The evening sermon at 7:30 will be about a poor rich man who became a rich poor man. Home Coming Delayed. Rev. Jofm Lake and wife, of South China, were granted a fur lough by the Board in order that I they might come homo and recup-1 e. ate, but owing to the great need of workers at the front, they have written that they will not come now, but will stay until next year. When we see the consecration of these young people who have been ont fo:* years, surely, those of us in the homeland ought to try to render more earnest service to our God. Foreign Mission Journal.

W.Alford,of Coving ton, Ga., have recently come into our midst, Mr. Alford having charge of the installing of electric lights in our town. On Saturday night last their little girl, Elizabeth, who has been ill for a week or more, passed into the beyond, at the home of Mrs. Marion Jones, where the family were boarding. This dear ?little girl was at. the interesting age, ?being just five years old, and was a beautiful child. Mr. and Mrs. Al ford are left with one little boy, strangers in Edgefield, and yet hav ing a place in the hearts of the peo ple. Many expressions of smpathy have been heard, and though they are not known personally to many in Edgefield, they are recipients of their condolence and prayers. On Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock this little girl was laid to rest in the cemetery at Edgefield, Rev. J. R. Walker, and Dr. M. D. Jeffries, officiating. The is the store that fee t.

Ordination Service. A very interesting service took place at the Baptist church on Sun day afternoon when three members of church, O. Sheppard, Esq., Mr. W. B. Cogbnrn and Col. F. N. K. Bailey were set apart as deacons of the local church. Mr. Sheppard had held this office in the church with which he had previously been con nected, and did not have to be or dained, the other two, receiving the laying on of hands. Dr. T. M. Bailey and Dr. Dorset were expected to be present on this occasion, but were detained. It was 1 regretted that Dr. Bailey's health interfered with his presence. Dr. Dorset was detained on account of conflicting duties. Dr. Hatcher is greatly beloved in Edgefield, and his coming was a great joy to many. He was looking remarkably well, and full of youth ful exuberance. He will never grow old. His address was on the ideal deacon, and was a delightful inter pretation of the scriptural require ments for that important office. He paid tribute to those who were being made deacons, and made an orginal and very interesting exhor tation to tbem based on the six abilities which he enlarged on, viz: agreeability, adjustability, pre sentability, honorability, service ability and indispensability. This unique way of presenting the ideas < he had in mind, was extremely in teresting. After the ordination ser- J vice closed, all the members of the J church as well as the officiating I ministers went up and shook hands ' with the newly installed deacons, and all the people took this oppor- f tunity ot, greeting Dr. Hatcher ? again. 1 Interesting Letter From Colliers.

We have had some real old weather with plenty of rain, ice md snow, but it had been so long since we have had a big snow, we really enjoyed seeing the admira Lion of some of the large boys and ?irls who never before enj?yela ijsnie of snow ball Before going further with my letter will relate some of the chang 28 in our neighborhood as well as many other communities just to sall to mind what a few years bring forth. For instance if one -ofour teachers that taught for us eight or ten years ago wer J to visit among us now, they would notice more than we do. Some of the boys and girls, their pupils theo, are now young men and young ladies. Many of the young men and ladies then are now married, many of the faces they saw then, they would not see now. Almost every home has had im provements and changes, such as telephones, gas lights, water works, R. F. D's. Automobiles, motor cycles, negroes riding in tine vehi cles, etc., are daily seen. Among other improvements, in stead of the little building in which 1 they taught, the teachers would lind : a nice new schcol building with | nice improved furniture. We have Sunday school ever; Sunday afternoon and preaching on j the third Sunday afternoon by the Rev. J. T. Littlejohn. Our ladies missionary union meets every 2nd Saturday afternoon in our Sunday school room. Mrs. C. T. Mathis, who has been sick for nome time, improves slowly, although we are proud to say, she is not confined to her bed now. Mr. O. J. Prince who has been on a visit to ?relatives in Tennessee and Texas, and was much fagged out from his longftrip, is feeling much better now. Mrs. D. T. Mathis visited her sister Mrs. John Mays last week near Edgefield. Mrs. J. H. Mathis spent last week with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Eo gene iThurmond near the Grove church. We were glad to see her and the two little children come back home. We were sorry to see Mr. T. M. Hammond and little Grady move from among us. They have gone to East Colliers. We are glad of our two new neighbors Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Thurmond of Modoc and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Prince.

Cooperative Canneries to be ; Established in South Caroli- ' na. ; Mr. W. W. Adams, J Edgefield, S. C. . ; Dear Mr. Adams: Mr. Finstfirour traveling Imm. Agt. has interview- < ed personally and by correspond- j ence a man in Patterson, N. J., who is anxious to start a small number of co-operating canneries in South Carolina. I might say Mr. Finster has investigated and found this man , to be a thoroughly practical expert along this line, and who means \ business. I ara writing you for in formation on the status of canned ( goods supply in your town. Also to ascertain if you have any truck - growers, farmers, or business men in your community who would be | interested in the establishment of a small cc operative cannery at your ? poin' .re going to try and estab- j 1' . number of these co operative "ories with a central ware house .nd selling point in the state. It is our intention to have utilized large ly surplus for canning. We are starting on February < 12th, a tour of about fourteen towns : in connection with this work. We ! hope to establish a factory requir- ? ing a small amount of capital at i each of these points. It is our inten- < tion to visit your town February 16th and meet your local men in i this proposition. Won't you give < this prompt personal attention and < interest as many growers and busi- \ ness men as r>ossible in this work; i calling a meeting definitely for the j above date at 11 a. m. I It is imperative that we get busy ? and get as large a representative body of men as possible to attend this meeting. You can see doubtless without my mentioning it that the season is rather late and it will re- 1 quire effort on our part to enable the grower and all interested to get the I most possible out of this undertak- 1 ing. Another thing, it is necessary i to get this started to allow plenty 1 of time for ordering seed and is- < suing instructions for handling of crops. For the best results it will ( be necessary to obtain certain va- ? rieties of vegetables and have these 1 distributed to all growers. By or- i ganizing co-operatively we will be i able to save considerable money for z the growers in obtaining supplies. ? Also impress upon peo.de you in- t terview, the fact that the growers, c being financially interested in the c proposition, will be the ones to benefit by co-operative buying. 1 Mr. Finster and myself intend to t attend these meetings having with f us where possible the expert man- i ner interested, also Com.

Cheatham left with his family last Saturday to make his home in Georgia.
