Rev. William Roof, pastor in
charge, preaches in the Methodist
church on the first Sunday and
Rev. S. J. MeConi.ell on the third
Sunday in ?every month. Cedar
Grove Baptist church is temporarily
without a pastor.
We should like to see more
interest taken in our Sunday j
schools than is manifested at present.
On Rev. Mr. Roof's last
preaching day the Methodist Sunday-school
was re-organized and
a superintendent and teachers
appointed. But, as is too often
the case in rural communities,
the attendance is not so large as
it should be.
Farmers are industriously engaged
in preparing lor and planting
theiccotton crop. I think the
acreage will be much seduced
this year. One reason for this is
that many farmers are diversifying
their crops by planting tobacco,
then again those who do not
intend to cultivate the Indian
weed have profiled by their experience
last year and are going
in for a larger provision crop.
More corn is being planted than,
has been for many years* and the
an sibatidance
of that ceieaJ another year.
Success to The Record.

Carter, Walter Boston, S. M. C,

there seems to be an excellent
prospect for the Indian weed.
While these men have been so
busy for a week preparing for
and planting their tobacco this
scribe traversed six*times the distance
from Scranton to Johnsonville
to carry their mail, traveling
the total distance of 342 miles.
On last Saturday, April 19th, I

the field of Mr. S. B. Haselden, of
Johnsonville.

this kind of business, Tt never has
