SUCCESSFUL WITH TOMATOES.
M- e I," >>lnll Una Srtni(> Fine
i?tl \ ? - -
One*.
Mr. C. F. Stoll Is one of the most
successful tomato growers hereabouts.
He has had single .tomatoes
weighing more than two pounds, hut
more interesting still is the fact that
some of his finest Ponderosas grow
in clusters like grapes. Hanging In
front of Mr. Stoll's shop today may
be seen a cluster or thirteen attached
to one stem. Taey weight seven
and three-quartftr pounds. Tu cutting
the bunch from the vine, one
drepped. But that one weigh: more
than four e#noes, so the original
cluster weighed over eight pounds.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES END.
Rev. J. C. Rowan's dosing Sermon
An Able One.
The week's religious meeting, conducted
by the Uev. J. C. Rowan of
Camden, came to a close Sunday
night in the open air at the court
house square, in the presence of the
largest congregation, composed of
all the denominations of the town,
ever assembled together in Lancaster,
there being about 500 people
present.
Mr. Rowan used as his text Mark
14:71, "But he began to curse and
to swear, saying I know not this man
of whom you speak." In a logical,
eloquent and convincing sermon, Mr.
Rowan traced the steps by which
Peter came to deny his Master. He
showed how each sin leads to other
and deeper sins and leaves deep
scars which cause decay and ruin.
To many who had heard the whole
excellent series, this sermon was a
titting climax and the last was perhaps
the best. It was Indeed a privilege
to the people of Lancaster to
hear this gifted young minister from
Camden. He is original, interesting
and earnest and has won a warm
place in the hearts of our people.
Rev. H. ft. Mureliison thanked Mr.
Rowan for the messages he brought
to -our people, thanked all who had
come to hear him. the choir which
had helped with the music and all
who had assisted in any way.
Mr. Rowan thanked the congregation
most heartily for their evidences
of appreciation. We have secured
from this able minister the
promise of the manuscript of one of
the sermons ho preached here last
week and hope to give it to our readers
in an earlv issue of The News.

easily into place they began to hammer
on it and the explosion which
followed burned both boys about the
face and eyes and the shell narrowly
escaped lilting the baby, who was
nlnvincr on the floor nearby. A hole
In the floor very close to where the
little one sat showed where the shell
went through, but she did not recognize
