Adults, 42f> cents, children under 1*2, 1" cents. The following are only a few of the manv testimonials as to the lecture: Dr. Flinn of the South Carolina College says: 1 1 have heard Dr. Thornwell in the pulpit, in the church court and on the lecture platform, and in all of these he is admirable and has many of the best qualities in a .public speaker. I heard him lecture on tiis European trip and he kept mo in an intellectual glow from uoginning to end with his mingled flow of wit, fancy, pathos, humor and thought. Any audience that hears Dr. Thornwell will he impressed, cheered, stimulated, uplifted by presentations of tieauty, ma?le merry and helpod." Raleigh News and Observer: "Speaking fluently rapidly, he gave us his trials of sea sickaess, of inconvenience in railway traveling, of awk wardness in the preaence of nobility anil majesty, of Weing bored in listening to long mechanical speeches and sermons. Humor bubbled and sparkled and sunlight glinted everywhere. Lawyers and Supreme Court Justices and Ministers and old men and maidens and old ladies, deacons and elders laughed and just kept on laughing for an hour and a half." [For The Ledger. VAN YV\CK ITEMS. Farmers (ire pushing the planting of their crops. Some complain of the lands getting hard. The locul showers make things look lively, but more rain would he very acceptable. Our red lands begin to need it and seed will not come up until there is more moisture. Our merchants have already begun to ship in Western corn. With our fertile lands and the quantity of corn lands, we have always been surprised at Western corn being brought here to run our farms. Wo know with a little judgment and forethought this could all be changed. We have been farming since 1877 and have our first bushel of Western corn or baled hay to buy for our farm supply. i Rev. K K Mood went to the I>istriet preachers meeting at ! Chester last Monday. I Rev. Saddler will preach at Reuluh church next Sunday morn, ing nt 11 o'clock. i It seems that some of our people get the appointment at Van j Wvck church mixed. The regular appointments are on the Second and Third Sundays, in the morn ing at 11 o'clock and on the Fourth Sunday at II o'clock in the afternoon. Kpworth League and prayer meeting on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Sunday school one hour before each preaching service and at 10 o'clock first Sunday morning. Masters Elwyn Stephenson and Frank Heath of MVaxhaw, spent Saturday with their friends at Van Wyck. Some of Osceola's fishermen spent Monday on Catawba river and Twelve Mile Creek with the fisherman's usual luck. Van Wyok cemetery was nice ly cleaned off last Monday and this much neglected spot, put in a much more presentable shape. Some more work will soon be done on it and more interest will lie taken in it hereafter by our people.
