It is common now to hear parent
and child having a wrangle of word
over the chores to be done. It is
common thing to hear an order git

this or that;" or, "don't do this o
that, I will skin you," and that i
the penalty for disobedience. Hon
can any one with common sense e*
p^ct a child to respect or reverenci
their parents with 6ucb discipline.
- Fifty years ago children were re
quired to revere their superiors ii
age and use gentlemanly terms i
speaking to a person. Now. a tei
1 year old child will use more disre
spectful language to older peopl
i ^an the older people do. Who is t
'Dlame for such reprehensible coi

in Conway.
Miss Maude Long was here this
week visiting friends and relatives
Misses Lucile Jay and Grace tlas dton
spent a few days in Conway

The public school here, which has
oeen ruunin^ for the past live
months under the successful management
of Miss Lucile Jay will
close next Tuesday. Miss jay is
one of the most ellicieut teachers'
in South Carolina and the trustees
here were very fortunate in securing
her services. Mr Harper is
making an elTort to continue the
school with private subscription.
We understand that some of the
citizens of Marion county are making
a stronir elTort to unioad Woodbury
township on Horry county in
order to reduce their area too
small for the people in upper Marion
to establish Dillon county. We
appreciate the position of our
friends around Marion court house
in trying to hold such rich territory,
but the voters here, on general
principles, will light the scheme
to the bitter end.
1 There will be a joint debate at
the Burroughs High School school
building on Friday night, March
12tb, between the Calhoun Litorarj
I society and the Toddville Literary
Society. Should the Toddville So.
ciety ;be successful, and we hear

will be duo largely to the untiring

(Raleigh Christian Advocate)
The angel of death, on December
14,11)08, having entered our midst
and claimed for its own our dearly
beloved friend, Lillian Morse; therefore,
we tho members of Clarendon
M. B. Sunday-school, beg to submit
the following resolutions:
Resolved 1. That in this dispensation
of Divine Providence, tho Sunday-school
detply feels the loss of
her bright face and faithful atendancc.
2. That Lillian's life was one that
would b3 well for all to emulate
since wo are assured that to her,
"death was only a dream."
3. That we extend to the oereaved
father and mother our deepest sympathy,
and while we lament her untimely
death, how soothing it is to
our wounded hearts to know that
when death claimed her she was ready
and willing to obey the summons;
and now in the gloryland she
basks in the sunlight of God's love,
waiting the coming of the resurrection
morn.
Father and mother, weep not, but
look up through your tears with an
eye of faith and behold your loved
one on the bosom of Ilirn who said,
l Be thou faithful unto death and J
will give thee a crown of life,"
Trusting that the sorrowful ones
will derive comfort from the thought
that their loss is her eternal gain;

Dear Lillian, though you havt
gone forever from our midst, yot
will not be forgotten; and youi
beautiful heaven is nearer and more
real since you are there
