'O * n Sunday was the first anniversar y of the disastrous fire which destroy 1, ed a large business and residence sei tion of the city of Newberry. In tin 0 fire two of the city's churches wei swept away?(Aveleigh Presbvteria 1? church and Thompson street A.' I 'f P. church, the parsonage of Aveleig ' > church being also destroyed. Withi it the course of a few weeks the parsoi >- age was rebuilt, and on Sunday inori ing the Presbyterians held the fir; y service in the handsome new churc is edifice which has been built on Hi 'f site of the former church. The new Associate Reformed Pre! byterian church, which is being erec L. ed farther up Mia in street than tli former church, the new bitibring b< h ing at the corner of Main and Ca houn streets, is nearimr completioi and it is expected l<> hold services i this church in the not distant futuri The first sermon in lh.e new Pre: ibyterian church was preached on Sui day morning by the Rev. C. P. Pari er, of Marion. Only a few weeks a c tor the disastrous conflagration whie | destroyed their church, the Presbylei ' ian congregation suffered an irrepars 13 ble loss in the death of their devote pastor, the Rev. J. L. Williatnso! Since his (Teat!i the congregatioi 1 which has been worshipinu1 in th 11 Lutheran Church of the Rcdeeine lias been without a pastor. For soni time past the Rev. Mr. Wilson, n Clinlon. lias been comlucling the sei j; vices for the eniirregalioii. ami lie w;i present on Sunday morniim-. and cm ducted the services in the new churcl s It is expected that a pastor wili ij secured very soon. The new church building is a moi ern church t-difice. and is a credit I the congregation and to the city r, I Newberry. In proportions and genet ; at design it resembles the forme >. church, but it is a handsomer buile 0 ing in every respect. Its ample sealing capacity was ta? s ed on Sunday morning hy the congr? - gation which heard the Rev. Mr. Pai n ker's sermon. Mr. Parker began b 0 expressing pleasure in bsing preset i- and especially in preaching to a cot gregation which deserved so nine credit for replacing their forme church with such an elegant structui in so tdiort a timc. lie chose as his text eight verses u e tlic second chapter of St. Paul's Epi: s tie to the Philippians. lii's subject h 1 ing "Obedience as exemplified" to ii 0 in Jesus Christ." Takintv Christ a _ the exemplar of perfect obedience, h y. developed his theme in a logical an 1 Ioreelul manner. In bringing hi e thought home to his hearers he spok > of the relations of parents and child ren, and the necessity that child re should learn obedience to their pat t. ents in order that in after life the mkrhl obey the civil authority and b 3 able to control themselves. j The speaker drew a beautiful pie [ turn of the life of Christ r.s an exam pie of perfect obedience. Hod's good _ hps. he said, was the authority fo . obedience. Christ's motive for obed ience was love. In conclusion, the speaker spoke o the supreme test of obedience. T die was a little thing. Tf was not ii ' the act of deal it that we exemplify absolute and perfect obedience. "Un to death" were the words of the apos ' tie. The ordering of a perfect dail; 1 life in every step, motive and though would be obedience unto death. Tli speaker believed that the apostle ' when he said "unto death" mean 1 "unto death." Tn this connection the speaker said, he liked to think o the words of the Apostle Paul ti I King Agrippa: "W'herenpon. O kin; r Agrippa. I was not disobedient unt< the heavenly vision." "Have you i 51 vision today," he .asked. "Do yoi | see any duties yet undone, any word of love yet unspoken? Do you see lb * vision ? Tf so, flod grant that we ma; not be disobedient, but obedient, su , premely obedient, to the heavenly vis ion; yea, every day, every bout through all these mortal years?am obedient like Christ was, unt death.'' ) ? i Mr. W.

" I'he parade yesterday morning j was svn and enjoyed bv hundreds of j ! spectator- along its line of march, and j when the tent was thrown open fori the aftonioo i performance, a nvajor ity or flic tiers were filled. The show - went ofT wit.h a snap quite rem arky able, considering- the fact that it was lithe first time the performers had ap' ! pea red publicly since last season, and h J there was niot a hitch in the entire ''' j prosy ram. In the darinjy exhibition of c j physical feats in mid-air, Mrs. Val| inteenos. one of the Valtineenos f I troupe, received a painful though not s- | serious injury. e ! "During" t>he night performance is j rain poured most of the time in toris rents, but inside the canvas cvarye liiin.tr was dry. The tents are all d j now, fixtures and' costumes are all s brig'hl and fresh. There was evident o during most of the program a slight [- feeling of nervousness among th<* n performers, quite natural at an ini - tial appearance of the season, but y this the spectators seemed to enjoy e rather than condemn. An audience appears always to bo mor.i deeply impressed with a difficult act if the per_ former smiles during his turn, and [i hesitates otH'e or twice, just the t. i least oil. than if lie goes throusyh his j ("stunt' with the unerring precision j I of a mechanical device. f j "The equestrian feats were all very j good, and' Mr. Win.

