Three of Rock Hill's most popular young . ladies have recently returned home from visiting friends abroad: Miss Nettie Watson, from Rome, Ga.; Miss Annie Lyle Roddey,1 from Fayetteville, N. C.; and Miss Daisy Ruff, from Winnsboro, S. C. We are glad to be able to report that some of those in our midst who have recently been quite sick, are now much better. Both Dr. Cornwell, who has been confined to his bed for several weeks, and Mr. Waring, who was once convalescent but had a relapse some time ago, are reported to be getting along very nicely. The youngest child of Rev. J. C. McMullen, which was very sick last week, seems bo be improving, but two of his other children are now quite sick with a similar complaint, which seems to be an aggrated form of our dreaded winter visitor, la grippe. The friends oi Mr. jonn s. aioore, iormerly of Yorkville, were glad to see him as he stopped over in Rock Hill for a few hours last Monday. Mr. Moor? has traveled a good deal since he was located here several years ago, and now is in business in Pennsylvania; so we appreciate a remark he made the other day to the effect that he would rather live in Rock Hill than in any other town he knew of. Rev. E. O. Watson, who has endeared himself to his people during the two years of his pastorate here, preached his farewell sermon in the Methodist church at this place oh Sunday morning. His theme was Faith, and the large congregation gathered to hear the sermon heard one of the ablest out of the many able discourses which this gifted young divine has preached during his stay in Rock Hill. The good wishes of the entire commu* nity accompany Mr. Watson in entering upon his new field of labor at Bennettsville, 8-C- . , BLACKSBURG BUDGET. The Greenville Convocation?Dr. Porter's School?Other Matters. Corespondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Blacksburg, December 6.?Your correspondent made a brief visit to Spartanburg last week, for the purpose of attending the meeting of the Greenville convocation of the Episcopal church. The board of missions of the diocese also convened there on Wednesday, and, after the business session, some stirring addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Porter, of Charleston, and Dr. Ellison Capers, and Rev. E. N. Joyner, of Columbia. a aHon/lonno of. ul 1 of tllP ? ucro was a avwuuouvw ? v. meetings, much effective work done, and an earnest, zealous spirit aroused that bodes well for the advancement of the church in upper South Carolina. The meetings were held in the Church of the Advent, Rev. Theo Bratton, rector. The convocation adjourned on Friday, and will hold the next meeting at Rock Hill en tbe 8th of February next. As an item of information, I will say that Dr. Porter, at the special request of the convocation, presented the claims of his school, the Porter Academy, at Charleston, to the support and patronage of the people of South Carolina. During the last twenty-five years, Dr. Porter has educated, chiefly through help that he has obtained from England and the North, over two thousand boyB, and the most of them are now occupying positions of trust and usefulness all over the United States and South America. His school is of a high standard and firstclass in every respect, and prepares a boy for any of the avocations of life, and now, during the declining years of his life, he is anxious to secure an endowment fund of $300,000 for the school, so that his son may * continue the good work after he is gone.

He has already secured about fifteen thousand dollars from former pupils, and for any of our i citizens of limited means who have boys to educate, it will prove a good investment to | take some of Dr. Porter's fifty dollar bonds, 1 payable in ten years, at 6 per cent; interest. i During my brief stay in Spartanburg, I was struck with the rapid strides the town has made in material progress during the ' past year. The large and elegant new court house, the transformation of the old and clumsy temple of.justice into a handsome and attractive business block by Major D. R. Duncan and brothers, the many new and elegant private residences, the beautiful dis- ' plays of merchandise of every kind, the busy 1 crowds that throng the streets, all point to the fact that Spartanburg's wealthy men haye acted wisely in investing their money within her incorporate limits in manufacturing enterprises, which not only benefit 1 themselves, but all of their fellow citizens. 1 Indeed Spartanburg has set an example that -11 1 ? * w;u bit ucr bl&vc r iu vy us iu ovum vol viium n do well to follow. Major John F. Jones, after a visit of nearly a week to his family and friends, returned to New York Sunday afternoon. That intolerable nuisance, the "merry go 'round." has, afcr imposing itself upon our citizens for over a week, leaves today, much to the relief our orderly and peace-loving citizens. Several persons were made yery sick, among them our mayor, by riding around, and several accidents sustained, though fortunately none of a serious nature. The first quarterly conference of the Biacksbtirg Station, M. E. church, will be ' held here on Pu.iday, the 10th instant. w. A. SHARON SHAVINGS. J The Orr Meetings? Dea*li of Mrs. Cynthia Hartnees?People on :lie More?Personal and Other Matters* : Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. I Sharon, December 5.?Since the recent big Orr meeting, things have been rather quiet about this place. It is the general j opinion, however, that Mr. Orr did much ( * good here, and that the seeds sown have fallen on good ground. Mrs. Cynthia Hartness, who lived near ] here, died on last Monday. She had the j misfortune to get one of her hips broken , about two weeks ago, and was unable to | rally from the effects of the injury. She was aged about 90, and had been confined to ' her house for several years. Miss Alice Ross has been quite ill for about ten davs. I am elad to hear, however, that she is better this morning, and the probability is that she will soon be up again. Mr. B. C. Ross and family left here last | Monday for Columbia, with the intention of . making that place their future home. < Mr. J. B. Patrick, of this place, and ' Messrs. Mitchell and Robinson, of White Oak, left for Smith county, Texas, on Monday. Their many friends in this vicinity wish them all prd&perity in their new home, i It is quite dull around Sharon today. 1 Nearly everybody has gone to Yorkville to J attend the sales. 1 Mr. A. J. Berry and family have moved to Tirzah. Services were held at both of the churches < here yesterday. Miss E. J. Gilfillen, of this place, slaugh- 1 tered three hogs last week, each of them ( nine months old, and they aggregated 796 ( pounds net. How is that for good hogs ? ' When we can do the like of that in this coun- 1 try, what is the use in going to Kentucky ] after our meat ? i I understand that Mr. S. S.

