We are not as grateful to each other for kind nesses as we should be. It does not cost anything to be thankful. Depression does not affect that, un less when the mind is troubled over many things we just forget to be thankful, and we have so much to be thankful for. God’s daily pro tection, arid His promises shown in His word. These we may be sure are never broken, and if we com pletely keep his commandments more of our prayers will be an swered; yet we are clay and a merciful God looks down upon us in tender mercy.

The car struck another car coming from the opposite direction on a bridge which was too narrow to pass each other. Mr. Bacon’s car overturned three times, causing his wife also to be seriously injured and his death. The occupants of the other car were unhurt and only slight damage done to their car.

Bacon, Tampa; and a sister, Mrs. Ruby Nichols, El Paso, Texas.” Mrs. Tresie McCain, of McCor mick, mother of Mrs. Bacon, states that Mrs. Bacon is doing as well as could be expected at this time.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Mar. 27.— Leaving seven persons dead in Alabama, a series of tornadoes to night blew into western Georgia and turned northwestward across that state to bring injury to an undetermined number and heavy property loss. It was the second series of twisters to strike these two states within a week. Last Monday’s tor nadoes also entered Tennessee and the deaths reached more than 350.

The other two deaths were at Pleasant Grove where the storm killed G. M. Tubbs, 60, a farmer and a Mr. Pate. Communications were disrupted throughout the storm area and a complete check of the injured and the property damage was difficult. Birmingham newspapermen sought to reach the stricken sections in c rplanes in the face of near gale winds.

X 15 Lose Lives In Blizzards STORMS VISIT NEW ENGLAND STATES AND VIRGINIA NEW YORK, March 29.—Post- Easter storms that shrieked up and down the North Atlantic states yes terday took at least 15 lives and caused widespread damage. Northern New England was speckled with stalled automobiles in ^now several feet high. There and in upstate New York and Perfhsylvania many communities werg isolated. Schools didn’t keep, telephone poles toppled, blue birds net death in freezing winds, snow and rain. High waves gnashed at the Maine coast. Transportation was a ness. Mail piled up in postoffices. New York state police advised notorists to stay home. A tornado wind ripped down buildings in three towns near Rich mond, Va.. doing $100,000 damage. Leslie Dishman, 8, was killed when his home was shattered at Lorreto, Va. Gov. Roosevelt was “snowbound” at Hyde Park, N. Y., ^ and snow turning to rain undermined a 5- story building at Peekskill and it collapsed. Cold rain kept all but 11,000 youngsters from the egg-rolling on the White House lawn.

McGrath Motor Co., Inc., McCormick, S. C, A total of 3,857,028 persons, or an average of 104,244 per fair, inspect ed the exhibits of the United States Department of Agriculture shown at 37 State and regional fairs in 1931, the figures of the office of exhibits of the department show. More people saw the department exhU^ts in 19JL than hi 1930, al though they were shown at fewer falr^.‘ The average number of per- sons'inspecting the exhibits in 1930 per fair was 71,218, or a total of 3,276,028 for 46 fairs. The total attendance at the 37 fairs at which the department had standard ex hibits in 1931 is placed at 6,643,535,. while in 1930 the attendance at 46 fairs was 7,090,524. The average attendance at the fairs at which department exhibits were shown was greater in 1931 than in 1930, being 179,555 in 1931 and 154,141 in 1930. Several of the leading fairs of the country report ed increases in attendance in 1931 over 1930. The success of the fair, however, from the department’s standpoint, is not estimated altogether in at tendance. One index to their value is the interest shown in de partment publications. A careful selection of the department publi cations suitable to the locality is displayed at every fair with the ex hibits. For 1931 there was an av erage of 8,859 requests at each fair for department bulletins. Department exhibits represent pictorially and mechanically the work of branches of the depart ment. Usually a carload of exhibits is shipped to each fair, in some instances more than a carload. xxi Chicago people contributed $28,- )00,000 last year to Chicago educa- Jonal and charitable institutions.
