Martin district already had a levy of four ,mills, the re cent election giving them eight mills. The Easley high school com mencement exercises will be e e < May 28.31. There are sev n members of the graduat ing 'lass this year.- D. W. Daniel, of Clemson, will deliver the literary address Monday ]night. The voters of Montvale school J district Saturday voted in favor J of an extra levy of four mills I for school purposes. This makes ( a special levy of eight mills for this district. The vote Satur day was 16 for and 3 against. The patrons of this district have also petitioned for compulsory e(ducation, being the first district 1 in the county to do this. Who t will be the next? t Wade H. Chastain, one of the public spirited citizens of the county, has offered, free of rent for ten years, ten acres acres of land just behind the Montvale school house for the use of the school in teaching practical agri culture and for experimental purposes. This is most generous in Mr. Chastain and will doubt less be the cause of much real and lasting good. We under stand that the trustees will ac- t Tept his offer and will get a graduate of Clemson college as teacher, so that he may teach agriculture besides the regular studies. Montvale is one of the leading rural schools of the coun ty and is making rapid strides Ioward being the very best. 4 Pleasant Grove News Notes C Well, Mr. Editor, cotton thin- t ning 1s the'ordei of the day and A General Green is making good c headway. 1 Crops are looking fine for the time of the year- I Rose Mayfield of Marietta ( route 2 was among friends in this section today.

Owing to the inclemency of he weather there were not very nany present, four of Mr. and irs. Saterfield's children as vel as Mr. E. H. Galloway vere deprived of the pleasure of ieing present. However those iresent certainly had a ' nice ime, but 'the best part of it all vas when dinner was announced vhich was between 1 and 2 p. n. It was past the writer's isual time of day to replenish lis "bread basket" and the sus ainance of life had got below he standard mark, so when we aced a table loaded down with very thing that a hungry man ould wish for to satisfy a crav ng appetite,-our pen here fails o tell the rest any more than to ay we don't see how justice ould have been meted out anyI ietter 'unless it had been when 1. F. Hester of Pickens had een present and that at a wed Ing. Mrs. D. B. Saterfield is only 9 years old, is the mother of 12 hiinred, 11 of whom are living, nd has 42 grand childrcn. Mr. nd Mrs. Saterfield started in ife with nothing except their vearing apparel, have raised heir family and by hard work nd honest dealings now have a ice home. 107 acres of fertile and, out of debt and plenty of very thing around them. Their declIning days we hope vill be their happiest ones. We are told that the next day. hose four absent children, E, I.

Mr. Galloway is 61i years Id, hale and hearty, and seems o enjoy life the best we ever aw for a man of his age. He wns a nice farm near Norris, ives at home and it is his de ight to have his friends around uim. The 12th of May is his >irthday and he always cele >rates that day.

Werare told that a goodly mumber of Mr. and Mrs. Atkin on's friends were present, some :oodi speaking was had and vhen Bro. Duff Bolding sang a ertain song that the shouting vas equal to an old1 time camp neeting. Some peop'le are so supersti. ious (we style it stingy) until hey (lon't believe in a birthday linner or a family reui~on. We ce no harm in either when priop rly carried out. if we can en oy the blessings of God anid feel ds spirit on such occasions we ee no more harm in them than preading a dinner on the church iround. If we are too selfish md( hostile to commune together uere upon this earth we will ucyver he a guest of that reunion >eyond1 this vale of tears. B.
