Mr. .T. C. Lewis, of Johnston spent Sunday in Endfield, worship ping with the Baptist congregation in the mornins: service. There will be an important ea'.led meeting.of the Civic League at the home of Mrs. R. G. Shannonhouse Monday afternoon at 8:30 o'clock. Master James Sharpton has gone to Columbia to serve as a page in the House. He filled this place last year and was very popular with the lawmakers. Miss Virginia Simkins left Mon dav for Columbia lo accept a posi tion in the engrossing department of the legislature. She will be in the capital city for six weeks. - Mrs. Agatha Abney Woodson announces the engagement of her daughter, Josephine Hayuswortb, to Mr. V\ alter Raleigh McDonald, the marriage to occur in February. Mrs. R. J. Parks of Augusta spent several days last week in Paraville with her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Warren. Mr. and Mrs War ran arp now keeping house in Parksville. When the question of commer cial . i iili/.t-rs I T 1916 is mention ed farmers seem to be completely "at sea." However, in" due season th ev will decide upon something definite, using probably all the "joanna" they can get. The regular meeting of the Wo\ man's Missionary Society of the Baptist church will be held at the church Friday afternoon at 3:30 -o'clock and those who have not handed in tbeir'Cbr?stmas envelopes can band them to the treasurer Fri day afternoon. The mild weather seems to be fa vorable fi?r the propagation of po litical germs. Already county poli tics is being talked. Mr. Nadie Cothran, the faithful court crier, is being uryed to run for the office of coroner, and it is probable that he will be a'candidate. While he has made no positive announcement to that effect, yet the impression prevails that Mr. W. G. Ouzts will he a candidate for sher iff in the campaign next summer. He was in town Monday shasing hands with his friends, being coi dial ly greeted by those|rliere as we! as friends who were here from different parts of the county. Dr. B. F. Jones left for Kentucky M ona.-iv to purchase a lot of choice mules and horses. By reason of bis] technical training and experience as a veterinarian. Dr. Jones is a splen did judge of livestock, which will enable him to buy to the best pos-] sible advantage. His horses and mules will arrive the latter part of this week or early next week. Dr. E. Pendleton Jones has come into possession of a goose and, judging from the way she makes | the welkin ring early every morn ing with her "qua." ''qua," she must be a suffragette after the most militant type. We are afraid this Inez Mulholland of the feathered tribe will indoctrinate all of the I other female fowls in Buncombe. Mr. L. Hunter of Oxford, N. C., spent a part of last week with Mr. M. S. Walker and Mr. H. W. Wal ker at their home six miles from Edgefield on the Abbeville road. Mr. Hunter is a praciioal jeweller and lived in Edgefield from 1877 to 1889. married Miss Octavia Har mon, a niece of Messrs. H. W. and M. S. Walker.

One morning little Mary hung about the kitchen continually, both ering the busy cook to death. The oook lost patience finally. "Clear out o' here, ye sassy little brat!" she shouted, thumping the rolling pin. The little gave the cook a haugh ty look. "I never allow any one but my mother to speak to me like that," she said. Laymen's Missionary Conven tion. The South Carolina Convention of the Second National Missionary campaign is to be held in Colum bia, S. C., February 6,7, 8, 9, 1916\ Since the fir?t National campaign, h*ild in 190^-1910, there have been many significant cha ges through out the universe. Just at this time practically the entire world, in power and in miaht, is engaged in devas tating war. Nation after nation is engaged in a death struggle, and hate stalks abroad. As these words are written, our United States of America is the only world power at peace with all nations; and, as a di rect result of this situation, we are facing, at home and abroad, the greatest opportunities for service ever presented to us. It is impor tant that the laymen of our State should assemble again to consider in a practicably and comprehensive way the general interests of the Kingdom to face the special oppor tunities confronting ns, and to plan to meet and faithfully discharge Our obligations to evangelize the world; in short, to "Enlist for World Ser vice." The purpose is threefold: Inform ation, inspiration and method. The object of the convention is to furnish information about the work we should do, to strengthen our convictions that we can do it, and to present methods by which it can be done. Men who are in closest touch with our missionary work at home and abroad will bring first hand inform ation from the field. Men who are grappling with the policies of ad ministration and methods will con tribute their thoughts and experi ences, business men of large means, who have made large investments in the extension of the kingdom, and men on small salaries, but with a high standard of stewardship, will join in the discussion. A provisional program will be an nounced through the press and dis tributed through the mails as soon as practicable. No effor: will be spared ?o secure the most effective missionary speakers available. Team "C," the designation-of the group of speakers of the South Car olina Conventioi-, will give special attention to denominational confer ences to be held in the afternoon of each day. In these meetings will be considered the main "objectives" of the missionary plans of the dif ferent denominations. These meet ings are meant to afford opportu nity for a definite presentation of denominational purposes and of plans for their realization. The sessions will be held in the auditorium of the Jefferson hotel, with overflow accommodations pro vided for in the Arsenal Hill Pres byterian church and the main street Methodist church, both of which are within a block of the conven tion auditorium. The convention will open on Sun day, February 6, 1916, at 3:00 p. m., and will continue through Wed nesday night. Every delegate should be present at all the sessions, if pos sible. While attendance at single sessions is worth while, the^ cumu lative effect of the program is lost by irregular attendance. The committee is planning defi nitely for the registration of three thousand men. No limitations are made on the representation of de nominations or of congregations, every denomination and every con gregation being entitled to as many delegates as desire to attend. The convention will be self-enter taining, each delegate being expect ed to provide for his own expenses. Arrangements will be made so that rooms may be reserved in advance at the lowest possible rates. Dele gates have the choice of hotels, boarding houses and private homes of persons willing to rent rooms during the convention. When pre ferred, rooms may be secured and meals had at restaurants or hotels. Visiting ministers and pastors will be entertained in the homes of the church people of Columbia and will not be charged a registration fee. The Virginia-Carolina Passenger Association has granted a round trip rate to the Convention of one and a third fare plus twenty-five cents. This is the same rate granted to the Southern commercial Con gress, and is the very best rate the railroads grant to any convention. Notice to Creditors! All pereons indebted to the late T. B.
