WHITMIRE PEOPLE ALWAYS
DO THEIR PART WELL.
Oversubseribed Appeal for Building
Church.-Successfu Meeting
Closes-Heavy Rains and
High Creeks.
Whitmire, July 24.-Rev. J. N

ducting meeting here, for the past
two weeks. The services have been
well attended both afternoon and
night; the large tent often being full
to the overflow. The evangelist
leaves for his home tomorrow. He
carries with him the good wishes of
the people of our town. He will take
few days rest, after which he will
begin a meeting in Newberry. Sun
day night at the closing service Rev.
Hames asked for $500 in subscrip-
ton, to supplement az fund already
received to build a Wesleyan Metho-
dist church on the lot purchased by
the congregation last summer. OF
course, as our town always does, we
went away over the top. Now Whit
mire may have it's faults, all towns
have, but it believes in the maxim
<sCast thy bread upon the waters and
thou shalt find it after many days."
Just plan out ANY way you wish to
raise money for a worthy cause
around here and you will always get
more than you asked for. We keep
the trophy cup along this line all the
time and this little eouplet may apply
to 3 town as well as an individual.
<1There is so much good in the worst
Of as
And SO much bad in the best of US
That it little behooves any of us
To criticize the rest of u.s."
