Tucker, Editor Subscription Price - $1.00 Entered as second class mail matter at the post office at Pageland, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3,1879. January 3, 1917 We hope every farmer in this sectioh will attend the agricultural meeting and free barbecue here next Monday, January 8th The Seaboard and Chesterfield and Lancaster railroads are fur nishirg the speakers and the rations. Can't this section furnish the listeners aod eaters? Mr. E. C. Bagwell, general manager of the Seaboard; B. L. Ham ner, general development agent; W. Egleston, superintendent of the Southern Express company; H. T. Prosser, assistant develop* ment agent; T. S. Evans, agri cultural agent, and C. Lane, general manager of the C. & L. are all expected to be present, and thev will have something of real worth to say to farmers and prospective farmers. The purpose of the meeting is to show the farmers of this section the advantages of growing cantaloupes and watermelons for market in connection with the other crops grown. Farmers in other sections are making mon ey from these crops. These men say we can do the same. Will you come out and hear them? Peace is not yet. President Wilson asked the nations at war to state definitely what they are fighting for and what would he necessary to end the war. Ger many made reply, but evaded the issue, asking however for a to discuss terms of ^^^^olfe^nhis time, claimm^^^ff Germany is insincere and only makes this move as a war ma noeuvre. Several other neutrals have signified a desire to aid President Wilson in an effort to bring peace. The rejection of the German offer by the Allies does not crush the hops of peace npomtiatinnc nnd ! > ? ^?:ii ? uvt,v.?u>.uud, unu iiicic is ami u chance that a way will be found to bring about an agreement. At this time, however, there seems to be little chance of peace so long as the armies are deadlocked. A decisive campaign must be waged before terms of peace will be considered with a real desire for ending the struggle. The Allies seem * confident of ultimate victory, and Germany must accept their terms or continue to fight, Ger many has had about enough, and is willing to concede far more than at any time during the war, but still not enough to cause the Allies to quit. Germany must lick the Allies or grant their demands. The form er she is unable to do, and the latter she is unwilling to do. And the fighting goes on.

The writer saw Mr&"t^atfa?e Saturday and she said sine' hif A cooked nothing since. n! r>ig r,aier. Pigg?Plyler One ot the prettiest weddings of lhe season took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Plyler at Dudley, S. CM on Sunday, Dec. 24th, at three o'clock, when their daughter. Miss Edith Fannie, became the bride of Mr. J. Raymond Pigg. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. B. S. Funder burk of Chesterfield in the presence of a number of friends and relatives ot the bride and groom. After the ceremonv a bountiful supper was served in the dining room, which was elabo rately decorated for the occasion. After spending the night at the bride's home, the bridal party drove to the home of the groom where a bountiful dinner was served. The bride is beautiful and ac complished and numbers her friends by her acquaintances, she has taught school for the past two years. The groom is a prominent young farmer and has a host ot friends throughout North and South Carolina.?A ^rierd. Of all the crooked faces human beings ever carried about the face ot the fellow who makes half a dozen or more trips to the express office lor his Christmas liquor and is turned away emptv handed again is perhaps the crookedest. His anxious iace changes to one of a woe be gone expression, and he goes away downcast and a cussin'. The Chtistmas orders were too much for the express companies, and hundreds of packages were delayed until after Christmas, some r\ f tliom n o 1n4/\ ?? .J ? v/ & ftuviu no IUIC Ud O'dlUIU'dy. One man is known to have made seven trips to get his gallon, and others probably made even more. They were here from all points and parts of Union county. Some spent ten or twelve dollars for auto hire to secure the stuff, and then didn't get it until'after Christmas. It is stated upon good authority that more liquor was delivered from the express office here to residents of Nort Carolina than to citizens of this^ State The quart every fifteen days is only a drop in the bucket for many them. ' vjitf-iui Mr. T. D. Hendricks vtfi* recently moved from , eastern North Carolina to hrrfarm four miles east of Pageland, has the right idea as to road building. He has straightened the road bv his home, and ploughed it up with a two horse plow. Then it was smoothed and rounded with a road drag. When this packs he proposes to clay it. A good many other farmers in the sand hill sections would do well to follow Mr. Hendrick's example.
