LEON T. PRESSLY, Pastor txi Sunday School Revival At The Baptist Church The week of April 16-23 will be set apart by the local Baptists as a week of study and enlargement in Sunday School work. Mr. J. L. Corzine and Miss Elizabeth Nuckols of Columbia will be with us. Be ginning with the Sunday morning hour, at which Brother Corzine will speak, there will be services and study classes throughout the week, the campaign coming to a close the following Sunday. We hope that not only the teachers and assistant teachers, but those that will plan to teach in any department in the future or serve as department sec retaries, pianists, helpers, etc., will take part in the study in that de partment. But our aim will not be achieved unless we enlist our whole church in the campaign. Mr. Corzine’s lectures every evening following the study classes will be a pleasure and a benefit to all who will hear him. We wish our friends of all churches to know that they are more than welcome. Come and work with us. G. J. SANDERS, JR., GL. Supt. D. V. CASON, Pastor.

The first evening session which Applications For Loans Should Be Made Before April 36 Approximately $100,000.00 in Federal crop production loans have been sought by about one thousand McCormick County farmers, it has been learned from the Field Sup ervisor's office. Those who have not done so and intend to make ap plication. for loans should do so at once as all applications for loans must be presented at the Washing ton Regional Office not later than April 30, 1933. Checks are being received daily by the Field Supervisor and they are being mailed out to borrowers as soon as the mortgages are checked and recorded at the office of the Clerk of Court. J. L. Cal-^- ^ houn, Field Supervisor, advises that it is not necessary for the farmers to come to his office for the checks as they are being mailed out at thd earliest possible moment. The loan office in the People® Bank Building has been besieged for the past several weeks by crowds of farmers applying for loans and a large office force has been kept busy by demands made upon them. x Enrollment For C.

C. enrollment be discon tinued in your county. It is re gretted that all the young men de siring this training cannot be ac cepted, as attendance at a C. M. T. Camp is of inestimable value.
