Thursday, March 6, 1930 McCORMICK MESSENGER, MeCQRMiC&, bouu ^arut*n* Page Number Eight RED ROW ••NEWS . We had a nice little rain the past week, and it feels like real winter instead of spring; but we are hoping it will not last long, for spring makes every one feel good.* Callers in 'the home of Mrs. Kittle Creswe.U Thursday were Mrs. Ben Spence, Misses Kate Spence, Alice and Willie Mae Wideman. Mrs. Lizzie Wideman had as a visitor her son, Mr. Leon Wide man, Sunday. Messrs. Jim and Ralph Wideman were visitors in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Wideman. Misses Alice and Willie Mae and Maude Lee Wideman were visiting Miss Reba Findley Saturday even ing. Mrs. R. P. Moseley was visiting her mother Saturday evening. Mr. Tom Findley from Honea Path called on his daughter, Mrs Leon Wideman, the past week. Misses Alice and Willie Mae Wideman called on Mrs. John Bowick awhile Thursday evening. Mr. Ellenington Jester was a pleasant visitor in Red Row Sun day. Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt Bowick and two children were visiting Mr. and Mrs. L .W. Bowick awhile last Sun day evening.

Their are lots of people around in the community who have been sick with the flu. I hope it doesn’t fly on me for I had my part last year. Those who have been sick are reported better. “Sweet Peaches.” —txt ' REHOBOTH NEWS The sunbeams carried out their Jhome mission programme Sunday. The ne^t president, Bernard Gil christ, had the programme in charge, and did splendidly. The contribution amounted to $1.02, a fairly good contribution for only 8 children. In many years as sun beam leader, this is the first time I have been able to persuade a boy to act as president and it makes me feel very proud of Bernard and hope to see him a great Bap tist leader some day.. Thinking of the sunbeams brings to mind a Sunday school class of boys and girls I have taught for years until this year when the en largement campaign divided up the classes and took some for teachers and others given to an other class. These boys and girls are scattered now. Some have made homes of their own, while others are away at work. I wish for all of them who read this to go back to childhood with me, and in mind gather back at the old class and think with me of the days I taught you. How interested you were when I tried to teach you of Jesus with no other aim than to help you to grow up to be fine men and women. I have your in terest at heart the same now and rejoice to see you succeed. A few of you are still here—others away. To each I give you God speed. Those who are away are Mary Luda Hughey, now in college, Perry Whatley a successful busi ness man in Atlanta, Bennie Moul trie, and Marion Traylor who are at work hi Augusta, doing well, John Moultrie, Hu<?h and Ans-? 1 Seigler of Edgefield, Edward Gil christ of Alabama, Kathleen Gil christ Harling of Colliers, Willie Culbreath of Virginia, automobile man, Carrie Lou Strom of G. W C. and Edward Strom of McCor mick, Eddie Culbreath of Edge- field, and Martha Culbreath whc holds a position in Augusta. In this class of 20 or more only one has gone home, Tom Seigler. . Superintendent Freeland, who is faithful to his Sunday school, made a request Sunday morning that all who would join him and his wife to meet at the home of his cousin, Miss Carrie Belle Freeland, Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock for a song and prayer serv ice. A few minutes before the ap pointed hour about the whole Sun day school of about 20 in number gathered there—all willing to face the cold wind to be of any com fort' to our little blind friend. We found her in good spirits. MESENA, Ga., Mar. 2.—Icy blasts from somewhere north blew down the main street of Mesena today but found it deserted. The town’s eight homes were snug with warmth from big pine logs in great fireplaces. All the members of the household were not beside the fires, however, for some of those in each family were attending religious services in Me- sena’s five churches. Regular pastors were in their pulpits as Georgia's most churched town went about its Sabbath du ties. There were no services in the two social halls, where “preach in’ ” is often held, and where all funeral rites are said. Mesena has only 25 inhabitants, God must have given the ex- ; all pious people. The town is in pre£sion of hei^ eyes to the lips, i Warren county near the McDuffie The expression of her sweet lips county line. Trains pass daily but were heavenly as she expressea ■ stop only when flagged. " . i — - - her appreciation of so many com ing. Supt. Freeland read some scripture and sent up to God a beautiful prayer. Several songs were sung and the scene was one of a prayerful attitude. The sweet song words surely reached the throne of God. Traces of tears could be seen on the faces of friends, tears of sympathy—there were tears in the voices. Miss A. L. Morgan also read some scrip ture and prayed. The patient little sufferer looked so neat and nice, the home was so orderly, the presence of Jesus was felt. Surely Jesus was hover ing over the sick bed, with out stretched arms over the little band of people who so gladly gath ered to in feeble way to coipfort the little sufferer. Just before the party broke up to go home, she was showered with dimes, some presenting several of them, and more are expected by the middle of the week. The fifteenth of April is her birthday and this is for her a birthday shower. Sev eral from White Town joined Re- hoboth Sunday school in the show er. Mrs. Kate Moultrie, Mrs. Dora Lomax and Mrs. William Lomax spent a pleasant day last week at Mrs. Moultrie’s home here. Part of the time was spent in the home of Mr. J. P. Talbert. Mr. Bennie Moultrie has recent ly visited relatives in this section. Glad to say Mr. Marion Winn is able to sit up some. Mr. E. M. Morgan went to Edge- field on business Monday morning. Rehoboth. X Greenwood Plans To Locate German Families In County A colonization project to bring to Greenwood county people from Germany and other countries of northern Europe, has been launch ed by the Greenwood chamber of commerce according to announce ment Saturday by J. G. Dowling, president of the organization. Otto Herrold, a native German and for a number of years con nected with the Canadian nation al railroad, has been placed in charge of the work and already has completed plans to locate sev eral families here at an early date, Mr. Dowling said. Mr. Herrold is being assisted in his office by Miss Johanna Prosch, German stenog rapher, who recently arrived from New York. Plans are under way to advertise the county through out Northern Europe during the next 12 months. S. H. Hart, secretary of the chamber of commerce, said that the movement has been indorsed and is being financed by local banks, land banks, railroads and large landowners and he is con fident it will mean the develop ment and ^cultivation of many farms now # lyhig idle and in sta bilizing land values. Mr. Hart de clared he hoped, with the assist ance of Mr. Herrold, to locate at least 500 families in Greenwopd county in the next five years. It is understood that Mr. Har- rold came to South Carolina at the request of bankers and business men interested in German colon ization. After visiting several sec tions of the state he chose Green wood county as the best field for his activities because the class of immigrants he will bring here are interested in dairying and he was attracted to Greenwood by the news of the establishment of a cheese factory here at an early date. xxx Five Churches Five Preachers In Town Of 25 Public Sales Made Monday Judge L.

