THE NEWS OF PROSPEPRITY. Old Folks Day at Grace.-Church Dedication.-Those "Undelight ful" Grade Crossings. Prosperity, April 7.-.An interest ing program has been prepared by Grace Sunday school for Old FoLks Day. As usual every one is invited to be present, whether or not you re ceive a personally addressed invita tion. Efforts are being made by the committee to secure the names of all those whose hair has grown white aind whose hearts have grown young in His service in this and adjoining communities. If you have a friend -who would like a special invitation, the superintandent, Mr. R. C. Counts, will gladly receive and note such names. The date will be announced in an early issue. Mrs. L. C. Merchant and children are visiting in Newberry. Mr. and Mrs. L M. Calhoun, of Columbia, are visiting at Wise Hotel. Mr. Geh:ehardt Bedenbaugh, one of our enterprising uptown merchants, recently purchased the Denxis prop erty im McNairy strt,L Mr. Oscar Matthews and his bride, of Ninety Six, visited Mr J. M. Werts' family last week, A game of ball was played Satur day between the highschool and Hart ford teams. Despite the large and enthusiastic number of "rooters" our la:ds carried along they were beaten by a score of 3 to 7. The dedicatory service of Grace .hurch will be held the first Sunday in May. Besides the president of synod several other visiting minis iers will assist in) the services. Mr. Frank Dorkins who has made zueh an accommodating salesman for the Prosperity Drng Co., has return Ed to his home at St. Luke's until the fall. His place has been filled by Mr. Keister Wheeler who is at home from tie Atlanta School of Pharmacy for the summer. Mr. 'and Mrs. S. J. Kohn went to Columbia Sunday. Mrs. Kohn is spending the week with Mr. A. H. Ko g's family. h. I, F. Littlejohn, of Union, spent the week end very pleasantly with friends wher. As we vmm botwling delightfully "iindelightfully'' over the mainy r'ailway crossings abetween here and Newberry we were discussing the pro posed chaging of the highway to one side of the railroad tracks. Being al,ways on the qui vive for news items we said, "Well, who are the ones in terested in this proposed change, any way ?'' The mana at the wheel promptly replied,'"Those who are most disinterested.'' He was speak ing from the standpoint of real es tate, we presume. Nevertheless we've been thinking what a delightful half hour's spin this road would afford if it were not for the dangers and bumps incident to these aforemen tioned crossings. Mr. Editor, aren't you and saveral other active men at the head of the Good Roads Ques tion? Asssuredly charity begins at home, if it does not necessarily have to stay there. If I were a voter, I'd always east my b'allot for those who try to make our .thoroughfares a lit tle more akin to the famous Appian Way at Rome. Some of us do not travel extensivily thro the country, bu.t when our friends do invite us to go driving or automobiling we'd like to 'have nothing -to do but entertain them from a conversational stand point. ~Mr. C. G. Barrier, one of our for mer citizens was in the city less week. I wonder 'how many of our read ers have had The pleasure of seeing Hal-ley's comet yet? We rose before th sun for that purpos on Monday morning but the clands prevented our eyes from ,beholding this wonder in spaee. However, we shall not let this one fainre cause us to be dis 'appointed or unbelieving but try again, if neceSSary. ~The Literary Sorosis was most pleaantly entertained by Miss Susie Langford on Tuesday afternoon. The club is 'in the habit 'of having an an nual meetin-g given over .to wit and Lhjamor, -and the results this time play ed havoc with the muscles -that make for laughter. The first thing on the program was -a round table "Hold ing the mirror up to nature.'' This reflected much light and many harm .less hits on the members. Miss K.ib ler, with apologies to Poe. but none to the club read a parody on " The Raven.'' Again the club, especially its impotency, were 'held up to view. Miss Kohn then read a voluminous, humorous prophecy of this partieular coterie. She amused all present at their own and others' expense and peal after peal of laughter greeted her sallies. After the 'business aind literary fea tures .were concluded very palatable ices and cake were served by little L. MI-ses Caro \yche and Susan Quat tlebaum. . Messrs. J. B. Setzler, R. M. Setz ler, Mrs. R.. H. Hipp and Miss Anni, Hatton, of Pomaria, were up shop ping yesterday. Mrs. D. M. Ward and Mrs. Ett: Blease of Newberry, are visiting Mrs B. B. 'Sehumpert.

