INSTALLATION OF REV. A G. KIIIKPATRICK.
Tri- Weekly JS'etcs and Herald, Jan. 22.
Rev. 0. E. McDonald goes out to the
Brick Church to-day, where he .ind
Rev. J. A Smith, of White Oak, will
ins!all Ecv. A. G. Kirkpatrick as pastor.
Mr. McDonald will preside,
preach the sermon, propound the questions
and add; e.-s the pastor, and Mr.
Smith the people. This is one of the
old historic churchcs of lie county.
The Associate Reformed Synod of the
South was organized at this church
May 9, lgfc.. At i;s organization it
was composed of seven minister?, all
of whom labored in the two Carolina?
and Georgia. It now h?s ninety-nine
ministers, and over ten thousand
members, scattered over thirteen States
of the South.
For many ye&rs in the early part of
the century the Brick Church, then
called Ebenezer, was a large and flourishing
congregation, but removals: to
the West before the war and the rav|
ages of the war so weakened the conj
gregation that ii became almost extinct.
A lew \ears ago, thr.ngh the eflorts
of Mr. Kirkpa'r.ck, aid the congregation
of New Ik?r,e, of whizh he was
pastor, the old church was reorganized,
and they now have a flourishing little
congregation of forty-two members.
This will be a high day to tbem, &nd
The News and Herald extends congratulations
on the happy union.
Mr. Ivirkpatrick will preach half the
time at the Brick Church ar.d half at
Prosperity, in Newberry County.
?As vra3 stated in our issue of
Sa .rday, Rev. Messrs. McDonald and
Smith installed Rev. A. G. Ivirkpatrick
over ibe Brick Church on
Saturday. There was so much sickness
in the community thut Ihe ?tud;euce
was smaller f,han it would
otherwise have been, but the interesting
services were enjoyed by all
present. Mr. Iiirkpatrick had just
got;eu up from an attack of the grippe
and was very weak, but is improving.
He enlers on bis work wiih evfry
prospect of micc*'S-'. Mr. McDonald
returned !o town Saturday evening.

THE COUNTY TRli SLRKR'S REPORT.
To the Editor of The JXeics and Herald:
I notice that rx Governor Evans has
vetoed the bill of the last General (
Assembly as to the publication of the 1
County Treasurer's reports. I have :
heard that a special Act wa* passed, 1
hv which the Treasurer for Fail field ,
is not required to publish hi? report. ;
Will ycu please yiro the public the '
exact nan s of this matter. While 1
ever)body has the utmost confidence
In our j resent County Treasurer, it j
set ms to tne that if other counties find i
it advisable to lmve iKe reports pub- :
li.-} cd, Fai field should do likewise.
The people have a right ;o know ex- ]
ac'.l> how the pub'ic funds are dis- i
buried. L strikes me that the receipts 1
as will as disbursements should be ]
published. I have no idea the money j
i:Oi.s wro: g, but it is the taxpayers' :
money and we want to know how it '
is spent. Tax pa} e:\ ;
j
KEFERREO TO OUR DELEGATION <
Taxpayer No 3 Thia'-s that Taxpayer No j
1 Is right, an<l -wants the County <
Treasurer's Report PabKshed. ]
Mr. Editor: A copy of your trl- 1
weekly of January 23rd h.-iviug fallen
into my ban;is I notice "Taxpayer's"
suggestion about the publication of
the County Treasurer's report and
most heartily a^ree with him that it
should be done. I bad missed the
last report but did not know that
Fairfield had been excepted from the
law requiring the report to be published
and think it a mistake. It is !
true it costs something to publish these <
reports but it is a wise policy to sive '
the expenditure of the public funds
as much publicity as possible. Taxes !
have oeen materially increased re- ;
co:111 y and unless the taxpayers are !
informed how the money is spent
- * - - -"- -J mi. ?
tnov will not DC sausuen. me puuu- i
caiioii of the report would inform us ] '
how much the courts co^t, how much
it co.?t us to maintain the. chain-gang?
the expense of ru -ning the Poor
House and public oJLces. I understand
the county funds are divided
under separate heads and the publication
of the Trer-urer's report would
fnrnish those interested an opportunity
ot looking into the matter. The
records, of course, are open to inspection
but nobody wants lo go in
the court hou^e for the purpose of inspecting
the records and thereby making
themselves liable to the suspicion
of '"-looking for something wro'ig." I
believe we have an honest and efficient
set. of pubic- ofticeis and there
is no intention to reflect on them in
any way?but ttie public should have
so.ne aveoue of information other
than the unpleasant one of "going
through ihe records."
Again, the distr.btUion and disbursement
of the school funds are
mat its ol mm h coLscqueme and interest
to ns alt, and unless we have a
published report h >w can we understand
hosv these are being made. I
trust our representatives will consider
this matter and hive the hw amended
so that Fairfield taxpayer* will have
tb sains facilities for studying theexi-i/iMco

