Recently, five carloads of pure fish scrap were unloaded here to scores to the farmers, this product being something entirely new for them.

Mrs Ivey was one of the earliest residents of this place, coming here from Winston, N. C.. with her hus band. Capt. John R. Ivey. She was a woman of much intel lect and talent, and was of the old school of the type of polished, refined and cultured women. She was a writ er of meric, and her non-de-plume was "Daisy Dean." The productions of her pen have brought great pleas ures to numbers, her chief produc tions being popular fiction, plays and articles on current* events. During her days ot' activity, she was always identified in everything that was for the good of the town. She was a pioneer worker of the W. C. T. U., and what she has done in interest of this, has been of lasting good. She was a member of the Meth -odist church and was faithful to it, and was always found in her pew as long as her health permitted About three years ago she became so feeble, she went to stay a while with her daughter, Mrs. Schnell, but was never sufficiently strong to re- j turn. Her children were devoted to her, and every attention and luxury was given her that she might be happy and comfortable. Although so far away, the other two living children, Dr. Hugh Ivey of Atlanta and Mr. Preston Ivey of Columbia, made visits to her when she wanted to see them. The. loving care of her daughl er. Mrs. Schnell, was beautiful. The funeral services were conduct ed on Friday morning by Rev. Kel lar of the Methodist church in th home and later thc body was tender ly laid to rest beside the grave of he husband, two sons, John and Rains ford being buried here also.

January 16, 1919. iDear Advertiser: j1 Down on the lower Fenway, a park :n Boston, is situated a school named h)r the great Leland Powers. I am at this school. One of the other students pd I were discussing the other clay +n this particular before I came, I saw the words "Beauty,, Truth, Power." I did not know then exactly what was meant ?by them. They clo not remain on thc 'outside however, but find their way into the truthful, beautiful and .forceful presentation of our art of I the spoken word. Yet more than that, ?they show themselves in the minds, the hearts and the actions of the fac ulty. I came to the school to learn what I love, expression. 1 hope I shall re imain for* even a bigger and better 'reason-to learn to interpret the best 'that there is in life, from good litera ture to anyone I may read to. ! There is such a spirit of good will ?and good fellowship that the new 'student feels at home and the old ! student feels like the member of a big family. I The building is indicative of lofty ?thought with its pictures and statu ary. There is room enough and love ?enough for all, and what we want is time enough-a lifetime, in which to j appreciate our school. Three cheers Ifor the Leland Powers School! ? Florence Minis. To the Dyspeptic. Would you not like to feel that j your stomach troubles are over, that :you can eat any kind of food that you crave? Consider then the fact that Chamberlain's Tablets have cu rtd others-why not you. There are many who have been restored to health by taking these tablets and ican now eat any kind of food that I they crave. Uncensored. "I can not tell you where I am," wrote a British soldier to his family. "I am not allowed to say. But I ven ture to state that I am not where I was, but where I was before I left to go where I have, just come from." Thc Argonant. A Faithful Army. May the Lord bless the faithful mail carriers! They brighten many a home these cold, dreary days by car rying to their very thresholds, every morning, something new and fresh to read. It may rain, hail, sleet - and snow, but in the splash of mud and ice, this army of humanity-blessers never fail nor falter. And whatever j- . -_ miles? Let us not think that the fierr engaged in army service and border duty are the only ones who are serv I ing their country. This army of car j riurs is likewise rendering service of inestimable value. Be kind, courteous j and thoughtful to your mail carrier. I He earns all he gets for serving you. , Has it ever occurred to you that a hot cup of coffee or chocolate with a .hot buttered roll handed to him with ?a smile about the noon hour, would' ! cheer his spirits and quicken His cir-1 Iculation these cold chilling days'; It' ?would make the blood in his veins . How like quicksilver, singing to him the sweet song of life; and then you [would feel better too, and something! would softly whisper deep down inj your soul saying: "Inasmuch as ye I ' have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto ! me." Let your mail carrier know that ! you appreciate his faithfulness, j Scores will .rush in to tell him of al leged short-comings. Sa you hand ; him a rose, while others may prick j him with a thorn. And say with the poet: "Teach me to feel another's ?woe, to hide the fault I see; that mer cy I to others show, that mercy show to me." J. Russell Wright. I - ' j American's Candy Capacity Shocks Britisher j London, England, Jan.-An Amer- ? ican soldier's capacity for chocolates is a never ending source of wonder to the Britisher; a wonder that has just 'been given additional stimulus by a contract the Y. M. C. A. has closed to take over a factory to manufac ture 300 tons of chocolates in Eng land every month. Up to date the Red Triangle has been importing "about 150 tons a month, which was insuf?i cent to satisfy the sweet tooth of the doughboy. \ TRENTON NEWS. P/?any Delegates Attend Aspar _ agus Growers' Association. _ Influenza in Full Forced . D. A. R. Meeting. The town of Trenton, which is lit tle more than a collection of minia ture farms, with the residences of men who own larger, outlying farms n-ottinir ?rjtp the bustle of th? " I farming interests. The asparagus growers of this sec tion aro looking, to their interests; and a large delegation attended the annual meeting of the South Carolina Asparagus Grower's Association that met at Wiiiiston on Monday of last week.

M. Swearingen, I. A. Webb. Mrs. L. C. Kidson and Miss Ruth Salter. That some ladies should have gone was quite appropriate as the ladies of Trenton have, from the beginning, taken keen ?n.erest and an active part in the profitable work of asparagus growing. With the exception of the! above, little out of the ordinary was, on in our town the first part o week excepting sickness. Many of "fla" developed, but these, I sup pose should be called the ordinary e vents. Some or those to "pass un der the rod" were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Moss. Messrs. Wallace and George Wise, Henry Wise and his daughter, Miss Flossie; .Miss Lola Hunter, Mr. I. A. Webb and his daughter, Miss Cornelia Webb, and no doub. of whom your correspondent'has heard. That highly esteemed lady. Mrs? Manget, has been a weary sufferer for weeks from that painful disease known as "shingles." She shows as yet, no sign of improvement. On last Friday afternoon, the Mis sionary Society of the Methodist church held its regular monthly meet ing at the home of Mrs. W. W. Mil ler. The Baptist ladies, though , " ?r bially fond of water, did not prove it on this particular afternoon. The el above,, ; o-OjJ iUISS Mrs! (Continued cn Page Eight.)
