first—before our Christmas din
ner. We will not have an evening
service. The pastor will dismiss
the congregation promptly at 12
o’clock. What do you say? For
His sake, let’s worship Him on

other things which are wholesome
may be added. I believe our peo
ple will respond!

Mt. Carmel News
Three weeks ago the agriculture
class was divided into two teams:
the north side, and the south
side. Highway No. 43, and the
Ferry road being the diving line.
The purpose of the two teams was
to create competition, which was
needed for a sales campaign. A
farm magazine offered us half of
all receipts from subscriptions,
thus affording a means of in
creasing our treasury department.
After nearly two weeks of
earnest work, the south side was
acclaimed winner. The class had
agreed before-hand that the los
ing team would give a weiner
roast for both teams.
Last Tuesday evening at 6, those
attending, met at the school
house, and went on out to “The
T ake”, where everybody got his
fill.
Those attending were as fol
lows:
W. E. Chamberlain, Raymond
Henderson. Thomas Minor, Luther
Foner, Ashmore Brown, BroadUs
Collins, Jennings Gary Dorn,
Allen George, James Mattison,
Neal Walker, Jim Neal Workman
and Mr. Sprawls.

De la Howe School won both
games in a double header with
Abbeville High School on the De
la Howe court Tuesday night of
last week.
De la Howe girls took an early
lead and were out front all the
wav through. The passing was
especially good by both teams,
and the guarding and shooting by
De la Howe were outstanding.
Wright. for De la Howe, was high
scorer with 27 points. Guillard
for Abbeville shot 17. Seven of
these were from foul line. Final
score 37-21.
The boys’ game was a hard
fought game and proved to be the
thriller of the evening, because of
the closeness throughout. Abbe
ville High took an early lead and
held it through first half. De la
How* pulled up in third and
fourth quarters and managed to
be out front bv the scores of 20 to
18 when the final whistle blew.
Eight fouls were called on each
team. De la Howe made five of
tbeir free shots good while Abbe
ville was unable to register a
point from foul line. This alone
accounted for the difference in
score. Abbeville High has two
fine, well-coached teams, and will
be trouble enough for any one
who plays them.
