MILLS RIVER RIPPLES.

Rev. Mr.. Montgomery, of Alabama,
who has been attending the Presbyte-
r1an Theological Seminary at Column
b1a preached the fourth Sunday in
April at the Presbyterian church. He
also preached last Sunday to a good
attendance of the church and COM
munity. He will serve as supply in
the absence of Rev. Mr.. Davis, who
left this community last fall
J. Rev. r. F. Honeycutt preached an
interesting sermon the first Sunday
to the children at the Methodist
church.
Quite a good deal of sickness is re-
ported in the community. 1t is sup.
posed that much of such sickness was
spread from the overcrowded school
room at the night session of the en-
tertainment. Too many of our schools
are poorly ventilated and the money
spent for doctor bills would more
than cover the expenses required to
put them in proper condition for large
crowds to have fresh air.
Mrs. R. r. H~oneycutt has been very
Ill for two weeks.
Mr.. Lee Britain is just recovering
from a siege of pneumonia.
Mr.. j. H. Stepp has been very i'll
for three weeks but is improving now.
Mrs. Josephine Burgin is very low
with lagrippe. She is teacher Of a
Sunday school class at the Presby-
terrain church and her absence is very
much felt.
Mrs. c. S. Corpening is reported to
be just recovering from several

S. Corpening has had to be away from
his government work on account Of
this sickness in his family.
Mr.. John Clement has just returned
from a two weeks stay at the hospital
at Asheville, where he underwent an
operation.
Miss May Osborne and her sister.
Hilda, went to Asheville Saturday.
Hilda had to stop school on account
of trouble with her eyes and this &C
counts for her visiting an optician.
Miss Teresa Burgin has gone to

an important part of the work being
the oiling of the floors. They also
discussed plans of interesting the
people in taking their children to the
county commencement.
Mr.. w. H. Whiteside has been con-
Quoting some very interesting singing
lessons in the school budding. He
has worked up a glee club which will
add much enjoyment to entertainment
work and mean much toward higher
grounds.
The boys of the school and some
not in the are organizing a boy scout
patrol. This is something new t.
country boys but will prove beneficial.
They expect to give. an entertainment
in two or three weeks to purchase
pennants and other material to be
used in the county commencement
parade. Watch for the date of the
entertainment and come to help out
the boys.
The girls Of the graduating class of
the high school are preparing work
for their evening of commencement.
1t is hoped that. this program will in

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-Definite
announcement that the trans-PacifiC
service of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company would cease November 2
next, thus Withdrawing from foreign
trade the largest American fleet en-
gagged in such commerce, is made by
A. J. Frey, assistant to the general
manager.
The terms of the LaFollette sea-
mems law, which goes into effect No
vember 4, would force the company
to operate at loss, according to as
sertions by officials.
| The clause compelling the company
to hire crews, 10 per cent OF whom,
in each department, must be able to
understand any order given by the
officers in the native tongue, would
eliminate the Chinese crews and so
increase the operating costs that the
company could not meet the cOmpeti-
ton of the Japanese, they declared.
! Five liners will be withdrawn from

ing the support of the people.

feeling that Great Britain has made
serious errors in the past but she is
determined to profit by them in the
future. The newspapers echoed
this sentiment.
With practical unanimity they
frankly discussed the empires great
danger ana declared that only SUI
preme united sacrificial effort can
save the empire from disaster, but
the tone of the editorials was hopeful
for the future.

on the first fill west of Abba a few
minutes after No. 8 had passed over

engineers attention and he brought
his train to a standstill near John
