Gilbert has recently enstalled a complete telephone system and the lines are being extended out in the country on both sides of the railroad. It is the intention of those interested to continue the line from Gilbert down "Rlaot r?ropt anH anrnss to Pelion and * thence across to Swansea. The peo^ pie are very much interested in the movement. These line9 can be built at a very small cost, when the farmt ers furnish the poles and assist in placing the line. The Dutch Fork section has a system of phones and the line is at present being extended to the river by parties living on the other side. It is said that those living on this side of the river will bring the line to this t place. These lines with phone connections will make it convenient, and thev * should be built as early as possible. / * Congressman Lever and his 3ecre tary, B. J.

Chapin, Nov. 30.?The little town of | Chapin is in deep 9orrow over the death of one of its best citizens, 1 George Washington Williams, on Sunday morning. Mr. Williams was originally from Winnsboro, being born in I the year 1833. He was a painter by profession. In 1857 he married Mis9 Mary E. Miller, daughter of Col. Hugh Miller. In 1861 Mr. Williams joined Company H, Fifteenth regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, and went forth to fight in the cause of a principle that he believed was right and in the cause of his home land. He served four years through the Civil war, taking part in some of the hardest fought battles of the war. He was wounded in the leg at the battle of Antietam or Sharpsburg on September 17, 1862. After the Civil war was over he returned to his home, gathered together his broken fortune and went to work for a livelihood. v In 1875 he was employed in Shield's machine shops, Columbia. Not satisfied at this business, he dealt in beef and fresh meats the next year at Columbis. This same year, 1876, his life was grief stricken by the death of his devoted wife. He married a second time a Miss Quick. Since 1876 Mr. Williams devoted his time to his profession?painting. Mr. Williams was a friend to^everybody, and in his death Chapin, the community and the State has lost a good citizen. His remains were laid to rest at Mt. Horeb cemetery, Chapin, today at 2 o'clock.

Graham and Deputy Sheriff Miller went on a foxhunt in the sand hills, Judge Shipp having accompanied Mr. Sharpe to his home at Edmunds, on Wednesday afternoon.
