Celebrates Its Hundredth Anniversary with Appropriate Exercises. ComroeDciQg Saturday and con tinuing through Sunday, the congre gation of the Providence Baptist church celebrated the one hundreth anniversary of the church. Saturday was not an ideal day for a centennial celebration but a large crowd was present to witness the interesting ceremony. The program was pleas ing and instructive and' was carried out in a most satisfactory manner. The congregation assembled at 11 o’clock. After devotional exercises the Rev. E. P. Easterling, of Clio, Ma. Iboro county, preached a most ex cellent sermon appropriate to the oc casion. This was followed by some timely remarks l y the pastor, Rev. F. C. Hickson. Mr. Easterling then presented his work as special agent in the Broad River Association for the endowment of B'urmao Univer sity. Dinner was served in the church. Sunday was bright and pleasant. The pastor gave a historical sketch of the church, which will be given to the press later. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge followed with an address on “What rhe World Has Done in a Hundred Years.” The theme was a broad one and gave the speaker ample scope to display to excellent advantage his knowledge of the many things that have transpired within the past century. Dr. Lodge’s address was able, patriotic and instructive and was given the undivided attention of the large congregation. After dinner Rev. A. C. Cree de livered an address on “A Century of Missions,” in which he showed the remarkable strides that the mission ary cause had made in the past hun dred years. A feature of the day was the din ner. The bountiful repast indicated that the congregation of Providence church was in a prosperous and hap py condition. It was the grandest and finest display of provisions that has probably ever been made in Cher okee county. Providence church is situated one and one-half miles north of Gaffney, in the midst of one of the best sec tions of Cherokee county The peo ple are a loyal, law-abiding folk, who love their church and State, and the world would be the better if it were entirely populated by such a people. SAM P. JONES. The Eminent Evaugellirt Will be Seen Here Thin Seiihon. The only Sam Jones will be heard in Gaffney this season ; he will appear at the Star Theatre later on.

Just a line with your name appended is all that is requested. From the Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, Record, Oct. 12, 1903: “Shakespeare’s love tragedy at the Clemont Theatre, greeted by a very large audience which evidently en joyed the performance. Shake speare’s great love tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet,” was produced at the Clemont Theatre last evening by the Simvelle company. A large audience saw the production and tbe capable impersonation of the immortal hero and heroine was accorded liberal ap plause. The play has tbe advantage over most of the works of the great bard in that it is easily understood and followed by all. It was evident that fromithe orchestra to the “gods” all felt well repaid for their atten dance last evening. Shakespearian plays are in a class entirely by them selves. There is nothing in modern or ancient production that reaches their level and the theatrical manage ment which is able to present several of these productions during the sea son deserves the highest commen dation for its act, and besides, that will do much to destroy the impres sions left by some of the inferior companies which are constantly forc ing their impositions upon the pub lic.” Tubllc Sal«H Yesterday.
