a
Mr.. Wallace Wright has been criti-
cally i'll during the past week, and all
his family have been called to his
bedside. While there is no change for
the better, he is now resting more
comfortably. He is 70 years Of age,
and has no reserve force 70 rally up
on. The prayers Of all are for this
good man that he may be spared

Mrs. Thomas Weiderman spent the
past week in Columbia at the bedside
of her father, Mr.. Epting, who was
operated on at the Baptist Hospital
for gall stone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gerard Tarrant and
little Roddie spent the weekend here
with relatives,
Rev. Mr.. Bagby of Chester will fill
the pulpit of the Baptist church on
Sunday morning.
In response to the call all over the
state for the sunrise prayer meeting
for last Sunday morning, this was
held in the Baptist church here, and
was a sweet and, beautiful service.
This service was call to prayer for
the SIS Million Campaign. Somehow
there is more solemnity and the pow
er of God is felt at the early morning
hour. In the Bible there are so many
"early morning" incidents that were
holy times, and those that gathered
at sunrise left almost awed and real
lied that they were indeed in the
of God, and were there for
His help and guidance at this period
in the campaign. There were several
beautiful testimonies of answer to
and faith in God, and earnest
petitions offered.
1t has been a great privilege to
the club women of the town to have
as their guests their state president,
Mrs. Adam Moss, and district vice
Mrs. j. NJ. Patterson, these
ladies spending Wednesday, and
Wednesday night here. On Wednes-
day afternoon an open meeting was
held at !, risaas,
which the pubic was s. invited. Tie

ferns and baskets of flowers, the col

and green and white of the literary
club. The meeting was opened with
beautiful prayer by Mrs. Olin Eid-
son, and a piano solo was rendered
by Mr.. Elliot Lewis, and also by Mrs.
G. D. Walker. Miss Gladys Sawyer,
president of the music club, express
ed the pleasure of all in having these
two honor guests visit the clubs, and
Mrs. j. H. White, president of the lit
erary club, in happy words, introduc-
ed the speakers. Mrs. Moss was the
first speaker, and in the beginning
she said she had to change the points
of her talk, for she found the clubs
here doing the thing she had come to
put before them. AS South Carolina
Director of the General Federation,
and having attended the Biennial,
at Chautauqua, N. Y, she gave
very interesting account of some of
the sessions. She told of the new
headquarters in Washington and of
South Cardinals part, $1,000, this to
be met by a gift of about SIS from
each club. The two new phases of
work, friendly cooperation with the
ex-service men, and junior club work,
were told of. Club women were urg-
ed to be big sisters to the junior
club workers and with gentle direct

were to do all they could to create
sentiment in preserving our forests.
The governor has called upon the
clubs for representatives to help CO.
operate in the state wide movement.
Club women were asked to put forth
their best endeavor to make educa-

much power in the hands of club
women, and the great body is

The district vice-president, Mrs.
Patterson, also complimented the
clubs on their good work. She urged
