While at Anderson it was our most pleasant privilege of meeting Miss Minnie Lee „ Harper, of Lowndesville. To say that she is one of the fairest of female beauties living near that town would not carry us a step beyond truth. She bas had the best of opportunities, and they have most assuredly been im proved. In music she finds no equal, and in all other accomplishments she sb paralei with any. At Greenwood last Thursday Jhe following medals were delivered: Aries Hattie Reynolds, medal on music, pre sented by A. S* Thompkins, of Edge- field; Miss Mary Anld, medal for mu sic, presented by Hon. W»C. Benet, of Abbeville*' Mies Sallie fitaiworth, for scholarship, presented by Hon. Ellis G.

Mrs. Duist and Mrs. Self are both strong believers in the Shaft. Children’s Day at*Dornville. Last Sunday was Children’s Day at the Dornville Baptist Sunday School. It was a beautiful Sabbath day and Me Cormick was well represented. The church was crowded with a large aud appreciative audience and was decor ated with appropriate signs and mot toes. It has only been recently built and it was the first time that its seat ing capacity was thoroughly tested. The congregation was highly pleased and entertained, for the children, every one of them, did their parts well, and the singing was excellent, and reflect ed much credit on the superintendent "conducting a meeting.

Mr. Wilkerson from Georgia, in absence of the regu lar pastor, preached in the mornki'g and talked to the children in the after noon. He is a fluent talker, and whM is more important seemed to be filled with the power of religion and the de* sire to do good. The reporter goeth net into details, because space forbids, and to praise One and net the ethers, would be doing the others an injustice. All did their parts well and deserve much praise for the same,undin this the many readers of The News, who were present will agree- Thus ended the exercises of Children’s Day at Dornville and the writer returned home in company with his best girl, feeling that the day had been pleasantly spent and wishing many returns of Children’s Day at Dornville Sunday School. Look on the Bright Side* There is no such method of keeping the health as to look on the bright side of life and to keep as cheerful as pos sible-. Of course there are sore trials in this world, and they come to all of us soon or late, but until they do come look only on the bright side of life- To be always looking for sorrow will make the very strongest of us weak. Take the world easily; make time for rest and enjoyment, and there will be less need for doctors; The human mind can only bear so much strain, and hap py he who has the good sense to learn how far he can go with safety* Neither can a person be cheerful and healthy Who has nothing with which«to occupy himself. The more varied the work, so much the pleasure is there to be found in it* but even if it is one dreary grind, try to be cheerful over it and it won’t seem so dreary. Seek to find all the good there is to be found in life and look for the best traits In human be ‘mgs. If it seems all bnt impossible to find any bright side to things, keep on trying to believe there is a bright side and you will surely find it. rv To the Ladies.
