RED OAK GROVE.
Beautiful Sunday School Exer-
cises at Red Oak Grove
Church. Death of Luther
Bailey.

The exercises by our Sunday
school yesterday was very much
enjoyed. The children acquitted
themselves very we'll. So well th at
we feel constrained to believe we
have splendid material for devel-
opment. Therefore. no time should
be denied them in trying to teach
them in every way we can. An
other feature we appreciated and
enjoyed was the willingness our
members manifested in rendering
their services, even though they
may feel it q service worthless,
Man looketh on the outward ap-
pearance, but God looketh upon the
heart" We can but feel their eff
forts were not in vain. We wish
more could have enjoyed the day
with US, especially our pastor, for
our young leaders I know would
have greatly encouraged him by
their remarks, as they~did us. At
the close of the exercises by the
school Mrs. Fannie Grifiis had
short exercise for her Sunbeams.
By our Y. w. A. girls she demon
strated the Sunbeam tea party"
and little Martha Zimmerman sang
so sweetly the congregation seemed
almost spell-bound. Our collection
exceeded the expectation of the
school, as there were only a few
present. So we can never know what
we can do, till we have tried.
The Social Circle No. 2, meets

Miss Lou Eva Parkman is guest

Mrs. Sam Agner and daughter
ID DE iss lie returned gsSna
Greenwood and Ninety-Six, wEere:
they had quite a pleasant time,,
returning home they dined on Boles
Mountain with Mr.. and Mrs. J. w.
Bailey.
We wish Mr.. and Mrs. McKie
Bailey every success in their new
home in Augusta. They have many
warm friends among us, who ex-
tend them many good wishes.
Miss Essie Holston from Modoc
is visiting her aunt, Mrs. D. G.
Bussey.
Mr.. J. T. GriAis has just returned
from Greenwood, having combined
pleasure with his business TO the
city. He enjoyed the privilege of
visit to Orphanage with Mr.. J. K.
burst, who, so kindly gave him the
trip. He said the chapel exercise
was beautiful to behold, body of
over three hundred children and all
so hale and happy.
One pleasure of the week for us
was given by Mrs. Frank Bussey in
honor of her parents, MIR. and Mrs.
Henry Bussey of Anderson, S. Z.
Mr.. Bussey talked quite interest
ingly of the splendid work done in
the Sunday school at Anderson.
Also of the Teacher Training Glass
they have recently organized, led
by Prof. Watson. While the coun-
try churches may not all have learn
ed and experienced leaders in their
Sunday school, it seems to me with
al the available literature and les
son helps so easily obtained we
might form Glass" and do our
best, for that is all that is required
of anyone. l can conceive of no
way in which we could spend the
long winter evenings more profit
ably.
Our community was saddened on
yesterday by the news of the death
of Mr.. Luther Bailey, in Augusta.
He was son of Mr.. j. w. Bailey
and was reared here, where be made
many warm friends. Today by the
side of his mother at Red Hill his
remains were laid to rest. His pop
ularity and esteem in his adopted
home was attested by the many
beautiful floral offerings sent. Rev.
J. T. Littlejohn preached most
beautiful funeral sermon, using as
his subject Remember thy Crea-
tor in the days of thy youth" Mr..
Bailey was quite young man, not
over % years of age. In his going
away we could but feel, that God
works in mysterious ways, his Won
ders to perform. Our hearts 60 out
