MEETING CLOSED. A two weeks revival meeting came to a close in the Baptist church here last Sunday, in which the pastor, Dr. E. D. Poe, did the preaching and Mr. Jas. B. Cravy, Laurens, S. C., led the music. The services were largely at tended by all the people of the com munity, the other churches of the jown suspending their services for the three Sundays the meetings were in progress, and the Metho dist pastor, Rev. G. W. Perry and his people participating regularly in the effort to lead the community to a better life. Mr. McCravy is a musician of great charm and led the music in a splendid manner. His violin solos were an outstand ing feature of all the services. Dr. Poe for the two full weeks deliv ered powerful gospel sermons, us ing all his pulpit gifts in a most ef fective way to arouse the church members and inspire the non Christians to the desire to live in harmony with God. As a result of the meetings the whole community seems to have been greatly revived in their relig ious interest, the churches have been drawn into a beautiful Chris tian fellowship, more than a score of new members were added to the churches, and the town made a better place in which to live. Mr. McCravy left early Monday for Washington, D.

Brunswick stew Thursday s! the Green Building—Next dopr tp the postoffice. SPRIGHTLY SPARKS. Gathered Here and There and Everywhere. I[ is lime to sow fall oats. The base ball season is over. It is beginning to feel like fall Now for the equinoctial storm. The dewy mornings of Septetn ber. Baseball fans now talk of pasi glories. The crops are yellowing for the harvest. The days are growing shorter very fast. The melancholly days are on the way. You can scent the may pops in the fields. The days of the straw hat are numbered. The muscadines are black upon the vines. Wild grapes are said to be plen tiful this season. 'Possums are racking by the light of the moon. * The song of the mosquito is not a pleasant serenade. The evenings are now growing longer and much pleasanter. Quite an agreeable change took place in the weather last week. The hiccough, however violent, give a pinch of snufif and produce a sneeze. And didn't it rain last week. King Cotton will soon come dancing in. During the world war Germany thought it paid to hate. Now she hates to pay. You can always tell when you are on the wrong road—there are no detour signs on it. Scientists have found a petrified skull, and strange to say it was not found in Washington City. Haven’t you always noticed that the man who wasn’t is always tell ing how well he was raised? Old-fashioned women are now canning fruit and new fashioned ones are canning their husbands. A Weldon young man is never in greater danger than when some girl tells him how big and strong Ire is. Even nature makes mistakes. She sometimes gives a fellow too much jawbone and not enough backbone. The grade-crossings seem to be abolishing the people faster than the people are abolishing the grade crossings. i! s atrtgnt tor teiepiione gins to give you the wrong number, but what if shoe clerks got into that habit, too? One thing that may be said in favor of the radio—it has made good listeners out of some pretty poor talkers. It’s a good idea to hope for the best, but to be sure of getting it you'd better roll up your sleeves and go after it. The prospects now appalling, And hope is not a cheat, With golden apples falling In showers at your feet. A writer says: "Dress is wo man’s great connundrum.” It is hoped she will never be compelled to "give it up. ” There are quite a few remark able boys around Weldon but we’ve never yet heard of one who washes his ears voluntarily. One advantage about living in the United States is that if things turn out badly you can always blame it on the administration. A man says he is going over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball. When he does one presidential candidate is going to lose one vote. A statesman is one who wants to do something for his country and a politician is one who wants his country to do something for him. What we'd like to have some Weldon woman explain to us is why one fat woman always thinks that another fat woman is fatter than she is. "When a bachelor gets a look at a new baby," declares Mr. Luke Shearin, ‘‘he spends about thirty days wondering what the proud father is so proud about." After seeing a man in Weldon the other day wearing a pair of those wide-bottomed pants we want to apologize to the women folks for anything sarcastic we may have said in the past about their clothes.
