ought to be ours. In order to
do this we are having to get
some supplies from sections
where they are not shipping
and really to have this source
to draw on we qan more prolii/-
ably market the meager supply
grown here. We svnctly urge
the continuous planting of beans
and preparation of large crops
of Irish potatoes, tomatoes, pep
pers, some squash and a heavier
planting of black eye peas and
the planting of other things
that will mature reasonably
early before frost, for Just as
we have urged heretofore, the
country seems to be out of some
thing to eat and the demand ex-
ceeds the supply. This looks
like it will increase instead of
decrease as the years go by.
Now that our different
plums are coming in, we want
to urge everyone to experiment
where they do not know the na-
ture of the plum by putting up
samples and bringing in samples
pulled about as you think they
ought to be to reach the mar-
ket and see how long it is be-
fore these plums are ready to
eat. They should be pulled a-
bout two days before this stage.
Let's make our grade high on
everything we ship and if we
have something inferior, don't
bring it in at all. Sell it to the
peddlers. They would be glad to
have it no oubt.
Trusting to make the next
two months the most success-
ful marketing period in our his-
tory, we are, Yours truly,

TERRACING HAS VALUE
IN CONSERVING MOISTURE
A startling discovery in the
terracing work done in 124
counties of the state under the
supervision of A & M exten*
agents last year was that the
terracing conserved the mois-
ture in addition to preventing
the washing of the soil and
greatly increased crop produc-
tion. In many cases on the flat
land in the northwestern part
of the state the gain in produc-
tion was from 25 to 35 per cent
advises M. R. Bently, farm en-
Ijineer of the extension service.
In the past terracing has been
ordered only as a means of pre-
venting the washing of the soil,
particularly in rough or rolling
country, but in the future re-
cognition must l>e given to its
usefulness in holding the mois-
ture through the crop growing
season. Particularly will this bt
of value in the regions of the
state subject to the drouth.—
Deport Times.

BEGGSWOODLBY BAPW8T CHURCH
(Theo. A. Binford, Pastor)
Prayer meeting last Wednes-
day night was the Ijest that we
have had in a long time.
Attendance was fairly good,and
the spirit deep and refreshing.
There was much revival evi-
!nce- "tiAfit It
We are glad to report an in-
creased interest and attendance
on the services of Sunday. Sun-
day school showed a healthy in-
crease over the previous Sun-
day. The morning preaching
service was also attended bet-
ter than the Sunday before.
The Sunday night crowd was
fine. Many expressions of ap-
preciation of the messages have
come. We are all getting from
the messages to the Seven
Churches of Asia. Philadelphia
and Laodicea will be discussed
next Sunday morning and even-
ing^ respectfully.
There is much preparation
for the coming revival. The
good women have been giving
great prayer meetings for sev-
eral weeks. The men are now
having daily prayer meetings in
the down town sections. Many
people are requesting prayer
for themselves and for their
friends. The signs point to a
great religious awaKening.
At a called meetng of the
Board of Deacons Monday night
it was decided to have the meet
ing on the church lawn as usu-
al. Full preparation will be
made for comfort and convenien
ce of all who attend. The dea-
cons are hearty in their cooper-
ation for plans.
The W. M. U. had its regular
business meeting and social
meeting Monday. There was a
good attendance. But there is a
notable thing about our women.
They attend the regular meet-
ings as wall as the social meet-
ings. 'lately i musfl be interested,
in the work.
All services will be held next
Sunday at the usur^ time. A
special rally day is planned for
the Sunday school. The Men's
class, meeting at the Amusu, is
planning for a big day. Every
man is wanted. Get into this
bij; class.
The Young Woman's Mission-
ary Society members received
the following Wednesday:
Put into this envelope as
many pennies as inclie8 around
you are; the tr/il the fat, the
slim the lean, not one do we
bar. Come at eight to Mrs. Mc-
Cary's residence; stay till ten—
bring your pennies in. Thurs-
day May 28, 1925.
One of the most unique so-
cials was that given at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Mc
Cary Thursday evening, honor-
ing the Y. W. S. members and
their husbands.
After the guests arrived they
entered into a spirit of merry
making. Contests and other
games furnished the fun throu-
ghout the evening and one wou-
ld easily imagine themselves at
a kid party. Refreshments of
cream and cake were served to
al>out thirty guests. Mesdames,
McCary, Louis MeKinney, Tom
Mack and M. D. McWhorter
were hostesses. A neat sum was
realized which will go to help
pay ou. pledge.—A guest.