LETTER FROM L0WRYSV1LLE. A Successful Meeting?No Aspirants to the Cabinet?The Uuaeeommodating It. & D. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Lowrysville, December 5.?A very successful meeting was closed here last Friday night by Evaugelist C. M. Howard. Thirty-four were added to the church here, and a number to other churches in the vicinity. Mr. Howard is now conducting services at Uriel church, near Lewis's Turnout. The rise in the price of cotton has been of great benefit to this section, though a good portion of the crop had already been sold. Our town does not afTord an aspirant for any position in Cleveland's cabinet. Your readers may wonder at this, as almost every town heard from has one or more. There is great dissatisfaction with the schedule on the C. & L. railroad. We feel that we have paid taxes too long and patiently to build this road, to be accommodated with a schedule that accommodates no one. We cannot go or come from anywhere south, without staying over all night, and we get no mail matter until it is a day or more old. If the railroad authorities persist in running their trains so greatly to our in jury, there is talk of appealing to the rail-1 road commission and to the postmaster gen- j 1 eral. w. o. ?. N LETTER FROM*GROVER. ; \ Cotton All Gathered?Rev. F. C. Kickson Goes to Antioch?They Will Sow Wheat. r Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer. Grover, December 5.?Cotton is all gath- } ered and about all sold in this section. The ' rise in price came too late to benefit those in \ this section who most needed it. Past experience had taught them that to hold cotton was to lose money, and as fast as a bale was . gathered it was sold. Notwithstanding that cotton has .sold for < more than anybody had expected, arid flour * is only worth two dollars per hundred, there [ has been a larger wheat crop sowed this e year than last. Last year's crop was the J largest for many years. Rev. F. C. Hickson has accepted the pas- torate of Antioch church, near here, and ,, preached his first sermon to his new congregation last Saturday. He also preached to ] a large congregation on Sunday. r A Christmas tree will be one of the attrac- * tions at the Baptist church at this place dur- c ing the coming holidays. c. c. h. n SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. ?

HEMPHILL.?Miss Emma Cath- ll \rxne Moore was born March 1, 1815. August a 28,1854, she married Mr. S. O. Hemphill, with j whom she lived happily until his death, Sep- J tembfcr 22,1883. j After a delay of a few years, the grim reaper cut her down also, as he, sooner or later, does t] svery one, and required her to begin the long > deep in the silent tomb. sue unxi ?eptemDer! w ith, 1892, after a lingering illne&s. I Many ran testily that Mrs. Hemphill was ofj benevolent heart. For more than sixty years j ^ she was a devoted member of Bethesda church, p and during these years she was libenil in her I (j support and diligent in her use of the means of j 'j grace. She could say with the Psalmist, "Lord, i j, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and | the place where thine honor dwelleth." When , p sickness had denied her the privelege of wor-1 j, shipping in God's house, she requested her pastor to read, "As the heart pantelh after the water ' f{ brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O, God," j and spoke of longing to worship again in the ' s, tabernacles of Jehovah so amiable to her soul, j' God graciously blessed her with health and ; r strength, and let her tarry some years among | j those who love<l her, after*she had crossed the allotted limit of human life. Old age was a g blessing to her; for, in the Christian lift', !, "Age is opportunity 110 less Than youth itself, though hi another dress, ^ And as the evening twilight fades away, The sky is tilled with stars, invisible by day." j '! The Christian's work is not done because old age has come, any more than the fruit is useless ! j when ripe anil ready to fall, or the rose is use- i less when full blown, breathing out a delicate | ? perfume and radiant with a matchless beauty. , She enjoyed the peculiar privilege of old age? I, the blessed privilege of testifying to the power' of the gospel by patient endurance of the in- J infirmities of life, and calm trust in view of the : approaching change.

