Gaffney, S. C. Held at the First Kaptlst Church Sunday Morning;, Sunday morning the dedication services of the First Baptist church were begun in the church by special music by the choir, which was beauti fully rendered. After which the Rev B. P. Robertson, of the Fulton Me morial church in Baltimore, ad dressed the large audience, his subject being the “The First Church and its past.” Mr. Robertson having been its pastor for years and having dur ing his pastorate built its mag nificent church was well equipped for his duty and acquitted himself most creditably. He was followed by Rev. A. C. Cree, the out-going pastor, on •The First Church and its present,” and he by Rev. A. M. Sims, D. D.. the in-coming pastor, on “The First Church and its future.” These ad dresses was interspersed with music by the choir and a solo by Mrs. George Garrett Byers. Each one of the Rddresses was of a high order and all were much enjoyed by the congregation. At the conclusion of the morning service, Mr. Cree having oaid all the outstanding obligations of the church, exhibited the evidences of them to the congregation and destroyed them in its presence. At the evening service Rev. A C. Cree, the out going pastor, preached his farewell sermon and it was one of the ablest of the many able sermons he has preached in Gaffney. After this sermon Dr. W C. Hamrick, in behalf of the church, delivered a fare well address to Mr. Cree, which was followed by an address of welcome to Dr. Sims, the incoming pastor, by Prof. R O. Sams in behalf of the church. Then R^v. W. R, Potter, of the Limestone Presbyterian church, on the part of the community, de livered a touching address to Mr. Cree on his taking leave of us. Mr. Potter was followed by Rev. J. M. Steadman, of the Buford Street Methodist church, in behalf of the community, in an address of welcome to Dr A. M. Sims, the new pastor of the First Baptist church. The whole proceedings from begin ning to end were full of interest and pathos and will long be remembered by all who witnessed them. Mr. Cree goes to Louisville, Ky., where he has accepted a call to a church, and will carry with him and his good wife, whom everybody in Gaffney loves, many good wishes of our Gaffney people for their future usefulness and happiness. Dr. Sims, the new pastor, comes to us from Hawkinsville, Georgia. He has received a hearty greeting from bis congregation and our people gen erally, who congratulate themselves on securing his services. An Ideal Day. Last Thursday was an ideal day in Gaffney.

VVbMtU Going on In the Theaplan World at the Ktar Thea ,re. ‘•Mildred and Rouolere” were the attraction at the Star Theatre last Thursday tight, and proved to be one of the best vaudeville troupes on the road. The slight of hand work of Rouclere has never been equalled in this city. The disappearing and mind reading feats of Mildred were as excellent as they were startling, while the acrobatic work of the Japa nese troupe was little short of mar velous. In fact there was not a number that was not high-class. ‘‘The Merchant of Venice,” which was scheduled for last night, failed to appear owing to poor railroad con nections. Manager Knox put on the thrilling border drama, ‘‘Poverty Flats,” with bis own company, which did fairly well, although handicapped by the absence of several of the lead ing actors. la Beauty Only Shin Deep?