BOY SCOUT NOTES
The Boy Scouts, troup No. 1.
of Winnsboro is now under the
supervision of the lions Club.
With their advice and aid we
are going to erect a splendid
little house at Lake FranKlin.
All the Scouts have been work-
ing hard to get the place ready
to begin building.
The scouts also have another
object in view—the summer
trip. Every boy is working,
saving and misering his money
to get in on this trip.
Lions! Who says Winnsboro
does not have a Club of real
men who are boosters from the
tail twister to tamer. If you
have anything to complain a-
bout, bring it to the Boy
Scouts—we do the Lion's fight-
ing. The Lion's Club is also be
hind the Boy Scouts. The boys
gave them a little program
Friday evening, after which
they gave us a very liberal offer
ing. For thi8 the scouts wish to
thank them and we hope we
may return the favor in the
near future.
Civic Duties—The Boy Scouts
will start right away doing
some things about the town in
a civic way, such as cleaning
the grass and weeds from the
cemetery. If you see anything
which you think the scouts
could do to help the town, re
port it to the Scout Master
and he will see that it is done

Monday, the trustees of the
Winnsboro Independent School
District awarded the contract
for the erection of the $50,000
school building, for which bonds
were recently voted, to Will
Wilson. The bonds were sold at
a nice premium and the cash

P' ns r,l Sparger and Peters,
architects of Bonham, were ac-
cepted, after consideration had
been given those of three or
lour architecs.
The Bexley lot on south main
street has been bought for tne
location of this building. It is
a desirable site and was secur-
ed at a reasonable price.
Mr. Wilson will commence ex
cavation work next Monday and
work on the building will com-
mence as soon as possible. When
completed Winnsboro will have
three large school buildings.
Now make Winnsboro a mil-
lion dollar strawberry market.
GRANDI BROS RETURNING
Many doubtless remember
the tent theatre which showed
here about a year ago, and will
be glad to know that they are
returning to stay here another
week. They commence Monday
night on the sa.Ve ground they
occupyied last year. The open-
ing play is—Love Will Find a
Way. The Grandi people will lie
glad to see their old patrons re-
turn and bring some new ones.

A Jew's Tribute to America
It was reserved for a Jew, a
rabbi from Cleveland, Ohio, to
pay the most l>eautiful tribute
to America yet penned.
The Rabbi, A. Silver, by name
said: .
",God built Him a continent
of glory and filled it with trea-
sure untold. He carpeted it with
soft, rolling prairies and pillow-
ed it with thunderng moun-
tains. He studded it with sweet
flowing fountains and traced it
with unwinding streams. He
graced it with deep shaded for-
ests and filled them with song.
Then he called unto a thous-
and peoples and summoned the
the bravest amoung them. They
came from the ends of the earth
each bearing a gift and a hope.
The glory of adventure was in
their eyes and the glory of hope
was in their souls.
And out of the memories of
ages and the hopes of the wor-
ld; out of the longing of hearts
and the prayer of souls—God
fashioned a nation you love,
blessed it with a purpose sub-
lime and called it AMERICA.
City Lady (sniffing)—What
is that awful odor?
Farmer—That's fertilizer.
City LtV'y (astonished)—For
the land's sake!
Farmer—Yes, mam.
I.ast Sunday was a great day
for us in church attendance and
interest. Our people are not
taking less interest in the
church and Sunday school just
because the summer is here.
This is as it should be, because
tin church is the most comfort
able place that you can find
this warm weather and besides
one always feels better after
he has done his duty in worship
piii^r God and service to his fel-
lows. This is the purpose of the
church and the church cannot
fill (iod's purpose with undivid
ed interest and service of its
members.

SACRED HARP SINGING
Soaps used to be advertised,
as good for the complexions.
These days they would wash
them nil off.
There will be a sacred Harp
singing at Como next Sunday,
June 7th, and all harp singers
are invited. It is the occasion of
my second anniversary as pas-
tor of the Como Baptist church
and we are to celebrate it with
a sermon in the forenoon and
singing in the afternoon.—Jas

A rich but very eccentric man
died. The clergyman who was
young and new to the paush,
thought it a fitting opportunity
to call and comfort the widow.
You must not grieve he told
her. The l>ody that lies there is
not your husband. It is merely
a husk, an empty shell—the nut
has gone to heaven.—Pickup.'ing $1,385,669.
By a great spurt in the last
quarter of 1924, Texas, second
to New York for the first nine
months of the year, overcame
the Empire State's lead, and se-
cured the distinction of being
listed as the champion of the
United States in the govern-
ment record book of exports
maintained by the Commerce
Department at Washington.
Texas' exports for the entire
year amounted to $737.21 .V.<27,
as compared with New York's
total of $731, 593,502. Pennsyl-
vania running third in the list
was well over $400,000,000 be-
hind Texas. The total exports
for the United States for the
year under review amounted to
$4,498,151)986.
Cotton shipments totaling
$565,270,762 made possible
Texas' triumph over New York,
its only serious contended in the
race for export markets. Miner-
al oil exports for the period un-
der review followed with amou-
nts of $68,817,370, and wheat
shipments came next woth val-
uation- of $45,273,167. Other
items of lesser importance were
cotton seed cake and meal ship-
ments which were valued at
$9,698,095; ores, metals, and
manufacturers of, amounting
to $5,277,756; plank l oards and
