H.Pnlon of llrotul River Association. The annual Sunday School Union of the Broad RiTer Association con vened at Providence Baptist church, one and a half miles north of this city, last Friday. We ore indebted to Prof. L. B. Davis for the following report of the proceedings: The introductory services, iu the absence of the regular appointee, Rev. J. M. Bridges, were performed by Rev. W. 8. Ford, of Gaffney. Mr. Ford preached an interesting sermon from the fifteenth chapter of John, emphasizing with great force the blessed assurance of a blessing, spiritually, to every Christian who continually abides in the words of the Lord. Rev. F. C. Hickson and L. B. Davis were elected permanent officers for the work of the union. Dinner was announced and on this occasion, as on all other similar ones, the good people of Providence most abundantly provided for the tempo ral wants of all who were present. After dinner the roll of churches composing the northern wing of the Broad River Association was call ed for. Eight churches responded by delegates present, also one Sun day school. The work of the union then began in earnest. The various subjects for the First day’s work were well and ably discussed, most of the brethren present taking part in the discussion. Among visiting brethren Rev. M. T. Davis, of Texat, was rec ognized by the president and wel comed by the ucioo. He vas asked to join In the discussion, which he did. Notwithstanding the rain today work is being done by all present and, as on the previous day, all sub jects were well handled and no time lost. The day closed, having, it is believed, been well and delightfully enjoyed by all. As on the previous day an abundaoce of good things to eat were spread before all. We were assigned to the home of that most substantial farmer and warmly es teemed brother, Clarence Turner. He and his most esteemed lady have made our stay (for my brother, M. T. Davis, is with me here) with them most agreeable, indeed. Sunday Rev. W. S. B. Ford preach ed at eleven o’clock. He preached an able sermon on the subject of missions, after which a collection for foreign missions wag taken up. This was one of the most liberal col lections ever raised at any of the unions. Dinner was again enjoyed by all present. Rev. A. C. Cree, of Gaffney, preached in the afternoon. This was another feast of spiritual food. He preached an able and very instructive sermon. Truly the union at Providence has been an enjoyable one to all who at tended it. Il is to be regretted that some young ladles who bad prepared essays to read on Sunday morning did not report Saturday so as to have them placed od the program for Sunday morning. Schools »ra Closing. The school at Pins Grove, Miss Sadie May Bird teacher, closed on Friday a week ago with appropriate exercises. This is one of the pros- perou^ections of the county and the school has been well attended by the children of the neighborhood. Miss Bird has won the confidence of the people by the able manner in which she has conducted her school and it was with regret that the pleas ant relationship of teacher and scholars has been severed. Rev. A. J. Hensley has closed his school at Antioch, the closing exer cises having taken place last Friday, the program embraoing a day and night exercise. Mr,*Hensley has had a most successful session, and, this school being also located in one of the very best seotions of the county, it has been liberally patronized. The cloalng of the school was an event that will long linger in the minds of those most deeply interested. County Superintendent of Educa tion McArthur attended both these closing exercises and he Is profuse in his praises of the work done. Mr. McArthur thinks, and justly so, for they fed him on the fat of the land while he was there, that there are ‘few sections that equal and none that surpass Pine Grove and AnCioch. fJlown to Atoms, The old Idea that the body some times needs a powerful, drastic, purgative pill has been exploded; for Dr. King’s New Life Pills, which are perfectly harmless, gently stimulate liver and bowels to expel poisonous matter, cleanse tbe system and absolutely cure Constipation and Sick Headache, Only 25o at Chero kee Drug Co. A Cat Adopts a Chicken. Magistrate W. S. Hall is, under or dinary circumstances, a most truth ful man, therefore, in order that our veracity may not be questioned, we will state that he is responsible for the following story: “I’ll tell you of a rather strange incident that has taken place at my house, and al though I have heard of similar inci dents, this is the first time I have ever really witnessed the occurrence. We have a cat at our house that gave birth to a litter of kittens* they were puny and began dying off until fi nally there was but one left, and, af ter lingering a few days, it died. The cat nursed her grief but a short while and went out into the yard and brought a little chicken into the house, carrying it between her teeth, She deposited the chicken in the bed formerly occupied by the kittens, and has adopted it as her own, tak ing the very best care of it. An I the remarkable thing about it all is that the chicken has taken to the adoption just as a duck would take to water.’’ A Good Colored Tearlier. E. D. Littlejohn is one of the fore most colored teachers in tbe county, and County Superintendent of Edu cation McArthur says that so far as his qualifications go there is no col ored teacher in tiie county that sur passes him, unless it be the Rev R. C. Campbell, the principal of the Gaffney Graded School for colored children. Ed has been teaching this year near Wilkinsville. His school will be out on the twelfth of this month, when he proposes standing an examination for a first grade certifi cate in order that he may secure a better position next year. We un derstand that he is giving the best of satisfaction to his patrons. lIullliider-IUiniMcy. On Sunday afternoon at 1 o’clock at tbe home of the bride in this city Mr. H. I. Hullinder, of the Antioch section, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mrs. Mary Jane Ramsey. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. 8. B. Ford, pastor of tbe Second Baptist ckurch. At tbe conclusion of the ceremony a reception was tendered the newly wedded couple and a sumptuous din ner was spread. This is Mr. Hullinder’s fourth ven ture upon the matrimonial sea, an experience that few men enjoy. Mr. and Mrs. Hullinder will make Gaff ney their future home. We wish them long life and much happiness. A Sunday School Mass Meeting. A Sunday School mass meeting was held at the Second Baptist church in this city Sunday evening at 8 o’clock. An able and instruc tive address was delivered by Rev. F. G. Hickson, pastor of Providence church. The attendance was ex- ceptiodally large, in fact it was im possible to accommodate all who de sired to attend and a number were turned away because of lack of room. “Last winter I was confined to my bed with a very bad cold on the lungs. Nothing gave me relief. Fi nally my wife bought a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure that effected a speedy cure. I cannot speak, too highly of that excellent remedy.’’— Mr. T. K. Houseman, Manatawney, Pa. Cherokee Drug Co. “Home first, the world aftarwards,’’ is a good motto for either iulividuals or communities.
