The old year has passed away and a new one is bom to us, but we can all look back and see our mistakes of the year just passed— | see some opportunity that passed by, or perhaps see where we could have saved some friend who has now passed to the other side. We all have our failings in this life, so let ua try to do more this year than we' didin the year 1909. There is op portunity after opportunity coming to us daily, but so many we let pass by, yea, pass by forever. Wn-* will agree with me on this subject? ... There will be Sunday rchool at Carter’s Ford every Sur day morn ing at il o’clock instead of at 10 o’ clock. Preaching every first baiur- day and Sunday and every third Sunday at 12 o’cl'»ck instead of 11 o’ clock. Our Sunday *cno>*i is pro gressing nicely at present. We nave a large and regular attendance.

Jan. 17,—Special' Seldom have the people of this community been called upon to attend so many funerals as in the last few days. Within three days as many victims have fallenjbefore his keen cycle: one young and full of hope, the other two* having passed beyond their three score and ten. The first of these was Mrs John W Kinsey, which occurred at her home near here Thursday. Mrs Kinsey had been ill for several weeks, but it was not expected that her ill would terminate seriously. She interred Friday afternoon at Little Swamp cemetery in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Mrs Kinsey is survived by her husband, four children the youngest an infant only a few weeks old, and several brothers and sisters. She was a daughter of’Mr and Mrs J H Smith of Bamberg county, and was a lady of many estimable traits of character. She leaves a wide cirde of friends. The next to pass over was James Kinsey, who had reached the ripe old age of 75 years. He died Fri day morning and was buried Satur day at the Jones burying ground. Mr Kinsey left a wife and two child ren, John M Kinsey and Mrs J A Bassett, both of Walterboro. Mr Kinsey was a good citizen and was respected by a large number of relatives and friends. The next victim claimed by the Grim Reaper was Miss Rena Gar ris. a sister of uur wellknown citizen, _|S. P; J. Garris, Sr.^. with whom she been living for many years. Miss Garris had reached the good old age of 84 y,»ars, and for the past few months she had been in failing health. Sne was a woman of firm conviction, and did not hesitate to express an opinion. She will be missed from the community. ’’Aunt Reny” was a fimilar figure to those who visited at her home, and had many warm friends. She was in- t*red at Smoaks Baptist cemetry Sundry afternoon beside her sister, Miss Pena, who preceded her about a year ago.

The figures given in this advertisement are worthy care ful study. The deposits of thb bank have reached high water mark for Colleton county. One-fifth of a million dollars b not a small sum. and indicates the condition of the county financially, a few years ago and the statement that a single bank in Colleton county would have had so much of the people’s money on deposit, would have been put down as a pipe dream. But it is a reality and an index of the condition of the county. The officers of thb bank are. John F. Lucas, president and diractor: E. L. Lemacks vice president and director, Paul Sanders director. These gentlemen are all well known in the financial and busums world and their names are a guarantee of the stability of the institution of which they are the head. The other officers are R. Ludlow Caebier; D. P. Campbell bookeeper and Hughes Murray, out door clerk. These officers are un failingly courteous, polite and commodating. It b they who have been largely instrumental in making thb such a strong institution. 1910 will possibly see even better results for thb Bank.
