. Robinson,
which was followed by an offer.
ing for state missions and then
dinner
The ladies of the community
displayed their culinary art in no
meagrc way, for from one end
to the other of the long table an
abundance of good things to eat
was in evidence.
In the afternoon the church
was again filled and the walls of
the old house rang with music.
Capt. j. II. Taylor allowed the
singers a rest while he discussed
in his lucid, forceful way the du-
ties of church members as set
forth and exemplified in the
church covenant. Then the re-
mainder of the service was de-
voted to singing, and the people
were sorry when the hour came
to adjourn.
Quite surprise occurred on
the 25th ult. when Mr.. Hovey
Singleton and Miss Edna Foster
decided to Join their fortunes
and become husband and wife.
They appeared at the home Of
Rev. j. IL. Foster, armed with a
license, and made known their
wishes. In a very short time the
words were spoken which bound
them together for life. Mr.. Sin
gleton is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. E. Singleton and the bride is
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. &c.
Foster While their marriage
was surprise to their friends
yet they have been and are the
recipients Of many hearty con-
gratulations for their future hap
piness and prosperity.
The many friends Of Mr.. Silas
Robinson will be panied to learn
of his severe and critical illness.
He has been sick since last De.
cember, but it is hoped under the
sl1illful care Of DR.. Ponder he
will be restored to health.
The people of this community
are at last thoroughly awake to
the Importance of a good schooI.
They will meet with Superin-
tendent Hallum at Peters Creek
church Wednesday afternoon of
this week to locate a place for q
modern school building. Re-
Gently they voted eight mills to
supplement their school funds,
and are determined to forge
ahead and have good school.
Speaking Of schools, there is
one enthusiast on the subject,
man who is giving much time,
thought and money to reach the
ideal in rural school develop
ment, and that is DR.. Ponder of
Dacusville. 1t was largely thru
his efforts that they have one of
the best plants in the county,
and yet they have not attained
their fullest hopes and eXpccta-
tions. They still want more i'm
provement. better facilities, Ion
ger terms, more and better teach
ers, with an agricultural train
ing feature. 1t is hoped through
the indefatigible effort and .un-
tiring energy Of DR.. Ponder they
will reach their goal.
