The revival meeting that was scheduled to hecin at Flint Hill on the second Sunday in next month, will begin on the first Sunday. The change was made in order to prevent a conflict with a meeting that will begin at Fort Mill on the same Sunday. We hope this action on the part of the Flint Hill church will induce many of the Fort Mill people to attend the meeting out here. The sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Ellen Bailas, relict of Z. T. Bailes, was fittingly observed on the 3rd inst. by her children giving her a birthday dinner at the old home. It is indeed commendable in children to thus remember mother and by so doing put sunshine in her life and joy in her heart. Those present to enjoy the occasion were: O. H. Bailes and family, Edward L. Bailes and family, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Faris, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Wilson, Mrs. Anna Miller, "Uncle" Jim Epps, and Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Smith. A table was arranged on the beautiful lawn in front of the house and at the proper time it was covered with the most palatable viands imaginable. And to say that the entire occasion was enjoyed hugely by all present expresses it very mildly. All inin in Knninnf fUof n-if ? jviu in nv^uig mat muiucr Danes will have many happy returns of the dav. It is always very interesting to hear Uncle Jim Epps tell his war stories and as usual on this occasion he was all smiles and took great delight in telling us many things of interest during the war. It it was necessary to give Uncle Jim a nickname in order to distinguish him from some other Jim Epps, I think "Sunny Jim" would be appropriate. He carries sunshine with him every where and has a smile for everybody. May the Lord give him many days on earth yet to show people how to be cheerful when time has plowed furrows in the cheeks and the hair is white with the frost of many winters. Bonus Americus.

A. ROACH, Clerk. Woodrow Wilson Has made this statement: "If a man does not provide for his children, if he does not provide for all those dependent upon him. and if he has not that vision of things to come, and that care for the days which have not yet dawned, which we sum up in the whole idea of thrifty and saving, then he has not opened his eyes to any adequate conception of human life. We are in this world to provide not for ourselves but for others, and that is A.U ~ I * / me oasis 01 economy.' A life insurance policy in the Union Central is the safest, best and cheapest mode of provision for your dependents and of accumulating savings for yourself, thus in one means accomplishing two ends.
