The church people of Darling ton, especially the Methodist, are looking forward with much interest to the next meeting of the South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church, South, which will be held in Darling ton on Wednesday, December 2, and continued in session until Monday, December 7. This will be a great occasion for the town, as fully three hundred persons, representing every part of the State, will be in attend ance and, in order to make the meeting a grand success, the members of the local Methodist Church have already begun to prepare for it. On Sunday last the pastor appointed the follow ing committee on the renova tion of the Church: Messrs J. C. Willcox, J. G. McCall andL. S. Welling and Mrs. J. G. Mc Call and Mrs. L. V. Zimmerman. The committees on providing homes for the delegates and on reception, with possibly others, will be appointed later. Bishop J ; C. Granberry, of Ashland, Virginia, will preside over the deliberations of the Conference. He is one of the best expository preachers in the South and is possessed of magnificent gifts and deep piety. Darlington will be fortunate in having a visit from this learned Bishop. The assembling of so many rep resentative men in the town will afford a rare opportunity for Darlington to make itself known to the outside world and >ve trust that our people will show on this occasion that not only the hospitality, hut the progress of the town, is unbound ed.

At The Opera House. The season at the Darlington Opera House will open towards the end of this month, when the splendid Irish romance, “The Blarney Stone,” will be presented. This will he the first appearance of the play at this place and. in order to gix’e our readers some idea of its worth and also the merit of the company presenting it, we clip from quite a number of testi monials the following from the New Bedford (Mass.) Evening Journal: “The great Irish ro mance, ‘The Blarney Stone,’ is down for the whole week at Liberty Theatre. The company, which is first class in every re spect, is headed by the natural | Irish comedian, Albert Denier, and the winsome soubrette, Ag nes Earle. Miss Earle is lead ing in the Dramatic News con test for the most popular sou brette in the world by 500 votes. This little lady is evidently a popular person among the pro fession, and she certainly is with audiences everywhere. ‘The Blarney Stone’ will be well worth seeing.”—also thefollow- ing from the Harlem City (N. Y.) Life: “The Harlem Theatre varied its bill as usual this week, and in the‘Blarney Stone’ offered one, the opposite in many respects from any pro gramme of the season, and one of the best presented thus far. The special features were good, and exceptionally well done and received. Miss Earle was ac corded an almost enthusiastic reception, the audiences fairly warming up to her and Mr. 1 Denier, whose name, inafamily sense, is an old one to the stage, received a hearty welcome. The play is interesting, and was capitally put on and mounted.” •«»- —• Fresh Mackerel in kits at Ed wards, Norment & Co’s. —Mr. to prepare the for the market. HIGH HILL. G. M.

Airy North Car olina, in the Norfolk Landmark, under date of September 1: “A civil engineer on the North Car olina extension of the Norfolk and Western railroad from Iron Ridge, Va., stated here to-day that a cablegram had been re ceived from President Kimball saying that he had procured a loan of seven mdlion dollars of English money, which would allow them to push to comple tion the North Carolina exten sion which has been surveyed to the State line, where it was to connect with the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley. The grad ing of the road has been let to contract in sections of four miles. It is also stated on good authority that the Norfolk and Western has purchased that part of the Cape Fear and Yad kin Valley between the State line and Mount Airy in order to make this city the junction of the two roads.” The above item is of great in terest in consideration of its bearings on the town of Dar lington. The completion of the North Carolina extension of the Norfolk and Western Railroad to Mt. Airy will give Darlington a route to the great West, very much shorter than any that exists now. To reach that famous section of the country by the present arrangement, the route lies by Asheville far to the west of, or by Lynchburg far to the east of, a direct line.
