The printing of briefs and arguments for the use of lawyers in the Supreme Court will receive special attention. 'We hope, by means of tile increasedl facilities thus afforded, to command all tile job) prinlting of thle town and county. There can surely .be no ex cuse for sendinig ofi' for such work, when it can be done just as well and cheaply at home. All .we ask is a fair trial. If., after that, we cannot claim sup)erior'ity, or at least absolute equali ty, to any others, then we'll give up, and gladly Iot tile trade go elsewhere. THlE TnoRNE5 ComImY COMPANY. Thle 'performance of this troupe is de cidedly superior to that of anost of the1 * travelinig companlies tha t visit towns of the size of Winnsboro. Miss Bonnie Meyer is an actress of far more than. * ordinary merit, acting all her parts - 'iell, and completely losing hlerself in the different characters she assumes. Hieri'endition of Lady Audley, in the play of "Lady Audley's Secret.,"is one that would do credit to many stage people of much greater pr'etenlsionIs, and in her comic andl sentimental parts .she is decidedly good. Mr. Thorne is also a fine actor,, his specialty being -comic characters. In these he always -excites a hearty Laugh, and makes Is . audience want to see and hear him again.. The suIpport by the 'rest of tile troupe Is about as good as is seen in anly suceh compaiIes. Altogether the enltertainments given by the Thlorne Comedy Company are wvell worth goinlg to, and should be encouraged. MR. T ODa'S RESBIGN.:TION. Action of His Congregation--Preamble and Resolutions Adopted at the Re cent Church Meeting. [RIPORTED Fon Tfua NKwU AxD HanATo~.J A meeting of the members of Bethel Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church of Winneboro, S. C., was hleld on Thursday evening, March 20, 1879, for the purpose of affording Rev. J. M. ,.Todd, tihe pastor, an opportunity of stating tile reasons that inmpelled him to request a dissolution of the relation ship existing between them as pastor and people, and of asking them to con our with him in petitioning Presby tory to thlat effect. After a short prayer for the Divine . blessing and guidance, Mr. Todd in a very earnest, feeling and impressive -manner stated that lhe had not hastify and inconsiderately resolved upon this * step, but thathe had determined upon * it after serious5 and prayerfhi delibera tion. For several tidinthysa.he hadt bi* gthe condWton of ise health to bo such that he could not, II justice to them or to himself, continue longer to labor among themt, and therefore felt it to be his duty to resign this his pas toral charge. 'T'his, and this alone, prompted him to his present course of action. His intercourse with them, both as pastor and as a ffiend, had over been of the most pleasant nature, and he had always received uni form kindness, respect and on. couragement at their hands-for all which he felt and ever would feel the most sincere gratitude. Mr. Todd then retired, and, on mo tion,rMr. George H. MeMaster was called to the chair and Mr. J. E. Mc Donald was requested to act as score tary. After a free and open inter change of views upon the matter un der coinsideration, on ineL .. of Mr. James A.- Brice it was r< 5o "ed that this congregation, in assei 'ug to the wish of Rev. J. M. Todd to sever their connection with him as pastor, reluc tantly agree to unite with hii in ask ing Presbytery to dissolve the pastoral relationship, solely for the reasons stated by him In his address. It was moved by Mr. II. L. Elliott, and adopted, that the chairman appoint a committee of three to draft suitable resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the congregation towards the Rev. J. M. Todd. The chairman appoiuted as such committee, Messrs. H. L. Elliott, James A. Brice and I. M. Huey. On motion, Mr. H. L. Elliott was appointed to notify Mr. Todd of the action of the congregation. It was resolved that a copy of these proceedings be sent to the Associate jleformed Presbyterian and the Winnsboro NEws AND HERALD, with a request for publication. On motion, the meeting then ad. journed. G. I. MCMASTER, J. E. MCDONALD, Chairman. Secretary. The following are the preamble and resolutions prepared by the committee Appointed for the purpose: Whereas, Rev. J. M. Todd, our be loved pastor, on account of the feeble state of his health, has signified his in tention to petition Presbytery to dis solve his relationship with us as pas tor, and has requested us to unite with him in such petition; and Whereas, It is fit and proper that we, the people of his charge, should nmke some suitable recognition of his fiaithful services among us, therefore bs it resolved: 1. That we, the members of Bethel As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Church, have with unfeigned sorrow and regret united with our pastor in asking a dis solution of our relationship as pastor and people, believing that rest from pastoral duties is necessary for his res toration to health. 2. That we sincerely acknowledge our many obligations to hin as our pastor, who at all times has preached thme "words of eternal lifv"' untQ u~s with zeal and ability' who as .paator has been punctual an faithful im the discharge of all his pastoral duties; who as a spiritual gfuide and consol lor was safe, orthod ox, and worthy of imitation, and as a minister wae prac tical, God-fearing and devoted to his calhnuc. 3.
