Central Items The new postoflice building is nearing completion. This will be a great im provemnent for us; besides, the new U. S. flag that Postmaster Rowland has purchased will be waving in the air just as soon as he can get arranged in the new building. A very serious accident happened just above here when a brakeman, Mr. Lon don from Atlanta, fell off of a freight train which was running at a rapid rate. His head was badly cut and possibly his skull was fractured, his right arm b~elow his elbow and both ankles were badly crushed. Dr. ,J. D.

R. W. Thiot of Geor gia, who ina commei to) help, t he jcito:. Pickens Boys May Be In Big Battle. After a month's preparatien the Ger mans began a terrific attack on the al lies along a fifty mile front Monday morning. Preparations indicated that it would be the hardest offensive yet launched by the Huns, but dispatches Tuesday state that the first day's bat tle was favorable to the allies. It seems that the fiercest attack was made against the section held by Amer ican troops and the best troops of the German army are being used against the Americans. The Germans advanced slightly at first, but our boys soon not only stopped them, but threw them back and captured 1,500 prisoners. Tuesday's dispatches are' full of praise. for American soldiers who seem to be proving more than a match for the Germans. The big battle is still raging and it is more than likely that the 30th division, in which are many Pickens county boys, will be used in it. Happenings Along Little Eastatoe Health is very good and crops are fine looking so far. We trust we will reap an extra good crop to help feed the soldier boys. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Winchester re ceived a letter from their son, Ben T. Winchester, who is now stationed "somewhere in France," under date of June 3, 1918. The letter was received on July 6, and stated that he was well and well cared for. Neither cotton nor corn is grown there, but the grain fields were fine. The country is much colder than here and the ways and cus toms of that country are very much different from ours. He says they can't understand the French language. Sylvester Winchester of Rosman, N. C., son of J. W. Winchester, was on a visit to parents and grandparents last week. He had to appear at Brevard, N. C., on Saturday, July 6, to answer the call of his country. May God's richest blessings rest upon the soldier boys, and let every American stand shoulder to shoulder for our country and lend every possible helping hand until this war is over. The Sunday school at Antioch Bap tist church is progressing nicely under the supervision of J. W. Winchester. Several from this section attended the Twelve Mile River union meeting held with Boone's Creek Baptist church on last fifth Saturday and Sunday and reported one of the best unions they had ever attended. The all day singing at Fall Creek, Oconee county, on the first Sunday in June, conducted by A. T. Winchester and others, was well attended and everybody reported a good singing and a good time in general. H. E. Bruce and Wade H. Chastain were through this section recently in the interest of V. S. S. and met with much success. J. R. Meece and son Walter made a business trip) to Norfolk, Va., last week. Mr. B---- of Cateechee is always telling about his mill grinding. We c'an't make things so funny as he, but we wish to tell what actually did hap len. Of course we are the miller and are acecustomed to grinding for every body that comes and the tenth of the grain ground, but we are not in the habit of grinding on Sunday at all; but to our surprise two ladies and two gentlemen drove up to our mill and hallooed to us to come to the mill. We went to see what was the matter and found one of the couples to be Tillman Patterson of Reedy Cove and Miss Net-, tie Chapman of Big Eastatoe. who asked to be mnade man ar.d wife. On p~resentationm of a permit from .Judge ,J. B. Newbery, the efficient miller (A. TP. Winchester, N. P.) pronounced them one. So the toll was paid and they wvent on their way rejoicing. Their many friends wish them a long, happy and prosperous voyage through life. The candidates are blooming slowly. I will ring off for this time and try to come again soon if this is not tossed in the waste basket.. Mountain Sprout. Red Cross Entertainment The Reunion and Mauldin branches of' the A. R.

Failure to comply with any of the pro visions of the new statute is punishable by a fine of $10 or inmprisonment for five ays for each day the concern continues n business. Soldiers' Testaments No more alpropriate gift could be made to a soldier than a New Testa ment, and believing that many Pickens county parents would like to make such a present to their boys, The Sentinel has secured a number of copies of the New Testament which will make par ticularly pleasing pr-esents for the boys. These testaments are emphasized with the words of Christ printed in bold face typ~e. Str-ongly and neatly bound in khaki colored Morocco grained water proof Ker-atol- flexible limp c'over, em bossed bac-k bands, roundl corners, khaki edges, gold title, beautiful em bossed American flag in colors on the outside cover.

The four great American hymns are printedl and bound with this sailors and soldiers testament. These testaments are made especially for boys in the military ser vice. As we have only a limited supply we can only let subsciiers of TIhe Sentinel have them at present. The price is 43 cents each. -Pickens county people had bought $81,766.25 worth of War Savings Stamps up to July 6, which is $2.74 for every person in the county.
