" " * MADDEN NEWS. * " Madden, March 27.-I've heard and read of wind and sand storms but 'if I am any judge, we experienced one through here last Wednesday. I nev er saw sand drift like snow before. I went to town that day, drove a young horse that is not exactly partial to wind and flying papers. When home was reached, if I had belonged to the rich I'd have sent foe' a doctor and he'd pronounced my case "nervous prostra tion" and ordered a sanatarum- As it was I grabbed the camphor bottle and told the chaps to hush! Mrs. J. R. Finley was pleasantly surprised when on her 72nd birthday -March 25th, her daughter, Mrs. Frank Martin and granddaughter, Mrs. John Putnam of Laurens, came out bringing her a beautiful set of dishes, and spending the day with her. Those who called at the Finley home during the day were her brother, T. S. Lang ston, her sons G. H. and P. M. Finley and better halves, and her nieces Mes dames Joste Martin, May Madden and Cleo Wbfford and Misses Susie Lang ston and Hettie Cunningham. Mrs. Mollie Teague, a life long friend was one of the spend-the-day guests. We all wish for "Aunt Ginnie" many re turns of the day. The congregation at Prospect had the pleasure of hearing Dr. J. D. Chap man of Greenville Saturday afternoon and Sunday. The writer, owing to sickness, heard only the sermon Sat urday afternoon. It will be numbered in my mind with the sermons I'll never forget. Usually I don't like to hear a sermon from a long text. This one was seven verses from the 15th chapter of John, the 10th to 17 verses-and I would not have minded in the least had it been longer! These thoughts I pass on to you "No one can live a faultless life but you can live a blame less one in the eyes of your Heavenly Father and it is an easier thing to die for Christ than to live for him day by day. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Culbertson went up to Greenville Saturday to have Dr. Carpenter treat Mrs. Culbertson's eyes. She has been having trouble with them for quite awhile. They spent the night in Greenville returning home Sunday afternoon. Misy Abrams kept house and cared for the children while they were away. Miss Kathleen and Mr. Ryan Martin who left. for Knoxville Thursday reached their destination safely and are pleased with their new surround ings. Master Gus Wbfford who had his right eye hurt was able to go to school Monday, his friends will be glad to know. The ladies of the S. I. A. wish to thank Mr. G. W. Chapman for the plow and fertilizer furnished us for our tulip borders. We are very grateful for the help he gave us. Mrs. May Madden, who has had grip, spent Saturday with her sister Mrs. Wofford and enjoyed the sermon preached by Dr. Chapman Saturday af ternloon. Mr. andl M~rs. Simpson Bailey spent Sunday wvith Mr's. Hi. C. Cunnighatm. Mr's. l10stelle Daveport who has been (utite sick at the home of her daughter Mr's. Tom Shaw since Chr'istmas, was to be carr'ied to Columbia hospital Sun day. I1er cousin, Mrs. Essie Atkins, a t rained nurse was to accompany her. We wvere glad to see in the account ot' Ilampton F'ield Day in The State that the medal for speaking for coun try boys was won by a Lu ray boy. The principal of that school Is a Laurens county girl and it shows she has been at work in her school. Mad dogs have been through here again and one good farmer came to the school house Friday afternoon with a ahotgun on his shoulder to escort his little crowd home. "Mama" said the little maid when she ,told me of it "Counsin Cliff and the children looked like the Pilgrim fathers going to church." In the annual celebration of Cal lioun society at, Clemson College, on 7larch 24th, the -declamation medal was won by Mr. John W. Wofford son of Mr. and Mrs. J. ,A. Wofford. There are many Advertiser readers who re member Jip speaking while he was a student in the high school at Taurens -a little fellow in short pants, and will be glad to hear of his success at Clemson.
