JEAN FOWLER, READER
Second Entertainment in Mission Cir
 cIe Course.

Next week Friday night comes the second feature of the Pilgrim church lecture course; Jean Fowler, imper- senator.
 Miss Fowler will give Booth Tark- ington's Turmoil.
 It has been said of her that anyone who has read the Turmoil, by Booth Harrington, a vivid, gripping novel of modern American life, will acknow- ledge its virility its realism, its true characterization of that famous smoky city, Pittsburgh; and in the same breath you will acknowledge that to present it from the public platform re- quires rare technique, experience and a knowledge of people and conditions extant in and about the scene of the story.
 "This is not review of the book: it is presentation of Miss Jean Fowler, reader, a native of Pittsburgh, and an exponent of some of the foremost teach CTS in the country.
 ''At this time Miss Fowler is the only reader, to our knowledge, who has the courage, the ambition and proper training to read this most interesting and difficult depicting of Americans and great American city in the making.
 "kecause of her marvellous ability as an impersonator, she is able to mas. terfully present characterizations which few women readers have ever attempt. ed."
 Reserved seat tickets can be had at F. R. Collins store Monday morning, December at s:30 o'clock.

AT CHRIST CHURCH.

The subject of the Harvest sermon preached by the Rev. 4. B. Crichton at Christ Church last Sunday evening was "The Dual Harvest" The Rector took his text from the collect for the day, "Plentiously bringing forth the fruit of good works. He said in part:
 All life leads up to harvest. There is the harvest of the vegetable king dom and the harvest of the spiritual kingdom. Our Lord often compared these two. He saw in the harvest of the soil many similarities to the har- vest of the soul. He called himself the Lord of the Harvest and pointed to the time when the wheat should be separat- ed from the tares. Our Lord looked be- yond the visible and material harvest to the invisible and spiritual. His heart went out to human souls. Thns we are reminded of the two harvests. Many think only of the ole, while others realize that the important fruit is the fruits of good works. "'
 Not long ago visited a man who was in very joyous and thankful mood. He had just paid off the mort. gage on his house; paid all his debts and had a considerable sum over in the bank. He spoke of his prosperity. Then he showed that this was not the greatest cause of his happiness. Don't you think l have done my duty?" he said, proudly looking at his family "alI of my twelve children are a credit to me-" He showed that his greatest cause for thanksgiving was not in what his family possessed but in what they were. The harvest that this man was proudest of was the fruit of good works" This he could hold on to and present. to the Lord of the Harvest long after the material fruits have been con. sumed.
 Compare these two harvests. They

FIREMEN CALLED OUT
Blaze in Old Storehouse Quickly Ex-
 tinguished.

At 9 o'clock Monday evening the siren fire alarm gave notice that some- where fire had been discovered.
 It proved to be in the old icehouse and storage room of the building by the side of the Central New England tracks near the Ives 6 Peirce coal sheds.
 It was discovered by an engineer on passing locomotive, who at once gave warning by long blast of the whistle. Those who arrived on the scene first found smoke pouring from every crack and crev:ce of the structure. The opening of the first door showed that the fire had evidently been burning some time keeping to the partition be. tween the icehouse and the storeroom.
 Just how it started is mystery, but it looks as though a spark from ]oco- motive set fro to debris that shoulder. ed for quite some little time before a real good blaze resulted.
 The members of the Hose Company were quickly on the scene with 8 line of hose attached to the hydrant near the Whitford building. Holes were cut in the siding and roof through which the water soon extinguished the flames.
 The building was used by the Whit ford Supply Go. for storage of farm tools and implements on which at that time they had no insurance. They were about to move the stock to another storehouse farther up the track and they were busy doing it yesterday.
 It was very fortunate that the fire was discovered just when it was, for with more of a start, it could not help but communicate to the adjoining tene- ments, three of which were separated from the burning building by a drive way.

WORKING FOR DEER LIFE.

A deer, followed by two dogs, last Saturday, came down to the Blackberry flats and Housatonic river enroute to Toms hill, and escaped by breaking the Ice across a large cove and swim ming the river, which was not frozen. The ice in the cove was almost thick enough to hold the aminsl and it was so hard travelling that the deer was nearly exhausted before reaching the other side. The path was decidedly serpentine and plainly visible for several days, until the recent thaw melted the ice.

WHERE DO CHIMNEY SWEETS GO!

