Their Good Work Continues in Thia City. The Lord Is still pouring out His Spirit in the meetings conducted by the Christian Crusaders, in the court house, and most blessed results are beln" accomnlished In the salvation of precious souls. It Is very evident that tihe interest is increasing and broadening and that deep, pungent conviction is resting upon many. Up to the present time, in sixty-one days, seventy-four public, and nearly twice as many private meetings, have been conducted, home missionary work has been done in 526 homes, 105 per sons have sought the Lord in the par doning of their sins, ninety-three of whom have professed to have found Him. These young converts must not be left to themselves after this series of meeting closes, but must be tenderly ami lovingly looked after, as young and tender plants, by those who are more mature in Christian experience, and thus be keot in such a position be fore God that the good seed sown in their hearts can not be choaked. but can spring un and bring forth much fruit to the honor and glory of God. That real soul-saving work is being done, cannot be denied by even the most skeptically minded individual, and, to the close observer, the golden nuggets and precious pearls are plain ly visible. What does it mean when those who are skepticaly inclined, no longer doubt the power of Christianity or the effects produced by the same, but exert their influence to get those with whom they come in contact to yield to the claims of God; when in veterate drunkards, tobacco users, and novel-readers no longer take delight in these practices and indulgences, but find supreme satisfaction in Jesus. It is not by might, nor yet by power of man’s intellect that practical results are brought about, but by God’s Spirit. During the past week the attendance on the different services has not been large, owing to the inclemency of the weather, but it is worthy of note that somf. of the brightest conversions ex perienced up to this time, hav« been recorded. One nerson of intelligence and rank and high social position in the community, who was quite skepti cal and was tempted to think that there are no real Christians, was fi nally brought under deep conviction. He was led by the Spirit of God to see himself as he really was in the light of Eternity. A fearful struggle follow ed this revelation, which lasted for a number of weeks, and became more and more severe as the definite decis ion for Christ was procrastinated. So miserable was his condition a few days before the work of regeneration was wrought in his heart, and so strong was the temptation not to submit to God’s will, that, upon seeing a pistol close at hand, the thought was sug gested, “Why not bring an end to all this?” The pistol was grasped, but before the hand performed the act which would have hastened the un happy soul into Eternity, God’s Spirit opened up a way of escape from this terrible temptation, and it was not long after this occurrence before the Individual found rest and peace at Jesus’ feet. God is now making him a real soul winner. On Sunday night the after meeting was a very powerful one. Seven ear nest seekers came to the alter and five of the number were blessedlv saved. One of them, a young man, after hav ing experienced the New Birth, called one of the workers to him and deliver ed un several novels which he had in his pocket, saying, as he did so, that the Lord had shown him to give up reading such literature. Would that other young people might follow his example! The meeting of Monday night was one of interest and power. Many hearts were deeply moved and stirred, and one young lady was sufficiently concerned about the salvation of her soul to come to the alter, where she received from God what she had never before experienced. She was, like many others, a church member, but without the knowledge that she was born of God. On Tuesday nigh* General Light talked from the third chanter of Col., and gave the young converts some helpful suggestons about laying aside everything which would in the least degree hinder their spiritual progress. Let us pray and expect great) things from God during the coming weeks. Are We Indians? (Yorkville New Era.) “Cherokee people wear shoes.

