"Please explain the damage done to land and crop by plowing when too '. wet." A clayey soil plowed when wet will dry hard and will be cloddy all sum mer and hard to work. The clods will.; keep the soil to open to the air that it ? will dry out faster than if well pul- ; verized. Then xhe hard clods cannot 1 be utilized by the plant roots and the food is locked up. Never plow land when it slips shiny from the mold board. Plow when it crumbles easily and when grasped in the hand will fall apart when released. Soil in that1 condition can be finely pulverized1 with a harrow immediately after plowing and will be easily worked all summer and more productive because the roots of the plants can get at the j, food, and the soil moisture will be diffused through the soil and held , there by . proper cultivation.-Pro-1, gressive Farmer. Cut This Out and Take it With You. A man often forgets the exact name of the article he wishes to pur chase, and as a last resort takes some thing else instead. That is always dis appointing and unsatisfactory. The safe way is to cut this out and take it with you so as to make sure of get ting Chamberlain's tablets. You will find nothing quite so satisfactory for constipation and indigestion. Missionary Meeting at Berea. Thi! meeting of the first division of mission societies at Berea on Satur day was a great success from a view point of interest. Four societies out of the seven Woman's Societies were |1 represented, and the reports showed that in spite of the unpropitious win ter, the work was on the consciences '\ of the women, even though they i could not meet regularly. n Mrs. W. B. Cogburn, division pres- i ident, was in charge and Miss Hor- ;] tense Padgett acted as secretary. ;< Rev. Mr. Wells of Mountain Creek ' conducted the devotions and after 1 the roll call and responses from del- h egates, an account of the Baptist (1 Convention was given by Mrs. D. B. j] Hollingsworth. j] Mrs. J. L. Mims spoke on the Stan- ( c dard of Excellence. |i A beautiful vocal duet was given 1 by Mrs. A. B. Carwile and Mrs. R. G Lee. At the dinner hour the ladies of i i Berea had furnished a sumptuous ( repast. It looked like the good old t times before the war and some one j said no people could ever make such i ?ood pies as those who live at Berea. j The afternoon session was in f charge of Mrs. Tillman, the secre- ( tary calling the roll of Y. W. A.'s, j a. A.'s, R. A.'s and Sunbeams. The latter responded with songs ar recitations, little Almina Swear ngen giving the welcome.

The original idea of an evening de voted to the young students of our county was that all of our young men and women should thus be enabled io keep the touch with the home folks, with our county as the unit. There are young people who grow jp and go to college or are students ind who secure positions or are mar ried in other localities whose attain nents the people of the county at arge never know. It has been said re :ently, that the great Bishop Mc Tyeire of the Methodist church was jorn in Edgefield county, but he .vent away and the place of his na ;ivity is not known. There was no op ?ortunity to link him in everlasting nemory with all the people of his :ounty, so that they might enjoy his ipward progress and help to speed lim on. The women's organizations of Sdgefield hope to institutionalize this dea of a students' entertainment >ach summer and thus introduce to he general public all the young peo )le with their varied accomplish nents. Last year the W. C. T. U. held the irst students' entertainment in the )pera House and everybody was )leased. Last year they were all 'oung ladies, because our country vas at war. This time the Daughters )f the American Revolution have de eded to supervise an entertainment vhich will take place the evening of Tune 26, in the Opera House and they lope to have all the students from olleges for men and women. There ire in our county, sixty-two stu lents attending colleges and Univer ities. ' Mrs. Tillman has taken much care o secure this list by correspondence ind otherwise, and it is possible there nay be others whose name has not ?een secured. If so, let some friend >r relative or the students themselves lotify Mrs. Tillman, Regent of the Cdgefield D. A. R. at once, as plans ire in progress for the ? rtainment. Everybody is i; -ted in the ?oung people of county, and hould come and what they do, en ourage them I the subject of edu ation. Thc;, should induce all the ?oung people to attend who are not tudents, that they may become timulated with a proper ambition o undertake similar accomplish ments. All students who have Esprit de ^orps, all who have any college pride ir loyalty should come and represent heir alma mater. If you are the only tudent in Edgefield county from ?h ' nstitution of learning, it is all the nore incumbent on you to come and ie the representative of the school vhich has been your choice. If there re a dozen from your county in the chool you attend, see that all are (resent to prove its popularity and he reasonableness of it to the public. it any rate, come when you are call id upon to be present and take part vith the sixty-one other students vhose names follow. The admission to this entertain nent will be 50, 35 and 25 cents and viii be used for a purpose for which verybody in our county will be re oiced to give, a memorial tablet for iur dead heroes lying in Flanders fields. This tablet will be erected on he Edgefield Court House. Our people will be given a happy , .pportunity to contribute to this :ause, and will be rewarded by hav ng the tablet erected and at the same ime encourage the cause bf educa ion and see more beauty and chival ry together than they ever saw be 'ore, the sons and daughters of their ?eighbors and friends and their own ?ons and daughters, wearing their prettiest and most becoming apparel ind actually doing the things they lave studied at college. Just before the entertainment, the itudents will be served with an out loor luncheon at the home of Mrs. Warnie N. Tillman, this luncheon to je served by the young peoples' so neties of the churches of Edgefield. MRS. J. L. MIMS. NOTICE!
