DENMARK. History and Picture of [ Church, Also Stew V When the railroad from Charleston to Hamberg was built in 1S-? there was established a station in Barnwell county, now Bamberg, named Graham's Turnout. The Methodists had a church named Bethel, west of this station three and one-half miles, and a church east of Grahams, near Hepzibah. In 18 >8 this last named church was discontinued and a church was built near the station, and became the parsonage church of BETHEL PARK METHODIST Graham Circuit. This church enjoyed a great revival under the pastorate of Rev. J. W. McRoy about 1874. Since that time it has had continued prosperity. In 18? the South Bound Railroad was built, and later on the Atlantic Coast Line, both crossing the old railroad one mile west of the town. Around this union station a new town sprang up, causing much rivalry. The old town has not prospered, and it has been seen tor years that we would 'have some day to build in the new town (now Denmark), named in hon | . H rm I 1 i# REV.

Little Dorothy, at the age of six, was very thoughtless regarding the care of her clothes and the many admonitions she had received about neatly arranging her clothes on a I chair each night before retiring were! daily forgotten. One night just as she was ready j J for bed, her mother came in, and i j finding little garments in a heap on | | the floor, as usual, said. "Dorothy, I you may say your prayers and then | mother will have to punish you for: : not minding her about your clothes." j j Having said this she stepped into the i adjoining room and partially closed the door. In a few moments she heard Dorothy, who was a firm believer in the power of praver, repeat, "Now I lay j me," and after the "amen" she j heard this appeal: "And, dear Lord,; if ever you wanted to help a little kid, now's your chance."?The Delineator. The Rubber Snake Fool. Savannah. Ga., Oct. 20.?The sud den uncoiling of a rubber snake a few inches in front of her face gave 1 Mrs. Harry Lorraine, wife of the ( manager of the Academy Theater : here, a narrow escape from death , last night. The woman, as soon as 1 she saw the fake reptile, fell to the floor of the theater and lapsed into unconsciousness, from which she did not recover for several hours, despite efforts of physicians to revive her.

He was recently convicted in the United States court in Pennsylvania of fraud in connection with these operations, but appealed and while out under bondj came to New York and was arrested i, on the Barry charge.
