With favorable seasons from now till harvest time, Mr. Strom. thinks farmers will be satisfied with the yield.. Zealous .Church Workers. On the day of the campaign meet ing at Red Hill as we stood and watched the dozen or more ladies as they served saucer after .saucer of ice cream to raise money for their missionary treasury, we asked Rev. Mr. Littlejohn whether or not I he could get along without the Christian women of his churches, and hereplied,notmeaningtodiscount or discredit the men, that if lt were not for the good women, at times he would be almost ready to give up. Every church, every commu nity, has its consecrated Christian women who are~>eady to take part in every good work. What .would the country do without them? Among Mr. Littlejohn's faithful workers at Red Hill are the follow ing : Mrs. O. J. Holmes, Mrs. Maggie McDaniel, Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, Mrs. Amie Hammond, Mrs. W. E. Prescott, Mrs. H. H. Smith, Misses Hassie Quarles, Georgia and Annie Mathis, and Miss Amie Hammond. Would that every country church could number so many noble, self sacrificing women among its work ing force. 1 ''Mack's Sey?n-EUtr Corn." Everybody is admiring the very beautif ul corn of our friend Trapp McMaiius just beyond the eastern border? of town. Each stalk seems to be vying with the one next to it as to which shall produce the larg est number of ears. Some actually have as many as seven ears. Think of one little grain of corn produc ing enough to feed a horse! It seems incredible. OuV friend Trapp should sell every grain of this splen did variety of corn for seed.v The Advertiser makes bold to name it now: "Mack's Seven-Ear Corn." - Now in New York. ? Mr. W. H.

In some sections delay has been"*caused on account of the great difficulty experienced in getting grain threshed. The prizes will- be awarded to those making the largest yield as soon as all reports have been received. Deep Plowing Pays. While goiig to Augusta early last spring, the writer observed a farmer running a three-horse plow in a field on one side of the railroad and on the opposite side a one? horse plow was turning: the soil. A few days ago while passing those fields we were impressed with the marked difference in the growing crops in the two fields. While both have suffered from the excessive rain, y^et judging from the present prospect the land that was broken with the three-horse plow will pro duce a third more than that broken with the one-horse plow. It mat ters not whether it be a wet or dry year, it always pays to plow deep. The Little Irish Gentleman. [The following lines refer to 4)r. T. M. Bailey, Greenville, S. C., and were written by his grand-daughter, and were published in the Baptist Courier :] There lives in the heart of the city, 'Mid rattle and rush galore, v . A dear little Irish Gentleman, Whom my heart does truly adure. > Not of his life is the city's grime, ' Its noise and its ceaseless din. He lives with the wife of his heart, half hid, From the world with its lusts and ) sin. .There are bright fragrant blossoms around his door, " There are shrubs and -grasses green, A more restful spot where care is not, I ?m sure I have never seen. And you know there's an old-fashioned farden, ere wond?rful green things grow, But the garden i? the little gentleman's pet, So it couldn't be other than so. t There the sunbeams fall more caress ingly, And. the winds blow more gently too. For the little old gentleman is Nature's child And she favors him the whole year through. And there 'mid the life of the city, He's found his work to do, So is it not right that he should rest With years of hard labor through! And often they who are tired and worn And they whose hearts are sore And they, who are weary of life'and its cares, Have found their way to his door. To all the days that have numbered his years, He has tried to give his best, -So'he'has no fear for the' days to - come, God has promised him blessedness. -Lillie May Bailey. Executor's Notice.