PROFESSOR KENNEDY DEAD.
We announced 5n a recent issue
that Mrs. Jamej A. Brice had been
summoned, by telfgia-n, to Dae
West, on account of the terions illness
oc her father, Professor J. P.
Kennedy. By the Columbia Register
we learn that Professor Kennedy died
, at one o'clock on Thursday. A fcreat
many old students of Due West Female
College and his friends in this
county -tcIII be pained to hear of the
pas iig away of this kind hearted,
genial, cheerful, and good map. He
was a useful citizen, net onlv in Ab
beville county, but in the State. We
take!he following short sketch from
the Columbia Register:
P^of. Kennedy wa? 73 years old.
After graduation at Erskin-"-, he devoted
himself to teaching-. He taught
in his Almi Matter, in the Due West
Female College of which he became
president. During his incumbency,
the college prospered as it had never
done before. He finally had to give
up the work, owing to ill health, aud
for six or eight years he has retired
from active business. During his life
time he acquired a fine competency of
this world's goods by his industry and
economy. Besides his wife, who is a
sister of Prof. Patfon of Columbia,
he leave? three children living, Mrs.
Jas. A. Brice, of Win-r.boro; A Selden
Ker.ncdf of Due West and Dr. J.
Payson Kennedy of Atlanta. His
funeral will be held Friday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church, of which he
was a lifelong member and one of the
most prominent workers iu its interest
in the whole church.

ushered from the presence of Day, on
Wednesday, January 20, 1S97, for
when they again measured their silent
tread two lives that heretofore had
been apart would be drifted into one.
As the twilight hour appioached a
host of Jriends were gathered in ihe
parlor of Mr. R. II. Ford to witness
the marriage of Miss Daisy Ford to
Mr. John O. Jackson. The impressive
r 1 l?. T)
ceremony was periormuu uy
R. A. Yongue. The bride was beautifully
a;tired and tnadfi a lovely picture
of yomh and beauty as she plighted
her heart and hand to the handsome
?room at her side. The attendants
were Misses Florence aud Julia Nichols
and Messrs. A. N. Iveistier and flarvey
Ford.
Af;er congratulations and we!l wishes
were showered upon them the party
repaired to the borne of the groom
where a grand reception awaited them.
My pen staggers from being unable to
describe the table which was so artistically
arranged by Mrs J Johnston
and Mi-S34 Ethel Jackson and Sue
Gladden. It was not only "a thing of
beauty but a joy forever," could
there palatable viands lasted always.
Still the multitude wss satisfied, and
several basketfuls remained. After
supper several nours ox social enjoyment
"was spent.
Now a wish for the couple who have
jU't launched their barque upon the
matrimonial s^a?for what greater
ihing i-? there for two human souls
ihan to feel that they are ''joined for
life?to strengthen each othci in all
labor, to rest ~on each other in all sorrow,
to minister each other in ali paiu,
[o be ore with each other in silent,
unspeakable memories at the moment
Df the last parting." While we wish
for them that the'Angel of Gladness
may ever hover o'er them, yet we
know that in this transitory life the
Angel of Sorrow, with his da'rk wings,
will ftuvJy come, and may they be
ib'.e to ?ay: "Come thou too, when
Dar Father wilieth; come thou when
need is; with saddened brow and
nitvirior prp r.nmp and take us on thv
sving-s and bear us to hope, to happiness,
(o heaven; to that Presence
where is fulne?s of joy, to that Eight
Band where there are pleasures fo>
jvermore." "Luciie."

