If you are in arrears to the
Chronicle you have received a
Statement by this time telling
yon how you stand according to
ear books and if you want to
continue reading your home
paper, you must come inand pay
gp. Many know that they owe,
hot as it is only $1 or so, that it
dooe not amount to much, but
Vb*» &00 or 600 ewe that much
the editor realizes it, and it
Bakes a great hardship on him.
§0 please come in and settle this
account at yonr earliest convent
ieace.
The community eye is focused
upon Christmas, now but a few
weeks away. The readers eye
should be focused upon the ad-
rortisements in this paper where
Christmas gifts worth having
are to be found. If the patron
age of this commuuity is worth
having it is worth seeking and
the logical medium for that seek-
ing is the advertising pages of
the borne pages. The merchant
who fails to seek should not feel
chagrined if he tails to find.
Watch the ads and the stocks of
the merchants who advertise.
The fact that they risk their
money in advertising their goods
is evidencu that those goods at e
?asy to buy and worth buying.
First Baptist Church Notes
We ihad a very good day last
Sunday.
Our Sunday school attendance
is increasing each Sunday. The
re-organized B. Y. P. U is
growing rapidly.
Lest Saturday evening the
young people met in the home of
Vfr, and Mrs. J. H. Perry and
-tnjoyed a very pleasant evening.
This feature of thoir program
they expect to emphasize through
sat the year.
Sunday evening, Nov. 2nd, at
1 o'clock, the B. Y. P. U. will
vender a program at the church.
Phis will be at the regular
.(reaching hour. Every one cor-
dially invited.
H. L. Nelson, President
B. Y. P. U.
The Parent Teachers Associa-
tion feel that they are indeed
very fortunate in securing Mrs.
Obenehain. the wonderful oid
time negro dialect reader for
last Friday evening. While the
audiance was not what we would
have liked to have had it, those
present were well pleased with
the entertainment.
Mrs. J. E. Johnston, president
of the Parent'Teacher Associa-
tion called the houae to order,
and Dr. E. W. Burnett was ask-
ed to introduce the speaker.
This he did, mentioning her as a
"true daughter of the south"
and an able reader. Her response
was very apprecitave adding to
it the pleasure it gave her to
know a P. T. A. existed in our
community, Speaking briefly of
its merits and values.
Every group of stories rend
were very commendable, moving
her audience to tears and then
to laughter. The loyalty of the
old plantation negro to hia
"Maasa andMisses,’’theirsuper
stitions, then their pathetic side
were all interesting. Her last
number of Black Mammy’s per-
suasion to a wilful small son to
"wash his foots" before retiring,
his hesitancy, followed by mam-
my’s threats and at last yeilding
whilo -he poured out the love in
her heart, saying he was the
’wossest” one in the hull bunch,
but Mammy loved him. Out in
the old rocking chair in the per-
fume of the honeysuckle, under
the soft white radiance of a big
full moon, with the chirp of the
kadydid she sang "Mammy’s
Chile” till the towseled head fell
heavy on her bosom and she her
sell yeilded u> the touch of natur
es soft nurse, sleep, waking sud-
denly to discover the chile asleep
an his foots not washed. The
time moved along all too swiftly
!for her hearers.
Our report would be incom-
plete without mention of the
music by Miss Gladys Perry,
our young talented musician of
which our town can boast "has
never seen defeat" and also the
singing of M rs. Joe Field. So
p1 eased was her hearers that one
song in a perfectly cultured
voice was not sufficient. She was
called back and very sweetly
sang Sweet Marie.
Those who were elsewhere that
night for pleasure indeed missed
a good evening.
We have buyers for town pro-
perty and farm lands. List that
property with us.
Hale & Whitmore,
Dealers In Dirt.
