Lyon, who has beer, visiting her mother and other kindred in Beilevue, came to Abbeville Saturday to spend a few days with Mrs. W. W. Bradley. Saturday night she wished to talk with the Marshal, who, she says, tells her that when she is away he goes to Otd with the chickens. Not being able to locate him at home as late as ten o'clock and learning that Col. Ren-i wick Bradley was in Greenville, she \ decided that Charley was with the Colonel. So she telephoned the home of Col. Bradley and finding that he put up at the Jackson Hotel, she called lor mm tnere, duc iouna that neither he nor Charley were there. We presume Col. Renwick must have been spending the night with Charley and that they retired early and the phone failed to awake them when Mrs. Lyon called. REV. E. D. KERR - Elected to Profetsoship in Columbia Theological Seminary. Rev. E. D. Kerr, who is so well known in Abbeville, and who married an Abbeville girl, Miss Helen White, has been elected as Professor of Christian Ethics and Apologetics in Columbia Theological Seminary. The State in making the announcement has the following to say of Mr. Kerr: "The seminary is to be congratulated upon securing for this work one of its most gifted young alumni, the Rev. Edgar D. Kerr, A. M., B. D., now pastor at Newberry. He has a distinguished record at Davidson college and at the Columbia seminary and also as special student for sometime at Princeton Theological seminary. He has the warm indorsement of all the faculty, has proven a great success in the ministry, and comes to this chair with every prospect of distinguished success in conducting this field." KERR'S KOMPLAINT. Col. J. D. Kerr complains against us and alleges that we are not using his name in print often enough in connection with White Mountain Refrigerators, Hoosier Cabinets, Boss Stoves, etc. The Colonel is hard to please. He has been advertising in this paper about two months. In that time we have sold him out of kitchen cabinets, refrigerators and boss stoves three times, and have so increased his furniture business that he has been compelled to buy a motor truck to deliver the furniture we are selling for him. He has been so busy that the city has been compelled to allow three gasoline reservoirs to be buried under the streets of the city so that he might obtain gasoline for his t truck without waiting. If there is anything else that he wants at our hands we will hand him the paper. MASQUERADE PARTY.
