Clip Donovan with his two yoke'
of wild steers will be missed, as he
never failed with his covered Wagon
to attend this annual gathering al
Slaughter Beach.
These scenes generally took place
before the days of automobiles and
when people were compelled to ira
vel all of Wednesday and part of the
night to reach the old resort in time
to enjoy the sport which would hap
pen the next day which would be
Big Thursday. People had fun in
those far away days. More so, than
the days of the present time. People
have become so absorbed with other
things they have no time for real
sport and pay no. attention to the
fun which used to attract the atten-
ton of the people in the days past
and gone.
Crops Around Glendale
The splendid rains we had last
week made everything look more
prosperous. While some of the crops
were ruined by the intense heat and
drougth-others have taken on new
life and with a fair season will yield
a fair crop.
Corn-especially that which was
planted late is looking good. The
early crop is failure.
N 1nnlyinu finn and
should make the farmers some mon
ey.
Late potatoes are up and growing
with the recent rains, they should be
helped well toward maturity.
Sweet potatoes are looking fairly
good.
Soy beans-while many of the pat
ches are beyond repair and are be-
ing cut for hay. others have started
to grow and will yield enough beans
for seed.
Peaches are more plentiful and
selling at one dollar to dollar and
twenty-five cents per basket.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are
plentiful and fairly cheap.

Church News
The Pilgrims Holiness Camp meet
ing which is being held in Lavenia's
Woods, near Milton commenced Au-
gust IA and will continue over three
Sundays. These people do not sell
anything on Sundays and adhere
strictly to the old blue laws which |
prohibit the sale of anything on the
Sabbath Day. Their church is open |
at all times with the exception of the |
time when the camp is going on.
No vacations at any time, but. re-
ligious services continue to go on |
Sunday after Sunday the year |
through. Is the Holiness Church !
right? Churches of nearly all denom-
nations close their churches for |
preaching services during the |
month of August and some close en-
tirely. The destructive power of Sa-
tin is just as strong during the |
month of August as in any other
month of the year.
