Brown, as pastor of St. Stephen Lutheran church has been reluctantly accepted by the officers of the church and preached his farewell sermon to a large and intensely sorrowing congregation last Lord's Day. Rev. Mr. Br^wn has been the beloved pastor of this church for the past four years and during this time he has won a warm place in the affections of his congregation for his Christian zeal in all branches of church work. Rey. Mr. Brown has entered, upon an enlarged field of Christian endeavor and usefulness at Burlington, N. C., and be and his estimable family carry with them, to their new home, the love, the confidence and the respect of the entire community. At the conclusion of the night services, Mr. Heber Barre, in behalf of the congregation, presented Mr. Brown with a beautiful Loving Cup, in a few appropriate and touching remarks which was accepted by Mr. Brown as a highly prized gift of a large congregation. For the present at least the St Stephen charge will be without a pastor as no steps have as yet been taken looking to the calling't>f one. We are informed, however, that there will be preaching there every Sunday evening by the Rev. P. D. Ri9inger. Pleasant Hill News* Mr. Henry Derrick has had a very sick child for the past week but we] are glad to know that it is improving.. Mr. Perry L.

The stock of goods of R. L. Lybrand & Co., was sold at Swansea last Monday to B. R. Cooner, of Columbia for $3,100. We are informed that Mf, Lybrand made several fair propositions to his creditors in order to protect his'debtors which were refused and before injuring those who were indebted to him he surrender his keys. We are glad, however, to state, that Mr. Lybraud will still be in charge of the store and that the business will go on as usual and the people will have his kind attention and be9t judgment as before.

Polite and Pr< b?^? ????i^????a? Teachers' Association. The next meeting of the Lexington County Teachers' Association will be Held in the school auditorium at Batesburg on March 22nd. Our information is that efforts are being made by the Batesburgers to make this meeting one of unusual interest and profit to those teachers who attend. It is probable that Dr. Evans cultured and accomplished educator of Augusta, will be present and his address will be one of the leading features of the oc casion. Besides tbin address tnere will be other attractions which will be of especial interest to those who are mak- i ing teaching a profession and have ' adopted it as their life's work, as well j as to the public at large. Hence, it is j earnestly desired by those who have the arrangements of the meeting in hand to have as many of the teachers of the county present as can possibly attend, and we are assured that nothing will be left undone which will add to the pleasure of the occasion. Dots from Styx, Tne farmers are very busy preparing for the year's crops. Small grain is looking fine, both wheat and oats. I think the recent white frosty mornings haye thinned tiie peach crop.

E. S. Shooting at Cayce. - There was two shooting scrapes in the little town of Cayce last week, both being the result of too much booze, it is said. The first shooting affair was between John Geiger and Oallie Mandy on the one side and Wade Gowerson the other, all colored, in which Gowers received the entire load of a shot gun in his body. The wound is dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. The other shooting occurred on the I rn-v. i-na*- ;n T A T.AnorfrjrH nf I tJ LJUL XiiOu? m tf uivu %j ixi ^ ? , Columbia, a weave room operator in the Palmetto mill, shot a negro whose name could not be learned. The negro is not much hurt. Self defense is claimed. The three men were arrested by Ex-Sheriff P. H. Corley and Mr. Kibler, the State Chief Constable, and lodged in the Lexington jail, Sheriff Miller being absent from home that day on another mission. Old Field School Closing. The entertainment given at the close of the Old Field School near Leesville was one of the best that has ever been given in that section of the county. The exercises began at ten o'clock in the morning and lasted the greater portion of the day. About seven hundred people were present. The people of the community gave a large picnic dinner which added greatly to the pleasure of the ocassion. The school was under the supervision of Prof. R. E. 8healy, who is one of the best teachers of this county and the entertainment was a great success. The people of this district are taking a great interest in their school and are determined to give their boys and girls a chance to prepare themselves for life. They are comtemplating making their school a greater success in the near future and we wish them God speed in their work. ? Obituary. Oscar Harvard, son of T W Long and wife departed this life Feb 28, aged 12 years and 25 days. In early life he was given to the Lord iu Holy Baptism. Nor was the grace of God bestowed in vain. His last words to his pastor were that he looked to the Lord for help. Let us be comforted I over his sad death, and may the good Lord heal his parents' sorrow in the loss of two children in so short a time. May they realize that in God's own , time these children shall be theirs ) again in the great family above where there is no more death nor sorrow, nor parting nor tears but eternal joy.

The schoosl affected are Round Hill, Midway and St. Matthews. It appears from the result of these elections that there has been a change in the educational sentiment of the county, a9 heretofore the re| suits of these special elections have invariably been in favor of the extra j levy.
