Mary r Goodlette spent last week with her c sister, Mrs. J. W. Caldwell. I Misses Mary Cromer and Willie C May Shannon and Master Philander c Cromer spent Sunday at Mr. A. C. I Sligh's. Our rural mail route. with Mr. c Thomas Chalmers as carrier, is giving e entire satisfaction. The trustees and patrons of Crom- h er school gave the children holiday Wednesday. The patrons, the child ren, the teacher and family spent the day on Indian creek. The men caught a a number of nice fish which were pre- d pared and served with the picnic din ner. The crowd had a pleasant day and the smiling faces and good ap petites of the children assured that they had been made happy. t The Ladies' Missionary society met h at Beth Eden Saturday. The meeting c was well attended and passed pleas- t antly. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Jeter visited Mr. t B. H. Caldwell and family recently. The trustees of the school at Crom ers have furnished the school wit new desks, much to the delight of teacher and pupils. Every effort should be made to have the school room comfortable, for "much study r is a weariness to the flesh." In the quiet, peaceful country. with its pure c air, surrounded by nature and away e from temptation. is a good place for f the youth to grow in body, mind, and soul. Ours is a day of education. People in the country should awaken and send their children to school reg- t ularly, for since education means ti growth it is a slow process. Let's do c what we can for the children. They must hold the reins of government when we have passed the river. C Mrs. Mary Renwick, no-w in her f eighty-seventh year, visited her grand t son. Mr. T. B. Carlisle, and family. on Monday. Mrs. Renwick is in many respects a wonderful woman. How vividly she relates the facts of the forties and how fearless she speaks of the future. Nita. -BEER DISPENSARIES. State Board to Grant Hearing to All t .nterested in Their Le gality., c s Columbia, April 13.-The state ~ board of dispensary directors has de cided to grant a hearing to all parties" interested in the test case as to the ' legality of beer dispensaries. Some months ago it was published that the t legality of the board's action in grant- 2 ing beer permits would be tested in the courts. Since then, however, it has t' been decided to bring the matter upi before the board first. The whole question hinges on what constitutes "premises." It is held by some that a dispensary, simply having an ad joining room for drinking purposes, is a violation o the lak. This is taken on the ground that the adjoining room is on the premises. The hearing will take place on April 24. When you hear a man praising hisI neighbors it's doughnuts to fudge he wants to sell his house. When a man really knows God he always rejoices at the prospect of a -chance to give. RINGS AND DOINGS OF PROSPERITY PEOPLE t )EATH OF A MOST ESTIMA ABLE LADY.

When the fire occurred on the remises of the Thornwell Orphan ge, on the 4th of November last, iere were hard times for a while )r two hundred orphan children. 'hey had neither pantry nor store ouse, and had "Oid Mother Habbard one to the cupboard" she would a-ve found that the cupboard was not are; it was gone! All the pickles nd preserves and dried fruit and oth r supplies fixed up in the summer r winter use, were gone up in moke. And in addition, all the flour nd meal and rice and bacon and sug r and molasses and vinegar and tea nd coffee had been food for the de ouring flames. There was not even kitchen left, much less a storehouse; ut the people, (God bless the peo le, their hearts are always, right), rell, the people came to the rescue nd now we have completed and are .ady to open a handsome new build ig, ioo feet one way by 65 the other. t is covered with tin and it took fif squares to cover it. The floors of itchen and dairy are of the best ce ient; the walls are of 4brick laid in ement. It has been furnished with inges and stoves. The Majestic. ange company of St. Louis gave us -splendid range and two portable akers. But it woefully lacks some iing! There is not a dust of meal or a grain of rice nor a cruise of oil or a pound of sugar,-there is noth g in the storehouse. Why not even mouse thas gone there to hunt his inner; nor a fly is looking out for e pickings! And yet on that store ouse 250 children with their teacher re dependent for their daily bread. It is time for a house-warming! .et us have it. What have you at and that you can send. Do not wait yr a committee to call on you or a reacher to get after you. The third reek of April is our reception week. verybody will be at home.. If you et your gifts sent in ,that. week it ill not be too late. Somebody asks, What are the children going to dax 1l then for something to eat?" If ou are the one yrho asks, we will. ist say that there are fifty two re eption weeks at the Thornwell or hanage, but the third week of April Sreception week in particular. It is o commemorate the fire and to make .s feel glad that once more we have kitchen and a dairy and all the rimmings that go alonig. with them. )o not forget. Send 'something every ody! Fill up that storehouse for nce. It is a right 'good sized room .nd there is no danger of over-crowd God bless you,, dear friend, and nay He put it into your hearts to nake glad the fatherless. Send provisions in barrels and oxes to Thornwell Orphanage, Clin ton, S. C., and cash to Rev. Win. P. Tawdbs Clnton,.S. C.
