On Tuesday, at 12 M., the Proviience
Sunday school had some exer- tl
nses by the school, under the man- a!
igement of the superintendent, Dr. ti
R. J. Hutchinson and his teachers, &
consisting of dialogues, essays, songs, ti
etc. At the close, Dr. W. H. Fra- a
zier, pastor of the First Presbyterian
ihurch at Anderson, who was on ^
hand, by request, came forward and ^
delivered a very fine lecture. It
was as usual with everything that E
the Doctor has to say, well delivered
and sunk deep into the hearts of the
people .
The young people, some at each
church last night, at the proper time, B
12 o'clock, rang out the old year and
-- ^
rang in r.ne new, carrying uui* au
old time custom.
Miss Annie Lou Power and her elittle

T.oct Sotnr^av ^r.Jirishinas n
the Smyrna Sunday school, under y
the direction and guidance of Mrs. ?
R. H. Moseley, had an exhibition, a 0
Christmas tree, well laden with pre- h
sents of various descriptions, all of
which were both pleasurable to re- ^
cipients, as well as donors. It has a
been said that it is more pleasurable s
to give than receive, but the writer n
has more or less, * 11 of his life ques- g
tioned the truthfulness of this adage. p
I freely admit that many times gifts j
are not prized as the donors believe a
that they will be. In above case it r
is believed that all were made happy c
and went home reioicine. There c
was such a down pour of rain during
the time of the tree that the attend* *
ance was made low. It is gratify- J
ing indeed to the writer to say that
it was one of the most quiet times
that he has ever passed through. If ^
there was any of the drinking of j,
whiskey, as there is a good deal of
some times, there was not seen by P
him one single one that was under '
the influence of it, none of the loud el
talking nor cursing nor profane lan- js
guage used at such times. The little
boys would once in a while (not
nftpnl a firp or
Roman candle, or something of the ^
sort. This their usual sport, for p(
several days and nights, was very
noticeably lacking. Nobody was
hurt in sport or intentionally.
Mr. Jas. L. Ellis, of the Georgia
Military Academy, came over this
week and spent a day or two with his S(
home folks in this place. h;

ERMANY NOW USING
MANY SUBSTITUTES
Berlin, Dec. 1.?The exigencise of
le war ha^e led to the creation of
Imost countless substitutes for arcles
which Germany no longer has,
yen to the production of substituons
for substitutes no longer availble.
The "Central Committee of the
iousewives' Associations of Greater
lerlin" has undertaken* to show the
ublic, especially the feminine poron
of it, how great is the number
f substitutes invented and already
n the market, and how practical
ley are, by means of one of the
lost notable expositions ever held in
lerlin.
There are exhibited a few of the
5od substitutes now in use but the
xposition is mainly devoted to artiles
of household use that have come
> replace all the copper and nickel
rare that has had to be turned in for
mmunition purposes.
Thus there are common iron pipes,
istefully gilded, to take the place of
rass curtain poles. There are vesels
and receptacles of all sizes made
f a material called* "serpentine"
rhich is found in great quantities
ear Dresden, available instead 01
lie copper pans and pots that have
one.
There are oven doors made of iron
nd steel which look every bit as well
s the nickel ones generally used and
rhich of course are quite as pracical.
Even pins now are being made
f iron instead of nickel, as are also
ooks and eyes and similar objects.
Some apparently efficient substiute
has been discovered for the rare
nd expensive rubber, and the expoition
shows garden hose of the new
laterial, which feels a;nd acts just as
enuine rubber does, and will exand
and contract quite as well.

For the Hanging Basket.
A little invention that can be eas?
ly copied at home Is a drip-catcher
or a hanging basket. It is in the
hape of a deep plate, with three
i-ires attachfd to it. These wires
re bent at the tops, and can easily
e slipped over the rim of the basot,
keeping the plate in position to

HOME OUT
Implied Rebuke.
A few days ago a little friend of
ours, three years old, stopped for her
daily visit, but as we had other company
we did not pay much attention
to her chatter until she said that she
would go home. I asked her to come
over again, and she answered doubtfully,
"Well," if you'd like to have me,
I'll stay now."?Chicago Tribune.
A Common Falling.
A couple of visitors from a rural district
were in the strangers' gallery in
the house of commons trying to recognize
their member on the floor. "I
can't distinguish him," said one, after
a hopeless visual observation. "Of
course not," was the honest reply.
"He can't even distinguish nimself."
?Tit-Bits.
Failure.
Whatever may be said of "fail," the
lexicons of a coroner's jury in Michl*
gan certainly contain the word "failare,"
as witness the finding: "We, the
jury, find that the deceased came to
his death from heart failure, super
Induced by speculation failure, which
was the result of failure to see far
enough ahead."?Modern Merchant
