RED OAK GROVE
Union Meeting to be Held Satur-
day and Sunday. Young
Ladies. Leave for Lime
stone College.

Can we conceive of any misery to
equal that of a guilty conscience.
Think of Daniel in Lions den. That
King was far the more miserable
one of the two, because of deep
remorse of sin. While Daniel had no
way of knowing he would escape he
would rather die than be traitor
to God. Sin will surely bring
misery. The Lord shall preserve
thee from all evil.
The Union Meeting 3rd Division
will meet at Red Oak Grove next
Saturday and Sunday. We welcome
the Union to our church, hoping
much good may be accomplished
by the coming together and the
prayers of our neighbor churches.
The bad roads, with the inclement
weather prevented Hon. N. G..
Evans from filling his appointment
on the 22 inst, but we feel yet some
disappointment, trusting however
be may yet come among US.
The ladies made special arrange
ments for his coming, and our little
church was never more beautiful
than for that occasion being adorn-
ed with our nations colors.
We wish to extend thanks to Miss
Essie Bussey for the kind and
thoughtful loan Of her school Flag,
We commend the spirit she donteln-
plates cultivating in her school, by
requiring the children to salute
twice daily the honored "Old Glory.
Miss Essie is an estimated lady who
possesses much talent.
In modern Priscilla we read the
following; Mr.. Hoover, the Food
Administrator of United States, has
made an earnest appeal to American
women, Saying, but for two
reasons tie burden would be un-
bearable. %
One is, I am sure every loyal
4meriican will at this time, under
take unhesitatingly and whole
heartedly whatever service is' fequir-
ed of him.
The other reason is,-The Ameri-
can woman. I believe you have on
ly to understand the food needs of
this nation, of the Allies, and, in
fact, of the entire world, in order to
enlist your immediate and intelligent
support.
Again he says, In confidence 1
turn to you so to conduct your af-
fairs, and so to influence the activi-
ties of your community, that we
may largely pay for the war as we
60 along out Of our savings in food
and in human production
The splendid rain has revived the
grain sowing, we learn several of the
farmers will begin their plows in
few days.
Many report shortage of half a
crop in cotton. Corn is generally
very good indeed, in this section.
Misses Kathleen kenrick, Mamie
Bussey and Mayrice Holmes left

Miss Theresa Bunch of North
Augusta, at Modoc, and Miss Carrie
Dorm at Spartapburg.
Mr.. Dewey McClendon's condition
is not much improved, but every
thing that skill and close attention
can give is being rendered and we
do hope he may soon be on the road
to recovery.
Little Edna Thurmond is slowly
improving but is yet quite sick.

kind hospitality of Mrs. G. O. Bunch
and sons and be with Mrs. Thresea

Deacon Mathews of h red
memory, who has done done much

We must mention the unusual
talent of little Anna Murrah, daugh-

make nearly all her own clothes and
besides, does lovely crocheting and
