Preach Next Sunday.
New School Building.

Will Agnew, was at his post of
duty at Sunday school last Sunday,
though only few braved the rain
and rising wind. Our lesson was
marked with much truth, that Jesus
cares for the every day affairs of
mankind. He numbered his friend,
snip with the poor, rich, high and
low alike, as our two last lessons
have 80 plainly taught us. There
fore, each lesson is quite applicable
Ito. the needs of today. In anxiety
VIZ so often forget the nearness of
Christ to our natures. He knows
our needs;-then let US be diligent
land learn Of Him.
There has been formed in our S.
Is. a teacher training class. The
new Convention Normal Manual
Ebeing selected. Ourclass will hold
Ea meeting each week. Will say
more later.
Our Social Circle has many plea
SAINT and helpful features, and one
we note with appreciation, is the
willingness with which our members
respond to each duty assigned them.
New members being added OCCASION
ally, is one of the encouraging fes-
lures. The last to join us is Masters
Sam and Eddie Agner. We will
miss Mrs. Mamie Bussey at our
next meeting, as each one has a part
assigned to them. We miss every
one that happens to be absent. Mrs.
Bussey is visiting her son, Rev. 2.
Ia. Bussey, at Summer7ille, S. G.
a Mr.. John Holland was providen-
italy prevented filling his appoint
which our pastor had arranged for
in his absence, but to relieve the
congregation of the coming dis
npointment, MIR. Bussey just had
time 10 inform as -. i,8
the IL O'Clock train and returning
to Greenwood on the noon train
was real pleasure, compared to the
thought of his flock here not under
landing just the situation as it was.
We take pleasure in announcing by
equest, that Mr.. Bussey will preach
for US on next Sunday, A. NJ, 18th
inst. Should the weather be good
is almost to say our pastor will be
greeted by large crowd.
Mr.. Oscar Zimmerman has made,
an addition to his house, and in
tends repainting his home in the
summer.
Some in our town. have named
their homes, which we think a
q splendid idea. There is sweet
sentiment that it seems to watt and
hope many may adopt it.
Right at this time agriculture is
being discussed and given more con-
Germ than at any period in the last
century. Why can't the farmers
wake up to the opportunity and
possibilities of a home" in the
country.
But our way of seeing our
homes in the country improve, is to
build good roads, then other i'm
portant assets will help us take care
of our homes better, such as better
schools and more interest in our
churches will surely result. The
material for our school building at
Flat Rock is now under way and
will be placed as it is sawed on
ground where our new building will
be erected.
Mr.. John Griffis has given the
shingles and has been quite busy
having them sawed at Mrs. Pres
colts mill.
Mr.. John Mcdaniel, one of our
patrons, is saving the other material
given by Mr.. Will Agner. Mrs.
Mamie Bussey has given one hun
dred dollars. others are contributing
generously, while the entire com
munity joins in every good wish
and seems to be cooperating with
the trustees. We speak of those
things because we appreciate the
spirit of our community.
We regret to learn of the declin-
ing health of Mr.. Z. G. Morgan,
and trust as the spring opens up
his former health will return and
that he can come over and drink
spring water at the Doolittle spring
near where he taught school in long
ago.
We regret the departure of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Morgan to Florida,
where they will make their home.
Mrs. Mary Cartledge, sister of the
Messrs. Morgan yet resides in their
home community, being the only
member of the family now in South
Carolina