The Little Fellow And His Dog Tige With a Full Company Soon to be In Newberry. Judging from* criticisms in exchanges received at this olTlee, a hotter production is to be expected of the jolly musical comedy, Buster Brown, which is to be. in Newberry on April 3, than on any previous visit. Busier and his happy family recently apjxjared at the grand opera house, Atlanta. Speaking of this appear ancc the Atlanta Constitution said: "H. F. Outeault's cartoon of the now famous mischievous boy, who is welcomed by thousands in the Constitution's Sunday comic supplement every week, burst into life at the gran :l last nitiht, and' to draw conclusions from the reception givei the little fellow, he is just as popular in real flesh and blood as he is on paper. "With Jiinmie Roshen, the Lilliputian comedian, as Busier Brown; Mat tie Locket, as Mary Jane, and A1 Grady, as the ever faithful Tige, the comedy lniilt from the cartoon is great. We who have seen Buster in the pictures formed no more lifelike conception of him than is given by M r. Rosbcn, who, indeed, seems to have .just stepped from tho colored likeness that has been placed before us for years. To him must be given the credit of being the (ilistincl star member of ihc cast, but Mlary Jane and Tine cannot be overlooked. Tige himself is one of the most popular personages, even though he bo but a dog, that appears on the stage, and lie, or rather A1 Grady cm Ihc inside of the dog makeup, was a favorite. "Mr. Grady carries out the "stand by me. Tine, "just as it is done in the cartoons, and as that is the idea he is striving for, what more of a complimentary uainiv ci-ubi' be said of him? Mr. Ku?;be:i sj eaks his lines just as we imagine tlie words coining from his mouth in the rings in (lie pictures should he said to give the proper effect, and Mary Jane is exceptional. "Besides her part in Buster pranks. Miss Lockett does some very clever somr and daivce specialties, which were roundly applauded. "The company is as good as it was la<t season. Mr. and Mrs. BroWitv are ably depicted by Leonard Del-more' av I Fannie Thatcher, and Frances Franc;'* makes a good mother-in-law f?.r Butter to remove. "There's a good quartet with the company, and quartet music appeals to everyone. "Anions'' the song hits were "Won't Von Be My Baby Boy?" sung by Miss Lockett and chorus. In this she fails to get a someone in the audience to be her baby boy, but one of the company from an upper box finally accepts the job with a good voice. "Minnie Lee, as Susie, is daintily clever iin her songs. Her duet with Jack Winn, is very catclr.ng. The quartet adds a -"great deal to this trj'rber. B ister v ;J1 ;be seen toiiglu amf Saturday, with a matinee Saturday. "Alex Lynn." A Good Show Coming. Kiirhardl and Wells have ;in attraction coming on short notice, but it is a good' one. The Little Detective is the name of the play, and will be seen here on Wednesday night, April 1st, at the city opera house. Old theatre goers will be able to recall with pleasure the performances of Lotta Crab tree and Katie Putnam. It is many years since these two clever actresses retired from the glare of the stage. Miss Dorrit Ashton, a very talented and versatile actress, will assume the parts formerly played by the two actreses mentioned above. Miss Ashton is surrounded by an exceptionally strong supporting company and carries some very elaborate stage settings. This attraction will be here on Wednesday of thU week, and lovers of a good clean play should not miss it. Death of Miss Eliza Harris. Miss Eliza Harris died at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. B. Martin, on Saturday afternoon, after a protract* ed illness. Miss Harris had been at the hospital in Columbia for an operation, and it was thought that she was improving, but she finally grew worse until tho end came on Isat. Saturday. The funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at four o 'clock. Dead Fall Union. The Dead Fall Farmer's Union will hold a meeting at the school house on Friday, April 3, at three o'clock.
