Death at Easley

The Easley correspondent of the
Greenville News says: Joseph N. Ram
pey, one of the Oldest citizens Of Eas-
ley, died at his home here Sunday morn
ing about $3.50 o'clock. He has been in
declining health for the past two years
and in rather critical condition for the
past two weeks so the end was not a
surprise to those who were acquainted
with the conditions.
MIR. Rampey is seventy three years
of age and is originally native of
Greenwood county. He came here
many years ago where he engaged in
the merchantile business until about 10
years ago, at which time he was forced
to abandon the profession on account of
feebleness. For number of years he
was an active member of the Methodist
church.
Before coming to Easley Mr.. Ram
pey was married to Miss Blythe, also
OF Greenwood, who survives him.
The funeral services were held at
Rehoboth church, Greenwood county,
Monday afternoon

The Home Dem
tion wv ork

The interest that the women
OF Pickens county are taking
in the improvement of their
homes, schools. churches and
communities shows that we are
indeed a progressive people. If
we can interest the mothers in
better schools and better social
conditions for their children we
will have done a great deal to-
ward solving some of the most
perplexing problems of country
life, for they can do more in this
work than anyone. And they
are becoming much more inter
ested than formerly.
Miss Mauldin, the home dem
onstration agent, has already
organized women's clubs at
Oolenoy and Peters Creek, also
at Georges Greek. There has
been a club at the latter place
for more than a wear, but it has
now become a demonstration
club. The school Improvement
associations at Zion, Flat Rock
and Mt. Tabor are to combine
their work with the demonstra-
ton work during the next
month.
The canning clubs will be of
great advantage to our girls and
young women. They will re-
ceiye much instructive and ben
eficial literature from the gov.
ernment. which will be fully ex-
planned by Miss Mauldin. Dem
strations will be given also. No
girl need hesitate to Join these
clubs on account of not knowinx
how to carry out the instruc-
tions.
Martin, Mile Creek, Pickens,
Flat Rock and Zion we're among
the schools at which canning
clubs were organized recently.
Flat Rock canning club will
have II members. This is the
largest number at any school so
far.

Feat and Wins.

Jefferson, Ia, Jan. 24.-Charles
Dobsine has a pair Of frozen feet and
an extra dollar as the result of
wager that he could walk barefoot
around the public square here with

could perform the feat.
Early evening was picked as the
time for the exploit, and the temper

Dobsine pulled off his shoes and
socks and started out Nravely. The
distance was four blocks, and by the
time he had negotiated it the man
was weak from pain but game to nm
ish the job.
He got the dollar, but his feet are
badly frostbitten. He is scarcely
able to walk as yet. The loser said he
had his moneys worth.
