Of no little interest is the fact thft during the past few weeks, the little town of Kershaw has had within her borders a very distinguished guest, | in the person of Professor Michael V \ Rundaltzoff, formerly Academician of the Russian Academy of Fine Arts j He has several Russian decorations nd was awarded the F. ?n:h "Palmes Academiques'* of the highest order. His election to the Academy took place in 1900. During the regime of the late Czar of Russia Prof esse ?? Rundaltzoff was court painter and executed at the request c.f the Cz.u three portraits of himself ar.d the Czarina, and six of the Cza ovit.'h. During the late war he also made a portrait of the King of Belgium wnich was Bent him through the FeU*5* Embassy at Pctrogad. He was granted a decoration f r this by his Majesty. Among the personal ef fects of Profess- Rundaltzoff :s a letter from the late President tlard ng, thanking him for an etching of himself execut -d and presented to him by the a tist a token of grat tu<le for the aid given, by this countr- to 'm fellow countrymen. President Harding said many considered this the best Iik<.-n"ss ever made of l im self. During tue Revolution in Rus sia when the Rolshiviki assumed con trol of the cou:;t y Professor Rumrvt r.off lost his estate in the Crimea and was forced to undergo great hardships before being able to leave the cour.tr/. Two years later he crossed the fron tier under the disguise of an Esthon :an citizen and reached Reval, where Edward K. Howe helped him to reach the United States. Professor Rund altzoff is looking forward with great oleasure to being an American citizen within the next few months. Of more direct local interest, how ever, is the special purpose of Pro fessor Rundaltzoff's sojourn in our midst, which is the painting of a por trait of Mrs. John T. Stevens, now nearing completion, the Bkillful exe cution of which not only delineates with marvelous exactness her fea tures, but embodies in its striking ef fect enough of the personal charac teristics as well, to make its life-like portrayal of Mrs. Stevens a most won derful work of art, and a highly com mendable testimonial of the skill of the artist. ? Kershaw Era. DEATH OF REV. JABEZ FERRIS. Served as Pastor of Kershaw Baptist Church Nuuiixsr of Years. The people of Kershaw and the sur rounding country will learn with sor row of the death of the Rev. Jabez Ferris, of Batesburg, who served as pastor of the Kershaw ' First Baptist church for a number of years; and also the people of Camden, where he was pastor of the Baptist church in the city for a time. During his stay in Kershaw Rev. Mr. Ferris endeared himself deeply in the affections of th.? people here of all denominations by his Godly life and deep interest in the spiritual welfare of all citizens of the community, who remember him with grateful hearts and will unite with his loved ones and his friends in his other fields of labor and residence in their grief at his death. The following ac count of his death is taken from the Columbia State of Saturday: "Batesburg, July 9 ? The Rev. Jabez Ferris, generally regarded as Bates burg's "greatest citizen," died nt the Leesville infirmary last night nt 1 1 o'clock, after a lingering illness of . (several years. He was born in Green- ! wich. Conn., June 20, 1R40. I)urin" i the Confederate war he wns listed in the Union army but was roquired onlv j to render Home service, he being r. j ministerial student nt the time. Hv ? came to the Batesburg Baptist church | in October, 1903, and served a pastor- j ate of two years, having previously l rendered a similar service at Kershaw j In 190H he again accepted n call to, the Kershaw church, where hg remain- j ed until failing health compelled hi? j retirement, when he returned to Bates : burg. In the years following, s ? much as he had strength, he served ?<? j supply pastor to various churches in this community. Prior to hi* coming to this stat" Mr. F'erris was married, hit* wife dy infc shortly after ho came to Hates hurjf. Two children survive this un ion, Irving Ferris of Philadelphia and Miss Alice Ferris of Wilson's college, Chamhersburg, Pa. ' In 1907 he mar ried Mrs. Mamie Y. Fox of Bateshurg who also survives him. It can he truly said that no citizen of any community ever' secured i higher place in the estimation of hi fellows than Mr. Ferris did in Hates burg. He was loved by all, regard less of^ondition or creed. He wrts ?? man of considerable learning, but modest withal. Quiet and unasnuming in manner, yet he would grip the heart and conscience of those with whom he came Ip contact and yield an influence only for good. He was of ten referred to as the "Grand Old Man," and none that ever knew him loubted the consecration of himeslf to the cause of the Master he loved and served so well. "Service" was his on ly rule of conduct. Funeral services will be held at the Batesburg Baptist church Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. W. T. Derieux of Columbia has been asked to assiBt the Rev. W. O. Young. In terment will be in the Batesburg rem tery. ? Kershaw Era. NOTICE OK ELECTION OK BONDS TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS RE SIDING IN SCHOOL DISTRICT NO.
