Southern Teachers' Agency, Columbia, S. C. Dragging Road of Great Benefit. Mr. Robert Parks, the capable town marshall, used a split-log drag on some of the streets last week very effectively. It accomplished about as much where the earth was loose as the road machine and was lighter, considerably lighter on the mules. While the spirit of co-ope ration is in the air let as many far mers as can afford to give the time drag several miles of public roads. The dragging that was given the road between Edgefield and Mr. D. B. HolJingsworth's, and also the road leading to Antioch has been of incalculable benefit. A Very Pleasant Occasion. Wednesday Ur. Frank Jones gave a private barbecue out on his plantation north of Edgefield and honored about (50 of his friends with invitations. He proved to be a most gracious host and his moth er, Mrs. Hettie Jones, who was present md added much to the oc casion was likewise a charming hos tess. The occasion was ideal, being suggestive of a large family re union. Everybod3* knew everybody else and the hours under the pines, poplars and sweetgums were spent most pleasantly. The table was fill ed to overflowing with barbecued meats, hash, tomatoes and other things that accompany such a feast. Near by was a bold spring of ice cold water flowing from the foot of a large poplar tree. Iced lemonade was provided bountifully and even body drank dozens of glasses Dr. Jones, knowing how gifted Norman Voungblood, the veteran chef, is in serving a barbecue din ner, engaged bira to prepare the splendid repast, and it was season ed and served in a manner that was fit for a kaiser or king. After everj body had partaken freely of the dinner there were many baskets full left, so Dr. Jones turned the table over to about 15 or 'JO of his farra hands and they enjoyed the feast to a degree that words can uot ex press. Soon after his friends had left the table and were seated in groups under the trees, in buggies and automobiles, Dr. Jones passed around Havana cigars that soon had the air laden with a fragrance or aroma that was pleasant to inhale. AU who were honored with invi tations are greatly indebted to Dr. Jones and his mother for their thoughtful kindness and Jhope that after another short year passes it will be their pleasure to gather aronnn Poplar spring for another great feast and several hours of de lightful social intercourse. Sunday at Stevens Creek Church. Following our custom of many years, that of attending at least the first day of the annual protracted meeting at Stevens Creek church, we spent Sunday among: those yooci people, enjoying the day immensely. Recently the members of the church made some improvements in the interior arrangement ol' the church. Two rooms have been constructed in the north end and the rostrum projected considerably forward, an extension tu tho platform being made on the east side to provide for the organ and choir. A modern baptistry has been constructed im mediately in the rear of the speak er's desk, the two rooms being used for dressing rooms when the ordi nance of baptism is administered. This addition or improvement was wisely planned and the workman ship is the best. So large is the building that suiHcient room has been left to seat thc large congrega tions that gather on special occa sions. The sermon was preached Sunday raorniiiir by the pastor. Rev. Henry Bell White of Saluda, who also serves Berea and Rocky Creek churches He is greatly beloved by the Stevens Creek dock. Air. White announced that Rev. W. C. Allen of North Augusta would ar rive Monday morning to do the preaching during the week. At the close of the sermon Mr. White announced tho death of Mr. Mouzon Dorn, stating that the fu neral would take place at McKen dee church at one o'clock and that he had been requested to conduct the funeral. Owing to this call or this request from McKendree, Mr. White announced that there would be no sermon in thc afternoon, but expressed thc hope that some of the laymen wouid conduct an afternoon service. At tho dinner hour everybody was invited to gather around the long table where the good old Stevens Creek hospitality was dispensed. A dinner which was almost limit less in quantity and variety was served in a manner that has won for the good people of Stevens Creek the reputation of being most charr ing hosts and hostesses. Suffered Three Years Without Minute's Ease. MRS. PILGRIM WOULD HAVE TERRIBLE AT TACKS NEARLY EVERY DAY. LIKE HORRIBLE DREAM. She Declares First Bottle of Taniac Completely Re lieved Her Had Been In Bad Health 10 Years. After suffering three long years without "a minute's relief" from stomach trouble, Mrs. Rena Pil grim, of 15 Harris street, Anderson, S. C., found complete relief in the lirst bottle of Taulac she took, ac cording to a statement she gave the Taniac representative. Her state ment follows: M suffered from stomach trouble, which caused continual pain for three years. I did not have a min ute's relief. I could not eat any thing, and I was so weak I could not do my housework. I had been in bad health for ten (l?) years, and my ailments had been very bad du ring the past five (?) years. "My nerves were all torn to pieces, too. Nearly every day for about nine months, and less fre quently during the two previous years, 1 would have terrible at tacks, nerves Lad something to clo with them, I suppose. These at tacks would continue an hour or longer and I would become uncon scious. Members of my family sev eral times thought 1 was dying, and I thought so myself. When these attacks wore off it seemed as if I had a horrible dream, and I would be too weak to sit up or talk, even, for two or three hours after the spells ended. Before I took Taniac I was so weak I could not do my my housework and I would have to go to bed three or four times and rest a short while during the time I was cooking each meal. I did not dare eat meat, and everything I ate would cause me terrible pains. I had tried so many medicines and had spent so much money with out getting relief that I had lost faith in medicine almost and had About lost hope of ever getting well again. I was persuaded to take Taniac, though, and when I began taking it I could not walk across the street. "Well, I am a well and happy woman now, and it is all due to Taniac. I do ray cooking, wash clothes occasionally, and go to town and anywhere I eire to, for my strength has been returned. The very first bottle of Taniac ended those terrible attacks and stopped the pain in my stomach. You can imagine how grateful I felt when I was freed of those pains after three long years of steady suffer ing. "Since I began taking Taniac I have taken two trips to Georgia to visit relatives. I never get tired now and I lind a lot of pleas ure in my housework. I am 4-r> years of age, but I am going around a lot now to.make up for the time I lost during the past (icu years. I can eat anything now and a i. i of it, and I never have indiges tion. "I am really a new and aa en tirely different woman now, so great has been the change since mj health was improved. I feel fine when I had t? lushed the second bot tle of Taniac, and I have not taken any in over a month. I bought six bottles at one time, but I ?rave one to a friend, and other members of ray family took thc rest. I took just two (2) bottles. "I sure can recommend Taniac, and I have persuaded a lot of my friends to take it. If you had seen rae before and after I took Taniac, you would say it hrs worked a real miracle for me. That is just the size of it; Taniac worked a miracle for rae." Penn it Holstein, Edgpfield; Johnston Drug Co., Johnston; J. W. Bracknell & Son, Plum Branch: E. P. Winn & Bro., Plum Braanch, R. F.

Saturday afternoon at two o'clock Mr Mouzon Dorn of the McKendree community passed away at one of the hospitals in Columbia, where he underwent an operation several days ago. His body was brought home Sunday morning and interred at McKendree Sunday afternoon about two o'clock, his pastor, Rev. M. M. Brabham, and Rev. H. B. White, pastor of Stevens Creek church, officiating at the funeral. The death of Mr. Dorn deprives the McKendree community of one of its best citizens, leaving vacant a place that can not be easily filled. He was a man of sterling qualities. He was thoroughly dependable. As husband, as father, as friend, as neighbor and as a citizen of the community he was without a peer. Evervbody had a kind word to say about Mouzon Dorn. He always attended strictly to his own affairs and never meddled with the busi ness of other people. He was an upright, God-fearing man whose life and example in the community was always helpful and wholesome. Mr. Dorn is survived by his wife, two sous, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Mouzon Dorn, and three daughters, Mrs. W. H. Timmerman, Mrs. Walter Manly and Mrs. F. P. Walker.
