A unanimous * call was extended to Rev. W. R. McMillan, of Amherst, Va., and it is ex- ? pected that he will accept and come here to assume the pastorate in about ^ a month or more. Mr. McMillan preached here recently, and all who 1 heard him preach and met him were well pleased. T The demonstration on the farm of Mr. Henry F.

Many interesting "creations" were made, " which afforded much fun. Miss Franke Folk, proving the most successful along this line, was presented with a box of Huyler's.

Meeting of Mite .Box Brigade. i Last Friday afternoon just before four o'clock many children of the , ".Mite Box Brigade" began to gather ( at the home of Mrs. Henry Bamberg , to hold their regular meeting. 'Twas truly an interesting sight to watch ( ' these small children conduct their | own meeting. j Thirty members were present, and , j five new members secured. j This being the afternoon to open j i the mite boxes, each child was in , his place eager to see which one had ( most in his box. A prize was given < the one who had saved most pennies 3 and dimes. Little Mary Cleckley's ( box being opened among the last was 3 found to contain two dollars and , twenty cents. She received the pretty Testament that was given for the i prize. Robert Hodges received second prize. His box contained one ; dollar and thirty cents. , After the interesting program, Mrs. Bamberg served a dainty and , delicious course. Am sure each one ( present will look back with very ten- ( der recollectibns of the afternoon so pleasantly spent. . And may the sacred ties which ? shall soon depend on many of these | little "tots" of the Mite Box Brigade sink deep into their little hearts now, and as each enters womanhood and manhood perform many sacred duties worthy to be remembered. I Kailroad Wrecks. Bamberg seems to have been an | unfortunate point from a railroad | standpoint the past week. Last Friday night the passenger train going to Augusta ran into a freight engine at the siding just in front of the passenger station. The collision was a "sideswipe," and while nobody was hurt to amount to anything, considerable damage was done to the two engines. The freight engine had been doing some shifting and was attempting to get back into the siding and had not quite gotten clear when the passenger engine ran into it. As stated, both engines were I damaged considerably, and the track j was also torn up right badly. The j ' ? ?^ dnloroH Vioro until I passeugei & ?CiC ucia;&u v. UUv.. j about one o'clock Sunday morning. 1 Neither engine left the track, and it was remarkable that nobody was 1 hurt. 1 Sunday morning after the track was repaired several freight cars jumped the track at the same point, and again on Monday morning some more freight cars got off right at the same place, delaying the down ( I passenger train for some time.

THE MILLINERY STORE. (C. W. Rentz, Proprietor.) The Ministry as a Life-Work. Bamberg, March 10.?The Rev. Robert S. Truesdale, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of Charleston, delivered the fifth of the series of life-work lectures which are being delivered before the students of the Carlisle Fitting School Friday night, on "The Ministry as a Life Work." A large audience had gathered in the school auditorium to hear Dr. Truesdale. who..has many friends here, and his thrilling, inspiring exposition of the glory of the ministry as a life work made a manifestly profound impression. The first part of Mr. Truesdale's lecture was devoted to a presentation Df some of the work that was a minister's and some of the essential qualities of a successful minister. The preacher must be a man of vision. The speaker at times was eloquent in describing the present day i/Nr>o TL*VnVh paIIpH fnr men nf ?? u*vu ^ ? vision. "When men are rushing on, money-mad and pleasure-mad," declared the speaker, "we need men who can see the end of all this, stand in the midst of them and proclaim the unsearchable riches of the Gospel of Christ." The speaker urged in no uncertain terms the necessity pf men who could check the tendency of the modern American home. "There was a time when we could find a large, happy family, with ten children, and not a single servant; aow we find maijy homes with ten servants and not a single child." The preacher must be a man who thinks for other folk. The speaker paid a beautiful tribute to Phillips Brooks as the man who saved America when men were waging a great theological battle as to the Divinity of Christ. "Men would crowd into old Trinity church," he said, "and come away saying: 'Thank God that Phillips Brooks still believes in him and that he can save men from their sins.' " The true preacher sees for his people, thinks for them and feels for them. Mr. Truesdale spoke of the burden upon the heart of the true pastor as he saw his people indulging in questionable practices. "Now I want to tell you why I am in the ministry," he said, and told the story of his own struggle for an education in answer to the call to the ministry. As he recounted the thrilling and even dramatic story the audience realized that they were listening to a hero of the Gospel. "I would not have done it for the lav/," he said. "I would not have done it for medi/ cine; I would not have done it for anything save to answer the call of my Father to give my life to His ministry." "I present to you the ministry, young men, not as altogether attractive, but as altogether good." For three days before his lecture Mr. Truesdale held a series of evangelistic services for the students. Much interest wras manifested and doubtless much good done. The next and last lecture of the series will be delivered next Friday evening, March 15, on "Law as a Life Work," by former Chief Justice Ira B. Jones. Reflections of a Bachelor. Pedigree;; pay more penalties than dividends. Special grill rooms reserved in the next world for politicians-. A man judges a girl's charms by how she appreciates his brains. It's better for a man to know too little to do him any good than just enough to do him harm. What hurts a woman's pride more than anything else is for her husband's name to be spelled wrong in the telephone book. Hope maketh the bill collector call again. Ecaping poverty is just as hard as capturing riches-. A woman has the children so a man thinks he knows how to raise them. What makes a man so proud of himself is he wouldn't be if he were any sort of a judge. The man who succeeds is never, able to tell how he does it, and the man who can always tell how he does it is never able to succeed. Might be Lucky. The mistress was giving Harriet the benefit of her advice and counsel touching a momentous step the latter contemplated. "Of course, Harriet," said the lady of the house, "if you intend to get married, that's your own business; but you mustn't forget that marriage o rorv otnrirmc mnttpr io a v^i j uvi ivuw aaawvw "Yis, mum," said Harriet. "Yis, mum; I know 'tis, sometimes, mum. But mum, maybe I'll have better luck than you did, nvum." And many a homely girl's popularity with the male contingent is due to the fact that she has a rich father. It takes nerve to enable a man to achieve success?and a lot more to enable him to explain satisfactorily why he didn't.

