There is no office in the twenty miles lying be tween the two towns and the new office will greatly facilitate the hand ling of trains. Richley Mitcham, a young white man, was arrested at the cotton mills at Lancaster Saturday and lodged in jail on a telegram from Sheriff Gam ble, of Clarendon. It seems that there is a sealed sentence in that county against Mitcham for assault and battery with intent to kill. ^ Mr. D. A. Minor, wha established the Minor department store in Sum ter several years ago, and who was until recently one of the largest stock holders in that firm, suddenly left that city last week, owing a large number of debts. The Minor stores have recently had financial troubles and are now in the hands of a re ceiver. News has been received at Ruck Hill of the serious injury of John Kirby, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kirby of Newport. The little fellow was attempting to cut a garter on his leg when the knife slip ped, penetrating squarely into the ball of the eye. He has suffered no pain from the injury but has lost the sight of the eye. -Sheriff F. H. Creech left Barnwell Saturday morning for Augusta, Ga., where he met his constable with John Daniels, the negro arrested in Black- ville Friday and whom he sent via Savannah, Ga.

Mrs. Sallie Ogilvie, widow of the late Dr. John W. Ogilvie, died very suddenly at her home at Allendale, on Friday night about 9 o’clock.

The Indian found dead in a public road in Lancaster county Friday prov ed to bo Tom Stevens, the oldest In dian at the reservation in York coun ty. Chief Harris and others, who went over after the body, say that the old man was 110 years old. His mission in the county was to collect a debt owing him. It is thought that he was overcome with fatigue, and sinking down in the road, was unable to rise again. The ground where he lay shows that he struggled hard to get up. The doctor, who examined the body for the coroner, was of the opinion that the old man, after his futile efforts to rise, fell asleep, and then froze to death while in that condition.

Liston were passed at a recent congregational meeting of the mem bers of the Presbyterian church in Selma, Ala.: To the session of Pres, church, Gaffney. Dear Brethren:—The enclosed would have been sent you sometime ago, but for the illness of the writer. Very truly, H. F. Montgomery. At a congregational meeting held November* 5th, 1905, the following resolutions were unanimously adopt ed: Whereas our beloved pastor. Rev. R. T. Liston, has received a call to a larger field, and whereas, our church is small in membership and unable to offer a salary adequate to the support o. nio family, and the proper educa tion of his children, and Whereas, Bro. Liston and his ex cellent wife have greatly endeared themselves to every member of this church, and are highly esteemed by all the people of this community. Be it therefore resolved 1st. That we, the members of this church assembled in church meeting, with deep sorrow, have agreed to the request of Bro. Liston that his pas toral relations with this church be dissolved. 2nd. That we, one and all, appre ciate the leaving, ability. Christian zeal and true purity of Bro. Liston and the good work he has accomplish ed among us during a pastorate of ten years. n, 3rd. • That, we heartily commend him to his new field, as a pastor unex celled. as a true friend, an able and devoted minister of the gospel, and as a man in whom there is no guile. 4th. That a copy of these • resolu tions be furnished Bro. Liston as a testimonial of pur love and, a copy be sent to session of the Gaffney Pres byterian church, a copy he furnished for publication in our denominational papers, and also he spread in the minutes of the church. H. F. Montgomery, Chm. Jno. B. Nisbit, Clerk. Dear brethren of the Gaffney Pres byterian church. I send you copy of the resolutions of our church on the departure of Bro. Liston, and in all brotherly love. I desire to inform you that we are only making a loan of Bro. Liston to you. We expect to have him back. W^ only consented to his going be cause we were not financially able to extend the support necessary to re lieve hinvof worldly care. Respectfully, H. F. Montgomery, Elder.

The bad weather has. put a stop to all out-door work and your corres pondent is housed up with a bad cold. Mr. Tom Sanders, we are sorry to learn, is lying very low with typhoid fever, also Mr. Joe Hughes is in a very low state of health. Mr. Elias (Ball) Horn is also complaining very much. He is unable to work at this i time. Several persons have changed| homes and farms for next year. Several fine porkers are found on our travels.

One of these, a man fifty-six years old, pro fessed to he converted. This season of refreshing is believ ed. by most of the good people of the town, to be in God’s order. The suc cess which will attend these services will depend, to a great extent, upon the interest and prayerful co-operation of the Christians of all denominations, of the town. God forbid that the at titude of any should hinder the work ings of the Spirit, and thus keep pre cious souls out of the kingdom, but. rather, let us “pray without ceasing,” that the desired results may be brought about in the weeks to come.

For weeks, probably, these studious (?) ones have devoted themselves to their books in anticipation of enterlmr into the full enjoyment of these holidays. The schools' will not re-open until af ter the “glad new year,” when the pupils should return to their books and search for knowledge with an ad ded zest and zeal. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give their bazaar this afternoon from four to nine-thirty o’clock. The bazaar had been advertised as being held some time ago, but was prevent ed by inclemency of the weather.

Jennings preached from Job 14:1 l.on the theme, "If a man die, shall he live again?” He gave a practical ex position of the subject, and proved from Scripture that the immortal soul of man, after leaving his earthly tene ment of clay, will be privileged to live In the bliss of a glorified heaven, or must be compelled to spend eternity in the darkness of an eter nal hell. He made an earnest appeal to the unsaved to get right with God, live for Him in this life and thus be prepared to live and reign with Him through all eternity. Deep conviction rested upon many in the audience, and some manifested an interest in their soul’s salvation by uplifted hand. Dr. Simms was present in the meeting on Monday night, and made some weighty remarks to the people, which were carried by the Spirit to the hearts of the hearers. God was present in convicting and converting power in the meeting on Tuesday night.
