PAULS a, A t) For a good many years what it ' known as Home Coming and 01c Folks day has been observed at St. ^ Pauls Lutheran church in the Pomaria section of the county during th * month of August. And the third Sunday in the month is set apart for this home coming event. It is and ha* been the custom to have all day ser- ;a vice, that is a sermon in the morning lc and then 3. couple hours for the din- 'a ner and for the old and the young t( ^ sit around under the big oaks and p talk of the days that are gone anc w / .'of the hopes and aspirations for the c future, and many people who do not live in the community come back tc j mingle with the friends and relative* ^ of other days. The afternoon hat . (been given to an address or two 'bj j some one generally who has gone ou. ^ from the congregation, or some othei tJ invited speaker who directs his re marks particularly to the occasion Oj a the home coming. h Sunday, August 20, was the dati ^ for the celebration this year. Ther* e was a large congregation present a but I do not think so large as I havi s] seen there. St. Pauls is among th( I oldest churches in the county and ha: always been noted for the large con , gregation and for its fine congrega , tional singing. There was not the usual large congregation present thi: a year, that is not so large as is usua 7 on these home coming days. But i y was more than the capacity of th< , church. The sermon in the mornini . TV W TC. Gr>twalc I ? rvao yi tavuvu vj ?? - ?- ? ? ?- j of Newberry college and the addresi in the afternoon was delivered b? [ Dr. J. J. Long of Little Mountain } Both sermon and address were ver? \ much enjoyed. ' Just when the congregation wa ? organized is not known, but ther< has been a church and a congregatioi at St. Pouls for more than a hundre< 3 and fifty years. The Annals of New 5 berry in the chapter on the churche ) of the county says that a church a St. Pauls was dedicated on the thin i , Sunday in June, 1830, and adds tha ; this was a new church building tha ^ was dedicated, and that there hat been a church here for more thar eighty years prior to that time. It i: i certainly one of the oldest of th( j church organizations in the county > Dr. J. A. Sligh served as pastor fo- [ forty-six years, and from this moth er congregation during his long pas \ torate several other churcches wen [ builded that are now flourishng con gregations. I would like to have som< : one write a history of the church ant ; the school, because such a histor: would be the history of the commun ity. I have pretty nearly a complet' list of the school teachers at thi. school going back as far as 1840, an< some day I hope to gather up th? fragments and publish a history o the school so far as I may be able Pastor Boland, the reader will recall ] read a history of Colony at the home ! coming event at this church a fev Sundays 'back, and he is preparing i for The Herald and News a history o Betheden and I h" pe will get the da ta for me for Lv:erty Hill, now St James, Jalapa. These home cominr i events should be made largely to in elude this history recording of th( church and the congregation and ii this w.iy more than any other cai they be made of interest and valu< to the community, because tha would have the tendency to have th< ydung people stop for a moment a* I 1 CtlSU <XI1U l LC3.

Not many of th( members of the church are there now who were members in those days, but there are a few. Dr. Sligh began hi? service as pastor before we left the Ic community,, to go to Edgefield and v before him were Margart and v ' II Uackwelder. The Rev. S. P. Koon is | le pastor at this time. The fine old ickory trees are nearly all gone and \ ( le chinquepins are 'but a memory. There was a fine picnic dinner srved on the long tatble beneath the ^ irge oaKS ana every one seemea iu . e glad that he had come, and as is ustomary at the rural church the j eople lingered after the service had! nded and talked of various and sun- j ry things and were glad to meet one j nother. These gatherings and home j omings are great community helps j nd I hope they will be kept up and I lat the mterest in them may con-1 !nue and that they will be used in a : irge measure to promote and pre-! ?rve the keeping in permanent form | le history of the church and in thi$ ray the history of the community. K. H. A. A Sad Death on Milligan Street On Sunday morning, August 13th, t eight o'clock, the death angel laimed Mrs. Louise Carfteron after! n illness of two weeks, although she ad been in failing health for the iast year.