No one knows where our common chimney swifts spend five months of the year. It is an unsolved mystery which is puzzling the government bio- logists. Millions of these birds drift slowly south until on the northern coast ot the Gulf of Mexico they become an innumerable host. Then they disappear and for five months their haunt is mystery.

Senator Tillman at His Best:
More Power. to Him! ii

Occasionally from the Democratic
representation in Congress from the
South comes patriotic broadside
which fairly pulverizes and pala-
lyzes the paci6sta and the pork"
plunderers.
One of these was delivered in the
Senate by Benjamin Ryan Tillman,
of South Carolina, on Saturday, and
it's effect will be felt for many a
day. Speaking in opposition to the
River and Harbor bill, which ap-
propristes s42,Oo0,oOo, Of which
S300,00O will be expended within
his own State should the bill be-
come law, Mr.. Tillman said:
But I do not want my share of
the stealing in this bill. And while
South Carolina has items in it
amounting to s30O,UOO l shall vote
against it and hope that it will not
become a law. We need the money
so much for more important things
that it is criminal, to my mind, to
discuss this bill at all. Think of
it! Forty million dollars to be vast
ed and taxes to be heavily increas-
ed. That forty millions would
build two battle cruisers. No one
knows how many submarines it
would build, and ! can only guess
how many airships and other things
of that sort we could buy with 1t. :"
Seldom has a. statesman of any
party in Congress in recent years
reached the lofty height to which
this experienced legislator has as,
cended. No such measure as Mr..
Tillman denounces has ever passed
Congress except by log rolling"
by being, as Senator Lodge put it,
made to pass" Held together by
the cohesive power of public plum
der" State delegations swinging
into line for their particular piece
of pork" the money is taken out
of the Treasury by means which, it
not protected by Congressional en-
actment, would cause indictments
for malfeasance in Office. So far
as Mr.. 1illman is concerned he will
have none of it, and he will be a
bold Senator indeed who now rolls
the pork barrel bill up to the
White House for the Presidents
slgnature.--New York Herald,

Miss Faith Snuggs and Miss
Hortense Woodson Gradu-
ated From Tubman.

through the thoughtful kindness of
Mrs. B. B. Jones it was the privi-
lege of three other congenial ladies
to motor to Augusta, the occasion
being the graduating exercises of
the Tubman high school.
We left Edgefield at 6 p. m. and
the ride was delightful one, stop
ping just a few miles out of town
to enjoy a picnic supper just at sun
set. We reached the opera house
where the exercises were held just
little before the time for them to
begin.
The senior class was composed OF
thirty-fve young ladies and there
were several that the Edgefeld peo-
Pile knew and felt a personal inter-
est in.
Miss Hortensia Woodson, who is
really an Edgefeld girl, was the
salutatorian and caused us to feel
proud of our representative.
Anotha ar whom Edgefield claims
asg hers was Miss Faith Snuggs
daughter Of Rev. and Mrs. E. T.
Snuggs missionaries to China. 1t
seems only short while since she
came among us a little girl and q
stranger. They lived among us for
few months, and we learned to
love and appreciate them. When
the B. M.I.was moved to Greenwood,
Harold and Roland went there and
Faith to Augusta to make her home
with Mr.. and Miss Saxon where she
entered Tubman high school. There
she found real home and as love
and kindness begets love and kind
ness, the happiness was mutual. We
see her now tall, graceful young
lady but she greets us with the same
sweet, cordial smile.
Mr.. Snuggs has had to bring
Mrs. Snuggs back to this country,
her health and nerves having brok-
en- down. She is at Battle Creek
sanitarium, but wanting one Of
them to be present Mr.. Snuggs came
on to Greenwood last week to be
there when the two manly bows
graduated with honors at the B. NJ.
]. Then the three went to Augusta
to be present Thursday evening AMI
it was a pleasure indeed to us to see
the bright, happy, beaming faces as
they stood together, the only sad
note being the sick mother who
could not be present in person, but
was in spirit, we all knew. Their
love and faith makes them feel that
the climate, treatment and rest must
restore her. Not only among us but
among the Augusta people also did
we hear words of commentator
about Faith. Her faithfulness to
duty, her beautiful Christian char.
acter and other virtues were spoken
of by many.
The exercises we're simple but
beautiful and the Augusta people
evidenced their interest by their
presence, the opera house being
packed to Its utmost capacity, by
their rounds of applause and nest
beautiful floral offerings. 1t was an
evening of genuine pleasure to all
of US.
