He said that ir 6r& at Wofford, in his deal ~*~5A~itIthe boys, as he looke< lito their f&ces each morning h< shut bipressed with the fact tha IsnTi work, with all its care ai^d worries, there was none great er-the work of teaching thes janmen to'get the best out o "~ 1~in~ves in order to put the bes ~~~146~uniaun society. He igad hear< efei that the Ep,worth' Leagu TdLJeiirs, that Mission Work cami $riit,' but b'e did believe the prepa ration of the younig 'men came sec ond.' The first thing they tried to d< at Wofford was to get men read St6iakN hold 6f the practical, ever; ~dag oditions of life, to enabi sich"to east his vision beyond th -college walls into the great worl 'ithout, and to gain a knowledg 'of 'this' practical life with whic Seiiitt become connected.

If there is progress at Wofford S - College it is an indication of the mar great momentum that has been be- J M - hind Wofford College these forty T r and nine years. In conclusion, he chai BEV. T.

Wofford and Matthew f Boozer had quite an unusual expe rience in the woods on the outskirts 1 of Prosperity. They were out for a morning's walk and when they arrived on the edge of a swampy place at the foot of a hill they observed a man stand ing within a hundred or hundred and fifty yards of them. The man had on a long overcoat reaching al most to his feet, and as soon as he saw the above mentioned gentle men approaching he pulled from under his coat what appeared to be a Winchester rifle or i6 shooter, and stepped behind an obstruction. As -the men attempted to walk to ward him, he motioned to them to go back, at the same time raising his gun in position to fire. The gentlemen leisurely retraced their steps and wetit back to town and nothing further has been heard frcm the stranger. It is up to Judge Hair to now ex plain the manoeuveres of the strange party. The Event of the Amusement Season. Hi Henry's Big City Minstrels, now the largest in the world, after ten years absence will again appear in the Newberry Opera House, on Saturday, Dec. 13, giving two per formances, at a 30 p. m. and 7.30 p. m. in order that every one uill have an opportunity of seeing this famous company. Every one remembers what a sen sation they caused on their former visit and the fine performance that was given. During their absence they have played the leading cities, New York, Philadelphia, Washing ton, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincin nati, St. Louis, and San Crancisco, and have the most glowing enco miums from the leading press. The company this year numbers 48 people and travel in their own special train of vestibule Pullinan cars, and the performance to be given here will be precisely the same as givenL in New York City at their opening of the present season. The first part is an ideal concep tion founded upon historical re searches of the grand eatrance of the palace of the court of Nero. Everybody should see this great minstrel show, as they may never have the opportunity of seeing them again nearer than some large city. Seats are now on sale at the usual place.
