Ross, of Greer, filled his regular ap
pointment here last Saturday and
Sunday afternoon. There was not a
very large congregation out on Satur
day on account of the inclement
weather. Mr. Ross delivered an ex
cellent sermon. There was a good
attendance at prayer-meeting Satur-
dav night. The hour of meeting has
been changed from half-past seven
o’clock to eight. The Sunday school
scholars practiced their recitations af
ter prayer service Saturday night.
They also practiced last Wednesday
and Friday nights. As we promised
the readers that we would give them
a report of the Easter service, we
will try and give it as best -we can,
as we failed to get a complete pro
gram of it. The program opened by
the congregation singing “Martyn.”
Then the congregation was led in
prayer by the pastor.

The chaingang is doing some good
work on our roads and we are glad
to see it being done. We are inform
ed that there are twenty-six on the
gang. ,
We are sorry to hear that some
young boys who attended Sunday
school in the morning, go home and
eat their dinner and meet in the af
ternoon in the old field or in the
woods and playfocards and do other
mean, low down things until nine
and ten o’clock at night. We do not
know one card from the other, and
furthermore, we are not going to
know. If the boys fathers would
look after them and see what they
are into when they are late coming
in on Sunday night and punish them,
they would not learn to play cards
and other meaness. Some fathers,
we are sorry to say, play cards them
selves and learn their boys to play
and give them whiskey.

noon. We are informed that he is
thinking of running for the < fflce of
superintendent of education this year.
Mr. McKown is a fine young man and
is held in high esteem by all who
know him, and no doubt would make
a good nian for that office.
