Social Kvents in Latta.
On last Saturday afternoon, March
5th, Master Rembert Hayes entertained
a number of his friends in
honor of his eleventh birthday. It
was an ideal spring day, and many
out-door games were enjoyed by his
little friends on the large lawn and
the shady grove near the house. In
the midst of the games, they were
called to the house where amid an
embankment of flowers was a punch
bowl, and here they were served refreshing
punch- Later in the after-'
noon the. were invited to the dining
room, which was a scene of beauty.
The color scheme of yellow was carried
out, there being bowls of yellow
jonquils along with other decorations.
The cake with candles was in the j
center of the table, which was cover-:
ed with a Cuban handmade luncheon 1
cloth. A sweet course was served, af- j
ter which their fortunes were tried ,
with candles. About thirty friends'
from Latta and the community were
present.
Mrs- T. C. McGee entertained the(
rjiiuge V/Iud on i nursaay anernoon,.
the 10th. The living and dining rooms
were thrown into one large room and '
decorated in Easter lillies, snowl
drops, and white hyacinths. Silver'
and crystal candelabra containing
dozens of pure white candles were
used.
Four card tables containing dain-|
ty corners embroidered in pastel col-,
ors, were arranged for the players.!
The number of each table was desig-}
nated by a rabbit holding hand painted
number. Small chickens with score
cards attached were placed on the;
tables, with guests finding their plac^
es When all guests had arrived, iced
fruit nectar was served, after which
four rubbers were played. Mrs. W.
D. Bethea held the highest score, and

H. E, Parham who bought W. C.
Parham's lot of eighty six cows some
days back Is now killing about six
of these cows each week, and disposing
of them to the nearby markets,
which if kept up at this rate will not
take long to get rid of the lot- There
is a goodly number of young steers
in this lot of cattle that make excellent
beef. A big lot of cows will
scon eat their heads off, especially a*
this season of the year, when there is
nothing to graze on, unless they are
handled quickly.
The President's Mrst Sahbatli in the
Willie House.
Our r.ewly installed President made
^ a fine start ill the Capitol: but w->
) question the wisdom displayed in (ho
White House; for instead of emulating
the example of his predecessor?
Mr. Wilson?he remained at home on
the Sabbath instead of attending the
church services. Of course we knowthat
there is a good side to hie
conduct because if he had attended
services his presence there would
have distrached worship and perhaps
done much more harm to that
individual church than good, as
many were there simply to see Presi- {
dent Harding rather than worship
King Jesus. However, the example
of a professed believer, in the person
of a president, to a whole na-'
tlon, would hardly Justify his ab
THE DILLON HERA
since from church. .It seems to indicate
that although he seems to be
very modest, yet very conscious too.
His conduct, further in contrast with
hie predecessor may be traceable to
the fact, that the former President
was a member of a church that has
always laid great stress upon the
sanctity of worship and observance of
the Sabbath. We do not say that Mr.
Wilson was perfect in this respect;
for he too. at times, was rather guilty
in attending to national affairs,
during the war, even after attending
the services of thp rhnrnh f.. Vilr>?
it might have seemed a necessity but
he must have forgotten at the time
that God does not sleep on Sunday,
nor does he withdraw his hand from
the helm of state on that day. If
our new President will only practice
what he has preached in his inaugural
address, then we have reasons
for believing that he will be the
President of the United States and
not of the Republican party- His
position relative to the other nations
is certainly very sane and inoffensive.
We should all try to lay aside
prejudice against him because he is
not a Democrat, and instead of abusing
or suspecting him. we should remember
him and congress in our
daily prayer; for something a thousand
times worse might have happened
to the South than the election of
a republican president, the proof of
which would fill up the pages of a
good size book. We love our party,
but we ought not to be blind to the
dangers of any party. As to Mr. Wilson
there is and has always been a
difference of opinion, both North and
South,, but just eliminate four collosal
mistakes which we think he
made, and that* is a small number ot
mistakes for any president to make
nil -----
...... r.?r iiicuiii iiiai nisiory win record
the fact that hp was not far from
bring the greatest man the world has
produced. We look upon him still as
a man with a gigantic brain, though
weakened by sickness; a man of supreme
courage; and an extreme
statesman whose vision waP slightly
distorted by a seeming egotism forced
upon him by the discovery that
his cabinet was not as strong as he
anticipated. \s a church we arP still
proud of Mr. Wilson's conduct in relation
to tlie sacred; but it remain;
t ? be proven whether or not Mr
Harding will bring reproach or glory
upon his church. We hope it will be
of a most fortunate character because
if one suffers 'he whole universal
church must share in the repoach
or the honor.