RAVENNA NEWS. Personals and Locals—Thinks Ledger Contest a Good One. Ravenna, Feb. 1.—Miss Ethel Wal ker, our popular teacher, returned home last Friday evening to spend a few days with her relatives in Jones- villo and Union. Mr. M. W. Brown went to Carlisle last Wednesday night to attend the marriage of his friend, Mr. George Wood. * Messrs. R. E. L. and L. D. Goforth were visitors in Gaffney last Wednes day. Messrs. Burgess and Green made a return trip to Gaffnev last Monday morning. Mr. R. R. Brown, a salesman with M. W. Brown & Co., says a rabbit was all around his well numo the night of ihe freeze. He thinks the rabbit was trying to pump water. Mr. Jessie Pinson, our R. F. D. rider on route 4 from Gaffney, was cut off from here last Friday on account of the freeze and sleet, but R. F. D. car rier on route 1 from Pacolet rolled in on time. On the next day Mr. Frank Litteljohn. our rider on route 1 from Pacolet, failed to reach us while Mr. Pinson, on route 4, came in twenty minutes ahead of schedule time with the dear old Ledger. Mr. G. F. Spake, whom we have men tioned in several letters, is not well enough as yet to be among his friends again. Mr. B. B. Fowler is slowly recover ing from his recent accident, an ac count of which has already been print ed in The Ledger. Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Bonner, of Gouch- er, spent last Sunday with their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Littlejohn. Misses Eva Burgess and Lona Green, two of our popular young ladies, spent last Sunday night with friends at Pa colet Mills. Mr. F. K. Goforth, of Pacolet Mills, spent last Sunday with relatives here and was numbered among his friends at our Sunday school in the afternoon. Mrs. C. E. Burgess has just returned home after spending a few days with relatives and friends in Gaffnev. Mr. Gaston Littlejohn, of White Plains, one of Cherokee’s poets, spent a few days here last week with his brother, Mr. Felix Littlejohn. There was a drummer here last Mon- d?" (whose name we did not learn), whose heighth was seven feet four and one- half inches. He was above the average heighth. The people of this section are con stantly reminded of the sleet and ice by it slipping off the houses and mak ing a frightful noise. Mr. Will Seay, of Clifton, spent last Sunday here with his best girl. I think the inaugurating of the con test in Tuesday’s issue of The Ledger a good one, and I hope some one from our section will try for the prize. Boys and girls get your dictionaries and make the winner study to win the one dollar which Mr. DeCamp will pre sent to the successful one. Since our last letter there has not been much rest for the rabbits and birds, as our sportsmen have been “killing a few." as some of them tell it. ’ C. Homicide at Walterboro. H. A. Francis, on Saturday night at his meat market in Walterboro, struck Luciou Crosby in the head with a niece of iron. It seems that they were drinking and quarreling over some beef. Crosby was carried to Klein’s drug store, where his wound was dressed. He then went about the streets and did some trading and walked to his home, about a mile from town. He afterwards became uncon scious and died Monday afternoon. Francis surrendered to the sheriff Monday night. The inquest was held Monday. Both parties are young white men and have families. Francis says he ached in self defense, though s no weapons were found on Crosby.; The defendant has employed counsel and will perhaps apply for bail. ^ | B. Mathis Cauoht. Sheriff R. F. McCaslan of Green wood county received a telegram Mon day from B. F. Sample, sheriff of Sa-, luda county, stating that he was hold-] inrr B. Mathis, for whom the governor offered a reward not long ago. It will be remembered that Mathis was the negro who attempted to rape a firl of his own race last Chrisbmas. eve, the affn.ir causing some little ex citement in the section where it was done. The negro fled and his where abouts were unknown until last Satur day night he was sighted near the Sa luda county line by several men of that section. He was captured bv Mr. Walton and carried to the Saluda jail and was taken taken to Greenwood Tuesday. He did not offer any re- sistence when captured. The reward WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [Address communlcBtic’is for this col umn to P. O D x 304.1 A loose sleeveless wrap is one of the most) useful garments a woman can have. Just now there is a decided vogue for large bead necklaces, worn in single strings, some that fit the neck closely, others that hang in a graceful festoon, and are bust length. The box-pleated skirts, and even the wide side-pleated ones, sometimes have as many gores as there are pleats. Thig gives the svelte top and pretty swing that are so desirable with the pleats, keeping a perfect line with the thread of the goods. A useful out-door garment for girls ranging from four to sixteen, is a double-breasted cape in military style. The neck may bo finished with a stand ing band or a turn-down collar, while the pointed hood is both decorative and practical. Tucks or gabbers render the plain shirtwaist more becoming to youthful figures. • • • Mrs. Umerholtz, who hfis been visit ing her daughter. Mrs. June Carr, has returned to her home in Libertv N. Y.
