PREACHING ATPROVIDENCE.
Proceeding* of 8. 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

perfectly harmless, gently stimulate
liver and bowels to expel poisonous
matter, cleanse tbe system and

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.

THE BATTERY!
Not the kind of BATTERY Jackson used at New Orleans.
That Battery you will remember was composed of cotton
bales and was intended to break the force of British bullets
and shield the Americans from the shot from English guns.
THE BATTERY
I wish to speak of is intended to break the force of high prices
and shield the citizens of Gaffney from big profits on /
Hats, Shoes, Dress Goods, Clothing, Notions, Underwear,
*
Etc. -i- The enormous outlet I have for merchandise enables
me to purchase direct from manufacturers, thus avoiding the
middle man’s percentage; besides we buy tons of goods
every year at half cost from assignees of merchants who have
failed or are on the verge of bankruptcy, from railroad wrecks
at 50c on the dollar, from administrators authorized to sell
for half, and from every source where HARD SPOT CASH
can bring them in at under price. * THE BATTERY will
open fire about April first. + Watch for our circulars and
quotations. They will prove equal to fire in a camp and wi^
scatter high prices to the forewinds. .....
