MOWN N8WS Madden, Jan. 26.-A very appropri Ate prog'am was carried out at New Prospect school on Monday last in honor of -the -107th birthday of Gen. 14. E. Lee. Veteran Jno. R. Finley was the ?Npeaker of the occasion and the thanks of the school, the teachers and the officers of S. I. A. are given him far his interesting speech. Though he *as crippled up by having had his knee pierced by a thorn a few- days before, he however, came and re sponded to his number on the pro gram--an eulogy on his old and loved commander, Lee. He closed his speech by quoting the matchless words of Ben Hill on the leader of the Con federacy. Altogether the -afternoon was -pleasantly and profitably spent by the scholars, teachers and some of 'the patrons of the school. Our next event of local interest will 'be the 17th of February, when the Clemson contin gent will arrive to tell the 'pupils and the fathers and mothers how to -raise bigger and better crops in this "neck of the woods." Miss Ora 'Powers, our champion to mato grower, will leave today for a trip to Winthrop. She will be accom panied by another winner, Miss Mar garet Dunlap of Laurens, whose piece in a recent issue of "The State" was greatly enjoyed. We trust that the two may have a profitable as well as pleasant trip to Winthrop. Owing to the inclement weather on Saturday afternoon there was no ser vices at New Prospect-the first time duch a thing has happened in a num ber of years. There was however, the usual services on Sunday morning by the 'pastor. A very helpful discourse was given us by 'Bro. Martin. At the -beginning of the new year, the though he would have us carry with us during the days ahead of us, is-that we have the God of Moses with us and that the close of the year we should have gain ed a 'higher plane in religious life and when the life is over we should feel as did -Moses when he ascended Mt. Nebo "that the Everlasting Arms" are neath us." Mr. and Mrs. Ed Milam of the Holly Grove section, Mr. 'and Mrs. Reps Os borne of Hickory Tavern and Mr. A. R. 'Holmes, of Lisbon, were among those who worshipped with us Sunday. Misses Genie Aiken and Julia Cun ningham spent the week-end with the family of 'Mm.. Arthur Workman, near Cross 1111. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Moore were visitors of their brother, Mr. Thad Moore Sunday, as was also Mr. Jim Moore, the genial groceryman of the bial Co. The star of accidents was in the ascendey near Cold Point last week. Thursday, Mr. Jones C. Nelson was painfully injured by having a heavy switch tie fall on his leg. Friday, lit tle Frank 'James, whose father is em ployed in the stone quarry at Cold Point fell off of a high porch on the 'Whedler store land -broke 'both 'his arms. The little fellow 'is an exceed ingly bright little fellow and he showed the courage of a hero in his -sufferings. It would be a kindly act if some little boys or girls who are blessed with a lot of this world's goodls would send the little fellow some 'toys -to amuse him during the days of suffering -that are 'ahead of him. While my mind 4s in Cold Point and her estimable people, I wish to state that Mr. J. A. Wofford was called into a 'hospitalble home there a few days ago, where there is only a father and son--widower and bachelor and treat ed to a huge slice of pound cake and S much 'persimmon beer as one could want. Ye girls and old maids, this is a gentle 'hint to you. .No mere man ought tb be allowed to enjoy such lux uries as 'Si-mmum beer and Iced pound cake by his lone self, so, though it is not 'leap year get busy I Mr. and Mrs. Will Clinksoales and little son, Eward, are stopping at the hospitable home of neighbor J. H. Power, until their cottage just aeross from the Dean home~ is ready for occu pancy. It is 'hoped that our healthful climate may restore Mr. Clinkscales to. -robust health again.