"Owing to a railroad smash-up I pi got left in a little Nebraska town tr one night a year ago," said the com- gj mercial traveller, as reported in the Boston Herald, "and the way I came 21 in contact with a trust almost made my hair stand on end. st "It was a wretched town and a th still worse hotel. My room was small cu and the bed was as hard as a board, a: I got up feeling mad, and after a miserable breakfast, I was ready to cc boil over. The boiling came when the landlord presented me with a bill iD of $4. 4j " Ts this correct?' I asked as I m looked at the figures. m " 'Entirely so.' he replied. m " 'Then you are an old highway robber.' M "The landlord had three sons, and g? I when they began to take a share in p; the altercation I turned on them and made a number of fiery remarks. ac When I stopped for breath the old jn man, who turned out to be a justice y( of the peace, sat. down in his chair and calmly announced: m " 'Hear ye! Hear ye! I now declare, ft this court duly opened. James, have pi you any business?' y " 'I have,' replied his eldest son, cc who announced to me that he was a S constable, and that I was under arrest. He then made a charge against me, one of the other brothers testi- a fied as to my language and his honor tt fined me $10. As the third brother ri hadn't taken any part, I turned to tt him and sarcastically asked: m " 'Where do you come in?' tt " 'Me,' he replied. 'Oh, I'm the m local marshal, and, as you are evi- ai dently a desperate character, I shall P< lock you up for a couple of days ni and then run you out of town.' se "It was a little family trust, you ci see," smiled the commercial travel- bj ler, "and I couldn't beat it. I was locked up for 48 hours, but I had to al pay the hotel bill and the fine, and c< when I was at liberty and got my = mouth open to say something else the jailer laid a hand on my arm and ^ .whispered: " 'Don't do it. I am the old man's __ son-in-law, and if you kick against my jail he'll make your next stop E twenty days.' " ^ Robe suits, robe suits, flounc-1 hi ings, flouncings. THE MILLINERY I c STORE, (C. W.

The United States army can now obably claim the world's juvenile avelling record by virtue of the obe trotting of Miss Julia D. Kitts, lughter of Lieut William P. Kitts, 1st United States Infantry. Incidentally her record sheds a rong light upon the mutations of ^ e army officer and the frequent reirrence of "moving day," says the rmy and Navy Journal. The child was born in Fort Lin?ln, N. D., April 29, 1904, and was ie first baby born at that post. With. three weeks she had travelled >2 miles; within two months, 1,250 i iles; within six months, 3,750 iles, and within one year, 13,300 iles. In this short time the baby id travelled from North Dakota to innesota, to the Atlantic coast, to in Francisco, and thence across the acific to the Phillipines. It took her only two years more to f Id 17,000 miles to her record, makg the total distance covered in three jars, 32,200 miles a year. She has jpt on going, and at present has ore than 46,000 miles to her cred. This wonderful tourist, who could it to shame Phineas Fogg, Jules erne's travelling hero, has nearly * >mpleted her second tour of foreign irvice with the regiment. Let no boy think he can be made , gentleman by the clothes he wears, ie horse he rides, the stick he cares, the dog that trots after him, ie house that he lives in or the oney he spends.

By keeping himdf neat and respectable. By being vil and courteous. By respecting imself and others. By doing the sst he knows, and finally and above .1 by fearing God and keeping His >mmandments. ============================= 4 SPECIAL NOTICES. dvertisements Under This Head 25c.
