Along the northern portion of ^ Massachusetts, large icicles were 0 pendant and the foliage of the forest trees was blasted by the frosts. u In Williamstown, Mass., the snow was twelve inches deep on June 8, and in Sl Cabot, eighteen inches. ^ Joseph Walker, a old gentleman of eighty-eight years, lost himself in the woods at Peacham in the snows< storm on the night of the seventh and remained there through the night, his feet becoming so severely frost bitten ^ that it was necessary to amputate one of his great toes. ^ \f o nxr wl /v v?

There should be in every well reg- r ulated town a society for the preven- a tion of cruelty to animals. ^ Our town is badly in- need of such a society. ? There is ample law on the statute books for the prevention of such cru- s elty, but what is everybory's business ^ is nobody's business, and as a conse- \ quence there are numerous violations of this law which are never punished, j. It is no uncommon sight for a crip- ^ pled horse or mule to be seen on the j streets which is wholly unfit for work, and these animals should either be q killed, or their owners should b^ com- j pelled to have them 1 treated by a c competent veterinarian, where there 0 k hope of permanent improvement. ^ Stock is frequently brought to town, q and is hitched in some lot, where it is r forced to remain sometimes an entire c day and far into the night without a c drop of water, or a bite to eat. Dur- j j ing the heated term an animal thus s treated suffers untold agony, and the t people responsible therefor should be j. punished. In many towns and cities ^ in the country, members of the soci- c ety for the prevention of cruelty to r animals look out for such cases and ^ when they are found they have the ^ animals taken to a feed stable, where + c they are fed and watered at the own- j er's expense, and he is warned that ^ .r XL _ _ r** Mil * * ii me onense is repeated, ne will De j j. prosecuted and punishment imposed. We were told by a responsible citi- j ( zen, that during the progress of the j ( Haggard meeting he saw a mule l ^ which was hitched four hours at a j time, without food or water, and yet j ^ the owner professed to be deeply ex-; ^ ercised over the effect which he was , ^ deriving from the meeting.

The re jorts show that bond issues proposec 'or future road and street construc ion increased $18,824,750 in Ma> ?ver those reported in April. Amonj he localities reported interested ii igihway development during May wa* dewberry county, with a bond issu< >f $200,000 for county roads anc >ridges reported as sold.

Bond issue: -oted for roads in May amounted t( 35,224,400, while those voted ir Lpr:l were $50,815,518?a decrease or May of $15,591,058. The tota alue of road bonds reported sold for lay amounted to $32,135,936?a de rease of $1,236,224 over the sales i April. This is due to- the fact hat a majority of the bond elections re held in the early spring: or the late all. That street construction fared reltively better than road building in fay, is indicated by the t'ai-t that pro osed bond issues reported for that urpo?e amounted to $8,720,300 in lay ?an increase of $1,902,750 evr the $6,817,550 reported the month efore, and bonds voied amounted to 10,119,582,?an increase over the 8,036,132 reported in April, of $2,83,450. Bonds actually sold for treet construction, however, decreasd from the ?8,581,361 reported in ipril, to $6,8.62,847 in May,?a drop f $1,718,514. West Virginia, with $16,225,000 ?d the states in May in proposed road ond issues reported. Florida was econd With $3,250,000 and Iowa was aird with $3,000,000.

I: MUCH PROGRESS MADE i T>vr um V TDIMITV r^UT ror'XJ 1 L) 1 nui^ 1 11X1112 1 1 UllV/lWAl ; - I Holy Trinity congregation was or: ganized January 1, 1891, with 34 charter members, the Rev. J. K. Efird 1 being the pastor that perfected the t organization. The Rev. S. L. Nease j served as pastor from June, 1892, to ^ November, 1895. January 1, 1896, r Dr. A. G. Voigt began to serve as a ^ supply, and continued till December, ^ when Rev. H. P. Counts accepted a call to become regular pastor, serv ino- far thvpp vpnis 4t this time Rev. S. L. Nease accepted a call and 1 again served the congregation for e . two years. '' Following Rev. Nease, the Rev. J. K. Etird a second time served as pastor for a period of nearly four years. The Rev. J. K. Efird having resigned, to take effect May 15, 1905, the Rev. O. B. Shearouse accepted a call beginning to serve as pastor July 15, 1905, serving till July, 1912, when T T T r?ntr 1 nf't)Y\T n t?nr1 its still serving the congregation. ^ To illustrate the harmony tha+ a? : isls between pastor and people, a: a '> meeting of the council on the l(>th of ? April, 1922, the idea having origint ated at a meeting of the brotherhood, - the matter of cancelling the church 5 debt was agitated, resulting in the y appointing of a committee to arrange > for a congregational meeting or. the first Sunday in May, for the purpose of raising $1100.00 to cancel church n debt. On completing the congregat tional meeting, it was found that n $1750.00 had been raised, cancelling \ I the entire debt of church and light equipment. At its organization, the council consisted of three elders and two deacons, then in 1893 the number was increased to six elders and six deacons. At the present time the council consist? of 16 members, eight elders and eight deacons. In the summer of 1902, the original church building being inadequate to accommodate the Sunday school, an annex was built to the church tUu Ciindnv CfVinnl m?TYl_ It IV1JU VT II C4 0 L i 1 V_ UU1IUUJ ov UWi * W ? being found that this was not in keepig with the progress made in the material world, in the fall of 1916 it was decided to begin preparation for the erection of a new building, and the result of this move is the building dedicated today. On account of the expense thus incurred, together with the drive for Newberry and Summer land colleges and regular church expenses, this congregation hr.s raised an average of $4500.00 per year for the last five years. Since the organization of the congregation, there has been organized from its members a Ladies' Missionary society, a Children's Missionary society, or Light Brigade, a Cradle Roll, a Luther league and a Brotherhood. , We have grown from 34 members to over 300 members. Since the arrival of the present pastor, the salary has been raised four times, being double the amount that it was when he began serving this pastorate. The Sunday school has grown from a small number to an enrollment of ajout 175, with an efficient primary. , j_ j_ ~ l department. The above facts show the steady growth of the organization, now a little more than thirty years old. GARMENTS FOR DESTITUTE CHILDREN OF POLAND ; Again the call has come to the Red ' Cross workers of Newberry county j to sew for the large number of Polish children who are without clothes. Reports from headquarters picture the condition of these children as pit-1 iable in the extreme?if clothed at' all, it is only in lilthy rags. I The severe winter is ahead and it is up to the Red Cross workers of America to save them from freezing. Newberry county's allotment is only 200 flannel petticoats for children two years old, very simple and easy to make. From the scraps left from cutting these, we are asked to make sacques and bootees for the babies.; These, too, are easy to make, and the committee hopes'that this feature will appeal to the young girls. Newberry county has been highly complimented fronv headquarters of the Southern division for the prompt response it has always made, and especially for the quantity of garments ? ^ ? ? 4 It A 1 1 ft .^n iv 1 maoe III answer iu uie can oujumer. Let us respond equally well this time. The material has been shipped and the cutting: committee expects to be- \ gin work next week. The chairmen of auxiliaries and branches are asked to communicate with Miss Fannie McCaughrin, phone number 8, as to the number each will be responsible lor. The finished garments are to be shipped to headquarters September 1st, but the committee is anxious to distribute them before the usual summer interruptions. Mrs. R. D. Wright, For the Committee.
