Another improvement, already completed by the springs from Water loo to the Calhoun highway, is a new top soil road, constructed by the lo cal highjffy commission. The building of the sanitarium, Mr. Purvis stated, will be started within the next few weeks, probably before spring, in order to be able to open the new place by early summer, at least. He will return to Laurens in about three weeks after a visit home. ✓ W. P. Childress Passes Suddenly Laurens, Jan. 10.—William P.

We should all expect some dark days and resist their influence as much as possible. We can do very much with our will. Our judgment should tell us the danger of letting ourselves go when “the wind is from the east/’ We should wait until the times change and not give way to dark humors. It, can be accomplished if we are but fixed in our determination to encourage chereful moods and .discourage unto ward feelings. We cannot control our feelings, it is true, but by a set purpose we can make them strengthen us.
