Zion Re formed oongregatioa. They came and brought with them not only the "range," but baskets and boxes fall of good things to eat . The day being very lovely, a table was erected in the yard and a bountiful supply of edibles placed thereon. . It was a sumptuous dinner. There was enough left to feed the pastor and wife for days to come. But this was not all, the larder was filled with many good and useful things for the iri- ner man, and all went away with a kind word for the pastor and his wife, leaving behind them these tokens of love and good will whioh are now being thankfully consumed by the occupants of the parsonage. Our appreciations are hereby humbly expressed and hope to prove worthy of these and j other kindnesses shown. V ' N.' REFcRUED CHURCH WORKERS.

There seems to be ,nov higher law in the Moral Realm than the Law of Duty, except it by the law of love. and they -do not con flict. When one doas his duty he has also fulfilled the law of love; so we find the Jaw of duty su preine. Perhaps few men hay a yielded perfect obedience to this supreme law, but the noblest characters in this world are those men and women, in . whatever walk of life, who are conioien tiously trying to do their duty iix their sphere of ,life- regardless of'wMt others may say. '4x If,: when n9 shadows -gather. around you at the close of the day you can look to God and say, 'I have sincerely tried, to do my duty today," you can lay yourself down on your couch and sleep with no reerets to r haunt von in your dreams.

Rockwell, Jan. 13, Time af ter time' we have heard citizens of this town complaining that no one sends, in the news of the place to The Carolina Watch man, as nearly all are subscri bers and onr news has been sadly missed for th9 past few months. We have had io writers. There plenty of news to report at this time . The people here are making a very strong effort to get this place incorporated. The time has come when sotnetning must oe done. On Saturday night, January 7th, there was a colored boy who works near this plaoB, came over to do some trading and uposn starting home caught by a large number of people afid beaten with anything that was handy and to their own satisfaction, so we have been, informed. We have a deputy sheriff and a mag istrate here in town. Why they have not attended to this matter we have been unable to learn. We have taken notice that they were very busy hunting up. other affairs but so far. they- have Jbeen silent j in regard to thif. The Rockwell ' Furniture Co. has been doing a-large' amount of business in the . past y4ar and is steadily increasing. . The cotton mill here will begin work in a few days.

Pork may be dry-salted, ' or cured in brine; the latter beiog the most desirable for average farm conditions, because - it' ' requires less attention and takes up less room, when pork is dry-cured it is necessary to rehandle the meat and rub it several times with the curing materials "used.
