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

ded from all points of view.

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.”
