The cotton market at Pageland
has attracted quite a little
attention this fall, and much
cotton from Union county has
been marketed here. This has
been done only in a limited way
since the days when B. M. Bruce
made things lively by holding
the cotton market up. The
Union county farmers are pretty
shrewd when it comes to buying
or selling, and the fact that they
are coming long distances to sell
at Pageland is evidence enough
that this pnarket is a good one.
^
A lyceum attraction is coming
to Pageland at an early date, and
we desire to see it well attended
A number of patriotic citizens
have guaranteed a certain sum
in order that the people may
have an opportunity to attend
really high class entertainments
rather than the kind they used to
have here. It is the duty of
each of us to patronize these
undertakings, and make the
burden of the guarantor as light
as possible. No. We are not
one of them, and we have no
financial interest in the matter.
We are not asking you to help
us out of a hole. Attend the at
tractions of the lyceum because
you need to.

Mr. H. H. Evan* Dead
Mr. Henry H. Evans died at
his home here about 8-30 Wednesday
night of dropsy. He had
been in failing health for Several
months, and his death was
not entirely unexDected. The
funeral, .was conducted bv Rev.
J. W. Elkins at Rose Hill church
Thursday afternoon and concluded
at Zion, where the bodv
was buried.
The following sons and daughters
survive: G. F., P. H. and
R. V. Evans, of this countv, and
John B. Evans, of Moore county-,
N. C., Mrs. J. A..Nicholson, Mrs.
H. J. Adcock ana Mrs. Lem
Robertson. His second wife,
and one sister, Mrs. Mary A.
So well, survive also. Mrs. Hennie
Watts deceased was a daugh
ter.
Mr. Evans was between 74
and 75 >ears old, and was a
member of Rose Hill M. P.
church. He was a confederate
soldier, having served in Company
I, 1st S. C. Infantry during
the four years of the war. He
was of a cheerlul disposition,
and until a short while before
his death was jolly and ready
for fun at any time. He had a
strong constitution, and bore the
weight of years well. He fre
quently talked of his prospects
for a better world and expressed
confidence that all would be
well when the final hour should
come. He realized that the end
was near, but showed no fedr of
death.
Mr. Evans was a native of this
section where he spent most of
his life, and he was well known
j over the county.
Mt. Moriah Items
Messrs. D. P. Home and A. B.
Mills attended the Union Baptist
association at old Waxhaw Baptist
church last week as delegates
from Mt. Moriah church. They
report a splendid session of the
association. The next session
of the association will be held
"with MiiTCreek churchy WedneSr
day, Thursday and Friday before
the second, Sunday in October
1917.
Mr. John Richardson, Jr. has
been quite sick but is better.
Cotton is opening a little slow
in this section. Perhaps half
the crop is open.
Prayer meeting each Sunday
night at Mt. Moriah is still doing
well. A cordial invitation is extended
to all who are in reach
to attend Sundav School and
prayer meeting. P.
The Confused Juror.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A Cleveland lawyer tells how
during a trial one of the jurors
suddenly rose from his seat and
fled from the courtroom. He
was, however, arrested in his
flight before he had left the
building and brought back.
"I should like to know what
you man by such an action as
this," said the judge, in a lenient
tone, however, as he knew the
man, an alderly German, to be
a simple, straightforward person.
"Veil, your honor, I will explain,"
said the juror. "Ven Mr.
Jones finished mit his talking
mv mind vas clear all through,
but ven Mr. Smith begins his
talking 1 get all mix^d up again
already, and I says to myself, 4I
better leave at vonce, und stay
away until he is done,' because,
your honor, to tell the truth, I
didn't like de vay der argument
was going."
The first and most wonderfui
babv in the world was in the
Hopkins household. He had
reached the age when he could
coo, an accomplishment which
he indulged in most of the time.
"He is the most welcome visi
tor 1 ever had,'" announced the
proud mother. "He just lies and
talks to me by the hour."
"Isn't that lovely?" agreed the
caller. "So unlike most visitors
?they just talk and lie to you by
the hour."

An old darky, with an old
gray mule hitched to a ramshackle
wagon, stood on the incline
of a steep hill one cold day
in January. The old man huddled
in his rabbit-skin cap, and
the mule shivered with the cold.
"Why don't you move on,
uncle?" inquired a passer-by, attracted
by the strange out fit and
wondering why the darkey was
waiting.
The old man pointed a trem
bling finger at his team and re
plied; "'Cause dis yere mule
won't go 'lesB Ah whistle at him,
an' it's so cold Ah cyarnt whistle.