Grace Sinday schobl will begii next Sunday at 4 instead of 3.30 y m. A sad, but not unexpected deat: occurred in the suburbs Tuesda: morning. Mrs. Rebecca Slaussen ha been very ill for ma-ny month; but now her troubles and ills ar over. for she is at rest in the Lan o' the Leal. Mrs. Slaussen was s well and favorably known that b many she was affectionately calle Aunt Beckie. Her nusband preced ed her to the spirit land <nearly fou years ago, and since then she has no been her wonted self. Mrs. SJ"usse: was Mis Reeves, of Richland coiunt; She was thrice married, first to M Jeff Hair, then to Mr. David Kible aind lastly to Mr. Slaussen. She i survived by her two sons Messr Bascom and William Hair. During her long and tedious ill.nes she was most lovingly ministered t by her relatives and friends. Th devotion of her .cousin, Mrs. Eliz Nunnamaker, of Columbia, has bee very tender and touching. She ha devoted the last two ye.ars to her sei vice. The funeral services were eonduci ed by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Morris and Vb. interment took place at th Prosperity cemetery. A Helpful .Suggestion. "I tried to get a chanee to spea to you at church Sunday,'' said Mr' Oldastle, "but the erush was s great that I couldn 't push throug to where you were.'' "Yes, wasn't it aw&ual?'' rep.lie her hostess as she flicked a bit C dust from the Gobeliin tapestry. "A the common folks in town seem t want to crowd into our church latel: It's too hbad they ain't satisfied t stay wheer they 'belong. How di you like the sermon?' - Well, as a sermon it was faide good, but I do wish Dr. Goodmna would quit splitting his infinitives. try not to let it make me nervou but I can't keep from .being shocke every time he does it.'' "I nxever let them kind of thing bother me, but that's where i Episcopals have the advantage of u If our praher would wear a loi robe he could split them and you' never notice it.'

I The committee in charge of the entertainment for the Baraca-Phila thae u:nion has been endeavoring to 1 secure a list of the delegates who are expected ot attend the conven tion and while it is a rule of the convention that delegates shall pay their own board ,bill, it has been. neo - essarv to secure homes for them. About two hundred names have been sent in and the committee on entertainment has assigned these del -'egates to the homes of this comiur. . ty. A list of the homes together with the names of the delegates who , will be entertained therein, is given herewith. Those of our people who expect to meet the delegates at the station are t requested to take them at once to the chamber of commerce where' i they will register aid receive their - badges.

No one answered for a time, but at last some one mentioned "Great weather for ducks," as being worth while for a leader. The barber supply man spoke up: " 'Got my hair cut -to-day,' I said to a friend. "Why, don't you get them all cut ?' he replied. Seems to me that rwith all the new hair-cuts in a day in Chicago, and all the fool friends of .t'he iair cutees, this joke would be pretty well worn. Let's give, it the crown.'' The man with the happy face and tho red nose to m'ention the bartend er, who invariably inquired: "Have it wrapped up?'' when you ordered two fmngers of rye. It was received in silenee. They alt drank rye and remembered the noise. The man who says, "Good-by, old chap; don't take~ any wooden mon y,'' was inext reviled. Then comes the prize idiot, who gives you a kick between the shoul ters with his fist, and shouts, "See your back again,'' grinning vacuouS ly meantime. The elevator man, who hiad stop ped to listen to the stories between his tricks on the car, had been standing,on one leg and then the other, nervously 'biting the stem of his .pipe. One of the crowd noted his excitement. "What's your?'' he w.as asked. " This is where I get even for ten years' injustice,'' exploded the ele vator chauffeur. "Without one sin gle doubt in the world, I am the fall guy for the dumbest hard-working mn ever stood for. TQ cap it all, it is shoved at me hot and cold ev ery day in the month, and every month in the year. "Every man who gets on an ele vator after some successful deal, or has the taste of some well-milked drink tickling his palate, hands it to me. Stenos, office boys, clerks, sales men-every one, in fact-ladies it out, and each and every rum among them .thinks it's brand new.'' "For heaven's sake, what is it? Give it to us quick! "iThe elevator man certainly has his 'ups and downs,'' almost yelled the conductor. "That's the only joke that drives elevator men to drink, and if there is any prize given in this contest, I win 'em all. " There are about 800 elevator men ip Chicago, and I know, from tn yjae' actual ,eaeience, 1dat that durn fool poke, moss and all, 3s cracked five .times a day in the pres ene of each and every elevator man in Chicago. "That means 4,000 times a day, 20,000 times a month, and 1,440,000 times a year! If that ain't a record for one poor measly, moth-eaten joke I'll eat it.''
