to say that Bethel Baptist churCh will
be dedicated on the second Sunday in
May, the 14th, and that there will be
two sermons that day, with dinner
on the ground. The Rev. Vernon
I'Anson, of Columbia, will preach the
dedication sermon. All who contrib
uted to the building are expected to
be present. The public generally is
invited.
We were hurriedly called to the
Bank of Prosperity on Saturday to
see a great sight. On entering we
were marched up to the cashier's
desk and, lying on a sheet of paper,
we saw something it had never been
our pleasure to see before. There we
could no! stand and gaze at them
two 25-cent gold pieces. Mr. Wise.
knowing my liking for such
things, said he just wanted to show
them to me. They were coined in
1871. One was round with a milled
edge, the other 'octagonal. They were
brought to the bank by Mr. Oscar
Lovelace, of Mt. Pilgrim. There are
four of them in the family-Mrs.
Lovelace. Mrs. C,unts, Miss Lovelace

A number of the members of the v

last Friday to participate in the oi 1
ganization of O'Neall lodge. The r

zens of school district No. 14 on
Tuesday evening, May 2, to select a
board of trustees for the Prosperity

Judge Hair has been a close stu
dent of the columns of the Columbia
State, and Dr. Stanley's doses have
made an imp-tession on him, and he
sits in state and holds a "levee" nearly 9
every day, and the way he doses out c
the penalties to the unfortunates is a t
caution. It is no unusual thing for I
him to say that "The court, after hear- v
ing the evidence, sentences you to~pay
sixty dollars or go to the county in- e
stitution for 30 days to take a post r
graduate course in road building." n
The poor unfortunate usually goes to n
work at road building at the expense d
of the county. Two such cases went g
up to board with the county for 30
days last Monday. i.

storm and we didn't hesitate to haul
