We were disappointed In the con gregation for we thought there had been so many Sundays this winter that the people could not assemble together at the house of God, that the whole church would be there; but the congregation was small. I think we are tried In many ways to see if | our faith is strong. God in his mys terious ways will keep ub from I church, then give us an opportunity | to see if we will go, then if we fail to go, I believe many times he sends J things on ub so we "can't go.

He has been our leader in music for many years, but lias moved to Anderson, and we miss him and hlB family very much. We appreciated him very much Indeed.

His plac? waa never vacant only when sickness of the fam. ily kept him away. He has been a faithful deacon and Sunday school teacher for many years, and when we are UBed to seeing one present all the time, evea if they take no active part, their absence makes a great va cancy, but such men aa Mr. White, their places can't be filled. If we had more such men the world would be much better. I never heard Mr. White pray without asking God's blesBlng on the sick. He was always thoughtful of them and prayed for them. Mrs. Stringer has also been sick for several weeks or months rather, but is some better. ( We hope she .will get able f to worship with ub again, even if flhe is in the eighties. She is a faithful mother of Israel.

Fifty years ago most people thought it a child didn't have a talent for music, it was useless to try to teach them music. People have changed their minds now, for children have learned to play Well; also sing well by training, and I think it la the duty 0f all parents to do their duty as far as they are.able to^gtve child a musical education. Many times we find a hidden talent that d e vol op a, when if they* had not been educated In music they would have never known they had any music ia them: What is there that lo more charming then music?

Of course some will suc ceed anyway, but not many. Let us help the teachers by sending them every day, rain or shine. All true parents want their children to be a success in the world, but they can't be without an education. They can't get an education without they go reg ularly. They can't learn without they study and obey the teacher; so let's see that they do all. TOWN VILLE NEWS.

The method the thief or thieves? for the Job was undoubtedly the work of at least two persons?employed Is one of the BhrewdCBt that has been used about here in quite a while, the police assert. And yet the plan is so simple, they say', that almost anyone would fall for it. Going back to the beginning, Sam DiBbner notified the police about noon yesterday tbat his place of business had been entered while he was out of tho otfice and a considerable quan tity of brasfi, coppor and other Junk Btolen. Officers responded to the call and mode an inspection of Dishner'a place, which is the old Stacy Oaborne livery stable. Just across Manning street from the oil mill. Dlshner told the police that a ne gro from the oil'mill came down to j his place and told him that someone wished to apeak to h<m over the tele-1 phone. Dishner worn. X> answer the telephone, call and left his plate ot business open. While he was gone someone entered the place and made atway with a considerable quantity of stuff, which Dlshner d?clar?e was worth $36. The police believe that the t?l? phon? call was a fake, for when Dlsh ner got to the 'phone the party who called him had gene. The officers are of the opinion that the person who called Dishner over the telephone cooperated with a partner, the latter entering the junk shop Just at the time Dishner was called out to ans wer the telephone. As yet no arrests have'been made in the case. The officers believe that they know the guilty party or parUes, and state that they will have some one under arrest shortly.

TO RIGIDLY ENFORCE THE VAGRANCY LAWS Council Believes This The Cauce of Most Lawlessness. Believing that vagrancy is a root of lawlessness and that a strict en forcement of the ordinance against this evil will have bodio weight 'in preventing a continuance of the wave of crime which has gotten**- under way in Anderson during the past few days, city council, at the special bob alon held Tuesday morning for the purpose of authorizing a reward for tbe apprehension of the slayer of Thomas M. Dodd, adopted a resolu tion Instructing Chief of Police Sum mons and other membora of the de partment to rigidly enforce the iaws against vagrancy. To offset excuses that 1 might bo offered by . anyone to the effect that he could not get employment, council created prac tically an unlimited number of jobs, authorizing tho city engineer ta commence nt once with the laying of 1.000 feet of additional sewer main on SoUth Main street. The now sower line is to begin, at No I ris street and extend to tho city limits. It is necessary for the sewer to be laid before any street paving, can be done anyway, so council thought it wisu to have the work be un qow. By laying this eower line now employment will be afforded for some 50 laborers. The work Is-to be done by day. labor, under the super vision of Street Overseer Gilmer and at the direction of City Engineer Excavation for tbe sewer-main will begin as soon as tho city engineer can make necessary surveys. The city will pay the laborers tho usual wages, not to exceed 85 cents per day. Per sons desiring work may apply to Street Overseer Gilmer. The laying of this sewer lino will cost something like 1450 or $500, and will afford sewer connections for many residences on South Main street. 2 MOUNTED POLICE TO PATROL CITY AT NIGHT Determined to suppress lawless ness In the city so far as lies within their power, city council. In special session yesterday morning for . the purpose ol authorizing the offering of a reward for the Blayer of Thomas M. Dodd, Instructed Chief of Police Sammons to place .two of his men on horseback and have them patrol the city from dusk to daylight, begin ning last ntght. The horse used by the chief and the one used by tbe street everseer will be used for the' night1 patrol duty. .Private Drlskell, who has been serv ing as call man for some time, will be detailed for regular patrol duty. The second patrol man will be selected from night to night from the remain ing members of the police force. Council also authorized Chief Sam mons to employ an extra policeman, to be placed on duty at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon and remain on duty until 1 o'clock Sunday morning, every week. This extra man will be de tailed for duty in Ward *6. The or der Will bo in force until revoked by council. The sldermen believe that by mounting two of the policemen and having them patrol tho city at night oh horseback Will have some, effect in reducing lawlessness, a wave ' of wbich has been going on in; tho city for ?io past few days. > Princeton Ball Team. .
