Capt. J. P. Kiug , the L. &
C's. popular and efliciout conductor
, had a lively experience
while bringinghia morning traiu
from Chester to Laucaster last
Monday. Among his passengers
were two men, named Vernon,
who were on their way from the
Lockhart mills to the Laucaster
mills. They became quite disorderly,
aud when the conductor
and SherifF Cornwell of Chester,
who was aboard the traiu, undertook
to quiet them tlioy showed
resistance, finally getting out
and arming themselves with
rocke. Refore they could be irrested
Sheriff Cornwell had to
use his gun, shooting one of the
men in the leg, but not seriously.
They were brought on to
Richburg and there locked up to
await the afternoon train to be
carried to Chester jail. ? Review.

Mr. Editor : The hot supper
giveu by the Shiloh congregation,
at the hospitable country home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Craig, for
the purpose of raising funds towards
erectiug a fence around
the cemetery, was largelv at
tended by Lancaster and sur
roundiug communities. For the
small sum of twenty-five cents,a
plate was served with ham, turkey,
chicken and salmon salad,
stuffed eggs, pickles, cranberry
sauce ; atid bread was passed as
often as needed. This course
included as dessert, three slices
of cake, a 9aucer of gellatine and
whipped cream. Coffee was free
of charge. Oysters (stewed and
fried) \ve~e the only extras.
Never was so much heaped on a
porson'8 plate for so small a sum
of money. In truth no persons
can say they left the supper
hungry. Shiloh has won a never
dying reputation for hospitality.
About sixty dollars was
raised.
In behalf of the congregation,
thanks are extended to friends
in the towu of Lancaster aud
surrounding communities foi
their aid in donations and pat
ronage. * * *
