Stewart in various sections of the countyv have been trying to persuade him to run for the legislature. but not until this week did he yield to the strong pressure. lie has lbeen out of politics several years and very reluctantly con sented to enter again. but the call for his services was so pres sing that he could not de other wise.

He had len in feeble henlth for mmec time, but not until about two weks ago was lie forced to tke his bed, and after that his decline was rapid until the end. All that loving hands and the most skilled physicians could do was done, but that dreaded dis case Brights, soom claimed him its victim. ie was oneC of the best citi zns of the county. Modest and quiet in disposition, he was al ways cheerful andl ready to lend a helping hand. Kind hearted anl friendly and best of all, a Christian.

Hendricks The attractive home of Mrs. J. Troup Partridge was a bower of loveliness Wednesday after noon, when she was "at home" in honor of her sister, Mrs. Geo. Robert Hendricks. The decorations were simple but effective; quantities of trail ing ivy, palms, ferns and nas turtiums being artistically ar ranged, forming a background for the handsomely gowned wo men that thronged the parlors from 5 to 7 o'clock. Receiving with Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Partridge were Mrs. Larry C. Thornley and Miss Elinor Knight. After registering in the guest book, refreshments were served by Mrs. G. F. Kirby and Mis. S. B. Johnson. On the dainty hand painted plates was placed angel ford cake, while a grace ful border of nasturtiums form ed a pretty setting for the mound of nesselrode cream. Miss Mattie Findlay presided over the punch bowl. Mrs. Hendricks' petite loveli ness was enhanced with an elaborate lingerie gown, the flimy lace being caught with a sunburst of diamonds, and wear ing a large black picture hat, while the soft draperies of em broidered acru crepon with touches of myrtle gre. n messa line, brought into perfection the graceful lines of the slender foim of Mrs. HendriPks, W. 0.