Unto this nion were born nine children, of " rhich the two oldest have already! , nswered their summons, "Come( ome." To know Mrs. Cameron was to love ' er as she was a kind, loving moth-i r, and a good neighbor and friend to 11, greeting every one with whom he came in contact with kind words nd loving smiles. j In early life she joined the Baptist hurch of which she was a loyal lember until death. The funeral service was at the ouse, conducted by Rev. Marlow, er pastor being away at the time f her death. The body was then lid to rest at Rosemont where a irge crowd of friends and relatives aid the last respect to her. j She is survived by one sister, Mrs. } '. M.

Once upon a time there lived tn an indiana town a maiden whose birthlays had long since passed the tra- < iitional mark of twenty-five. There j ived in the same town another maid- j ;n, but she was of the sweet sixteen rariety. These two became fast 'riends and they kept a close companionship until the older became a vife, and, eventually, a mother for he first and then a second time. Dissimilar interests led the friends nore and more along different paths md although now still living in the same town they seldom meet.

LIVES OF UNREMITTING TOIL Chinese Coolies Never Know Respite From Labor of Pushing Barrows, 4r\f Rap* P*i?t*nee. Laborers in America who think they have a hard life should see these Chinese coolies. Imagine wheeling a barrow with a four or five hundred pound load for hundreds of miles over roads difficult to tiyivel even on horseback ! Usually there are two men to a barrow. The one at the handles, by means of a strap over his shoulders, takes much of the weight from his arms, leaving his hands more or less free to guide and balance the load; the one in front drags it forward with a ten-foot rope. Panting and straining, with the sweat streaming from their hal^naked bodies; pulling through foot-deep yellow dust, lifting over rocks and dragging up hills; at-night gulping a bowl of soup or macaroni and, half dead with fatigue, falling asleep on the ground in the inn courtyard among the pigs, chickens and mules?so they live, day after day, year in and year out, with nothing else to look forward to. All this for tifty or sixty coppers a tiav, or about eighteen cents in American money. Is it any wonder they seek oblivion in opium??Hoy Chapman Andrews in Asia. New Tertiary Crocodile. Exceedingly valuable additions have been made recently to the already extensive natural history collections of the La Plata museum In Buenos Aires, and a vast amount of netv information has been gathered by an expedition that has just returned from a threemonths' geological survey and paleontological study of northern Patagonia ?that little-known region of Argen Tina that already has shown jtself to he one of the world's richest storehouses of paleontological relics. Included among the specimens brought back by the expedition is the fossil of a prehistoric monster of the crocodile family which appears to be a species hitherto unknown. This fossil is the almost complete skeleton of a reptile that in life measured more than 40 feet from head to tail. The fossil was found near the city of Rio Negro between the strata of red sandstone of the Crustaceous age. which crop out all over the upi>er Rio Negro valley and along the Neuquen and Limay rivers. Two Distinct Tribes in Damara Land. Two distinct tribes inhabit Damara land, in the central portion of what was formerly German Southwest Afriot?the Hill Damara and the Cattle Damara.

THE VALUE OF A SPARROW Charleston American. 1 How startling the words must have | seemed to his audience that day in ! Palestine when Jesus pictured a fall- 4 ing sparrow as attracting the attention of God; Paul thought God didn't! care for oxen. Jesus says he cares ; for sparrows. Few in those far off j. days imagined that Heaven concern-j ed itself with anything so trifling as an animal. Only as we put ourselves back in that distant century and gather with the crowd of those who listen to the new teacher on the hillside, or by the quiet lake, can we understand] how these words about the value of i a sparrow must have shocked his au- , dience. It seemed quite as amazing to them as if some one among us should say, "Not an insect is crushed beneath your heedless foot whose doom your heavenly Father does not mark.'' What does it all mean? This? that the higher you climb up the ladder of life, the wider your vision, the 'broader your sympathies, the quicker your response to the need of every living thing capable of pain and pleasure.
