A series of meetings is being held at the Baptist church, Rev. Frank Pittman is assisting Rev. A. McA. Pittman. Mr. J. M. Jeter, Sr., raises the big watermelon this year. This melon weighed 50 pounds, and another from the same field weighed 45 pounds. I am told that these were of a variety the seed of which Mr. Jeter obtained from Mr. Hughes Worthy, of Chester iuuii^, nut i tun a.-tnuy on nit; name. Fifty pounds for a watermelon, makes a hie: melon and would take almost a big family to eat it. I saw one once over fifty pounds, but it was coarse and not good to eat. I notice that some of the men in_ terested in the Union county fair are urging the people to take interest in it, also by making exhibits of various things. I think this is as it should be. Even if you do not gain a premium worth your trouble, it would be a real comfort to know that you had beat the other fellow, fairly, and the defeated one would be provoked to do better. Then there is an exchange of ideas. We are not living to ourselves oniy.

So let the people help and begin to do more in future years. It is too soon to die yet. Be young. Did you notice when reading, when some one wrote up a dance, how many church people (how many Christains) figured in it? The young., er ones dancing, and the good old leading ladies, and men, deacons chaperoning and some good straight members, who would not think of at. tending a dance, staying at home, but sending their young daughters and all nevertheless, tumbling over the fence among "goats" and perhaps the church they claim to be members of, suffering for the want of attend, ance. What kind of seeds are they sowing? This is vacation time and Santuc's young boys are having a fine time, being urged by the charm of the girls, and with them 'the girls' San. tuc will soon be able to crown the I /?Alinfv TV>nr? w?..?<*j. m. ?*vii vuv jrvruii|? moil U1 UiC county will wish thoy had been born at Santuc, and will be coming here to visit. Some are learning the way now, but the boys here should be "lorever worthy the steel," but I hope while driving the girls around they will not adopt the ugly habit of going bare headed, a la the girls. Show them that you have a hat. Be a man. not effeminate. You will not have to grin so much in the hot sun. I like to see men wear hats out of doors. I have been reading some of the sensational trials of men, and I am disgusted with some of the women. With the present styles of dress? slit skirts, X ray one piece garments, etc, and then in the courts, hear some with "cheek" tell of the escapades before a crowded room and say the "man led me on" or to that effect, is enough to disgust almost any one, anl I have little sympathy for those. Some of the most hobbled skirts have a pretty audible voice them_ selves. What is the object of a slit skirt or X ray garments anyway? Are we to judge by actions? What next please? Whither are we drifting? Hey Denver. JONESVILLE JONESVILLE, Aug. 19.?Mr. Ar. thur Hedgepath died at his home here Monday at twelve o'clock, after an illness of three weeks.

Corn is doing well but the most I have seen is too thick. Well, the farmers are trying to make a big crop on a few acres so they will have a big acrfeage to plant in cotton.

WILKINSVILLE WILKINSVILLE, S. C. Aug 16.? In company with "Mrs Vox" and in response to an invitation we attended the family reunion of Mr. and Mrs. w. *1. Sanders at their home near Kelton last Thursday, Aug. 12. It was an ideal occasion and to say that it was full of pleasure for all the participants is but to faintly describe it. Mr and Mrs. Sanders are among the oldest and best citizens of "The Ridge" section and they and their family know how to entertain their friends and make them feel at home. We reached their home about 9 o'clock and found the house and yard full of people, who like ourselves had come for a days special enjoyment and their hopes were fully realized, for everything had been prepared looking to that end. Mr. Sanders was one of our old army comrades and for him we have always had a peculiar fondness. He is now in his 86th year and in full possession of his mental and loquacious faculties He never gets tired talking. Over on hundred guests were on. the grounds including the children and grand-children and great grandchildren, which if we mistake not numbered 84, all told and they are a robust, intelligent and good looking progeny. Everything had been prepared for a big dinner which was forth coming at the appointed hour. A long table stood in the yard under the magnificent shade trees and this was filled with the best eating supplies that the farm, garden and orchards could produce -and in the greatest abundance, fresh from the workshop of the culinary artist. To this our old friend, George Sprouse tone 01 tne mage's veteran barbe. curians) added a supply of hash cooked in the most appetizing style.

An extra table was spread for the comfort and convenience of the old men where they could sit, eat, talk and enjoy themselves to their hearts content. This one did. This special group was made of Messrs W. G. W. Going, W. II. Sanders and your correspondent. The waiters were diligent to see that our supply of victuals was kept up and the fact is, we had more at the end of the meal than we had at the beginning, though a plenty all the time.

The sub. ject was a big one for a little man to tackle and what we said or how we said it we cannot tell now. Vox. LIEUT. AI.VF.RSnv PROir.MC FROM POLICE FORCE Second Lieut.
