A Young White Boy Make* A Journey Afoot and i* Seriously Injured by the Cold. [Wadeeboro Messenger, Jan. 25.] Early last Friday evening Vance Staton, a youth about 16 years old, left Darlington, S. C., for Wadesboro ’afoot. He tramped continuously all day Friday and Friday night, reach ing this place about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. All this time he had eaten no food nor had he been near a fire. It is about sixty miles from this place to Darlington, and when it is remembered that the mer cury was down nearly to zero all the time, it is remarkable that the young man survived the trip. On reaching this place young Staton stopped with a Mr. Mar tin, at the depot, and on at tempting to warm his feet he discovered that they weie bad ly frozen. About this time his legs began to swell until they were twice their natural size, giving himgreatpain. Dr. Jno. H. Bennett was called in and he gave the sufferer what re lief he could. For some time it was thought quite probable that both of Staton’s feet would have to be amputated, but now it is likely that he will get off with only the loss of his toes. A few bargains left in dry oods and clothing. Edwards Co. M. 1 :,.and Mrs.Albert Akersand the latter’s sister, Miss Lucy H. Pickett, all of Washington, D. C., are spending a short time in Darlington. Mrs. Akers and Miss Picket are the nieces of Gen. Gio E. Pickett, the hero of the famous “Pickett’s charge” at Gettysburg. — ■' " Winburn will open hisgallery for one week at Hartsville, so the people in that vicinity may look out for him.

Theatre goes will remember that the popular actress, ^Miss Josephine Cameron, who had an engagement to visit Darling ton in January, had to postpone it.

On the first night she will ap pear in “Ingomar.” What she will render the following night has not yet been decided. Our people have witnessed Miss Cameron’s acting and they know that no better actress vis its these parts. She will give Darlington two performances well worth seeing. Reserved seats are now on sale at the bookstore for 75 cts. Our readers are not apt to for get that Wilfred Clarke will be here on the 27 inst.

Carlisle the Methodist Pastor Writes of his New Charge. [Southern Christian Advocate. On the 6th of December, 1889, we arrived in Summerville, and on the Cth of December, 1892, we left Summerville for Darling ton A Those three years were spent in the pleasant city in the pines, to which we became strongly attached. The climate there is unsurpassed, probably unequaled, in the State, tjjkjn" the entire yearjeAto**'account. We ha^Aef’etThTfortable home in tjiey'hice parsonage, and we found and left many friends. While ready as always to cheer fully obey the mandate of au thority to “move on,” yet we were sorry to leave at the end of our third year. But it had to be ; so we came away leaving our home and field and friends t > our successors, and praying that success and happiness might be theirs even beyond what we had enjoyed. We were cordially received here. Several brethren were at t le depot to meet us, and sever al sisters met us at the parson age. Everybody was so cordial that we began to feel at home at once. The excellent and comfortable parsonage was rea dy for us. The next night we were pleasantly and liberally “pounded” under the auspices of the Epworth League. The pounding implements were sub* stantials, and the quantity was large. We welcomed and ap preciated the occasion. Having been here over seven weeks, I think I have a fair knowledge of my field of labor although the severe weather has hindered me somewhat. There is much to encourage me. My predecessor did some good work, and impressed himself well up on this church and community If I can only take up the work an carry it on, well! I am praying, studying and working for good results. The Stewards are beginning their work in a sensible and business style, and propose to continue it systemati cally. They do not use the “en velope” system which I consider the very best for every town church. Our Epworth League is to be reorganized for this year's work. I hope to have it a useful auxiliary in all good works. I am sorry now that I did not organize one at Sumer- ville. I might write more, but prefer to leave space for others. J. E. Carlisle.

The farmers say now that the recent cold did not kill the oats as they at first thought was the case. Last week, as the weather, was very fine, the farmers got in a good week's work. They have been busy hauling fertili zers for the last ten days. A great many people are find ing it hard to make arrange ments for getting their^supphes for this year and are required to give tight papers. Rev. D. C. Mann preached at the Methoaist Church at this place on Sunday morning, but owing to the very cold weather his audience was not large.
