~ whether they will or will nbt have
^^<r works on Tuesday, April 2nd, by
Issuing seventy-seven thousand dollars
worth of bonds for that purpose, and
for the issuing of eight thousand dollars
worth of bonds for the rehabilitation
of the electric light plant, it is
appropriate, and eminently proper,
that these same citizens who are to
determine this question meet and nominate
three citizens who shall constitute
the Board of Commissioners
whose duty it will be to advertise and
sell the bonds, receive the money, and
make contracts for the Installation of
the plant Cheraw is to have. This is
one of the most important features of
the whole thing, and the citizens
should give it very careful considera>
tion, as a few mistakes along this linq
may cost thousands of dollars. We
have many good citizens and good
business men, who doubtless will be
willing to serve when a majority of
the people request It, and everybody
should come out, and nominate the
men of his choice, and then support
the nominees at the election on next
Tuesday. This will be the Democratic
principle, and in line with Cheraw's
past politics.

The following letter to the Southern
Christian Advocate will be read with
Interest by a great number of our
readers who are not readers of the
Advofcate: .
It Is late, but not too late, to say
that a most cordial welcome was given
us when we arrived in Chesterfield, and
further, to express! our appreciation of
great kindness off the go^meopla o|
ever served a mcj*e 1 j agblul a^fl
liberal souled pe*)le. May taey rich^
rewarded for their, goodness to this
humble itinerant and his family during
last year.
But as to our present work: The
Lord has blessed us in our labors. A
few weeks ago we raised the debt on
St. Paul's church. The debt was
j nearly $1,300. Then Mr. W. D. Craig
gave the church a splendid piano. So
we are in better position to do good
work.
We began a meeting at St. Paul's
the fourth Sunday in March and continued
nine days; though the rain interfered
so that we missed a few
(services. The meeting would have
continued for some days had I not
gotten sick. Also fny good co-laborer
here, Brother T. B. Owen, was
sick. So there was nothing to do but
close the meeting. However, I am
sure much good was done. The Spirit
Iwas manifestly present. Two joined
the church, with possibly others lo
follow.
At Shiloh and Zoar I have missed
some appointments on account of
snows and rains, and consequently
feel that I have done but little so far
in those congregations.
I must mention also the surprise
given us recently by the St. Paul's
congregation. They brought many
good things for the inner-man. Not
cnly at this time, however,/ but all
along we have been the recipient of
n;any kindnesses. We shall try to do
better service.
The outlook is bright, but there is
much to be done. Better Sunday
schools, a deeper and more general

was with us during the last big
snow, and no service was held Sunday.
However, those who were present
at quarterly conference on Monday
were most favorably impressed
'and helped by his inquiry into and
discussion of the Sunday school work.
