Mr. Simmons Will Preach I will preach in the Pickens Baptist. church ne xt Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, old time, or at four o'clock, new time. This will be my first sermon delivered to the public as preaching. I feel that God called me to do this some fifteen years ago, and I have tried to satisfy myself along this line but failed. So J feel that [ have quenched the spir it too long now and have asked the church for the right and they have granted my request. My subject will be "The L ast .Judgment." Remember time and place, Pickens Baptist church, April 14. Come one and all, fetch your Bibles and let us study the wordl together. My reason for this notice is that some of my friends in the country have said that they want to be there if the Lord is willing and weather suita ble. The public is invited. Let us wor ship together that God may get the glory and the inner man be strength ened and built u9. A. M. SIMMoNS. Mr. ,James Berryhill died at his home in the Maynard section on the 25th ult.

Five schools-Peter's Creek, Mica, Ambler, Holly Springs and Oolenoy-were represented in all the departments, while the sixth school, Bethlehem, was represented only by a boy in the grammar department. Pa triotic selections predominated and the interest which tl:ese aroused was noticeable. The speaking of each con testant was best described by one teacher who said: "Not one of them failed; they just couldn't all win first place." Rev. John C. Bailey of Lib erty acted as judge. The following were awarded first place to represent this district in the final contest to be held at Pickens on next Friday: Nathi lee Jones of Mica and Norman Dacus of Peter's Creek, in the primary de partment; Lucile Southerland of Oole noy and Henry Day of Ambler in the grammar grades.

Easter Celebration Mr. Editor:-Please allow me space in 'our paper for a short account of an Caster celebration held at the home of sev. B. C. Atkmnson on Easter Sunday. With all the children and some friends Bssembledl with well-filled bafskets, the norming wvas spent in social conversa ion, and at twelve o'clock the good adies had one of the nicest tables that ould be set under the shade trees in he yardl. Then thanks was given by r. S. Leopard, a friend from Cateechee. ~fter dinner Mr. ILeopard made a talk n "'What is a I tome?'" Talks were ilso madle b~y th'' following: Rey. II, 'Atkinson, Rev. .1. A. Daivi, and lo.C. 8. A tkin '',. TIhis was a~ most! >lenannt mcenas J '1 A. An interesting Let ter From Cateechee Owing to Uncle Sam's urgent need for recruits Dan Cupid had not bedn doing much of late, consequently the ld miller had apout decided he would have to engage in other business, when n last Sunday, April 7, about 9 a. m. "daylight" time,' he received a call to come to the residence of Mr. Clyde Gil strap, in the town of Norris, at once. Just as soon as the old miller could get a "band" around his neck and a "choke rag" tied, he got behind a "hard tail'' and lit out. On his arrival at the ap pointed place the old miller found Mr. Ralph Gilstrap waiting with a "turn" he had stolen from Mr. Charlie Holden of near Norris. As the town of Norris is without a marshal and the old miller doesn't re ceive any part of the property in the deal, there would be no criminal act on his part to turn the grain into malt, put them under their own "vine and fig tree" and let them go to work for themselves. So by the authority of a writ from the Probate Judge, J. Alonzo Brown, N. P., granted Miss Callie Hol den the coveted pleasure of cooking for Mr. Ralph Gilstrap the remainder of their lives or so long as Raph keeps it to cook. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gilstrap of Norris and is a deserving young man, white bla bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. anc4 ' Mrs. Charlie Holden of Norris and ig just as smart as she is handsome, Two war recruits arrived at the dom icile of Mr. and Mrs. Thomps Maddox of Norris last week. Thomps named them William Henry and John Thomas and says while old Kaiser Hill is advo cating raising another army in Ger many he is doing his bit for America. Look out, Clyde Gilstrap, you Twill have to either come again or give the belt to Thomps. The writer made a flying trip to Co lumbia last week. While there we had the pleasure of seeing the last tokens of respect in honor of the father of our country, George Washington, and that heroic Wade Hampton and the Daugh ters of the Confederacy. We also vis ited the hospital for the insane, the penitentiary and other places of note. We saw some of the finest cattle we ever saw at the state hospital dairy. We saw cows that weighed over seven teen hundred pounds and one heifer two years old that weighed 1,100 pounds. They have 95 milk cows, seven heifers, 12 calves and four pure bred Holstein bulls. The records of the milkers we were told by the manager of the dairy is from 13Jto 13. gallons of milk a day, each. One pure bred Holstein cow, Annie Johannah Spofford.gave 720 lbs. of milk and 37j lhs butter in 7 days; her age is 6 years. Queen Lady DeKeol, age .l years, gave 585 lbs milk and 30 3-4 lbs butter irn 7 days. Edith Ma ple Crest Pontiac Artis, age 1 year, 11 months, 2 days, gave 621 5-10 lbs milk and 27 3.4 lbs butter in 7 days. We were told that the milk and butter was weighed by authorities from Clemson College. Ray Apple Klondyke 8th is a son of the most famous bull in the world and can be seen at this dairy. They have different grades of cattle at this dairy but the pure bred Holstein is the finest stock they have. Inasmuch as The Sentinel spoke alhout county candidates last week it might be well enough to say that rumor has it that Cateechee will very likely furnish a candidate for the house of representatives and one- for the office of probate judge, while the town of Norris may furnish one for county supervisor in the coming primary.
