Hebron, June 17:?Mr Jack McElveen, who has been in college at Columbia, returned home Thursday of last week and made his father's and mother's hearts to feel glad that he was a full graduate. We welcome Mr McElveen's return to our community. We learn that the county chaingang is to move here the early part of this week, and we are glad to hear such good news, for the writer feels sure that we have not had a particle of road work done in the past twenty-four months, and if Mr Eaddy expects a good vote here he had better hustle. Crops have improved wonderfully since the weather has changed for the warmer, but there is room for still further improvement. Some of the tobacco crop looks like it is going to be short.

He read three les- a ns to his hearers, taking the first 3 c om Psalms, 1st chapter; second ^ sson, verses from 11th chapter of ebrews; third lesson ti%m verses : the Epistle of Paul to the Philjpns. His text was 84th Psalm, )th verse. This is Mr Holroyd's t rst year as Presiding Elder and ^ so his first visit to this section of Williamsburg county. His manner : dispatching business, his attract- ^ e delivery of well prepared inter- c ctual sermons caused many com- c imentary comments from those I ho heard him. WES.

I am writing to remind the boys lat there are two vacant four-year holarships for Williamsburg at (j ;emson college. Last year one of t lese scholarships went begging, t id I hope that will not be the case 0 lis year. Besides the regular schol- ships there is an additional onejar agricultural scholarship to be varded to one of three or more ^ >ys recommended by the county a armers' Union. The boy or man s ho gets this musj be 18 or more c ?ars old,and his chance for appoint- _ ent will depend to a great extent i what he has already done in an J rricultural way. d The purpose of this course is to 0 ve one boy in each county every jar as full a course in agriculture i possible in the time. Those inter- d ted will take the matter up at ^ tee with Mr J T Frierson, Mouzon, n C, secretary of the county Farm- s' Union. The examination will ke place at the court house at the d me time as examination for other r holarships. I think algebra will >t be required for entrance to this ass.
