JOHNSTON LETTER.
Miss Wheale Made Instructive
Talk. Egg Hunt Saturday
Afternoon. Minstrel
by High School.


Mr.. Austin resided here many years
and he and his family were held in
love and esteem by all. A few years
ago they went to Augusta to make
their home. The cause of his death
was pneumonia, and. he was i'll only
a short while. Besides his widow he
leaves two daughters, Misses Magda-
lene and Viola Austin, and sister,
Mrs. Nettie Jacobs. Miss Magdalene
Austin who was in Norfolk, Va, at
the tirne was wired of the critical i'll
ness and subsequent death Of her
father, but it is feared that she did
not receive the message as she had
not been heard from when the family
left for Johnston with the body.
Mr.. John Hoyt who has been i'll
with pneumonia, is now improving.
Miss Dorothy Wheale, National
w. C. T. U. speaker, who is making
tour of the state, by visiting each
union, was present at the Baptist
Sunday school, being with the local
w. C. T. U. president, Mrs. 7. R.
Denny. She made most instructive
and impressive talk based upon the
watchword of the W. C. T. u: "Agi-
tate, Educate, Organize" This being
one of the Temperance Sundays,
Anti-cigarette Day, she also spoke on
the harmful effect of the cigarette,
illustrating this by story that must
have caught the ear of every boy
present. From here she went to Phil
ippi, where she was to make an ad-
dress, and will return to Johnston at
an early date to make an address that
will be relative to the work of the
young people, and the organizing of
the Y. p. B.
Mrs. James II. White entertained
The teachers and officers Of the Bap-
tist Sunday school in a pleasont man
ner on Friday evening, the time be-
ing spent in a way that was not only
entertaining, but most profitable. A
we'll arranged program was had of
scripture, prayer, songs and solo
by the hostess. There were talks, fol-
lowed by discussions on "The movie
as an educational factor in the Sun
day school," this to portray the BIZ
BILE. "The intermediate lessons," and
"The teachers meeting" During the
latter part of the evening sweet
course was served.
Judging from the number of reap
ers and binders bought here last
week by the farmers, there must be
splendid harvest of grain coming
on.
Mr.. F. L. Parker, Jr., spent the
weekend here at home. 1t is always
a pleasure to have him come, and
doubly SO, when he furnishes such
sweet music as he did at the Easter
service at the Baptist church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard Tarant of
Mccormick are guests in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Wright.
Miss Edith Black of Columbia has
been visiting Miss Edith Jones.
Mrs. Charlie Brunson of Augusta
visited the family of her brother, DR..
j. A. Dobey during. the past week.
The School Improvement associa-
tion had an egg hunt Saturday after
noon on the campus of the High
School, this being to raise some funds
for the benefit of one of the depart
ments. The eggs were contributed by
patrons and friends, so there were
many hundreds of them. The admis-
sion was only ten cents and was linn
tied to the 9Th grade. 1t seemed that
every child in town really came, and
it was a beautiful sight to see them
as they entered the campus to begin
the hunt. The fun and pleasures of it
all was so infectious that even the
grown ups wished they were not be-
yond the age limit. A good sum was
realized.
The minstrel that the High School
will present on Friday evening prom
ises to be the most fun provoking
one that has been had here yet. Pre-
vious to the minstrel there will be the
Maypole dance and other attractions.
The proceeds all go to the High
School.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. W. Clark have
