The sacred cantata which was to have been given on the night of De ember 22, in Central Methodist church, in which Dr. and Mrs. Thom as and other talented singers were to take part, has necessarily been post nd ntil after Christmas. THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of Central Church Oldest Wo man's Society in South. On Wednesdzi.y evenIii::. ni ('entral Methodist ebure'hel, the thirtleth n ver1rV of the Wonlai' 1i'sionary so(iet.v was celebrated. There was a small but al)precia-tive audience present and 'the service was entered into with much enthusiasm. There was a full choir present, with the eveeption of the organist, an] the singing was good. Mrs. Frank Davenport presided at the piano, in the absence of Mrs. Burr Martin. The address of the evening was made by Mrs. J. W. Humbert, who in her enthusiastic manner gave an interesting account of the organiza tion of this wonderful movement among the women of the South, and presented much valuable data. She said that tile Woman's Foreign Mis sionary society, of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, was preemin ently the leader of all women's socie ties in the Southland. *As is rec)g nized now. there are more of these or ganizations and societies than can well be supported, .yet Wednesday night was only the thirtieth birthday of the first one. Mrs. Humbert told of this first organization, how that after the officers had been elected the women could not speak until the men had retired. She also read the roll of the members of this first society, and many of the name were familiar to those present on Wednesday night; and many are now numbered among the sainted dead, the very calling of their names bringing uppreciouI mem ories. Thirty years is a long tir i, and as Dr. Wolling remarked in his short talk. "it mows down a generation." Besides being the first woman's or ganization in the State, it perhaps has done more from a financial stand point than any 6ther. Thousands of dollars have passed through the hands of the treasurer, and many missionaries in many fields have been supported by them. T:uly in the great "reckoning up"' the women will not be found wanting, for they have done much in carrying the "red stained banner of the eross" unto the uttermost.parts of the earth. It should not be a mnatter of indif ference to the citizens of this city that Newbery has the distinction of being the birthp'lace of the first wo man's society in the State; and the women of this organization should not be unmindful that they have as a heritage the honor of being not only members of the first organization in t!he State, but also of being the old est, yea the leader of all women's so eieties in the South. Death of Mrs. Mary Bishop Smithi. Mrs. Mary Bishop Smith, wife of Mr. W. E. Smith, died on Tuesday, December, 15, at the home of her father, in this city, after a long per iod of intense suffering. Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Mr. Clinton W. and Mrs. Christian Meredith Bishop. She was born in Newberry a little over thirty-two years ago. Until her marriage she lived in this city, where she was lov ed and esteemed by those wvho knew her. On September 16. 1895, she was married to Mr. W. E. Smith. For a few years they resided in Orange burg, and then removed to Columbia, which has been their home since. Mrs. ~Smith has been seriously ill for several weeks, and often during this time her life was despaired of, but for a long time she held on with suh strong determination and brave endeavor that death was warded off for a little while. Besides her husband, Mrs. Smith1 leaves two little children, the oldest a lttle girl about nine or ten years old, and a littQe boy about six years old. An infant preceded the mother to rest some few weeks ago. The children will be taken to the home of their uncle, Mr. George W. Bishop, who lives in Columbia, and will there make their home for the present. Much sympathy is felt for the heart bro'ken husband, the little moth erless children, the father, arnd the other relatives of Mrs. Smith. She lived a beautiful life, and has gone to her eternal reward trusting con fidently in her Savior. The funeral exercises were: held at Central Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock, the services conducted by Dr. Wolling, who is a relative of Mrs. Smith 's family. The body was buried at Rosemont ceme Silver Street Lutheran Church. The Sunday school of the Silver Street Lutheran con.:regation will meet next Sundar afternoon at 2..30 o'clock.

An Extraordinary Musical Attraction to Appear at Newberry Opera House, January 27. Tip 1hoei - unllow hinIs thC; trical tie fact that iite big musical gaiety. "A Knight For a Day'' came to New York direet fromi its plienom eiial suecess of 607 performances in Chicaco and immediately gained fav or with the patrons of the theatre in the eastern metropolis to such an ex tent that it continued at Wallack's for six months to capacity business, will doubtless be ample proof of its legitimate claim to the most tuna ful seore, the eleverest book and the most delightful lyrics of any musi cal piece in the past decade. It went from Wallaek's in the latter part of June last to the Tremont in Boston and continued there for the entire summer and up to September these three cities were the only ones af forded an opportunity of witnessing it. The initial presentation was made under the direction of B. -C. Whitney who still stands sponsor for it and the statement that it is credited with excelling in perfectness of sciene equipment, electric novelties and rich ness of costumes and production pre viously made by this well-known pro ducer of musical plays will mean a great deal more to those who are fa miliar with his lavishness in this re gard than mere-idle boast. Like all the other Whitney produe tions the ensembles, dances, and ehor us evolutions have been devised by Gus Sohlike whose cleverness in his particular line has won for him the name of the "Wizard." Dr. Sohlke is said to be one of the fed directors of musical productions. who can pro duce season after season and still nev er duplicate any of his clever work. Each number he puts on is said to be in a class entirely by itself and he is said to have given this his latest ef fort several novelties which will be a surprise to even those who are thor oughly familiar with his work.
