the whole party tied to a place of

mad dog in the night time.

Lecture by I>r Tliornwcll
Kev. J. H. Thorn well, I). D.,
will deliver his celebiatcd lecture
<4A Country Parson Acros-s the
Water," under tho auspices of
the Ladies Memorial Association,
on Monday evening next at S
o'clock. Admission. Adults, 42f>
cents, children under 1*2, 1" cents.
The following are only a few
of the manv testimonials as to the
lecture:
Dr. Flinn of the South Carolina
College says: 1 1 have heard
Dr. Thornwell in the pulpit, in
the church court and on the lecture
platform, and in all of these
he is admirable and has many of
the best qualities in a .public
speaker. I heard him lecture on
tiis European trip and he kept mo
in an intellectual glow from uoginning
to end with his mingled
flow of wit, fancy, pathos, humor
and thought. Any audience that
hears Dr. Thornwell will he impressed,
cheered, stimulated, uplifted
by presentations of tieauty,
ma?le merry and helpod."
Raleigh News and Observer:
"Speaking fluently rapidly, he
gave us his trials of sea sickaess,
of inconvenience in railway traveling,
of awk wardness in the preaence
of nobility anil majesty, of
Weing bored in listening to long
mechanical speeches and sermons.
Humor bubbled and sparkled and
sunlight glinted everywhere.
Lawyers and Supreme Court Justices
and Ministers and old men
and maidens and old ladies, deacons
and elders laughed and just
kept on laughing for an hour and
a half."

VAN YV\CK ITEMS.
Farmers (ire pushing the planting
of their crops. Some complain
of the lands getting hard.
The locul showers make things
look lively, but more rain would
he very acceptable. Our red
lands begin to need it and seed
will not come up until there is
more moisture.
Our merchants have already
begun to ship in Western corn.
With our fertile lands and the
quantity of corn lands, we have
always been surprised at Western
corn being brought here to run
our farms. Wo know with a
little judgment and forethought
this could all be changed. We
have been farming since 1877 and
have our first bushel of Western
corn or baled hay to buy for our
farm supply.
i Rev. K K Mood went to the
I>istriet preachers meeting at
! Chester last Monday.
I Rev. Saddler will preach at
Reuluh church next Sunday morn,
ing nt 11 o'clock.
i
It seems that some of our people
get the appointment at Van
j Wvck church mixed. The regular
appointments are on the Second
and Third Sundays, in the morn
ing at 11 o'clock and on the
Fourth Sunday at II o'clock in the
afternoon. Kpworth League and
prayer meeting on Sunday and
Wednesday nights. Sunday school
one hour before each preaching
service and at 10 o'clock first
Sunday morning.
Masters Elwyn Stephenson and
Frank Heath of MVaxhaw, spent
Saturday with their friends at
Van Wyck.
Some of Osceola's fishermen
spent Monday on Catawba river
and Twelve Mile Creek with the
fisherman's usual luck.
Van Wyok cemetery was nice
ly cleaned off last Monday and
this much neglected spot, put in
a much more presentable shape.
Some more work will soon be
done on it and more interest will
lie taken in it hereafter by our
people.
Cedar Camp of the Woodmen
of the World has sent some of
lis unoppers out in the forest
unci felled some tine timber. TheV
are still searching for other acceptable
trees and a couple more
wili he t el led and introduced into
the mysteries of Woodcraft next
Thursday night. This camp seems
to have taken on new life and is
moving things around lively.
Their "Camp Goat," has gotten
pretty sassy from his long rest
and pretty hard to manage from
the unusual noiso he made last
Thursday night. Optimus.
