While his residence was in Chester County, he had considerable estate in Fairfield * and was, therefore, identified to a great extent with the people of Fairfield. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church at Blackstock, and took an active part in the work of the church. Mr. Douglass was ;a brother; of Riv.

CHURCH IN COLUMBIA. Until Monday night there had never been an A. R. P. Church in 0'ir capital city. Oar A. R. P. Readers will bo glad to know that there is one there now. Rev. G. K. White, of Griffith, N. 0., superintendent of mission? of the First Presbytery, went down Monday noon, and was joined here by Messrs. Jas. a. Brice and T. H. Ketchin, elders in the A. R. P. Chnrch at this place, who had been appointed by Presbytery to take part in the organization. These gentlemen, together with Rev. J. G. Dale, the missionary in charge, were to organize the church Monday night. Mr. Daie, who is so pleasantly remembered by many of our readers whv heard him at the A. R. P. Church last November, has been laboring in Columbia since last August, and has oeen successful in his efforts, as the above shows. The congregation has been worshiping in an excellent hall on Main s-reef, bat thsy expect to have a building of their own before a great while. Not a few who read what Mr. Robert Rowls, of Hollands, Va., ha3 to say below, will remember cheir own experience under like circumstances: "Last winter I had la grippe which left me in a low state of health. I tried numerous remedies, none of which did me any good, until I was induced tc try a bottle of :hamberlain's Cough Remedy. The first bottle of it so far relieved me that I was enabled to atteud to my work, and the second bottle effected a cure."

The enrolled members embraced the names of several hundred of our most active and energetic farmers. The business men of Winnsbc.ro likewise gave their support to the s ;Cie.y. Under it3 auspices a number of prominent agricultural scientists and practical farmers delivered addresses which were interesting and instructive. The magnificent display of the resources of Fairfield as exhibited at our annual institute in the past was the result of tha organization of this society. It has been a Fource of great regret to its originators that the society v>ai7o hppr. ailnwpd to become I OUUUiU uv?i v vvw. _ - __ [defunct. The disorganization and j | discontinuance of the annnal institutes j are chiefly due to the very stringent j times for the last few years. Some o7 the promoters are still convinced tbat such an organization can be successfully operated and produce good results. It i~ possible that (be society attemp'ed to ou'resch itself and had institutes loo extensive, and therefore too expensive. The gentlemen who are now con^tfeiing the advisability of reTivin? and reorganizing this society think tbat by having institutes j on a modest ajd less elaborate scale, j they can succeed. We hope that they wii! meet with the encouragement and j success tbat they deserve. If strength is what you want, you should study what causes your weakness. It is practically lack of food. But you eat three meals a d^y, and all you cau eat at a time. Yes, but ao you digest it? Food undigested, is not food. It is not nourishment. It doesn't create strength. To digest your food take Shaker Digestive Cordial at meals. After a while you will digest you - food without it. Then you will 5et well, and strong and healthy. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion and all its symptoms, snch as nausea, headache, eructations, pain in stomach, giddiness, loss of appetite, etc. It makes yonr food nourish you, and make you strong and fat "and hearty.

