h v* ^ ** J ' Wildman Is Still Missing. * *>; *' ________________ t - The Charlotte Observer tells the following good story of a recent occurence in North Carolina : "Mr. Jonathan Edwards, of 0*. Asheville, is a very successful business man and an enthusiastic sportman. He lately bought for himself a new gun, and while impatiently waiting for the season to open he would get out his new gun, handle it with affection and discourse 011 its merits and beauty until bis wife and especially his fair daughter, Mary, became weary of even the subject of guns. And yet after discovering that his gun was not as interesting to others as to himself, lie needed only an intimation to make him bring it out for exhibition with pleasure. Mis9 Mary Edwards had a beau and she rather liked liim, but held him somewhat at arms' length?on probation, as it were. Miss Mary had a loving heart, a sparkling eye and a keen sense of humor. Her beau, Mr. Richard Wildman, called to see her and they chatted pleasantly in the parlor while Mr. and Mrs. Edwards made themselves comfortable in the sitting room across the hall. i'T'm (fAimr f a Licw x-nil uni/1 I X ... .v. ...^O .-??l Mr. Wildman to Miss Mary. "If you dare," said the young lady, "I'll certainly make you regret it." "Hut I really am going to," said Mr. Wildman. "If you do I'll go toll papa," said Miss Mary, with a twinkling in her eye and without the slightest attempt to get out of the way. Taking her nonchalance for a woman's consent, he grabbed and kissed her. She promptly whacked him on the cheek with her hand, and then leaving the room and walking across the hall, said to her father, with the sweetest - i* _ _ _ A . / T % T 1 oi sweei smiies: "i apa, i nave been telling Mr. Wildman about your new gun and he asks if you won't show it to him." "Certainly, with greatest pleasure," said Mr. Edwards, delighted to have some one take an interest in his new pet. Picking up the gun he walked with expectant pleasure into the parlor. Mr. Wildman was waiting somewhat doubting the girl's purpose. When the man with the gun came in the door Mr. Wildman's doubts, accompanied by Mr. Wildman himself, went out the window without even taking the precaution to raise thesash. Mr. Edwards looked around at his daughter dumb-founded. She , , laughed till she could no longer stand. Holding her heart in her hands, she said: "Father, you must be careful how you go at people with that gun. lb-ally, if I didn't know you well, 1 should have been sure several times you meant to shoot me with it. You must be more careful. How am I ever to get married if you run my beaux off like that ? Take the horrid old That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Fills.

The action of the late synod i arranging for the celebration o the centennial of our synod i] 1003 will bring prominentl, before our people "The Ol 1 Brie Church," where our synod wa organized May 0, 1803. The proper name of thechurc is Ebenezer, but it is gcnerall known by the Brick Church. It is a brick building, as it name implies, and is situated 1 miles west of Winnsboro, in Fail [ field county, S. C. It is on an eminence surroun ded by a beautiful grove of hick ory and oak trees, a few hue dred yards from Ivincaid's bridg i : * 41 - i?: u\?'i .nunc ivivfr. It is indeed a beautiful an historic spot. The building is i a good state of preservation an service is liehl there every tw weeks. For many years bel'oi the civil war it was one of tli most active and intluenti; churches in the synod. Its pa tors have been Rev. .las. Roger Rev. James Royce, I). I)., an Rev. C. I>. Rotts. The ravag< of the war anions its people le it almost disorganized, and in few years it disappeared from tli roll o! our churches. A hoot tli year 1801 Key. A. (1. Kirkpntric and his people of New Il<?j began lo cultivate the Held, an the result was that it was orgat ized the second time August 21 1803, with 21 members. Sine that time it has grown stendih and is a power for good in tl community. For some years Re' A. G. Kirkpatrick has been it paMor in connection with I'ro perily, S. C., giving hall his tin to each place. The statistics for the year ju: closed show 15 members, wit elders and deacons, ten meinbei of the Ladies' society, f>5 in tli Sabbath school, paid $200 to pa tor's salary and $2.5 to mission The church and graveyard at surrounded by a massive roc wall, which will last as long ? tin; world lasts. It is built < blocks of granite laid in cemor and is there to stnv. Kov. .Innit Rogers and perhaps otln rs ol ot ! ministers sleep there. This is all prelim i nary, ho we ve to a war episode in connectio with 1 ho old church, which I wis to lay before your readers. Who Sherman':* army passed fhrouj; this country his soldiers tore t'i hte floor and sleepers ol tli church and with this materi: they rebuilt the bridge over Litll river, near by, which the ('01 federates on their retreat had d< "I was nearly dead witii dyapepst | tried, doctors, visited mineral sprinf and grew worse.

WOOD TAKES s CHARGE IN CUBA. 2 *- Change of Governors Gives Satis- Hoi faction to All. ? . ; Habanu, Dec. 21.? Maj (Jen. i- Leonard Wood formally took ?i. _r.i - ? > < > e vnarge ??i uitt governor general s office ?t 9 o'clock this morning. pp (j His first act was to accept ihe *u< resignation of the members of the 'R j members of the advisory cabinet Fll 1 of (veil. Brooke. These officials. np, latter considering the question the e overnight, fiad decided to insist '?, 16 upon retiring. Tlieir decision kin '1' meets with public approval. Al-jtai most without exception they had H sJ rendered themselves particularly mo d abnoxious to a majority of the ,,y ' J Oil Cubans am ft One prominent Cuban general | tjjf ;i! said today: "The only chance Oil ie (ien. Brook's secretaries have, if a's? tliev wish to rehabilitate them coi , % , fvi' ^ selves in the eyes of their coun- jn> trymen, is to resign and thus, for <2* j a time, bring forgotfulness." The same general, discussing 1 1- COI r (ien. Brooke's farewell procla-l ' mation, said : "The proclamation _ I IMf was ill advised, Cuba is bound,!'j'" in the course of time, with food no 1(3 and without war, to arrive Jat a {*! v- state of comparative comfort. NoK'f Is man has a right to regard himself co, s- as the sole cause of such improve- ^ 10 mentfl. As a matter of fact, under {?, (?en. Brooke's administration the Wl sj military authorities frequently RI) i. over rode the civil, and there is *ai I 4S less civil government now than n{, before. As for the courts, they 10 .1 ' . ' of are the same corrupt organiza- nn tions and are virtually unchanged tin ' in any important particular. All t,y this, in my opinion, most Cubans by k will attribute to the bad advice given Gen Brooke by his secre ,, of d taries. t?, it It is believed that no governor vs will be appointed for Santiago Cc irI department, but that an experiment in civil government 011 a (U r much broader scale than ever ben : fore will be initiated there, Gov.