Mrs. Amanda Gladden, wife of Mr.
T. L.. Gladden, died on the night of 1 be
17'.h insf, after & short illness of grlpi e.
She was buried on the 19th at ihe
Rawls burying-ground. Re7. IL Iv.

from Hebrew?, 9:27: -'And iritis

The f. 1' w.:.g ave some of the leading
thoughts oi the discourse: Death
.list be met w>on<*r or later. S'n is
ihe cause of de-lb both spiiimally and
bodily. God in wisdom and mercy
appointed death. If it were not for
death we would have io lire the life
of sin forever; but God permits us to
live ti e life of sin for only a f w
days. We are in a state of prob.it'o:*.
God has provided the means of salvation.
When He calls all must answer.
It is appointed unto wan once to d e.

in which to prepare :or ueaiti; ?. I at
caiinor be done bat once, we >U nld

A happ> aspect a-j to t:ie subject of
dculi is that we die but one, and !o
tho.-e that are prepared it often c ines
as a sweet relief.

Mrs. Gladden was one among the
oldest members of Mt. Zion Bapiist
Church. I have attended ago d many
funeral, but never where there were
more profound re?pect and solemnity.
Our sympathy ^oes out to the bereaved
Lmily, mid especially to the
aged husband. Separation by death
is always sa-o, but especially so ailer

mossy dale news.
We are now experiencing some cold
wealher as an introductory to the year
1S97, and -or the j.a-t few days were
visited with -otne rain.
There las been very little farm work
done as yet, but everything is pretty
well oiganized to begin when the
wealher permits.
Tnere has been quite a number of
,iew tenant houses built throughout
this section I am g!ad the peop'e are
seeing.tlie necessity of building comfortable
homes for their tenants,
which will be more conducive to (heir
health.
There has been quite a number of
cases of grippe in this secion; scarcely
a family exempt. S^me of the cases
have been very severe. q
Maj. B. II. Robeitson and wife are
both down with grippe at this time.
They have been quite f-ick, but show
some improvement which I hope will
lie permanent.
Mrs. U. C. Trapp has been confined
to her bed for a mouth from grippe
complicated with facial neuralgia,
which caused partial paraijsis of the
licial neiv^s on one side of the face.
She is showing marked improvement
and I hope will soon be able to up
and about again. Her sister, Mrs.
Smith, of Columbia, carnc up to visit
her.
Mr. Howell Trapp and family have
jalso been sick; also the family of Mr.
J. W. Robinson. All are new convalescent.
Mr. T. F. Smith has been confined to
his house for the past week.
Messrs. T. C. Camak and T. F.
Curlee have gone to Columbia to attend
the session of the Legislature,
ana to maKe puiuutisus.
The Mossy Dale school will soon
close. The session will be short in
consequcnce of apoition of the funds
being appropriated to the building of a
very nice and comfortable school bouse
I notice through ths press that there
has been a call made by Gen. Walker,
commanding the United Confederate
Veterans, to organize tbeir camps into
regiments in each county where three
camps are organized. While we have
only two in this county, can we not
sub-divide so as to get the third and
still keep up a good roll in cacb?
Comrades, let nut Fairfield be behind
other counties in the State. I know
here is too much loyalty in our camps
to be defaulters in tbis cas>. I hope
cur commandants vull make some
elf >rt in this direction. Let us organize
and get up our banners ar.d badges
and not be as some of ou?' camps were
in Richmond kst summer anu on Confederate
Day at the Fnir last Novem
ber. Whatever we try let us do wen
and make it not only an organizitiou
ol honor, onta ;>Jeasur* (o oar remaining
lew. We have also, by resolution
at an annual renin n at Richmond,
been requested to change the name of
our order, which I think will ba more
appropriate. t. b. m'k.
