CITIZEN. New Brookland, May 31. ' - College For Women. The graduating recital in the de4 partment of oratory at the College for Women, Columbia, on Thursday evening was attended by a very large and appreciative audience, many attending from here to witness the recital of Miss Lucile Efird. There were three graduates in this departmentMisses Lucile Efird, Mabel Hornick and Jesse Wallace. The Columbia State of last Friday, says: ^Miss Efird's rendition of "John Storm'8 Resolution" was an admirable piece of work. The selection is highly classical and requires consid/ erable skill in'the handling of it. Miss Efird acquitted herself well and deserves great credit for the success she has attained." 4 ICrs. Sato L. Soatwright. Seldom does it fall to oar lot to record so sad a death as that of Mrs. Kate L. Boatwright, which occurred in Columbia Thursday, where she had j gone for the purpose of having an op- k I eration performed; but upon her arrival her condition was such that it was deemed best not to make the attempt. Only about six months ago her hus- I band, Mr. R. W. Boatwright, died; J and a little later, about two months I ago, her aunt, Miss Margaret M. Low- I man, a member of the same house- i hold, passed into the * 'great beyond," leaving her alone with three little children. Now the situation is rendered more pathetic by the death of the mother. Three small children, the youngest an infant of only a few weeks, are left to make lifes struggles all alone. Mrs. Boatwright, besides her children, is survived fey two brothers and two sisters: Messrs. Henry D., and D. M. Lowman; Mrs. Geo. M. Adams and Mrs. Paul Shealy. Her remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground, near Baxter, her late home, on Friday afternoon, the last sad rites being performed by her pastor, Rev. D. B. Groseclose, of Leesville. May the God of mercy in the plentitude of His gracioutness, look down 1 with, fatherly, loye upon these- dear J little ones, and lead them in the paths I of righteousness! % ] -Transfers of Bo&l Estate.

Kiss Alary Viola Lovrman. j The following from The Lutheran Visitor will be read with" keen interest by the many friends of Miss Low- 1 man; besides, it shows that the young < ladies from Lexington county always 1 take a high stand in whatever course they pursue: < "Miss Mary Viola Lowman, of Sel- 1 wood, S. C., graduated from the >( school of expression, Lenoir College, Hickory, N. C., and on Friday, May i 10, she gave her graduating recital in the large auditorium before an intel- 1 ligent and appreciative audience. < Since at the college Miss Lowman has ^ made for herself a most excellent < reputation as a reader. She has fine natural talent and memorizes per- . fectly and is entirely easy and grace- ' ful before an audience." Capt. Guigaard ia tie Navy, i It is indeed gratifying to note the ] very high stand that the young men i fnpm Lexington always take, no mat- 1 ter in what positions they occupy. < "Ranpniallar is it so in the case of Cant, i Guignard, who is a son of the Capt. John Guignard and a brother, of G. , A. Guignard, of this county. The Columbia State has the following to say anent Capt. Guignard: ' "Capt. William S. Guignard, A. B.. '91, from Lexington county, comSleted the course at West Point 1 1896 and entered the artillery, which is the finest branch of the service. In 1901 he was promoted to a captancy. For the past two years Capt. Guignard has been military attache to the American embassy at Paris. He has been sent on several 1 important missions, one of them being the escorting of the American \ representative to Morocco to that i country." , Xr. Jacob L. Boof Scad. 1 Mr. Jacob L. Roof, one of the best * known and highly esteemed citizens j of Lexington county residing near { New Brookland, died after a short illness of malarial fever Friday night. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at Emanuel Lutheran 1 church in the presence of one of the' ? largest congregations ever assembled in that section to pay their respects , to a departed friend. The last sad * rites were performed by the Rev. E. . L. Lybrana, of Brookland.

In a beautiful and at times exciting game of ball Saturday afternoon the locals won from Batesburg by a score of 6 to 3. This was the first of a series of games and the Lexington boys ^ are justly proud of their victory. The Lexington team will probably go down to Batesburg the latter part of a this week, at which time they hope g to add new laurels to their crown. The batteries in Saturday's game ^ were: For Batesburg, ( >pe Jones ^ and Lee Raborn; for Lexington, Henry Barrett and Lem Sox. t] Engineer Gibson Killed. * Mr. Elisha Gibson, of Columbia, an s< engineer of the Southern railway, ti died from the injuries he received in ei a wrt-ek near Savannah last week. c< He haa been in the service of the A Southern since 1887, and was on the p run between Columbia and Augusta c! for many years.
