Rehoboth Missionary Society.
On Saturday afternoon last,. the
Woman's Missionary Society of Re
hoboth held its monthly meeting at
the home of Mrs- Charjes Strom.
The attendance was large indeed,
only a f?w of our members being
absent. .
Several very 'V interesting pieces
were read which, were^ enjoyed by
all present. C^rie .letter in particu
lar was. touching, being an appeal
from Mrs. J. K. Durst of Green
wood, j3. C., for a chicken from
each member of our society for the
little invalid girls at the orphanage.
Of course this appeal touched eve
ry heart, and every member agreed
to contribute one or more chickens
to be shipped this week to the or
phanage.
Later on we are going to send
these little invalid girls a box of
nice, fresh eggs.
Our society is in a most prosper
ous conditional think, and at every
meeting one or two new members
are enrol?edj which is quite encour
aging to our President, in fact, to ?
all of our members, for we feel that
the longer our membership is, the
mor? we can accomplish for the ?
Master. ? *
Music for the occasion was fur- .
uished by Mrs. Robert Seigler, who
has a very remarkable musical tal
ent. .Mrs. Sallie Winn also sang a 1
number of those old, sweet songs for 1
us, which we greatly enjoyed.
Our efficient president, Miss Car- !
rie Burkhalter, told us that she was '
going to ?have our apportionment
cate! enlarged and placed in Reho- !
both church so that we can see J
what we are doing for missions, etc
Each member of our Society has a '
tiny mail box which they are to put '>
2c. a week into, and at the end of '
five months have an opening. In <
this way quite a neat little sum cab 1
be raised, and we can hardly realize 1
where it came from.
: Our next meeting willi be held at
the home of Mrs. Butler Strom on t
Saturday before 4th Sunday in Feb
ruary. We are looking for a large
attendance, as all of oar members
manifest "great interest in the meet
ings. L: . A Mem(ber.

Thc Origin of Royster ftrtilizer?.
Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the
Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality
above other considerations. This was Mr. Royster's
idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is his idea
to-day: the result has been that it requires Eight