We are sure that no such bargains have ever before been offered in Yorkville. We have recently received a largo lot of HANDSOME GLASSWARE, and many of the pieces would readily retail at twenty-five cents under ordinary circumstances, but we have placed the whole lot on "A Ten Gents Counter" and will allow customers to take any piece in the lot for a DIME. The "ladies aro invited to call and see these goods and make their selections before they are picked over. Remember there is hardly an article in the lot that would not sell for Ten cents at anytime, and a great many that would bring much more. We have other NEW GOODS but will not attempt to go into details at this time. KENNEDY BROS. A BARRON. I RIDDLE & CARROLL. LAY IN YOUR SUPPLY. WE ARK of the opinion that tho Flour market has touched ROCK BOTTOM, and being of this opinion we have just received THREE CAR LOADS. We, as usual, bought at bottom figures and are now retailing as FINE flour as is made on the American continent for $2.75 a sack?Flour that would have been considered cheap at 83.23 a sack three months ago. We are selling an excellent Patent Flour for 82.50 a sack, and have it all the way down to 8L75 a sack. Think of it. Flour for 1 i cents a pound. Cotton UP and Flour DOWN. We do not believe this condition of atrairs will last long, and would advise our friends to lay in a supply without delay. The Flour we are selling at 82.75? THE FINEST MADE?may bo worth 85.25 to 83.50 by the first of February, or sooner, and we have no idea that there will be a better time to buy than now?TODAY. A FEW days ago one of our customers was heard to say to a friend : "If you want the very best goods that are brought to York and honest prices and fair treatment, Riddle A Carroll's is tho place to get it. You can always depend on anything you get from them as being strictly first-class." We don't believe we could have put our BUSINESS CREED INTO STRONGER LANGUAGE ourselves if we had tried.

If you uro a preacher, doctor, mechanic, lawyer, farmer, kinsman, friend or foe, and owe us for goods bought previous to NOVEMBER 1ST, 1K92, or owe us a note that is due, wo mean YOU, separately and collectively. If you are a rascal, WE DON'T MEAN YOU; for we have tried very hard to evade that class of customers?men who have a beautiful story of love, confidence and fidelity in the springtime when the God of the universe senus the little birds to herald the coming of the seed time ; when the buds are bursting and the trees aro taking on their foliage; when the mocking birds sends their trilling notes, annnoucing to .tlio whole world that peace and happiness is our future hope.

The Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association is, without exception, the best pure life insurance company in the world. Its record is spotless. Its assets on January 1,1892, as compared to lia bility, were larger than any other company doing business in the United States; at least the official examination made at that time says so. It furnishes insurance at about half the price charged by the Old Line Companies. The following card from Mr. Ross Witherspoon, general manager for the Mutual Reserve for Middle and West Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas, published in the leading papers of Tennessee some time ago (in 1891) will, we think, open the eyes of some people. In the table given in the card the first column of figures shows the amount paid by the Mutual Reserve; the second column shows the amount that would have been paid by an Old Line Company, had the insured paid it the same amount of money that he paid the Mutual Reserve; and the third column shows the per cent, of insurance in favor of insured by insuring in the Mutual Reserve, as compared to 1 Old Line: STUBBORN FACTS. In the past ten days* I have paid the following death claims in full, and had tne same premiums paid our Company been paid the old-line highrate Companies, the beneficiaries would have received only the amounts shown below : per ct.

Boston, Memphis, Tenn..... 5,000 2^55 212 <33,000 $16,961 A clear loss, so faras pure life insurance is concerned, to our people in ten days from this one Agency, of $16,139 if the same premiums (by actual calculation) had been put in the old-line high-rate companies instead of in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. Such extravagance in a great measure accounts for the stringent financial status of our Southland, and the many millions hoarded up by the old line companies. Think over it as business men. I know someof the best old-line agents get the greater portion of all the first year's premiums, and a. goodly portion of the second and subsequent years' as their commissions, and that is the secret of their strong fight against the Mutual Reserve, which gives as good life insurance at about half the rates. It is disgusting to see agents of one of the large old-line companies trying to convince persons that the Mutual Reserve is not good, when I saw the .application of its Vice-President in it for $25,000, and policies Nos. 89,966 and 89,967 were issued on his life; also the application of the Superintendent of Building, Bond and Mortgage department of the same company, in it for $10,000, and policy No. 89,651 was issued to him; also application of one of its directors for $15,000, and policy No. 90,619 was issued to him. These gentlemen are posted on life insurance, and would not have wanted these large policies in the Mutual Reserve if they doubted its permanency or solidity. I might in like manner name the officers of many other old-line companies insuring with us, whose agents bark at the great success of the Mutual Reserve. ROSS WlTHERSPOON, Manager for Middle and West Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas. Office, Memphis, Tenn. We will be pleased to furnish all interested in the subject of life insurance with the Mutual Reserve's rates. A fair and honest investigation will convince any sensible man that our company is the one in which to insure his life. Do not imagine that because we do not come to see you and talk to you until you wish you had never ' been born, that we do not want to insure you, because we do. We lay the matter before you, and allow you to decide what you will do about it. GRIST BROS. & BRICE, Gen'l Agts., Yorkville, S. C.
