Warren was much encouraged. Several of the boys are showing up well and it Is probable that a number will go from her?' to Charleston to practice at the range there in order to try t<? secure the coveted trip to Camp Perry. The record at the range was made Thursday afternoon by Capt. Warren, w ho has had considerable experience st various rifle ranges, and who has been t<? Camp Perry several times and to Seagirt. Xew Jersey. I In his first trial Capt. Warren mad*' a record of forty-six out of a possible fifty and on hit second round of shots he made a record of forty-eight.

Di) Weather in Dark Corner. Dark Corner, Juno :ju.?Hot and dry oak treei dying in the woods, broomsedge withering up in the old thrown oul lands, the corn tassels parching up on the stalks and lice sucking the life out of the cotton go to make up a gloomy outlook In this neck of woods. But then it is like the old negro told my old friend. Mr. 1. M. a*. "He (God) kno' wat he doln." We will all ha\.- plenty of rain In His t-mj time, hut I want to ask how many of us have called up? on Him (God) In this our day of trouble, alth< ugh He has hade us to do so. How many times have I heard of our forefathers meeting and pray? ing for rain, (and they generally got it) \ hen we had a drought like this has been! What is the reason that people don't meet and pray for what they want now. as they did in the olden times? Have we become too proud or do we think it is no use to bother the Father, as he knows what we want? Yet he says, "I will be Inquired Of," and n^ain he says "Try me and see i " I erlll not pour you out such a blessing until there shall not be room to contain it." I am fear? ful that it is because we live in such a fast age that we wont take time to call on the Lord for the blessings we i need. If such be the case can we wonder at God withholding h's bles? sings from tie. J Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Geddings, of Manchester, visited at "Elm Hill" last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. B. D.

CLEARANCE SALE OF FINE CLOTHES "VTOW comes the time when we begin to clear the decks for the fall campaign of clothes-selling; we like to have' all the summer goods out of the way; as complete a clean-up as possible ; and we try to do it |by making special prices on what we have left. HART SCHAFFNER & MARX FINE GOODS The clothes are the same that we've been selling right along at regular prices: they're just as good now as they were then; such clothes don't deteriorate by time: even wearing them doesn't affect them as much as some clothes.
