Thomasson, which Mr. Thomasson has accepted, to preach to the congregation the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Mr. Thomasson has other pastoral work at Old Point, this county, where he resides. The members of the Woman's Missionary union of the Fort Mill Baptist church observed their annual week of prayer and selfdenial last week. Saturday evening the envelopes containing the Christmas and self-denial . contributions for the missionary r work in China were opened and the offerings amounted to $28. The congregation of the Fort Mill Presbyterian church afforded their pastor, the Rev. W. A. Hafner, a distinct surprise Monday evening in the nature of an old-fashioned "pounding." Fifty or more members of the congregation visited the manse and took with them the substantial offerings of an even larger number of their fellow churchmen. A recent visitor to Fort Mill was Mr. W. T. Beamguard, of Clover, who was a guest for a few days at the home of his daughter, Mrs. I). F. Lee. Mr. Beamguard is one of the sub stantial citizens of the county and is greatly interested in the prosperity and progress of his home town. He is a brother of Representative J. E. Beamguard, who is at present in Columbia attending to his duties as a member of the General Assembly. Persons sitting in the local freight office of the Southern railway Friday afternoon when i a broken rail caused a freight I car to jump the track and run ! into the trucking platform of the < office thought a cyclone had hit i the building when it was almost 1 wrenched from its foundations I by the impact. About 20 feet of ; the platform was torn away in i the accident and an hour or more ; was lost in rerailing the car. Two ' little boys who were standing nearby when the car got off the i rails and ran into the platform narrowly escaped injury. a good (leal ot interest was aroused in the upper part of town Friday afternoon by the peculiar actions of a well dressed stranger who was first observed on the streets early that morning". The , man left the business district shortly after noon and walked 1 up White street to a point just ' outside the corporate limits, where he stopped on the roadside < near the home of a colored man named Fate James and for an ' hour and a half busied himself j by walking around in a small i circle, stopping occasionally to * look in first one direction and 1 then another. He is said to have [ returned to town late Friday c afternoon. Who he was, whence he came, what actuated him to [ act so peculiarly and whither he j went no one seems to know. 1 * > 5*s ikiyfe *!. Ring Found in Oyster. A few weeks ago the Ander-1 son Daily Mail printed an article ! telling of the finding of a lady's ring by Mr. K. M. Glass, while, eating oysters at a local restaurant. The ring was found imbedded in the oyster, and it was stated that just how it got there was a puzzle. The article was copied by a number of papers, among them the Boston, Mass., Post, and as a result of the clipping in that paper, Mr. Glass lias received the following letter from a Boston woman: "Dear Sir: Seeing in last Sunday's Post a notice of your having found a ring in an oyster, I am curious to know if it could be the I me I lost at Higham Harbor I while in bathing. I am wondering if it could travel that dis;ance. "Will you please see if it bears ;he initials 'M. E. S.' on the inside? It answers your description in the paper; namely, the -ed stone and the value. "Hoping my curiosity will revive an answer from you, I im," etc. In an article in The Daily Mail, the ring was described as set with a. red stone, and being worth s about $3. In this particular. Mr. i Glass' correspondent says that! the description is correct. In talking of the letter recently, Mr. Glass said that there have apparently been three engraved letters on the inside of the ring, but that only an "M," is now plain. However, he is satisfied that the other letters are "E. E." though they are now very indistinct. The puzzle about the whole; thing?no matter if the owner of the ring has been found?has, however, not been solved. It is: How did the ring get inside the oyster? No light is thrown on this question by the letter from j Boston. It can be readily seen how the ring might have been inside the oyster shell, but inside the oyster is another thing; and here is where it was found. Salting Farm Animals. Farm animals, like human beings, require salt. They must have it for*the good of their systems. Few farmers realize the VQ 1 111* nf L?olf F/\w ? - ' IUIUV. \>i C1?IIL JUI IIICU till111 lcll S, and most of them, if they use salt at all, give it to the stock at long intervals. A little salt should be given the stock every day, or, better still, place rock I salt in the mangers of horses and cattle, so they can satisfy j their cravings in this direction. If salt is kept before them constantly, few of the animals will eat it in excess, and those which do can have it doled out to them by the feeder in proper proportions. The best way to salt hogs is to place a box containing an equal mixture of salt and clean wood ashes (the more charcoal in the ashes the better) in one portion of their house. Once they be- i come accustomed to the mixture they will not eat it to excess. Wood ashes is a great conditioner for horses, and if they are given a level tablespoonful in their feed at weekly intervals their health will be improved. State Pension Matters. Comptroller General Jones, as chairman of the State pension i board, has announced that the county pension boards will this year meet the first Monday in February, in place of January, to pass on applications submitted by the pension commissioners. Such commissioners, one for each county, have already been chosen under the rules. The pension law provides that the funds shall be distributed April 1. It is j asked that the pension lists be sent in from the various counties as soon as possible. WANTED?Two or three loads of good two-foot firewood at once. W. R. | radford. An Ordinance.

Speaking about the big factory in Now York city, that makes 1,000,000 Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens a year, as described in the last issue of The Transcript, and where the floor sweepings of the room in which they grind the gold pens are sold for $i,500 a i month- wouldn't you like to be janitor, with the privilege of keeping the dust 1 for your pay? And then just think of j getting $5 in gold every month or so out of each workman's old pants after they j are worn out. Why, you couldn't shake that much coin out of a poor printer's ' jeans, even when they are looking their I smartest. And as for those gold bricks j worth $1,000 per. The Transcript scribe, though he has never been that far from "hum" before, and is powerful skeered of the tricks they say the city fellers plays on green country folks, would be willin' to journey clean up to the big city, if he thought, now, they'd conic the "gold brick" game on his bucolic innocency with one of the Waterman ; company's bricks! j 2(1,000,OtX) Ideal Waterman Fountain gold pens in use. That is 124 miles of gold pens end on end, or 1,000 miles, j holders and all. Truly this is an age of i big things.?The Transcript. Ardrey's Drug Store.
