KELTON Kelton, May 28.?The prospect for rain this morning is pood. A light ] rain would be very acceptable after 1 the heavy rain and hail last week. 4 The hail did little damage save on 1 the Pacolet river but lands were bad- * ly washed. ' Much complaint is heard from the 1 farmers of bad stands of cotton. I don't think I ever saw the prospect 1 as gloomy as it is just now. Cotton I land has been replanted and many ' others would have replanted but did ' not have the seed. The little cotton ? is still dying, even that was replanted is coming up slowly, and it is dying. ' The weather keeps so cool that noth- ' ing is doing well. 1 me people of the Ridge were made 1 sad on hearing of the short illness and 1 death of Miss d Gault of Union. ' She was born and ?eared on the Ridge and had many relatives and friends 1 here. Her great-great-grandparents < on her mother's side moved from 1 Newberry county over 100 years ago 1 and settled down near Bethlehem 1 church and had ten children, seven < sons and three daughters. They were ' Dutch and the descendants numbers ' -by the hundreds, possibly by the thou- ' sands, all over the South and in Illi- 1 nois and other States. Her body was 1 laid in its last resting place in the ' burying ground at Foster Chapel in ! the presence of many sorroyinw rela- 1 tives and friends, the funeral ser- 1 vices being conducted by the Revs. ' J. W. Speak of Union and Rev. Mr. Kelly of Kelton ,the grave being com- ' oletelv covered with henntiful wmofi,.. of flowers. She was a lovely younp 1 pirl and had many friends who join the bereaved family in the death of ' their loved one. Her mother died when she was a babe and her prand- ' mother Gault raised her. Children's Day of Foster Chapel I will come off on the second Sunday in June in the eveninp. ' The preat reunion of the Veterans < of the Civil war to be held in Washinpton City 4th to 8th is drawinp near. Confederate soldiers, some who never have seen the capital of their 1 country will be there. I hope that the weather will be favorable for the occasion. Many who are able financially and physically will be there. The preat world war and the destruction of human lives and property is 1 poinp on. Why is it? We must trace 1 it to the sins of the world and God may be in it all. Look at Enpland with her miphty navies and millions of people and money with two other 1 preatest nations allied with her while Germany and Austria have been hold- ' ing their own against them and how America has joined in with the en- 1 tente allies with her millions of people and billions of dollars. Are they trusting on their men and their money ' if they are they may pro down with ' all their men and money. They had i better be pleading and calling on a just God to fight our battles if they ( expect to win, rather than trusting in material things. Our nation with others have had great prosperity. We 1 may have forgotten from whence this ! prosperity comes. Let us study sa- 1 cred history closely and see if there I is comparison between the history of 1 God's chosen people and ours and oth- < er nations today. The press has ' called on every patriotic American to do all they can to aid him in a 1 successful war. Are we then aiding ' ?no, instead, we see the great money 1 power, the speculators, comprinir nr trying to, on all food stuffs, etc., to ' add many more billions to the bil- 1 lions they already have and now the ' press has to call on congress to call < a halt? Cn we expect to receive a 1 blessing from high under such condi- 1 tions. God is expecting great things 5 of His people, whom He has greatly 1 blessed and He always has some one 1 to do His bidding if it be His ene- f mies if they (we) do not fear and < obey. We see the prophet Isaiah talk- f ing to his people, warning them of ' the dangers. Very few individuals or 1 nations can stand prosperity. We for- \ get God. Read Isaiah 28th chapter ' and then read first Kings 20th chapter, and see the result. God had warned his people what was going to be unless they repented. They did repent and He turned His curse into \ a blessing. It is not by might nor , by power but by my spirit, saith the , Lord. G. T. G. i CLIP THIS AND PIN ON WIFE'S DRESSER Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel U'p Corns or Calluses So They Lift Off With Fingers. Ouch ! ? ! ! ! This kind of rough talk will be heard less here in towa if people troubled with corns will follow the simple advice of this Cincin/iati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened callus stops soreness at once, and soon the corn or callus dries up and lifts I right off without pain. He says freezone dries immediately and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any drug store, but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Millions of American women will welcome this nnnminromont since the inauguration of the high < heels. If your druggist doesn't have J frce/.one tell him to order a small hot- . tie for you.

The crop prospect is the sorriest I think that I have ever seen at this time, cotton especially. Bad stands is the *alk everywhere, and I hear there will be cotton planted over today. There was a severe hail storm in many sections last week, doing a xreat deal of damage to cotton. Some have to plant over on account of the hail; many have to plant over because they did not get a stand at first. Well, it seems this has been a very strange year in many ways. None :>f us know what the outcome is going to be. We don't know the future; we can only judge it by the past prophesies and the Bible, it seems to me, is being fulfilled. I was at Union a few days last weeK anci attended the District SunJay School conference held at that place. There was a good delegation from the different charges in the district. This convention was largely attended by the preachers, not so many laymen or relegates as there should have been. Many good speeches on different subjects were made. I think there should be more in attendance upon these conventions. There should be more delegates from the different schools present. We people ought to sacrifice more time and make these conventions still better by going. You will learn more and be ready when you come back to take or have more interest in your own Sunday school. While attending the convention I was assigned to the home of Mrs. M. C. Lake, where we enjoyed the kindest hospitality by the family. The Coast Artillery boys at Jonesville did well *n their examinations. Nine out of ten stood their test on the gunners' examination. Mr. Roy Fowler, who is now at Union was a visitor in this section Sunday. Miss Louise Plexico of Lockhart is visiting her brother and sister and grandfater, Mr. J. W. Pickens, of this community. Jerry Beaty, a colored man living It is thought they ate some green leaves that poisoned them, as there near here, lost three cows last week, have been several cows to die very quickly after taking sick Some think they have gotten hold of other poison that was put out for crows. Too much of one kind of green feed is not good for stock. A cow can eat too much green cane and it might poison them or a horse, they tell me, can eat too much green feed when not used to it; it is also dangerous to them. I see Lockhart Junction got credit for two write-ups in last week's paper, hut I guess as you read down the ines you saw it was irom Lockhart mills instead of the Junction. Miss Amanda Dittle has pone to Greenville to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. Newell Smith. Mr. Hey Denver, I am coming down to see some of your fair ladies of Santuc before a great while. You had better have an engagement with your best girl; if you don't I might beat you out and have you dancing >r realing on both of your feet to get me away. Many people were sorry to know that little Maud Gault died in Union ast week so quickly after being confined to her bed. Every one knew her only to love ler. She had a kind, loving disposi;ion. Knowing her as I did, she had "iPPn siplf manv t imoc o 1 mnof ieath, but she bore it patiently. She would pet better and po around some, ?nd then sick apain as her sickness seemed to be chronic. It followed her, 'or the same sickness killed her. I .vill say to her prandmother, father, sisters and aunt: If Maud could speak ;o you her words would be, "Do not grieve for me, for I am where there s no more sickness, no more sorrow, sain or death." We need not sorrow ?s those who have no hope for Maud , s at rest. Moxy.

What Does I Catarrh Mean?l It means inflammation of a mucous membrane somewhere in the head, throat, bronchial tubes, stomach, bil iary ducts or bowels. 11 always means stagnant blood ? the blood that is full of impurities. Left alone, it extends until it is followed by indigestion, colds, congestion or fever. It weakens the system generally and spreads its oj>erations until systemic catarrh or an acute illness is the result. Peruna Is the nation's reliable remedy for this condition. It restores appetite, aids digestion, checks and removes inflammation, and thus enables the membranes,through which we breathe and through which our food is absorbed, to do their work properly.
