Saluda
The B Y. P. U. will entertain
the Baptist church members,
with a delightful sociable at Li
brary Hall Friday night Feb. 3rd.
Frank Bishop,- while on duty
at Melrose Telegraph Station,
was bitten by a mad dog. He
is taking treatment and we wish
him success and speedy recovery.
The Ep worth League gave a
box supper last Friday night to
raise money for a special chairity.
The young folks had a great
time when the boxes were auc
tioned, for the bidding was lively
and would have been livelier still
if the rule had not been made
ihat not over two dollars was to
be given for any one- box. One
young man recognized a certain
box, and made the first bid the
extreme limit, two dollars, and
needless to say he "received the
box. The evening was bad but
everything was sold and a nice
sum was realized.
Valentine parties are in the
air. The pupils of the Saluda
high school will give their's at
Library Hall on the evening of
Feb. 14th. The ladies of the
Methodist church are planning
one but the exact date has not
yet been made public
The Martin Tea Room and Gift
Shop are moving into their new
quarters. M. A. Pace erected
this handsome brick buildincr es
pecially for these ladies.- He has
given it his personal attention
. since the first pick was put in
the ground until he handed the
keys to them. This building
surpassing any in Saluda, and
many other larger cities would
be proud to own one like it. It
is on the main highway, and its
plate glass front and its, attrac
tive windows will attract passers-by.
The reputation of "the
eats" at this Tea. Room is such
that there is no need to comment.
The Gift Shop has proved to be a
very popular plaice ever since it
opened. With this new building
and an entirely new "equipment
we predict greater success inthe
future. These ladies have kind
ly offered the use of their place
to the ladies of the Baptist church
for a supper to be given Friday,
Feb. 10.) Lots of good things on
the Menu but we cannot guaran
tee that the j strawberries in the
shortcake were grown in "this
little mountain city. However
strawberries, violets and jasmine
have been bloomings all winter
and even self-sown seeds are up.
' Horray for Saluda!

To Stockholders of Farmers Federa
tion and other Farmers of Polk
County.
I am writing to you from
Raleigh, because the importance
of the matter is too great for me
to lpeep silent until I return to
you., v
The county agent and special
ists from Washington, and here
at A. & E. College are hard at
work, trying to hammer out a
better system of marketing for
both farmers and consumers.
The f consumer must cooDerate
v .
with us in order that we may be
able, to better our marketing con
ditions. " The consumers are al
ready organized, but they cannot
cooperate with us, until we or
ganize and work our organiza
tion, - What we need now, is for
every man and woman who are
now stockholders to .pay' up their
stock just as soon ras possible
and. if necessary tafee 'ihore stock
and then go out afeiyo neign-
bor and get him to take' stock.
The' first step in cooperative mar-1
keting . is to feel . the need ; the
second step is to feel sensible of
hat need or a realization of the
need; and the thira step is the
cooperative spirit. ' Now I know
here is, not a farmer in Polk
county who has thought the sub
ject over who does not feel vthe
need of a better way of market-
ng his products, and I also know
that every buisness man and con
sumer in the county realizes this
need just as keenly as.-the farm
er does. ; So realizing this great
need, it beh&oves every farmer
and business man to join efforts
our! platis - already on foot will
be- worked out as fast as possible.
Of course it will take, time, as we
don't want to go too fast, more
mistakes will he made if we un
dertake to go too fast, for as we
go, we must learn First lesson
s to learn to trust each other to
respect each other and to love
each other. . We want to be a
great brotherhood of Helpers
helping each other. If you have
subscribed stock and can't see
your way to pay it, come to see
me and let me see if I can't help
you or show' yotf the way. I
have agreed to serve as- your
president for a while, until you
can find a better man, and that

should not; take you long," but
while I am your president I want
to do myjevel best and now you
do your level best and we togeth
er will accomplish the desired
end. It is impossible for me to
accomplish anything but we can
do great things working togeth
er. Remember that Monday
Feb. 6th, will be the regular
monthly meeting of the directors.
May I expect every man to be in
his nlace on that day and every
woman in her place, I. must face
my duty and my responsibility,!
you must face yours just as keen
ly and let us all remember , that
to serve well is the greatest duty
in life and remember that our
Lord and Master said "Let him
that woiiid be greatest be ser
vant of all." Arid when our
last service shall have been per
formed, let it not be said that
we served in vain.

news this week, of the marriage
