One has to see this home to appreciate its beauty, spaciousness, and its panorama of woods, water, and ex tensive green lawns—a delight to the eye of the beholder. After the flag salute, the Ritual was omitted and, in its place, a memorial service was held for a charter member—Miss Fannie Mc Caughrin. Mrs. E. B.

Upon adjournment of the business, all were invited to the pavillion nearer the lake, where tables were laid for a sumptuous repast—po tato salad, pickles, country ham, hot biscuit, sausage patties, con gealed fruit salad, individual apple pies a la mode, and iced tea. Mem bers were loath to turn their faces homeward from this beautiful and hospitable place. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER There we were. Back across the forbidden creek with a load of treasured canes cut from the thick et over there. And the only way we knew to get across was on that old giant of a tree that had fallen across, with a big limb obstructing passage. Going over we had held on and skinned around it. But now each had his load of long green canes that he treasured highly. Ben took a cane and tested the depth of the water below. It was over our heads. So we had to be cautious. He skinned around the limb and we handed his canes around to him, one by one. And each did that. It is a wonder at least one of us didn’t fall from that giant tree trunk into the water below. For it was rough and ridged, and that big limb sticking straight *up was hard to get around. But our bare feet held well to the rough bark, and we made the crossing safely. Then wie had to re-tie our bundles of canes. The hickory bark had proved none too good. But there in the eroded creek bpnk we found a lot of unprotected elm roots. We peeled the tough bark from them and it proved al most as good as rawhide for our purpose. So, with our bundles, we went to the edge of the clearing. The cattle had finished their noon rest and had started grazing again. They were out near the center of the long opening across which w^ needed to go. We watch ed their drift, and knew it would be a long time, maybe dark, before they would reach the far corner away from our course. Occasion ally the bad bull would let out a blood-curdling bellow that re sounded through the valley. A decision had to be made. We knew we had to be home before dark, or the folks Would be so un easy, and it would also give us away. We decided to flank the wooded creek bank to the lower end and there hit the woods and work our way around to the other side of the clearing where our path led off up through the woods towards home. It was awful rough going, with those burdens of bound bamboo. A few of the smaller ones fell behind and began to snicker. The older ones fussed at ’em a bit, but waited until they could catch up. None would countenance throwing any of the canes away. So the larger boys took some from Furman Tucker Now In Marines Furman Tucker, son of Mrs.. Dovie Baker, Chappells, entlisted: in the Marine Corps at the Post Office in Greenwood the 27th and was sworn into the Marines the next day by Captain Hoover, the Officer in Charge of recruiting in South Carolina.
