McManus heard a hen, whose little chicks were hatch ing:, make a noise as if in distress. She went to see what the trouble was, and, while in the act of plac ing her hand under the hen, dis covered a large snake in the nest. The intruder had already swallow ed one of the chicks. Mr. McManus was called out and he soon had his heel on the serpent's head. This was a narrow escape for Mrs. McManus and the chicks that had just emerg ed from the shell. The Rose Bud Club The Rosebud club was held Thursday afternoon at the home of Miss Hortense Woodson. While the program was thoroughly enjoyed and the hostess made the occasion exceedingly pleasant, jet the mem bers were saddened by the thought that a beloved member, Miss Mell Burgess, was with them for the last time, as she soon leaves to make her home in Yorkville. A delightful luncheon was served. The beautiful place cards, the handiwork of Miss Edward ina Blalock, represented a rose falling from the branch, typify ing the departure of one of the members from their ranks.

Being the regular preaching day, the ordinance of baptism was administered to two young converts from Antioch and eighteen from the Red Hill church. At the beginning of the service the doors of both churches, Antioch and Red Hill, were opened for the reception of members and Mr. and Mrs. Frank West also Mrs. Joe Hamilton united with Antioch by letter.

Day, the fortuaite owner, it easily one of the most progressive young farmers in the county. He ?ows largely of rye to improve his land. Better purchase seed from him for your cover crop. His is very superior rye, such as is grown at Beech Island. Resolutions Adopted By Pres byterian Church. At a meeting of the members and congregation of the Presbyterian church the following resolutions adopted : Wheras: The Rev. T. P. Burgess has sent to the churches under his charge in Edgefield county, his res ignation as pastor and the same having been accepted, and we the members of the Edgefield Presby terian church, being desirous of ex pressing our appreciation of his high Christian character and work among us for the past eight years, and desirous of expressing our deep regret at having to sever our rela tions as pastor and congregation: Therefore be it resolved, First: That we deeply deplore the great loss of Rev. T. P. Burgess and his estimable family from our church and home circle. Second: That we shall miss him in his high Christian and gentle manly influence in our church and town.

In spite of the mud and unfavora ble weather, it is expected that the attendance will be large. Ladies who engage in Christian work are generally v^ry zealous and enthu siastic, overcoming seemingly in: surmountable obstacles in order to carry out their plans. A prominent feature of the convention will be the sermon to be delivered by Dr. P. J. McLean in Wise's hall this evening. The public is cordially in vited. Joe Holland Highly Esteemed in Roanoke. The Roanoke Tigers a^e going td miss good old Joe Holland much more than the Magic City fans have an idea. Holland deserves to go higher, and there is not a close ob server on the circuit who will not wish him well. A gentleman, every inch of him. He is a credit to the great pastime which he represents. Holland has always played the game for all it is worth for Roa noke. He has been a valuable man to the team, but never once on the local grounds has he stooped to a single thing that was beneath the dignity of a gentleman. The only pity is that there are not hundreds of Joe Hollands. Let's all wish him good luck in San Francisco. Just how bad the Tigers will miss him will be seen later.-Lynchburg Ad vance.