It is situated way down in the pine?, "Where you a'l have visited it many times. The school consists of only ore room, And once a d^v i? swent with a broom. The cracks in tLe old room let in the Tew, And a"e large enough to throw a cat through. The charts and the globes are too lovely to mention, And this is what draws the childieu's attention. Tne benches are long and not so wide, And to hold them np they have to be tied. The doors are witnout latches or locks, But on the mantle stands a little clock. A description oi the scholars I'll endeavor to make, Though conscious of the fact it's quite a task to take. However great tLe task may be, ii will not me deter, I've taken the j ;b and am goingjahead regardless of fear. First on the list c mics Miss Grace James; It matters not when you see her she is always the same. She has brown eyes and long auburn curls, A 11^ eVio is rrV>?f i?r?n i-*i!l vfiftl Vir'tfttf girl. At school she has al\va\s attended And reciies her lesions s:mp!y splendid ; She is fall of uudefiled emotions, And has the sincerest devotions. Now we will take Mi*s Geneva Fee, VVhD is thought a great deal of by ine. A sheerer girl cannot be foiu.d If you hunted all over this little town. It is always the children's greate-t delight When Miss Gene\a g^e- to the lass to recite. Her hair is long and ntr eyes dark ffray, She always seems to be cheerful and g*y. Tom Wilk?, who is the el'dont of all tin- boys, Addra a great deal (o :be yourg folks' j>ysHi? hair is black and compexion dark, And he is just as handsome as a lark. Ncx? <>11 the row comes his brother B.jb White, Every day he studies with ail his j migii\ This young man alwaj s iries his best To do the things his teashcr suggests. lie makes the lires and ihey can'i be beat, And when he finishes they are a treat. This boy says he is going to be A man of a good memory. At last we have come to Li.vson Fee, Who is handsome as hmdsome ae handsome can be. He is; a nice little gentleman, And studies as hard as he possibly can. fCn-M lot trip infrn/1nrr? Walter Moree to you, And boys like him are very few. He ir, not very fond of g0iu?-L0..?cicoJ_ Unless he ct?n ride an old red mule. This boy is very quick to learn; Heisge'tnle at:d loving and not a bit stern. He i<? what you call a very fine lid, Ana never was known to be mad. Now listen I we have comc to Walter Yongue, Who real jolly and full of fan. Hs is a boy who deserves much credit, And some day will make his merit. When this boy studies he studies with his miorht. And everything he does is always done right-. When he goes to the class he is never in doubt, Every word of his lesson then comes out. Y'jji hive heard o? Frank Fee and his brother Joe, Who rt?e very much alike you know. To t( li ihem apart it is hard to do, Unless they are well acquainted with you. Mi-s Florie Wilks is our next young friend, Who at school never fails to attend. r?._ . ~ 1 out: ceriiuim is ti unc muc ia-.o, And .is alway first in hercla?s. She doe3 exactly as yon say, And when recess comes is ready for plav She Las tender eyes and a lovely face And moves around full of grace. New *e have come to Trig and Jim West, And it is impossible to tell who is the best. They seem to think a great deal of each other, And each is thought best by his own mother. Parents should be proud of boys like these, WhoJ never get mad and can't be teased. Their lessons they always know very well, AnH TT7hn ic fVio smartest is hard to tell. I Mis* Mary Fee, who is seven yeai'S old, Is not a bit bashful and not a bit bold. Iler eyes are brown and her lace how bright, Her little che^k* s ? red and so while. Her ski s -iark and her golden hair Hing$ on her shoulders so soft and fair. She is a littJe girl who never sets sad, And seems to be happy and glad. At last but not least comes the smallest girls, One with long hair and the other with short curls. The-e two little maidens are ever so dear, And to each oiher are very sincere. Iu school you will find them in their place?, Ve.v quiet but with smiles on their faces. Of all ?irls these are the bright si and best, And if von *ee them once you are favorably imp -essed. Mary and Cornelia Yongue are their name?, It matters dot when >oil see them ihey are the same. Tbev always carry a very light heart, Ar.d in their books are ever so "-mart. Now comes the teacher: what about Libi . Iler name is Miss Allie KerrShe is a lady cf an upright mind, A heart most loving and a disposition kind. She interests the childieu by telling them stories; She is as bi ight as a moi niug gl^rv. With the lessons she takes the greatest care, And at school rever fails to appear. When Miss Allie goes home ever so far, What will we do without our morning star? I In several weeks she leaves for borne, Then we wil! all be left alone. Misses Aliie :'n?l (it ace are thick as can be, Because they are so in h alike you see. They i> tr. aic bies-ed vi a a graceful air, And when you see one the other is luurti. For 'car your pacicnce is thoroughly worn out, And now jour Hps will b>gm to pout, We will say one word more to you, And this is it: Adieu, friends, adieu.

The Farmers Own Their Own Land, and are Doing Everything to Improve the Community?An Enviable Record. Some Sickness. We regret that you los', Mr. W. J i Elliott, bai congratulate you upon se- | curing tbe services of Mr. William? and Mis* D wight. Our farmers closed up the business of t'lii old year in inuch better sbape than they commenced, notwithstanding tbe extreme hot and dry weather of la-t summer. We m:uie a pretty fair crop. Provisions were cheap, and we realized a higher price for oar cotton than we expected. The majority of the farmers have gone to work in earnest a::d it seems from their action that they are determined to do even better than usual We have ornar? labor, and the farmers and , laborers have each other's interest in view, and so work. I attribute the success of our people in this neighborhood to the fact that nearly all the land is owned b7 the parties who reside on it, and, of course, they take an interest in the advancement of the community that, they would not otherwise. We congratulate ourselves that only one small tract of land was sold this winter, and that to settle an estate, and was purchased by oue of our most energetic and successful farmers, Mr. J. L. Robinson. I refer to the Hobbs place. The Greenbrier school is in a flourishing condition. Mr. J. C.Green, a graduate of the Citadel, from Orangeburg, is in charge ot the school ana is doing an excellent work. He is m high favor with both patrons and pupils. The first quarterly conference for the Winnsboro station was neia at Greenbriar on Saturday and Sunday, the 23rd and 24th inst. Rev. J. Walter Dickson, the Presiding Elder, was present and preached two very fine sermons. The financial report was very good. There has been, and is a great deai of sickness iu the community, but by the skillfal services of Drs. Hanahan and Buchanan, only a few cases have proven fatal. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Jeffers and their family, "who los-t two of their daughters the same da>, have th-* sympathy of the entire community. Dr. Arledge is about well again. Miv. Rice, of Bamburg, is quite sick at Mrs. E. C. Nelson's. Mrs. Lyles, who has been quite sick at Mrs. Elkins', is better. Mrs. Isa Ruff and her daug'.iie-, Mrs. Rutland, are able to be up. We are sorrs' to report that o .r veteran friend, Mr. B. H. Robertson, of the Mossy Dale community} is still critically ill. January 26 th, 1897. WANTED AT ONCE:-A c t i v e agent3 for each county.
