JOHNSTON LETTER.
Revival in Baptist Church. I'm
profitable Prices for Pota-
toes. Bible Class Has
Social Meeting.


S. Brooke is being assisted by Dr..
Hardy of Georgia. DR.. Hardy did not
arrive until time for the Monday
evening service, but on Sunday, the
pastor preached two very earnest
sermons.
The people are all deeply interest
ed and feel the need of genuine
revival, and the services are being
largely attended. Sweet music, which
is always a force in any meeting is
being stressed. Besides the regular
choir the junior choir assists, and a
young folks choir has also been or
ganized. The orchestra assists, so its
volume of sweet music is heard.
There are two services, morning at
1890 and evening at $3.50. The ser
vices will continue about ten days.
Mrs. John o. Cough of New Or
leans is spending a while here with
friends. She is the wife of former
pastor of the Baptist church, and is
warmly welcomed here whenever she
returns. This winter she will make
her home at Dallas Texas.
Mrs. Mena Calhoun of Florida is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Ben
Wright.
Mrs. M. T. Siftley and Miss Ella
Mobley are guests of their sister, Miss
Lillian Mobley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garland Coleman and
little son are visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Barlow Walsh.
Mrs. Leora Wright Simmons, who
has been matron at Coker College,
has arrived for the vacation, which
she spends here with her brothers.
Miss Horterse Padgett, one of the
teachers at Edgefeld is spending a
while here with relatives. ....s s..
One Of the carloads Of Irish po-
tatoes that was shipped from here
about two weeks ago has been heard
from and it is found that only about
20 cents on the barrel will be realiz-
ed. It seems that the freight cost is
entirely consuming anything of prof
it on all produce shipped. The pota-
toes were very fine ones and should
have brought good price.
The Mary Ann Buie chapter is
planning for the annual picnic that,
it gives each year to the veterans,
their wives and the widows of veter-
ans. The world war veterans will
again be guests. The picnic will be on
June 3Oth at the home of Mrs. Mar
tha Edwards, where several very
pleasant picnics have been had by the
chapter during the last few years.
Mrs. w. S. Brooke returned on
Friday evening from the Baptist
Hospital and is now rapidly improv-
ing.
DR.. w. C. Connerly happened to a
painful accident last week, while in
North Carolina. While boarding a
train, his foot slipped, and the wheel
of the train passed over the end Of
his foot, three of his toes being so
badly bruised that it was necessary
to remove them. He and Mrs. Con-
nerly had intended coming to john
ston the next day to visit in the home
of the latter's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Phil Waters, but they had to defer
their visit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Mobley and Miss
Carrie Mobley of Thomson, Ca,
spent the past week here in the home
of Mrs. Annie Lewis.
Miss Lott of Elko is visiting Mrs.
J. Neil Lott and other relatives.
As the writer is member of the
publicity committee for the Loan
Scholarship Fund of the S. c. Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs, the follow
ing she thinks, may be of interest to
some of the young women:
"The S. C. Federation of Wom-
ems clubs has loan fund from which
loans are made to needy and ambi-
tious girls, who, without this aid,
would be unable to secure college
education, and thus become self
supporting in some specific line
ssUntil the fund grows considerably
loans ranging from $50 to $3.50 are
preferred. Application blanks and
rules governing loans may be secured
from Miss Mabel Montgomery, chair
man, Marion, S. c."
This loan fund was created last
