Westminster, Nov. 10.-Special: At a congregational meeting held in the Presbyterian church on last Sab bath the church united with Rev. J. J. Harrell in his reouest to South Carolina Presbytery ?t a call meet ing soon to be held at Seneca that his pastoral relation with thia church be dissolved. He will ask this body to dismiss him to the Presbytery of Enoree. Rev. Harrell came here from North Carolina four years ago last February, and he has been to the church and people all that is implied in the word pastor. As an exponent of God's Word his sermons were deep, spiritual and persuasive. As a shepherd of the flock he was self sacrificing, affectionate and loving, and as a man he is true, firm and decided. In his resignation and de parture, accordlug to the doctrine of the Presbyterian church, we must recognize the hand of God In it all; that it was foreordained and predes tined, and cover our regrets with good wishes for Rev. Harrell, his ex cellent wife and two lovoly daughters wherever they go. Honor Roll.

On Friday evening last the Juve nile Society of the Methodist church rendered a most excellent missionary program. A large audience was pres ent and ali were edified. Rev. J. L. Singleton, the pastor, read the 100th Psalm and offered prayer, after which the following program of exercises was carried out: Missionary dialogue, by missus Margie Williams and Ruth Loehr. "Each Has a Work to Do," by Burrlss DuRant. "All Together," by Alline Dickson. "Little by Little," by Vernon Pitts. "Little Things," by Miss Leila Sin gleton. Song No. 113.

Little Miss Ila Wilpen read out the different parts of tho prograin and helped In several. Rev. J. H. Graves, of Clemson, and the Presiding Elder, Rev. A. J. Cauthon, were present. Rev. Graves delivered an able ad dress on the "Work of Christ Among the Heathen." A collection for nils sions was taken up and a nice sum received. We are told that 4 6 men, women and children were employed by J. ft J. S. Carter as olerks, cashiers, bundle boys, etc.. during the latter part of last week. We dropped In one morning fn try and make the count but were unsuccessful. J. Julius Harbert returned to Greenville yesterday, after spending a few days at home. He Is running a livery Btable in the "Pearl of the Piedmont." The young men composing the Bi ble class of the Presbyterian Sabbath School were so pleased with their meeting held a few weeks ago at which there were debates, lectures, Bible reading mid social features, that they have decided to hold another meeting on Thanksgiving evening. This meeting will be held at the church, but will not be open for the public-only members of the class and a lady eompnnlon for each mem ber are invited. At this gathering something like 45 minutes will bo devoted to "friendly hand-shaking," and getting acquainted, after which W. P. Anderson, C. E. Gray and J M. Norris, three Sunday school work ers, will have something to say. Several ladles from Westminster attended the llower and baby show at Seneca last Tuesday and Wednes day. It ls remarkable how far away a person's name and influence will sometimes reach. A few weeks ugo Miss Sarah ll. Anderson, a bright, sweet young lady of Westminster, re ceived a letter from distant shores, and Just how her name got there re mains a mystery to this American girl. The letter was written by Lieut, .lames E. Anderson, of Snn Juan, Balamglga, Samar, Philippine Is lands, under date of August 31. It reached Manila on September 14tb and arrived here on October 21st. Lieut. Anderson was told by his guide that he was the only American by that name on the island. The letter ls well written and shows that the acquaintance was totally unknown until he came across Miss Andersos's name on the island under peculiar circumstances, and it is the suppo sition that he found her name and address carved on a tree. We ven ture to say that Lieut. Anderson could not have run across the name of an American girl more popular and better admired at her home town than "Sweet, Smiling Sarah." Two track teams have been or ganized by the High School pupils. Profs. Brockman and Cox are at their heads. They hope to have a meet on Thanksgiving day. Miss Geraldine Hughs, of Rich land, who haf. been with J. & J. S. Carter during the fall, returned home to-day. Thos. Bibb bad some ripe straw berries that were fully matured on November 1st. This is rather re markable and unusual. We do not remember having heard before of a fall crop of strawberries. Mr. Bibb also noticed blossoms and a few very small peaches on his trees a >veek or so ago. Apple and cherry trees frequently blossom in the fall, but we have never known peach trees to do anything like that. W. S. Haley, of Lavonla, was hert yesterday. . We learn that Mon. Jones, of Madi son, has bought the Methodist par sonage and will build lt a story hlghei and move here this winter. Mr Jones, we understand, will build ; five-room house In the rear of th? present parsonage, which will bo oe cupled by the preacher. The lot hai been divided and a portion sold tc Mr. Jones. Robert Grogan, a well knowi frleght conductor on the Southern lost his life in an accident at Ar mour. six miles from Atlanta, las Saturday. Both legs and one am were cut off by a box car passing ove him. Mr. Grogan lived only tw< hours. He resided at 313 Luckd street, Atlanta. It will be recallei that he and Miss Nora Patten, o Toccoa, were the principals of t runaway marriage which took plac at the Westminster Hotel three year ago, while Brewer Stark, anothe railroad man. was In readiness t ciaim Miss Patten for bis bride. On November 8, 1860, Thoma Bibb load to Hymen's altar Miss Mai tba Elizabeth McElroy.
