t-hera Mr lien ton is to be congratulated
in winning the heart of
Miss Minnie
This marriage was quite a surprise
to the community, for while
the trend of events ail pointed toward

home from Thomasville, G.i., where
she had been attending school, on
account of the illness of her mother.
After the convalescence of her mother
she decided to attend the
Orangeburg College the present session
and had completed all her preparations
to leave for that place on
Monday, September 25'h. She
left for Conway on Sunday, September
24th, in company with Mr Willie
A Sen ton, and then and there
had her name changed.
Mr Benton holds a very responsible
position with Jordan <Sc Shelley.
Wo wish for thorn a long and happy
life
We have a very good school here
taught by Prof YV 1) Lowrimore, of
Dongola. Wo think lie wiil make u.s
a good and faithful teacher.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reacn the diseased portion of
t iirt unr Thoi'tt is r.111 v/ ruw> wnv to
cure deafness, and that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling son nil or imperfect
hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless tin- inflammatu n can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We wil) give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrh that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars

Iiy Pupa Brown to His Boys of the
Corn Club of Horry. The Method of
Gathering' this Year Differs Some
from Last. Saturday After Thanksgiving
is Suggested as a Good Time
for the Corn Show.
To the Corn Club B >vs and Those
Who Are Not Members Between
the Ages of 10 to 18 Years:
Prof Hatidon, of Cleinson, who
has recently taken charge of the
Boys Corn Club work of this State
wrote me about ten days ago slating
that the department hau adopted
an annual report slightly different
from the one used last year and
he would send one to each member
of the Corn Club of IJorry.
i suspect that by the time your
corn is thoroughly dry, the blank
will be in 1 asked Prof ITaddon to
send me a few biants for the boys
who entered late. If you do uot get
a blank write me.
Prof Uaddon writes very encouragingly
about Horry. We entertain
the hope that the dry weather
did not effect the corn in the county
as in other counties of the State.
* i . i
We have a .stronger corn ciud mis
year than last. The boys entered
in good faith. 1 suspect your corn
is affected about the same. If vou
get only twenty-five bushels I hope
you will make a report and when
you have completed your annual report,
send it in to me. Your ten
ears and best ear send in later.
Be careful about the selection of
your ears; they should be of uniform
length and siz^, the circumference
of the ear should be about three
fourths of the length. Keep from
rats and weevils.
The metaod of gathering this
year differ some from last. You are
required to weigh the corn in the
afternoon of a clear day when the
corn is in a dry condition; See rule
7 in circular "A" 74 or 75 of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work. Tnis circular or bullelin
was sent you last spring. While
the prospects of your corn were not
so promising one time, yet the business
men were willing to encourage
you by making contributions which
we will show you soon.
I think Saturday after Thanksgiving
will be a very good time for
your corn show. It will give the
school girls in different sections of
the county, who are preparing an
exhibit, to meet with you same
time.
Last spring when the boys met to
reorganize, they elected the one who
raired the most corn as their presi.-v
4- T n lr f hlo I D o gy a/\H Y"vl e n
ucti u x bill II iv Lii lo 10 a piuu
and if tbe boys continue to do this I
am unable to say, while I have seen
almost every acre of this corn, who
will be The next president.
To the Boys Who Are Not Members
-of the Corn Club Between Ages
of 10 to IS:
In traveii tg over the county I
have fuur.d several boys who sa d
that they would like to join the corn
club but had no suitable land,
I like to see an ambitious boy
have a showiug and I have been trying
to work up something tor you.
I have thought that it would be
both interesting and helpful to you
to orgahize an Axe-handle Club To
kuow how to make an axe-handlo is
worth something. We can try this
and perhaps next year we cau get
up something different.
I have worked up the following
prizes to encourage you to try to
make au axe-handle:
1st prize, a nice fountain pen.
2nd prize, $1 50 cash.
;ird prize, 11.25 cash.
4th prize. $1 00 cash.
5th priz3, 75c cash.
6th prize, 50c cash.
I mope these prizes will be enough
to induce you to cut a little hickory
next week and begin to work. Get
% i n i i i i
tne nanaio reauy ana Dring aown
the day the boys bring their corn.
Write ino if you think of trying
