A very delightful occasion was the entertainment given by the young men of the younger set to their young lady friends last Friday evening. Through the kindness of Mrs. Beach, her home was used and her cooperation was largely responsible for the good time enjoyed. There were about forty guests present, and all participated in a lively contest entitled "A Flower Story." After a season of much mirth the prize was awarded to Miss Leonard Folk and Mr. Jack Riley, who presented the most creditable papers, while Miss Lizzie Hand and Mr. Marion Cooner received the consolation. During the evening punch was served by Mrs. Isaac Felder, assisted by Miss Hattie Sue Brabham, also ambrosia and cake were served. A very pretty feature of the occasion was the presentation of a lovely fruit and flower stand to Mrs. Beach, as a little token of ,regard from the company. Mrs. Beach is really a fairy god mother to the young folks and they took this dainty way of expressing their appreciation. M. C. McC. l State Sunday-school Convention. Plans are being perfected for the State Sunday-school convention, which embraces all denominations. Rock Hill will entertain the convention this year, the dates being Feb-! ruary 15, 16 and 17. Last year the convention was held at Orangeburg and many delegates from all oyer the State were present. This year Bamberg county will be entitled to eight delegates, and I am requested by the State association to appoint them and furnish credentials. All persons who desire appointment as delegates should notify me at once, for we have only a limited number of places to fill. Free entertainment will be provided for eight delegates from this county. As many more can go as wish, if they will look after providing their own entertainment. As soon as you find that you can go as a delgate, please do not delay, but write to Major W. W. Boyce, Rock Hill, and he will see that you are provided with a home for the convention. The railroads will give a reduced rate for the convention. Further details of the convention will appear in this column before convention time. If other information is desired, please write to the undersigned. Bamberg, S. C. Civic League Notes. The Civic League will hold its regular meeting this Thursday afternoon promptly at four o'clock at the residence of Mrs. W. P. Jones. This will be a most important meeting as as a new president and treasurer are to be elected and plans mapped out for the coming year. Let every old member and numbers of new ones attend and so make the few who have labored so faithfully during the past year for the civic betterment of our town, feel that their efforts have at least been appreciated. There is not only strength but inspiration in numbers and now is the time to inspire and encourage the officers by your presence and interest in the work of the league. It seems so strange that it should be necessary to urge and plead with the women of a town to lend a helping hand in this great work. Even if she does not take an especial interest in the beautifying of the public places, streets and homes by the planting of trees, grass and flowers, every woman who thinks at all, desires earnestly that the town which she is raising her children in shall be a clean and healthful place. The president of the Atlanta Woman's Club has said: "A woman's club means a group of women banded together to make tomorrow better than to-day." But no great things can be achieved by a mere handful of women in a few lllUUUlB U111C, uu rr *^ ? vuuiubiuuvw and faithful they may be. When the whole town unites to work for a common sause, we will recognize the irresistible force of numbers and the town will be so well drained, the sanitary conditions around the homes will be so well looked after that there will be no unhealthful spots in which the mosquitpes and house fly will breed and carry disease and typhoid will be stamped out of our town. When the mayor and his aldermen boldly declare their allegiance to the league and aid them in their work, when officers of the law do their duty and see that the laws are enforced, when the business men not only keep their places of business neat and orderly but offer their services to the ladies, when the many ladies who stand aloof and say: "I can't see where the league has done any good," join hands and help then ?in the great oneness of purpose? Bamberg will almost leap forward in its development. All of the information necessary to the organization of a Junior Civic League has been received and the little band of co-workers will be enlisted to help fight against disease and disorder, after this week's meeting. What seems a most reasonable offer from the American Woman's League to build a chapter house in this town has been received and the plans will be explained to the members on Thursday afternoon. Not a cent of money is asked for and all that is needed is a gift of a lot from some public-spirited man or woman and the promise of every citizen of the town to stick together in this work. The rest room will be discontinued until the chapter house is secured or a more suitable place found, as the ladies from the country have not used it sufficiently to warrant the paying out of such a goodly amount from the treasury each montn. me furniture will probably be removed to the emergency room fitted up by the league at the graded school for the use of the teachers and children who are sick during school hours. Card of Thanks. The family of Mr. J. S. Bishop desire to kindly thank their neighbors and friends for their kindness and assistance during his extended illness. Baptist Church News and Notices.

We were most cordially received on our return from Spmter just after Conference, and when we walked into the dining room we found the table loaded with varied packages bespeaking a hearty welcome. All of this was very kind and thoughtful and most heartily appreciated.. Brother Smith was with us Sunday night and held the first quarterly conference Monday morning. The stewards, out of the largeness of their hearts, and believeing in progress, raised the pastor's salary $100. = For quite a while the congregation has felt the need of a church bell, as there is no public clock by which time may be regulated and watches and clocks vary so much that there is a lack of promptness in gathering, so we determined to install the bell. I wish I knew where the Wofford bell was bought. It's a splendid bell, though I've seen the day when it sounded anything else but sweet?unprepared for lessons or exams. The League council met at the nnr<innfl?P MnnHav nicht and manned o ? - ??? -ri out to some extent the plans for the year. Our financial method is to determine the amount needed for the League work during the year and then assess each member. This year the League will give $50 to Soo Chow University, besides $50 to local mission work. Our Sunday-school for two years past has been holding on Christmas Eve a "giving service." This takes the place of the usual Christmas tree. Instead of receiving a present, each scholar is asked to bring a gift, either toy, fruit, dry goods, or groceries, and these things are placed in the hands of a committee for distribution among the poor. I think it an excellent idea and one that might well be adopted by other schools. We are trusting that the third year shall be the best of the three.

Washington, January 24.?Half a iozen or more postmasters in upper South Carolina towns are on the anxious seat, and do not know whether ' :hey are to be reappointed or whether they are about through handing cut the mails for Uncle Sam. During :he last week a number of such officials have been in Washington, enieavoring to convince Postmaster Seneral Hitchcock in some way that they are deserving of reappointment. With them have been two or three very strong South Carolinians, whose recommendation in patronage matters are generally followed. None >f these persons want their presence tiere to be known, because other applicants may get wind of what is ?oing on and come to Washington ilso.
