Items From “Our Monthly** of 1905, Dr. Wm. P. Jacobs, Editor. The city authorities have put in an iron front to the new city hall, and the building will be speedily finish ed off. The speeding motorists should not step on the gas merely because they see a few timid pedestrians trying to cross the street. A writer claims that the home must shape the character of the young, but most of the young are not homo enough so you can do much shaping. The good old days are said to have been mighty fine, but the people who praise them so highly would be awful sore if they had to go back to them. PRODUCTION WASTES The American Federation of Labor has passed a resolution favoring stuiy of the wastes of industrial production, which are due parUy to management, partly to labor, and partly to various causes. The industrial world is full of waste, but most of these losses are deeply ingrained in popular habits and busi ness and working methods. By a de termined effort and popular educa tion, these wastes could he greatly reduced. The gain to American homes thereby would be marvelous. Such wastes can only be reduced through a willingness on the part of both capital and labor to remedy the faults in their own methods. So long as any element of people pass the buck to someone else for such losses, we shall not stop much waste. - SERVANTS OF THE PUBLIC The amount of work done by the women of Clinton, in getting up sup pers for numerous organizations of the city is something enormous. Some of these women often get up several of these suppers in. a week, and they have acquired a state-wide reputation for efficiency in cooking and the serv ing of delightful meals. These women doubtless have a right to say that they are,all tired out y^fth these efforts. And yet they still keep at them. Clinton men must eat, that’s all there is to it. Yet the comrade ship of their friends in these efforts compensates them for many of these labors. They can take credit for per forming a great public service, as they provide the mear^ by which the peo ple are interested to come out and join public movements for the good of the community. They often show an efficiency that would qualify them to manage some important business. HELPFUL ASSOCIATIONS About now many ^householders and housewives, looking ahead to the long winter evenings, conclude that it is going to get a little dull sitting around the parlor lamp until next May. They think they would better Join up with some organization that will create a little variety. The present day desertion of the home circle is looked at with alarm by many philosophers. In many fam ilies, the home has become a kind of an eating and sleeping joint in which people spend so little time that they could hardly tell gnyoi^e'how it looks. But in our fear of such wandering habits we need not go to the opposite extreme, and refusf to go out be cause we have to change the soft slippers that were given to us for our last birthday. People need to belong to a few good organizations. It takes social and in tellectual contacts to kindle the sparks of thought and action. Many young people who go to thfe big cities, report harrowing experien ces. Might be a good idea to stay at home on the farm awhile and have some ploughing experience. While the overworked housewife talks about the advantage of two meals a day, the hungry husbands are thinking four would be about right. This is the tim£ ior the men’s an nual search about the house for last winter’s clothes. The politicians claim that they wear no man’s collar, but they will have to put one on to make good with the women folks. It’s not so bad for a team to fall down flat—but to lie there is disgrace. AlLof which means that Saturday is the day for J*. C. to hit the Hurri cane. No use to sit down and wait for opportunity unless you want it to pass you. Another optimist deserving men^on i| the man who pays for a postage- due letter. Woman was made from a man’s rib, and she has been roasting him ever since. It is about time to give a thought or two to Christmas and Santa Claus. It is all right to gaze at hte stars, but you had better keep your feet on the ground. Moral support is a fine thing, but some people make the mistake of thinking it will pay bills. Never try to lead a man, girls. Jqst head him in the direction you want him to go and then let him take the lead. A fashionable woman seems to think that the way to keep her neck warm is to trim the bottom of her skirt with fur. Mr. Pitts has erected a' cottage in Clinton, and so has Mr. King. They are both occupied. Nine hundred looms are now run ning in the Clinton mills. It’s a busy time on that side of town. South- Carolina. His cordiality, his business talent, his quick perceptions of the necessities of the case made him an acceptable worker on, varione committees, boards of trustees and missions. He will undoubtedly be missed by his church and his depart ure is most sincerely lamented- As a public-spirited, patriotic citi zen deeply interested in Clinton and its enterprises and in the preserva tion of its good name, Brother Parrott had few equals and no superiors. Our people appreciate these services and realize that they have lost a citizen that cannot easily be replaced. But more than all this, he was a zealous Christian, devoted to God and duty and with a heart full of loving faith. It was that that was his power and now that he has crossed the line into the land where faith gives way V TEMPTING and delicious cuts Robinson’s circus was in Clinton last week.

Everybody was glad to see Dawson. We had a very pleasant visit yes terday from one of our former pupils, Mrs. Fair Buford, with her two very pretty and well behaved boys, Man- son and Ansel. Little Ansel is a name sake of the Governor. Married at the Fjrst Presbyterian church, Clinton, Mr. Charles Akerman of Macon, Ga., and Miss Sara Jones Davis of Clinton. They both have the good wishes of a host of friends. Major Bob Griffin was a visitor at our home a few days ago. Mr. C. M. Bailey is erecting a hand some residence near the Lydia Mills. The mill’s property has been greatly improved. - Several new store buildings are now in progress of erection. J Mr. Owens lest one of his buildings by fire on the morning of the 18th. He at once began clearing away and getting ready for erecting a new store room to take its place. Mr. Bell is also building a store and Dr. Phillips is erecting two store buildings on Mus- giove street. A neighbor wants to know how to make a dog stop barking at night. Shoot him before sundown. Birthday Party At Cross Anchor FILLING THE PEWS The Rev. Oliver Kene has been pas tor of the Methodist church at Kear ney, Neb., for four years and in that time he has quadrupled the member ship. How did he do it? “By advertising,” he says. “That makes a business grow, so why should it not work with a church? I often insert a quarter page or half page ad in the home-town papers. Publicity changes the auto from an enemy to a friend of the church. When the peo ple of the whole community know of your church and the kind of sermons you preach the car will carry them to your church instead of away from'it. The expense of advertising is met ' through the collection box, and the more people the advertising draws to the church, of course the larger the collections. So ads pay for them- aelves in actual money. The good that is accomplished cannot be measured In dollars and cents. “Christ said, ‘Go-out and compel them to come in.* What is mote com pelling than advertising in the mod ern way? Nothing can take the place of the gospel. Not movies, nor music, nor half-baked addresses on current tcpica. Advertising must be backed by a good sound, honest gospel mes sage from the pulpit. And the man who goes ones .is pretty apt to re turn and bring some one with him.** Special to The Chronicle. Cross Anchor, Oct. 26.—Mrs. J. N.

Parrott on the early morning of the 18th of March, besides being a great shock to this community, was a very great and regrettable loss. Mr. Parrott has been for many years identified with Clinton, first as the principal of a very .popular academy, and afterwards as pastor of the First Baptist church. His life, thro all these years, was a lesson of faith, integrity, honor and diligence known to the whole commun ity. As he grew older and riper in experience, he grew even more faith ful and self-sacrificing in his devotion to duty, winning his way into the hearts of all the people in the com munity without respect to denomina tion and without even a hint toward proselytism. He was a special favor- 1 ite with the people of the Presbyter ian church among whom he was ad mired, if that could be, as much as in his own. I His attention in times of sickness, his readiness to sympathize, his faithfulness in council and his for wardness in every good work made him peculiarly useful. The town sure ly misses him and will continue to miss him as long as good deeds are lemembered among us. His people have the deepest sympathy of all de nominations. We realize that we have lest as well as they, and that in the burden of sorrow that has come upon them, we of the other denominations and specially of the Presbyterian church are also heavy sharers.
