It is customary for the papers 1 to publish articles of praise for s departing pastors who have done 1 faithful work, but this paper has 1 had nice things to say about 1 Rev. J. McGraw, the' M? E. 1 past or who has gone, at various j 1 tirnes during his stay here, and ] eulogies now would be like j flowers on a grave, too late to i do him good. However, we de- 1 sire to say that in the opinion of < _t _ - ?ne wnter, a more consecrated, ; whole-souled christian never walked the streets of our town | He has religion. His life bears l out his precepts. He is gone, t but his work will go on. Fif i teen hundred pastoral calls, 600 t sermons, 10,100 miles traveled t on duty, and the other acts of t his busy 4-year stay on this <] charge can not fail to bring a x harvest of good. s Mr. L. L. Parker and a negro s driver had a rather exciting run 1 away Sunday night a mile or ( two south of Monroe. Mr. I Parker was on his way from a Charlotte and secured a turnout 1 in Monroe. Two large horses a were hitched to a buggy with a I short pole, and , as they trotted a the front wheels would strike b their legs. They ran at full S speed for about a mile but re- L mained in the road. When thev v started down the long McLarty c hill just north of Lee's mill one b horse slipped down and was b right badly hurt. Mr. Parker I then decided he didn't want to a come to Pageland that night ji anyway, so he returned to Mon- t< roe and spent the night. Nothing v was hurt except the horse thgt S slipped and fell. h There will be a Christmas ee at Zion Friday afternoon, ?i December 24th at 2 o'clock The ladies of the Methodist ^ hurch of Ruby will give a box upper tonight for the benefit of e{ le churchy A cordial invitation t extendea to all. ^ Mr. Richard Rollins has mov tb d his family from his farm in pi le Cook's mill section to a w ouse on the Jefferson road just auth Of town.

Smith, Pageland's lew chief, tell$ of an interesting xperience with an old army ifle in his boyhood days in forth Carolina. The rifle be onged to his father, who was way from home a good deal. rrank enjoyed shooting the gun ind he often loaded it with towder and shot, like the old ashioned muzzle loader. John vas a few years vounger than ?rank and he had a longing to hoot that gun and he very fre luently expressed that desire to us olvler brother. One day while "the old man" vas away Frank decided to have i laugh on John. He says he illed the old rifle about a third ull of powder, packed it well, ind, as shot were scarce, he fillid the barrel nearly to the muzzle vith gravels and finished filling t with wadding. He then callid J,oho and told him he mighl hoot, fohn bravely took the run and pulled the trigger, bui t failed to fire. Then he goi cared and refused to shoot rrank knew it would never dc o let his father find that load n his gun. He picked a little owder into the tube, placed the lutt of the gun against his breasi ind stuck a lighted match to the ube. He regained consciousnes; ome time the next day, anc hey told him the gun was founc lown towards the barn some ifty yards away. Frank doesn* ike to be about any kind of s run that resembles an arm} ifle of the old type. Who car dame him? !^>rn. fodder and peavine hav fo sale. Mrs. M. A. V. Funderburlc 'ageland, S. C.
