S. M. * E. H. Wllkes & Co. I MADDEN NEWS | Madden, Juno 5, 1011.?The drought through here still continues and it is getting serious. We me still hoping that the rain so eagerly looked for will coiue soon. Grain is being harvested while the sun shines. While the dry weather cut off the grain crop considerably, it Is better than at first thought to be. We were disappointed In not getting a full program of Children's Day in your last issue, but the lateness of the Item and the smallness of the pa per, accounts for partial report. The Children's Day program at Prospect is always a welcome bit of news to all. .Many who have left us eagerly scan it. for it brings up scenes and faces of other days. In far away Brazil, this time there will he read the report of Children's Day hy a consecrated man of God who 2:5 years ago made the first "welcome" speech at Children's Day at Prospect, and up in Vermont at the foot of the his torical Green .Mountain, lives a digni fied serious-minded professor, who on that same auspicious occasion gave us the closing address. To botli of these, as well as many others, news of Children's Day is welcome new;;. To thom it was an event of great im portance, in their happy boyhood days. Who knows but that the oratory of both these hoys had not its origin in their Childish efforts at speech-mak ing on Children's Day. Sunday was the regular preaching day at Quaker. Several of our people went over, It being their home church. Mr. J. D. Culbertson and family. Mr. Claude Finley and Miss Susie Langs ton were among these who attended. Mr. G. W. Proffltt and daughter, vis ited their uncle. Dr. A. C. Kuller, near Hahun Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Watt Cunningham has goiu? on a visit to his son near Clinton. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Finley spent Sun day with Mrs. Finley's parents at Cold Point. Mr. and Mrs. XV. 11. lludgons were recent visitors at the home of Mr. T. S. Langston. Mrs. Rhada Fuller and grand-chil dren, are now on a visit to Mrs. Betsy Motes, the mother of Mrs. Fuller. Mr. and Mrs. Leopard were here to see their daughter, Mrs. Wise recent ly. Mr. .lud Langston and Misses Ethel Pryson and Juanita Martin, were among the number who attended the closing exercises of Bailey High school, and also the Lawn party at Mr. B. B. Blakeley's. Mr. and Mrs. Thad Moore entertain ed their friends Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Madden and children and Mr. and Mrs. Bub Martin. Master Troy Jones has not been so well the pavt week, hut is up however, and cheerful. His friends hope soon to see a decided change for the better. ? Mr. L. C. Martin narrowly escaped a serious accident Saturday, when a bridge over which he was crossing with an engine, broke down. For tunately, no one was injured and the engine only damaged. It is up to the supervisor to keep the bridges in safe condition for travel. It was a narrow escape for Mr. Martin and his many friends'rejoice that it is no worse. The friends and relatives and I hey are many, of Dr. and Mrs. w. .1. Langston, will bo grieved to hour of the serious illness of Mrs. Langston at her home at Conway, S. ('. The latest message states that all hope had been abandoned for her recov ery. ig. B?REL.
