Zion will ceriainly never cease to | regreltheir absence, for although quite a number of entertainments of various kinds have been given for the amusement, delight and instruction of the people of the town under the auspices of this institution in the past, Jew of them have ever equaled and none surpassed the one of last night. Some of the scholar gave a 1-ighly J interesting and enteriatmug (XMDition of physical culture. The class in this department is under the control of Miss Charloite Ailston. There were also some fine music, both instrumental and vocal. The reading was very m^cb appreciated by the audiencc. We regret very much that we have not been able to give a fuller account. We will do so in our next issue. SC2IE FATORY FACTS. The contractor's work at the factory was finished on Saturday, and the keys turned over to the Cotton Mills Company. This work includes the building. -The work has been formally inspected, accepted, and paid for. Tnis is a very handsome building, and one that the company are justly proud of. Mr. Beaty has been ordered to continue the erection of cottages. Ten - - i i - i . . jj of these nave oeen completed, ana win make comfortable homes for the operatives. As we bave said before this, the engine has been put in place, the cistern completed, and the piping about completed. The machinery for the mill, that is looms, &c., has all been ordered, and it is expected to arrive in a short time, and put in pDsition for operation, exactly wnen me mm win be ready fur regular work is not known. Buiidiog a cotton factory is no small job, and there are so many things to be done that no one can definitely tell when it will be thoroughly completed, and rea<ly for wo: k. Mr. Eealv, the secretary and treasurer, reports that there are no croakers among the stockholders, and that they all are well pleased with the buildiDg and the unusually suitable location. A SAD DEATH. The maDy friends of Mr. Charlie P. McLeod will be grieved to learn of bis death, which occurred at his home in Sumter County on Monday evening', loih nit. Mr. McLeod was a nephew of Mr. James Cason, of this countv, and had from the lime of Ms birth been a resident of Sumter County, though he had been <1 frequent visitor to this count}* tor tie last two years, which resnlted in qu.te a number of warm friends, "for to j know him was to love bim." He was j just 24 years old ami was a bright and noble young man of stc !i g character. He bad been sick five w etks to the j very day of his ;death, but only con- j fioed to his room four weeks. It is I sad to part with friends and loved ones when they have reached their "three score year and ten," but to see j one so young and useful?just in the bloom of manhood?taken from us is | sadder still. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved familv, especially bis aged mother, and may they re- j member that their loss is his eternal gain. "One by one earth's ties are broken, As we see oar love decay." A friend. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. OBITUARY. Fell asleep in Jesus on February 20, 1897, at her home in East "Wateree section of this county, Mrs. Margret McCully Smith, wife of Mr. Wm. A. Smith. Iler deaih was not unexpected; she had been a patient sufferer for several months. The greater part of her long life (seventy-one years) was lived in close communion with her God. To know Her was to love her, and no one could but feel tnat lie or j she had been made the better by her companionship. She was a most devoted wife, a loving and prayerful mother, ever prayiDg for ihe salvation of her children, and a sincere, helpful and sympathizing neighbor. She hath but gone to her reward that awaiteth in glory; surely hers will be a crown with many stars. How consoling! to know that she is really, but "Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep." She leaves an aged husband, four sons and four daughters to whom we extend our heartfelt sympathy. May the dear Lord comfort, and show them the great beauty and richness of the life that has ended here, that they like her may continue faithful unto the end, and all be reunited in that beautiful and glorious 'eternity where parting is known no more. Sorrowing Friecd. CHICAGO TO THE FRONT. Boyce's Bi?: Weeklies, the Saturday Blade and Ch ago Ledger, have been beard from again.
