Letter from GlenwOOd

Since our last letter there has
been snow and sleet, and the
finest Easter day that we have
enjoyed in many years, which
caused the people to smile, es-
pecially the younger folks.
Saturday afternoon several of
the Sunday school classes had
an Easter egg hunt. Among
the most notable was Glass No.
8 of the Glenwood Baptist Sun
day school, taught by Mr.. D. B.
Cobb, who arranged Saturday
afternoon for them to 20 to the
Saluda dam and have the egg
hunt. Messrs. j :. j. Sims, Clate
Rice and William Elliott were
invited and attended. There
were 81 members of this class
present, SO 81 eggs were hid and
81 found. Dewey stansel was
given a fine pocket knife as a
prize for having found the most
eggs. Halbert Edens, Jerry
Smith and Frank Robinson hid
the eggs. After the eggs were
found they arranged for q fish
pond, using 81 sweet crackers
Zone for each schoIar). Six of
these crackers had q nickel in
them. So, much enthusiasm
was manifested, because they
could not eat the crackers until
the table had been spread, as
each one carried a lunch for this
occasion.
After the table was prepared
Mr.. Cobb returned thanks to
God for these blessings, and then
they went after the nickels.
The boys spent part Of their time
playing in the sandbanks. They
then visited the power house.
About this time orders were
given to meet the wagons, so all
obeyed and returned home as
happy a band as the writer ever
rememb, rs seeing.
1t required three two-horse
wagons and and one buggy to
accommodate them. They ar
ranged themselves in front of

photos made. We are glad to
say the interest did not cease
with the return home. When
Sunday school opened Sunday
morning Glass No. 8 reported 81
present. Contribution 81. These
are junior boys, too. Just think
what honest efforts will do! This
class was organized by Mr.. Cobb
some Ii months ago, having
no one but himself to begin with.
Today it is the largest class of
junior boys L know Of. Why
don't others get busy!
Mr.. j. D. FAINT will preach for
US Saturday night, April II.
Everybody is invited to attend.
Mr.. FAINT is a railroad man and
can interest all. S.Y.B.

"B" And The Liquor Question

Now and then one can see the
sign of strong drink if the BOYS
are allowed only one gallon a
month. Some who are lovers of
the feast say they don't care
for the law for thev can order
two gallons in a one gallon Jug,
meaning that they can order
one gallon Of alcohol and make
two Of head BURST
The change in the lawfs very
good and will decrease drunken.
ness to some extent, but more
restriction could have been
thrown around the cursed stuff.
Every person who wanted
whiskey and was compelled to
have it, as some claim, let them
be required to furnish certifi-
cate from a practicing physician
setting forth exactly for what
purpose the whiskey was to be
used for and let that physician
issue no certificate unless the
whiskey was for a medical pur-
pose and require the applicant
to make oath to that effect be-
fore some officer duly authorized
to take oaths. Then haye that
certificate filed with the clerk Of
court and a duplicate attached
to the Jug when it come. Any
shipment MT bearing this Ger
taiticate max f it misdemeanor
for the expA Asssngent to deliver
it to the cOnSignee and let it be
liable to confiscation. Then if
the consignee of such package
is caught drunk take him up
try him and imprison him on
the chaingang 30 days without
any alternate. Then it will not
! be long till you will see a change.
We hope this communication
will not meet the same fate that
our last two articles met-the
waste, basket. If it does we
will decide we are not wanted
and will ring off. b.

Registered Stock at OOlenOy

Baron Spottswood' is the
name of the large registered
Berkshire hog that has recently
been purchased by w. e. Edens.
Jr., an enterprising citizen of
OolenoY. This animal takes
the place of the one which was
unfortunately killed a few weeks
ago. The introduction Of thor
ougbred stock in any community
is considered by all thinking peo-
pie as one of the first steps to-
ward progress not only Of the in
diyidual but Of the community
as well. 1t means more interest
in stock breeding. 1t also means
q diversion from the old rut OF
the farmer who raises nothing
save cotton for the market.

The father, son and brother
Werenumbered with the slain
The wounded men were crying
For help from everywhere,
While others that were dying
WereprayingGod their prayer
Protect my wife and children,
If it be thy holy will"
Such We're the prayers heard
All over Shiloh's hill.
SO early the next morning
We were!called to arms again,
Unminded of the wounded,
UnmindfuI of the slain.
The battle was renewed
And ten thousand more were
slain;,
That was the second battle
That was fought on Shiloh's
plain.
Before the day was ended
The battle ceased to bore
Ten thousand of good soldiers
That fell to rise no more.
They have left their vacant
ranks
For other ones to fill,
And now their molding bodies
All lay on Shlloh's hill.
And now my song is ended
About this bloody plain;
hone the sight by mortal man
Will ne'er be seen again.

Come, all ye valiant soldiers,
A story l will tell !
About q, noted battle
You will remember well.
Chorus:--
Sing carry me away,
On, carry me away.
1T was an awful strife
And will cause your blood to
Chill;
1t was an awful battle
That was fought on Shiloh's
hill.
1t was the sixth of April,
About the break of day;
The drums and flies were play
ing
For us to march away.
The horrors of that hour
| do remember still
When first my feet were tread
The top Of Shiloh's hill.
About the hour of sunrise
The battle it began;
Before the day was ended
Wefought from hand to hand
The horrors of that hour
Did my heart with anguish fill
10 see the dead and wounded
That lay on Shiloh's hill.
There were men from every ma
ton
That lay on that bloody plain;

PINEAPPLE GROWS IN COLUMBIA
Miss Frances Sanders Has Unique
Plant In Her Yard.

Miss Frances Sanders of 70i Mary
land place claims to be the only per-
son in Columbia-and probably in
Missouri who has a. pineapple in her
yard, growing beside the fiower-beds.
Some time last summer. Miss San
ders was encouraged by a friend to
plant a pineapple. but she said: "No,
pineapples do not grow in this coun-
try. and | have no seed to plant.
When she was told that it was not the
seed that is planted, but the crown,
she Immediately went to experiment
ing upon the suggestion.
Now the plant is growing, and she
says she will transplant it to a tub
and keep it in the house during the
winter In less than a year the pine
apple should produce fruit

MARK THE OLD TRAILS ROAD.

The proposition which the National
Old Trails Association submitted to the
Boone County Court about a month
ago for putting markers on the Old
Trails Road in this county would cost
1920. The markers would be put ct
every cross road, on an average of at
least one post mile.
F. A. Davis, secretary of the Ma
tional Trails Association, said that ev-
cry county from Los Angeles to Boone
County had put up markers. He also
said that travel along the road had in
creased 40 per cent since the markers
were put up.
The amount that the markers cost
would do little good if spent on the
roads. II would build perhaps a quar-
ter of d mile OF rock road and keep
two or three miles in repair a year.
When travel is increased means viii
be found to keep the road in shape.
even without the cost of the markers.
There is a standing complaint about
the part of the National Old Trails at
the border of Boone County. There is
a tendency for tourists to go around
this part of the road. There are few
places between here and the Pacific
Coast that need the markers more
than that.
The stone markers that the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution put
up along the road two years ago are
not suitable marks for the road OF
course. they are beautiful and appro-
priat4y placed at historic points, bat
they cannot be read from a moving au
tomobile. Appearances count for
something, and Boone County should
not be the first to break from a nation
wide movement
