CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING Citizens Ca.n Now Get to Work ?\nd Build Ice Plant Thc news editor of the Advocate is in receipt of ?1 letter from ii party who is desirous of locating an icc plant in the town of Bcn ncttsville and is writing for infor mation. The party stales that, ho would like for one half of the cap ital stock to he taken hy local parties. The man in question is now in charge of an ice plant in another town in thc state and has had much experience in tho business. Ho says that he has been making some inquiries about this field and thinks that a ten ton ice plant here would bo splendid investment. The people here have been get ting their ice from surrounding towns. It is probable that Fay etteville furnishes the greater part of the ice, but sonic comes from Hamlet, Darlington, Sumter and other towns. Of course thc icc is ncccssarially higher from this fact. In shipping it there are thc freight charges to bc met and al so the loss from melting By thc time thc icc gets herc it has to be sold higher than would be the case if it were manufactured right in thc town. Bennettsvillc needs more manu facturing enterprises and of that tho citizens, those who desire to sec the town grow, are well aware. Backed by the best country in the south this town could well support an iee plant as well as many another manufacturing en terprise. Another argument in favor of thc location of an ice plant is that the money would be kept in circulation in the town where it now ^ocs out. This might be only thc beginning of thc establishment of a- number of manufacturing enterprises, j The merchants, the real estate men, the insurance men, thc law yers, doctors, dentists, and each j and every citizen would be bone fitted. livery thing added to the town lielps not only the town as a whole hut also every person in that town. Il has often been said that Ben j ncttsVlllo needed manufacturing enterprises and not h'm g inore than un ice plant. Many ti hot summer day when thc supply of ?co is short thc people hove sighed and wished that ?Ul ?ce plant were here so they could hine all they want ed. Thus all around the benefit would be very great and a help to all. lt has been suggested that this would bo a good thing for the hoard of trade to take hold and push. They are organized for the j Upbuilding of the town ?md by a little push and canvassing they can start with an ice plant. -o+o Notice to Taxpayer*. Notice to commutation taxpay er?.

Each of the three churches herc (Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist) are being served by new pastors in every ca.se preach er and congregation working in unison, We hear that the circuit preacher is making friends right along. So while the foi mer pas tors (Dunlap, Dixon, and Swope) are missed by their respectivo con gregations, the work for which they labored so faithfully contin ues to grow. Our missionaries, Misses Carroll | and Gainey, have a blessed work of ministering to the sick, tho afflicted, thc poor. A work for which they are especially titted: one too, which could not be done by the preachers. Their hands have been full of w;ork their hearts full of sympathy during these days of severe colds cte. These missionaries need (and richly de j serve) the practical support of this I section of Marlboro. They must have tho" wherewithal" to proper ly do their work. Herc is a lite opportunity for the man w ho be-1 lei ves in Home Missions to show his faith by his works. Misses Sallie and Lilian Austin spent Saturday and Sunday with relatives in Ked Springs.
