He was a brother of Mr. John Miller, near Peak, and had many friends and relatives in this community. Last Thursday the west bound passenger train on the Southern was delayed .aree hours on account of a burning trestle about eight miles below Peak. A detachment of the bridge force consisting of ten men was sent down to assist the section men in replacing the burnt structure which was about thirty feet long. In two hours and a half t.hr trains wpra passing over in pafety. Mr. Ernest Eargle is spending some time at his home near SpriDg Hill. Mr. Adam Eargle has commenced to build his store opposite the town j hall. He expects to have it com- ! pleted by the first of May and will i then open a new stock of general ; merchandise. Dr. Sease, of Little Mountain, was i in town several days last week. Miss Lizzie Yarborough, of Jenk- | insville, visited her sister, Mrs. J. H. | Bushardt, a few days last week. R=v. O B Shearouse has declined the call extended to him by the Lutheran churches of Bethel pastorate. Rev. S. C. Ballentine will hold services in Mount Hermon Lutheran chuich on Tuesday night and will leave on the following day (March 29th) for Virginia. It is with reluctance and profound sorrow that this congregation gives up its pastor who has served his people so well for the past five years. Mrs. John C Swygert is quite ill with grip at her home. The municipal election is being held today in Peak. A mayor, a ti *1.1 i i ciem ana tnree alderman will be elected. Ail tbe offices are purely honorary and consequently there is very little competition arncng the candidates. Miss Trannie Fuliner, of Saluda, and the Misses Sbealy, of this county, were in town Sunday. E. March 27, 1905. ^ Oakviils School Closed. Saturday, March 17th. was a very beautiful and pleasant day?just suitable for a school entertainment.

Tliev are orij. rid in the Carolinas than the trrand array lie ombre, prunella, new blues, greens and 1 bsr nad assembled at Oakviile school | house for the purpose cf enjoying 1 the closing exercises of this school, i which has been successfully taught I by Miss Jessie Risinger. The exercises began at about 10:30 \ o'clock with an address of welcome arid a number of speeches by the ' Tiny Totters" Following these were several of a grade higher, who rendered their declamations in a pleasing manner, showing by their -appearance that such was their great_ _ _ , rrr l ^ _ t _ _ ebi erpymenc. vve migci aieo noie here to prevent monotony and. also to m8ke the exercises more pleasant that between esch group of speeches was a dialogue. After the physical part was refreshed the audience reassembled. Mr. P. H Craps then introduced Prof 0 D. Seay. Mr. Seay said: "I: would be easier to tell what education has Dot done than what it has accomplished." He emphasized the fact that there is no one too poor to obtain an education, and as proof of this, gave some very striking examples of those who bad nothing when they began, but finally succeeded in obtaining their diplomas, and held 6ome of the most useful positions in life Indeed, most of the greatest men cur country or even the world has produced have come from poor and humble homes. Ia short, the professor s address was very forcible, practical and interesting, and all will do well to heed his advice. With this the program closed, as Rev. Wessinger, who also was to make an addrese, failed to get there. Iodeed it would be an injustice, both to teacher and pupils to mention a few speeches or dialogues and not all, therefore, we shall not emphasize any special ones. Each succeeding series of declamations exhibited more enthusiasm in students and greater judgment on the teachers part, shoeing her ability to select suitable literature for each. In short all we*e a succese, and both pupiU and instructor deserve the highest praise for the manner in which each acquitted him or herself. The exercises of the school closed about 2 p. m. The good ladies of the district and surrounding friends showed their appreciation by spreading a sumptuous dinner to which ail were invited. Still after all were satisfied there was plenty left. May all connected with this school looK DacK in years to come to this day with pleasure and enjoyment. Doubtless this day's work is only an index to the efficient work accomplished during the term. The Oakville trustees and patrons are to be congratulated on obtaining the labors of such an accomplished instructor, and to show their appreciation for her services during this term have employed her for the next session. May the next term be still more successful is the wish of A Visitor. Obituary.

Several vel uable acquisitions have been made. Coach Holland, a professional himself, has picked his team and is working them hard. The practice work itself is intensely interesting. The season proper opens next Friday at which time a great game is expected between Newberry and her rival Er&kiDe on the local diamond. Although the College team has had two games already, from the score they were apparently do more than practice games. The first game was played against Clinton with a score of 22 to 0 in favor cf Newberry. Oct last Friday the cadets from Edgefield met our boys on the diamond, and were defeated by a score of 24 to 3. Newberry has made a good start. The regular Lyceum course for the Uoilege closed with tbe .Lotus (jrlee Club entertainment; but Dr. Scherer added his famous illustrated lecture on Japan last Friday evening. Hardly a number of the course was better attended, and none was more profitable and interesting. Chapin Items.
