Missionary Society. Com
mencement at North
Augusta.

How glad we were to- have such
splendid rain last Monday night
and Tuesday morning and every
thing is showing how much they
appreciate it. Again Saturday at
twilight we had splendid show er
which lasted just long enough to
gesssswet through while climbing
thelittle hill up to the house and
getting things in from the buggy.
Butthat was just what we needed
juss;at dark. 1t helped things es-
peciaily the gardens. We,are hoping
forfscme more soon.
There has been a lot planted and
worked this past week. Also grain
saved We hear those who had wheat
say it is fine this season. They are
truly fortunate. wish we had some.
EVERYTHING TO put on the table is SO
high, vegetables especially so. Cab
bage, three small heads without any
white for 10 cents. Tomatoes 90
cents Eper quart. Strawberries 10
cents per quart. We did not see any
peaches at the Greek stands and do
not see any going down for sale yet.
That is unusual for by this time MIR.
Joe Bunch usually has them plentl-
fully.
Thursday of last week was the
day the ladies of the w. M. S. met
with Mrs. Lawrence Stevens and
Miss Beatrice Stevens at their hos
pitable home and we we're royalty

beautifully and the next meeting Is
invited to Mrs. Julia Townes, June

of Miss Louise Moor's piece, which
was SO beautifully recited and SO
true to nature of most boys. Also
we can not pass without giving Miss
Beatrice Stevens and Misses Cooper
a word of praise and thanks for
their dialogue and the song with it
by Mrs. Myra Cato, Mrs. H. F.
Cooper and Mrs. T. L. Harley. The
dialogue entitled my money" and
song with it II gave my life for
thee was beautifully fitted in.
Really that could be called one of
our red letter days for the program
was so fine, and the attendance of
80 the largest we have ever had, the
welcome so genuine and refresh
ments so bounteous and delicious.
Don't we know our president will
regret her absence. We regretted
it and hope she may be with US
hereafter. Were so sorry we could
not get any one tc agree to meet
with the ladies at Horns Greek Sat
urday. Hope Miss Beatrice found
an opportunity of attending with
some one from Trenton as she went
home Thursday afternoon with her
sisters, Mrs. DorianiSwearingen and
Mrs. Roper Day who were at our
meeting. Miss Beatrice will visit
Trenton and Columbia for months
stay. We are sure good time is in
store for her. Miss Georgia Reese
is looking better since she has NOV
ed to the piny woods with MIR. John
Reese and is keeping house for him.
She is kept quite busy now as the
painters are at work on the house.
