He is a strong, pleasing speaker and is preaching some searching sermons. He is also a good singer. The dry weather which has lasted about six weeks has damaged crops very much in this section.

The Five Forks section has probably suffered nore than any other section near Pageland. Cotton is beginning to open in manv places, and the crop will be light unless rain comes at once. Mr. Sidney M.