Mr. Editor:--While reading and studying about the condi tion of our government, both State and national, and the general condition of her citizens it is enough to cause one to tremble knowing that desola tion must take place, because Christ said every Kingdom di vided ag ainst itself is brought t~o desolation. Luke 11-17. And we know his word is true for he said heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away. This has been fulfilled once to our nation, when a half a cen tury ago t he n irth and south divided and was brought to desolation, poverty and ruin. But God again hats blessed us to be a prosperouIs and wealthy nation, and w -have every thing that hem t could wish. But we are like the lepers that were cleansed, have not given God the glory. Luke.17: 12-19. WeT boast of our shrewd and energetic spirit being the cause of our wealth, but Paul said I have planted. Apollos watered but God gave the increase. Cor. :3: 6. If we could only realize th at God gives us all we have and are. we would be happy in this world. People, he said. sell that ye have and give alms. Provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fail not, where no thief approacheth neither moth corrupteth. So here we are today a nar row, selfish, jealous-hearted people, without natural affec tion. truce breakers, hateful and hating one another. Di Ivided on politics. Divided on religious matters, almost to i.n in the hill. Let us begin to exartiltie ourselves and get rig) with God that we may. escal wheft the overflowing scours comei. We know these thing ought not to be, but we say ti other fellow is to blame all th time and never stop to se whether we ourselves ai murderers, drunkards, thievec liars. tattlers or what. If w find ourselves in this conditio we must be born again then w will love our enemies and bles them which curse us and pra for them which despitefully us us. Then it would be a littl heaven on earth. I will close by saying "Uniteo we stand, divided we fall." XXX Children's Day at Peters Creel Sunday, July 14, at an earl' hour, the people began to gath er at Peters Creek church, an< at half past ten the church wa packed. The exercises began at 10:3( with singing, led by Prof. Bold ing. After singing several song the school was led in prayer by Rev. J. E. Foster. The scrip ture lesson was read by the sup erintendent, MyFall Baker, and prayer followed, led by the pas tor, Rev. L. H. Raines. The hildren's exercises were thet rendered, and well di they per. Eorm Prof. Bolding and wif( ang several duets. and othen guartettes. After the children's ixercises, the pastor made a few remarks, and was followed by Rev. W. F. Wilkins, whose ad fress was one of help and enjoy nent. At 12:30 o'clock we adjourned .or dinner. The table was spread inder a huge oak in the yard, mnd was laid with all mannei >f delicious edibles. The afternoon service was de voted to singing. Prof. Bolding mnd Mr. James Robinson lead. ng. At 3 o'clock the meeting c os ad, and the crowd began to gc dome, feeling that they had had a great day and wishing, I be tieve, that they were children igain, for Jesus said, "Of such i the kingdom of heayen." (This communication reached as too late for publication lasi week.) -The Wet and Dry Year The oldest citizens living in~ Pumpkintown, some now neai be 90 mark, can tell of the dry ear, but they all agree thai his has been the wettest yeai theyv Ibave .ever witnessed. It was so wet in the spring that people could not plant a full crop and the continued wetness has made it impossible to work what they did plant. The peo pe in this section have had ontj rour dry days to plow when thi land was in order in il weeki -one day in each wteek. Manl acres planted have been drown Bd out.There will be at least500( bushes less corn in the town ships, We cannot now stat4 how cotton will be. Citizen Partridges in Pickens There are two kinds of par tridges in Pickens, which i, very unusual, and it is doubtfu if any other place any where car boast of a similar state of affairn Mr. J. T. Partridge, conducto on the Pickens railroad, has wife and two children, and o: course they are Patridg -s. $u not being satisfled with his OWI little grou~p, he secured a doaei partridge eggs, put them unde: a bantam hen and now has covey of fine birds. They ar< quite smiall now, but he hopes ti raise them to be large enougi for his Partridges to consu.3 these partridges. A Beautdful Service. At the Presbyterian churci last Sunday afternoon Rev. J C. Baily, Jr., was installed a pastor. The services wer simple, yet beautiful and i pressive. A committee ha' been appointed by the Piedmon Presbytery to conduct thee services and consisted of Dr. J G. Law, of Walhalla. Rev D. P. Junkin, of Piedmont and Mr. W. C. Hughes. of Walhalla Mr. Hughes being unable to al tend his place ,vas filled by [Rex C. D. Waller, the new nastor a Easley. The services opened with tbi usual devotional preliminari< after which Rev, D. P. Junki preached an excellent and forco ful sermon. At the conclusic of the sermon Rev. Mr. Bale was asked to stand and as he di so Rev. Junkin proceeded to pri pound certain questions tb hia relating .to his assume-.n .1 the obligatique as pastor Qf tL r Lt BIGOR e . ,1=3 :s Some of th t, COME EARL Ileath church, these questions being in the nature of a covenant on his part. A similar service was carried out on the part of the member ship and a like covenant enter ed into. Dr. J. G. Law then delivered one of the strongest and most impressive charges to the new pastor as to his duties and obligations ever heard. The Rev. C. D. Waler charged the church and it would have been helpful to many who were absent to have heard It. This closed the service and the benediction was pronounced by the -new pastor, Rev. J. C. Bailey, Jr., Mr. Bailey is a strong preacher and the church at this place is to be congratu lated in securing him as its -pastor. He has been pastor at Liberty, where he lives, for several years and also at Central and Carmel. He will preach at this place each first Sunday at 11 o'clock a. m. A Near Fire A near fire occurred on Mon day night at the home of Mr. M1 F. Retr, and the fact that the house was not totally destroyed is indeed remarkable. The elec tric lights not being on, a can dle was placed on the mantel piece in the front hall upon the household's retiring~ for the night Upon arising the next morning, it was discovered that the can dle had during the night ignited the mantel scarf, which in turn fired a large picture on the wall just above, partly destroying it. Bits of the scarf scorched the floor where they fell. That the fire voluntarily extinguished it self and did no serious damage is certainly a miraolo, CASTOGIA rer baata a Oblaren. rho kli YulusAlwasplght 8 at.ot 4f ~i aBUSINESS LOCALS FOR SALE-40 acres fin farm land.
