was he heard to speak evil of any g
one, and an oath was not known to
pass his lips. Humble in his demeanor,
he never resented correct- Vl

He did his part in life well, and de"i
serves the rest he is now taking.
May he sleep in peace. W L B. w

Benson, April 18:?The Williams- '
urg county road plow, under su- i
ervision of Mr Dennis, has done <
ame valuable work on the road :
rom Nexsen's store to Cedar 1
svamp. 1
Since the county is relieved of 1
art of the extensive 'area that it 1
nee had,we venture to say that our 1
(ficient Road Engineer will soon '
ave the remaining part with roads
?cond to none in the lower section of
le State. I
There is much complaint of scar- 1
ity of tobacco plants in this section. 1
Mumps seems to be prevalent in ^
le neighborhood.
Saturday, after a little prelima- (
ary preparation in the way of (
lunder and a few flashes of light- ]
ing, the clouds began to consign
leir treasures to the fields in the
jrm of one of the heaviest rains of
ie year. It rained until late in the
fternoon, and now is an ideal seam
for sowing the seed of King
otton.
Miss Ulmer Oooks of Benson is
n an extended visit to her sister,
Irs Tom Evans of Andrews.
Mrs Maggie Burch of Florence is
isiting her parents, Mr and Mrs T
Duke. ;
Miss Anna Bell of Morrisville is
i
isiting at her brother's, Mr Robert
ell's.
Mr and Mrs H W Russell were
i
sitors in the neighborhood Sun- ,
iy. i
We were much pleased to meet ,
The Sage of Possum Fork," as he 1
as passing through our community
le day this week and stopped for a
;w minutes. (
j
We enjoyed reading Mr Eaddy's l
>ntribution to The Record and won- f
;r why this writer, who is gifted s
style and versatility, is so retint
these days. It isn't from old
je, judging from his looks.
Easter was a quiet day?glorious, 1
m-shiny?an ideal spring-like day.
i the afternoon quite a crowd ]
ithered at the Methodist church,
me expecting to hear the presid- 1
g elder, while others came because
me one said that some body else *
id said that they had heard that
ere was to be a marriage that '
ternoon. The preacher was absent, (

quarterly conference at Bethesds
church Saturday. Rev M B Kelley
of Clemson College, chairman of the
conference board of missions, gave a
forceful and instructive address to his
bearers,whom he invited to assemble
in the pews near and directly in front
of him. His trend of thought was
directed to the subject of missions,
which was well received by those
who heard him After the morning
service the congregation was invited
out to the table, where they
found an abundance of delightful
things to eat, with which these people
are so bountifully blessed and
their cordial manner of entertainment
makes it an added pleasure to
oe with them and partake of their
lospitality. WES.
