The Farm Outlook.— Farmers and laberes are in no great hurry to make contracts for next y*ir, because they are uncertain as to what will turn up. It~ is ~certain 'Th'aT Tnfnib’iuus colored- - land renters will change to share croppers and 1 that many this year share-croppers wiH try the wages way next year and vice versa. But such changes come every year. A Christmas Bridal.—Invitations have been issued to the marriage in the Barnwell Methodist Church at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, December 24th, of Miss Lois'Moore and Dr. Wil liam Capers Milhous. Dr. R. W. Sanders was elected President cf the Baiptist Ministers’ Conference held in Orangeburg last week.' The government estimate given out Tuesday put this year’s crop at 11,- 678,000 bales, and the price dropped half a cent a pound. Several Christmas marriage are hinted, but the partie 8 interested have not given us their confidence and we know not who they arte. Dr. C. N.’ Burckhalter gave us on Thursday the fine treat cf a plump, perfect ripened tomato grown in his garden! Dr. Charlie is one of the few men that can do many things equallly well. The first snow of thi 8 winter fell on the afternoon of the fourth. The flakes were large^nd for a time filled the air but scon melted. Next morn ing the ground was frozen hard for the first time this season. Mr. John B. Rountree died of pneu monia Thursday at his home in Red Oak Township, aged 62 years. He was one of the best farmers in all that section. THE POWER OF THE PENNY. Christmas Seals have taken a lead ing part in promoting: 1. Protection of the public. 2. Extension of knowledge. 3. Early discovery of tuberculosis. 4. Proper care of the tuberculous. 5. Prevention of tuberculosis. In fighting tuberculosis, every dis ease is fought. Christmas Seals save human lives. Buy more this year—*the need is greater. In 25 years the tubercu losis death rate ha s been cut in two, but today tuberculosis kills more be tween 15 and 45 chan other diseases.

While rich men sigh and poor men fret. Dear me! we can’t spare Christmas yet! Tinas may do better—maybe not; Meanwhile let’s keep the day we’ve got! On Bethlehem’s birth and Bethlehem’s star Whate’er our speculations are. Where’er for us may run the line Where human merges with divine, We’re dull indeed if we can’t see What Christmas feelings ought to be. And dull again if we can doubt It’s worth our while to bring them out. ’’Glory to God; good-will to men!” Come! Feel it, show it, give it then! Com* to us, Christmas, good old day. Soften us, cheer us, say your say To hearts which thrift, too eager, keeps In bonds, while fellow-feeling sleeps. Good Christmas, whom our children love, W* love you, too! Lift us above Our cares, our fears, our small desires! Open our hands and stir the Ares Of helpful fellowship within us. And back to love and kindness win us!

OLLY,” said Jerry Blaine to his sister, .’’will you do me a little favor?" “Possibly,” drawled Mol ly. “What Is It?” “Well,” began Jerry, “1 want to give a Uttje pafty on Christmas eve.” •’Christmas eve! That’s not a good night for a party. Jerry. People have a habit of being frightfully busy about their own affairs." , “Christmas eve it must be,” insisted Jerry stubbornly. “All right. Christmas eve It shall be. old obstinate. And I suppose the favor you’re asking is my help on that most Inconvenient of nights.’’ “Rather your presence, Molly. As a matter of fact, the guests to be are all unmarried. “Why not have It here at the house?” “Molly,’’ said Jerry solemnly. "1 already have that party planned down to the very last bonbon and the only place I can picture it is in the old home." “How many are you asking, Jerry?” “Seven.” came the prompt reply. "Besides, 1 you, Peter and myself. A comfortable dinner party." •The Man of the Hour Jerry drove from nis sisters straight back tu the big square house that had been left jointly to Molly and himself. Today he strode through the long living room to a small study where he pi’eked up a tiny snapshot from his' desk and addressed It tenderly. “Phyllis sweetheart," he murmured, “here's hoping my wild schemes won't go wrong!" Molly hustled through the prepara tions for her own three youngsters, who had been put to bed unduly early, and flew Into her party clothes. Peter was inclined to gmmble over the whole business but Molly bore with him good-naturedly and carried him off In plenty of time. Jerry flung wide the door at their ring. Molly entering, stopped short. “How perfectly lovely!” she cried. “Pve been so busy with shopping, Jerry, that I’ve hardly seen you to ask what luck you have had with your guests." Jerry drew down the corners of his mouth. “You were right," he said, “as always. Six absolutely could not see their way to come.” “That leaves—” began Molly. “You an'* Peter, yours truly, and— Phyllis Row* You know she has no family at all." Whatever comments his sister was about to make were not uttered, for at that moment the doorbell rang, and there stood Phyllis, a lovely vision in furs. Molly, looking from Jerry to his pretty guest, was struck with a Bur den thought. The two of them made a handsome pair. After a truly typical Christmas The Modern Beauty Shop Blackville, S. C.

Then, softly, there stole from the study the sweet strains of “Silent night, holy night" Phyllis lifted her pansy eyes to Jerry’s and laid her slender hand on the arm of his chair 1 where It was In stantly grasped. "Every chance In the world,” she whispered. Later. Molly took Jerry to task. “I believe," she said accusingly, "you asked those people on Christmas eva Just hoping they wouldn’t come.” Her brother looked sheepish.
