WBflTVlLlB NEWS, Well, MP. EditoiS I have failed to find ft ny ndSva tdt yoUi* oolurrtril thi* week. I am a slow hand when It comes to manufacturing news. I am afraid if I write much, giving my ideas about things, and giving advice as to how to do things, they will be treated as those of a certain youth I read about not many days ago. A youth wrote thus to an Editor! "I sent you some suggestions telling you how to make your paper more inter esting. Have you carriel out any of my ideas?" Editor: "Did you meet the office boy with the waste-paper basket as you came up the stairs?" Youth: "Yes, yes, 1 did". Editor, "Well, he was carrying out your ideas." My ideas might be carried out a.-' the ideas of the youth, in the waste basket. We are still on the map. 1 mean of course, Westville. We are not boast ing of our community being the best in this county but this is a fine place to live down here or up here. Sonv of my reasons for saying his is that, we have good farming land, very good schools, two good churches and many big hearted, generous people, full of ambition. Mrs. Ike Owens and little Miss Dor othy, her daughter, of Lancaster, spent Sunday, with Mrs. Owens par ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hilton. Miss Nita Jones of Hanging Hock, spent last week end with her sister, Mrs. Grace Anthony. Mrs. George Truesdalc underwent an operation at the Camden Hospital last week. Mrs. G. M. Anthony spent severn! days last week with relatives at Rock Hill and Riverside. We have quiet a few bachelors and widowers around here. We also have a few widows and some ? well I will not say, but let you guess. If some one would come along and put a bug in their ear we might have some June bug weddings to write u*i next year. If they do not burn,- up and get mar ried I am going to start something. Of course it will not be on Frank and John or Joe either. P. S. If this finds ft place in your paper, I will tell or write you some thing funny soon. The unexpected will happen some times. We read daily almost of wrecks ? cars running into wagons, buggies, and other cars, trains run ning into cars at crossings and no<" and then a car running into a train Last Monday, a buggy and wagon locked horns, or rather, hubs on Hang ing Rock Creek bridge just south of Kershaw. Of course the touring ca' two mule wagon, smashed uo a front wheel of the roadster, the buggy and spilled the occupants out on the bridge. No damage was done to those riding in the buggy more than wha' was done to the owner's pocket book, for the wheel aforesaid was smashed into smithereens. I was not close e nough to hear what was said but guess it was 'nuff. They carried the crippled buggy to the shop for an operation. Death at Heath Springs The home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Gay of Heath Springs had a pall of gloom cast over it last Saturday ev ening. Their little daughter', Clara Evelyn, who had been sick for only about three days died. She was a sweet little girl of five summers, and exceptionally bright for her age. She was very obedient to her parents, a regular attendant at Sunday School and made much of her teacher. Before retiring at night little Clara would kneel beside her bed, asking those in the room to h" quiqt while she offered her self to the Lord through prayer. She was loved and greatly admired by all who knew her. She will bo greatly missed by her parents, sist*1. s and all others who knew her. After funeral services conducted by P. E. Rlackmon at the homo of h^r parents, Sunday afternoon, her re mains were laid to rest beside her lit tle sister who died about seven months ago, iri Salem cemetery at Heath Springs. i The bereaved parents and relatives have the sympathy of the entire com munity.
