Messrs. Geo. M. Sheely and A. M. League visited Columbia last week. There will be a collection taken at Mt. yabor chnrmh on the fourth Sunday in this month for the benefit of Newberry Colelge. A musical deptrtnent has been added to the Mt. Tabor High School with Miss Lillie ;Sligh as teacher. This no doubt is the step in the right direction, and we wish it unbounded success. The school is in a flouri=hing condition. the average attendance being over one hundred. The Mt. Tabor Y. M. C. A. met be cember 31st, 1887, and elected E. 0. Counts, I. N. Feagle, W. C. Sheely, John A. Sheely, sr., and J. W. P. Har mon delegates to the district convention of the Y. M. C.A. to be held at Pros perity January 18th and 19th. An unknown party broke into Rev. J. A. Sligh's smoke-house one night last week and stole three or four hundred pounds of pork. There is no eline as yet to the guilty party. The council of Mt. Tabor church met Sabbath and reconsidered their former action in regard to the Sunday-school at said church. The Sunday-school will be held every fir.t and third Sunday at 2' o'clock p. in., and every second and fourth Sunday at 10 o'clock a. n. Tlis is a step in the right direction, and we congratulate the chm ch council on their aotion. 11. EXCELSIOR NOTES. Easter comes this year on the first Sunday in April. Mr. S. L. Sheeley seems to be all smiles this week. It's a boy., The public roads in this community are beginuing to need some repairs. Hills and hollows have been visited with some spring like weather during the past week and small grain is begin ning to boom. We judge this will be a good crop year as we notice some of our go-a-head farmers have alheady commenced break ing stubble. We are glad t o st at e that the begin ning of the new year finds the Excelsior School in a flourishing condition and several new names have been enrolled since the first of 1888. Mr. James Crosson who has been clerking for the well known firm of Messrs. J..L. Mimnaugh & Co., of Col umbia returned home last week. Reports tell us that the marriage bells will ing again to-day (Thursday). Sure enough, there is always more to follow. From what we can learn there have been a great many changes made amongst the negroes this year in differ ent communities. Some few changes have taken place in this community amongst the colored race while others will remain at same place as last year. Sabbath we had the pleasure of lis tening to an in teresting sermon preached by Rev. C. A. Marks, in Grace Lutheran Church, (Prosperity, S. C.) from the text-"Not slothful in business fervent in .spirit serving th Lord." May we each one manifest such an interest as was spoken of in the sermon and go on ini the new year each one having his lamp trimmed and burning ready to meet the bride groom when lhe comneth.
