News reached the city Tuesday of
the demise in Jonesvllle of Miss Sib-

o’clock of that day. Miss Spears was
a sjster of Mr. H. L. Spears, of this
city and was well known here, where
she had visited often.
Workmen are engaged in making

The dining room will be changed to

Mr. Z. A. Robertson inserted an ad
vertisement in last Tuesday’s Ledger
offering the ten-room house of Mr.
R. M. Jolly for sale and before night
he had sold it to Mr. J. V. Whelchel.
The trade was brought about through
The" Ledger, which is saying some
thing for this paper as an advertis
ing medium. Mr. Whelchell will
shortly move to the city.
Dr. .1. B. Hawthorne delighted a
large audience at the Baptist church
last Tuesday night with his lecture
on “Sunshine, air and outdoor living.”
He was both eloquent and logical
and at times struck a humorous cord.
All who heard him were delighted
and those who were prevented from
hearing him missed a treat. Come
again, Dr. Hawthorne; we need to
have you oftener.
The County Commissioners of
Cherokee county met the County
Commissioners of York county at
Howell's ferry last Tuesday to dis
cuss the matter of the erection of a
bridge over Broad river. They could
not agree. The report is that the
York county folks had selected a site
which did not meet the approval of
the Cherokee board. It is to be hoped
that they will eventually be able to
get together and give the people in
that section the bridge.
i
Rev. Daniel W. Richardson, pastor
of the Presbyterian church, occupied
the pulpit of Limestone Presbyterian
church, this city, last Tuesday night.
He was greeted by a good sized con
gregation who were delighted with
the discourse, the subject of which
w’as taken from John 12:32, “I, if I
be lifted up, will draw all men unto
me.” Mr. Richardson possesses a
wonderful flow of language, is a most
ready speaker and clothes his sub
ject with logic. We should be pleas
ed to have him here again.
HON. WM. G. AUSTELL DEAD.
The End Carfie Yesterday Aftern«#n
After Short lllnese.
The news of tue death of Hon.
William Gilkey Austell, which occur-
ed yesterday afternoon about 3:30 at
his home in the Southern section of
the city, created widespread and pro
found sorrow. Tuesday morning Mr.
Austell was in his usual good health.
He came up town and transacted
some business, returning home about
10 o’clock. He was at the barn lot
when suddenly attacked. Dr. Pitt
man was summoned immediately and
at once pronounced the case a des
perate one. He said it was conges
tion of the lungs and heart failure.
Dr. Black, of Spartanburg, was called
to the bedside of the sick man. Dr.
Black confirmed the diagnosis of Dr.
.ttman. Mr. Austell continued to
grow worse from the time of the first
attack and died as above stated.
William Gilkey Austell was born
January 14, 1841. He first saw the
light of day in the house on the Paco
let road now occupied by Mr. Bundy
Hill, one mile from the corporate
limits. Here he was reared to man
hood. This was then in Spartanburg
county. All the years of his long life
were spent in agricultural pursuits.
By thrift and economy he became a
man of moderate circumstances and
at the time of his death owned some
valuable real estate in the suburbs
of the city.
In 1886, while this was Spartanburg
county, he offered for the legislature,
and ran at the head of the ticket.
He had previously served four years
as county commissioner. He served
two terms in the lower house. In
1896 he was again elected to the legis
lature and was In the house when
Cherokee county was formed. He
rendered much valuable service in
the formation of Cherokee. His last
public service was to serve on the
committee appointed to investigate
the books of the officers of Cherokee
county. He prided himself on the
fact that during all his public service
he was never late nor never absent
from a session. He was a plain, out
spoken man, one who knew what was
right and had the courage of his con
viction.
Mr. Austell married Miss Susie
Borders. Three children, all of whom,
together with the widow, survive.
They are Messers. William N., Chas.
H., and M. Lloyd Austell, all of whom
reside in this city. He also leaves
one brother, Mr. Joseph H. Austell,
and one sister, Mrs. Mary Wood, of
Pacolet.
The funeral will take place from
the residence today.

Rev. E. G. Ross started a meeting
at Draytonville church last night
which will continue until Sunday.
Service will l* held nightly and Sat
urday afternoon at 2:30. Sunday
morning at 10 o’clock the ordinance
of Bpatism will be administered, ^fr.
Ross is a good preacher and a hard
worker and success should crown his
efforts.
