On Tuesday, at IL M, the Provl-
dence Sunday school had some exer
cises by the school, under the man.
agement of the superintendent, DR..
r. ]. Hutchinson and his teachers,
consisting of dialogues, essays, songs,
etc. At the close, DR.. W. H. Fra
zier, pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church at Anderson, who was on
hand, by request, came forward and
delivered a very fine lecture. 1t
was as usual with everything that
the Doctor has to say, we'll delivered
and sunk deep into the hearts of the
people .
The young people, some at each
church last night, at the proper time,
IL o'clock, rang out the old year and
rang in the new, carrying out an
old time custom.
Miss Annie Lou Power and her
little niece, May Belle Power, came
up from their Augusta, Ga, home
last Friday, oath inst. and are still
here with friends.
Mr.. I. T. Williams, a particular
friend of the writer, of Spartanburg,
spent a few days at our home last
week.
Mr.. Allen Kyser, came down from
Anderson last Friday and spent a few
days at the home of the writer.
Miss Leila Moseley, of Anderson,
came down Friday and was also at
the home of the writer, for some
days.
Last Saturday (Christmas day.
the Smyrna Sunday school, under
the direction and guidance of Mrs.
R. H. Moseley, had an exhibition, a
Christmas tree, we'll laden with pre-
sents of various descriptions, all of
which were both pleasurable to re-
cipients, as well as donors. 1t has
been said that it is more p%leasurable
to give than receive, but the writer
has more or less, III of his life ques-
toned the truthfulness of this adage.
I freely admit that many times gifts
are not priced as the donors believe
that they will be. In above case it
is believed that all were made happy
and went home rejoicing. There
was such a down pour of rain during
the time of the tree that the attend
ance was made low. 1t is crafty
ing indeed to the writer to say that
it was one of the most quiet times
that he has ever passed through. If
there was any of the drinking of
whiskey, as there is a good deal of
some times, there was not see by
him one single one that was under
the influence of it, none of the loud
talking nor cursing nor profane Ian
guage used at such times. The lit
tie boys would once in a while (not
often) explode a fire cracker or
Roman candle, or something of the
sort. This their usual sport, for
several days and nights, was very
%noticeably lacking. Nobody was
hurt in sport or Intentionally.
Mr.. Jas. L. Ellis, of the Georgia
Military Academy, came over this
week and spent a day or two with his
home folks in this place.
Mr.. J. B. Kay, of the Medical Col
lege in Atlanta, came here and
spent a day or two with his relatives.
Mr.. j. Bruce Moseley, Of Blue
fields, Va, stopped over for a few
hours with his father, DR.. J. B.
Moscley and family, n day last
week.
Miss Cater Edwards, of Oxford,
Ga, after spending several weeks
with her cousin, Rev. Jas. A. Clot-
felter,. and family, returned to her
home this week.
Prof. Wendell Latimer, in charge
of a fine school at Ora, Laurens Co.,
spent a few days of his vacation here
with his step-father, DR.. T. D. Kirk
patrick and family.
