Wounded Men Of the Thirtieth
Return.

The Greenville Piedmont of Mon
day states that a Hospital Train
passed through Greenville Sunday
en- route to Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
where they will be placed in the Base
Hospital until they are sufficiently re-
covered to return to civil life. The
troop train contained eight cars and
the number of wunded soldiers was
approximately four hundred. All OF
them were said to be members of the
Thirtieth Division. This was the last
contingent of wounded of the Thrift
eth Division, according to Major
Hathaway who was with the 117th
Infantry when that outfit was at
Camp Sewer.

miles? Let us not think that the QeE
engaged in army service and border
duty are the only ones who are serv-
ing their country. This army of car
riers is likewise rendering service of
inestimable value. Be kind, courteous
and thoughtful to your mail carrier.
He earns all he gets for serving you.
Has it ever occurred to you that a
hot cup of coffee or chocolate with a
hot buttered roll handed to him with
a smile about the noon hour, would
cheer his spirits and quicken his cir
culation these cold chilling days? 1t
would make the blood in his veins
flow like quicksilver, singing to him
the sweet song Of life; and then you
would feel better too, and something
would softly whisper deep down in
your soul saying: 'inasmuch as ye
have done it unto the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto
me-"
Let your mail carrier know that
you appreciate his faithfulness.
Scores will rush in to tell him Of al
legged shortcomings. So you hand
him rose, while others may prick
him with thorn. And say with the
poet: Teach me to feel another's
woe, to hide the fault l see; that mer-
cy l to others show, that mercy show
to me-"

JOHNSTON LETTER.
Attendants to D. A. r. Confer
ence. Mrs. Kenney Cele-
brates Birthday. Death
Of Mrs. Evey.

Recently, five carloads of pure fish
scrap were unloaded here to scores
to the farmers, this product being
something entirely new for them.
This fish scrap was shipped here by
the Seminole Oil and Fertilizer Co.,
of Florida, chiefly to their stock
holders.
The town is still under quarantine,
owing to health conditions, and Sun
day was again a quiet day, there be-
ing no religious services.
As there is no school, some Of the
teachers have returned to their
homes.
The death of Mrs. Eleanor lvey,
which occurred last week in Green
wich, Conn.,, at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. E. a. Schnell, was
learned here with deep regret, and
when the body arrived here on Thurs
day and was carried to her former
home, sorrowing friends came to pay
a last tribute to her, and to place
flowers on her bier.
Mrs Ivey was one of the earliest
residents of this place, coming here
from Winston, N. c., with her hus-
band, Capt John R. Ivey.
She was a woman of much intel
lect and talent, and was of the old
school of the type of polished, refined
and cultured women. She was writ
er of merit, and her non-de-plume
was "Daisy Dean" The productions
of her pen have brought great pleas
ures to numbers, her chief produc-
tions being popular fiction, plays and
articles on current, events.
During her days of activity, she
was always identified in everything
that was for the good of the town.
She was pioneer worker of the
w. C. T. u, and what she has done
in interest OF this, has been OF laStlnS
good. She was member of the Meth
-odist church and was faithful to it,
and was always found in her pew as
long as her health permitted
About three years ago she became
so feeble, she went to stay while
with her daughter, Mrs. Schnell, but
was never sufficiently strong to re-
turn.
Her children were devoted to her,
and every attention and luxury was
given her that she might be happy
and comfortable. Although so far
away, the other two living children,
DR.. Hugh Ivey Of Atlanta and Mr..
Preston Ivey of Columbia, made
visits to her when she wanted to see

Mourning Brassards.

The families of those who have
lost their loved ones in the War have
been provided by the Red Gross with
brassards containing gold star foe
each member of their family who
gave up his life in the service of their
country. These are given to the pa

number of these have already beer
delivered. If there are those in this
county who have not received them,
apply to Miss Sarah Collett who will
secure them for you.

TRY THIS METHOD
OF CANNING TOMATOES
Economical Method Recommended
BY Louisiana state University
specialists.

An economical method of canning
tomatoes is recommended by the can
ming specialists of the Extension Divi'
sion, Louisiana State University, as
follows:
Pack firm, whole fruits In jar and
fill in the spaces with concentrated
tomato sauce. Each quart jar will
then provide whole tomatoes for sal
ads or baking and tomato puree for
SOUPS or sauces. The recipe is given
here.
Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes of medium size. Put into trays
and lower into boiling water for one
minute. Remove, plunge into cold
water; drain, and cut out the core with
a slender-pointed knife without cut
ting into the seed cells. Peel prompt
ly and pack into jars. TO each pint
add one level teaspoonful Of mixture
Of one-third salt and two-thirds sugar
FIJI the jars with thick tomato sauce
made by cooking the small or broken
tomatoes until tender. Remove the
seeds and skins by straining the pulp
and concentrate it by boiling to
about the consistency Of ketchup. Ad'
Just the rubber cap, place the packed
lars on a false bottom In vessel OF
water which reaches almost to their
tops and keep at boiling temperature
for rs minutes. Remove the jars from
the water bath and tighten the covers
Immediately.
