Oxford Ford Items and a St Louis preacher visit
Demnea Rev H B Hemmeter of St Louis preached at St Peter's recently and six years ago he preached there regularly. We sympathize with Mr and Mrs C Ed Smith over their ill little boy reportedly with appendicitis. A reader was asked if he belonged to the Boys Corn Club and was told he had the finest upland corn around. Deep winter plowing manure and frequent shallow cultivation aided the crop. On July 16 a large turnout at Hosea Hefner's near Catawba Springs celebrated Mrs Hefner's 58th birthday about 165 guests attended. Mr Hefner of Alexander County, now in his 91st year, attended and enjoyed the day. The Democrat's contest draws much interest and prizes will go to the best workers.