A Porch Celery Box?There is n<
phase of vegetation more easily and
conveniently developed or more
gratifyingly conducive to the pleasure
and happiness of the home maker
both from the standpoint of beauti
fication and excellent food product as
the Porch Celery Box.
For this purpose secure a box A
fee t long, 2 feet wide, and 20 inchei
deep. Place on the bottom a strata ol
any kind of soil 4 inches in depth as
a base. Cover this with a layer ol
barn yard fertilizer 4 inches deep
Then fill in with 4 inches of dark
sandy loam.
Lay off rows 4 inches apart, and 1
inch deep. Le t stand 12 hours he
fere planting the seed. Meanwhile thc
seed are soaking in sweet milk foi
the purpose of rapid germination and
thc production of stocky plants, eacli
ct which is induced by the proteir
of the milk. When the time for soak
ing is exhausted drain the milk from
the seed and stir in a sufficiency ol
soil among them to have each bear
ing an accummulation or coating ol
soil. Plant them sparingly in the lit
tie rows already laid off. Cover seed
and press soil surface down compactly
Keep the box well watered ? a.soon
as the soil drys out.
When the plants are three inehet
high, thin them out leaving thc
permanent growth 4 inches apart
The plants which are withdrawn may
be transplanted in the garden or disposed
of to other home makers.
If box should be made before danger
of frost is over, tacks or wire
nails are driven around the edges o!
the box to hold the cheese cloth covering
for protection.
Keep llip soil well broken between
the rows with an old fork which is a
Rood substitute cultivator. Apply liquid
fertilizer, using poultry house
excrement, or occassionally a littb
nitrate of soda. This forces the plant
very rapidly.
If self blanching celery seed are
used, the little plants will begin tr
bleach when they are about six inches
high. However, if any other varities
are used for planting, pine
needles may be placed between the
rows and against the 12 inches ol
box left above the surface the
soil. Place these needles after thr
slants have attained a growth of sis
Inches and the bleaching process will
begin very quickly.
When the lateral spires have grown
10 or 12 inches, cut them carefully
from the plant and use. In a few
weeks the plant reproduces these
The blossom stem should be careful
1/ cut from the crown of the tap root
and used- By preventing the blooming
of the plant, it continues to pro
duce new, crisp spires for consecu
five years, thus economizing thf
household expenditure,, and increasing
the Joys of the homemakers.
During theso consecutive years of
the growth of these plants from the
original planting, the soil life i?
maintained by the application of liquid
fertilizer frequently between thf
rows of plants.
HIS HAPPY HOMK.
She sews the button g on his shirts.
And darns his socks with care,
She never fails to be alert,
His every woe to share.
She layr. his night clothes on the bed
And turns the cover,, down.
She never fills his henrt with dread
By a suspicious frown.
She fives him what he likes to set,

And never makes complaint;
i And there is never when they meet
A hint of cold restraint,
Her faith in him in deep and great,
i She courts his least caress,
When he gets home to dinner late
There is no bitterness,
i She never scolds because the folk
Next door have more than they,
On hiin she pauses to invoke
God's blessing day by day.
She strives in every way to ease
The burdens of his life; j
You may have guessed ere this that
she's *