Club Has Meeting The McCormick Home Demon stration Club met at the court house Wednesday afternoon. Feb ruary 6, with a good attendance. During the absence of the presi dent and vice-president, Mrs. Sallie Mattison lead the devotional exercise, which was followed by club songs. Minutes of last meeting read by the secretary and roll call. Each member was asked to answer with two vegetables she had for dinner: this being, of course, to see if members were carrying out food habits of score card, which Mrs. Stallworth is stressing so strongly. “Food and its preparation” is our subject for first six months. Nine new members were enroll ed, making our membership thirty nine. At the last meeting a re porter wasn’t elected, so Mrs. Stall- worth asked that one be appoint ed, and Mrs. E. J. McCracken was voted in by the club.' No further business. We had a very interesting dem onstration on “Salad making,” by Mrs. Stallworth, assisted by Mrs. Rush. Two salads were tried out, one fruit, and the other vegetable salad. These delighted all the “tasters.” Each decided to go home and try out on her husband four times before next meeting. We also tried out our muscles in “Smile Awhile” as well as our mus ical voices in learning club songs. The club is planning a big day about the middle of April. Come to the March meeting and find out what it’s all about. Reporter. X Letter From Mr. N. H.

McCracken, McCormick, S. C., Dear Sir: I am too sick to write now. I am 88 years old. I am lonesome. All my friends and comrades have gone over the border and I am waiting for the call to join them. How soon it will come. I think one of the greatest pleasures we will have over there is meeting with the loved ones who have gone be fore. I believe in God and I be lieve in the immortality of the soul. You may think this is a strange letter. All my life up to one year ago, I have kept pace with the movement of the world; had an interest in all events. Stuck in now for ten months. I have been practically an invalid.
