Qf Our town was visited by a hail to storm on last Saturday, which was not heavy enough to do any serious damage. I 1 J A-J IT Greelyville was almost ueserieu i ' cr * last Sunday. Nearly everybody ^ went to Corinth Presbyterian church, 0 at which there were preacinug and communion sei vices. d< i*be local camp WOW had or quite an interesting meeting on last tr Tuesday night, when six new mem- ^ ' bers were initiated into the mys- at teries of woodcraft. They were ably assisted in the initiatory ceremony by a team from Live Oak ------ j camp at Manning, cuuipuscu m Messrs|3arron, Krasnoff and Tur- Dl uer. I think the future of woodcraft in Greelyville is very bright. The closing exercises of the tl ^ Greelyville school were held in the 0 town hall 011 last Friday night. The p scholars certainly acquitted them- a selves in a manner highly credit- 0 ^ able to their teachers and to them- n 1 selves. The large audience was de- y lighted with the exercises.
