The New Pastor.
[The Ocala (Fla.) Banner]
Rev. Jno. G. Law, of Darling
ton, 8. C., with his family, ar
rived in Ocala last Friday, and
the new pastor of the Presbyte
rian church preached his intro
ductory sermon Sunday morn
ing to a good sized congregation.
He-selected his text from John,
the 4th chapter and 34th verse.
It was a highly spiritual sermon
and the application was direct
and pointed, namely, to do the
Master’s will with apostolic zeal
and devotion. Law
spoke without notes. His ideas
were clear and his command of
languge good, his -diction that
of the people, plain and simple,
yet forceful and impressive', His
delivery is earnest, tho-forcs of
wtochTff-somewhftt impaird by
what sounded as Rttgtrt throat
troubles. Mr. Law’s audience
was pleased with his sermon.
He is a man about 55 years of
age, rather tall, of medium
mould, with a pleasant face, a
mild blue eye, which when he
speaks lights up with pleasant
effect, but in repose has a sedate
and thoughtful expression. The
new castor comes with the
highest recomendations as a
man and a Christian. Htr
throws his whote soul into his
ministerial labors; is possessed
with a deep sense of his spiritu
al work and has a.most solicitous
and watchful care over every
member of his flock. The Ban
ner extends a cordial welcome
to Rev. Jno. G. Law and his
family, consisting of a son, a
daughter and a Miss Taylor,and
trusts his pastorate in Ocala will
be profitable and pleasant in ev
ery sense of the word. They will
occupy Dr—ft C. Hood’s resi-

a professor in the Theological
Seminary at Columbia, will
preach at the Presbyterian
Tlhurch on Sunday morning
next, the services beginning at
11.30 o’clock. Rev. F. M. Sat-
terwhite will preach at the
Baptist Church. The only ser
vice at the Episcopal Chuch will
be conducted by the Rev. R. W.
arnwell, at 8 p. m. The Rev.

iety Hill both morning and
evening.

was drowned.
About a dozen Darlingtonians
were it Florence Saturday night
to see “The Silver King.” They
were well repaid for their trou
ble, for the play itself and the
manner in which it was render
ed were both superb.
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Carter lost
on Saturday their little boy, who
was just three years old. He
was buried at Swift Creek
Church on Sunday. The parents
have the sympathy of all in
their bereavement.
There was another large to
bacco sale at the Warehouse on
the 11th. Twelve planters from
Clarendon County were in with
their crops. The prices were
good and the strangers seemed
pleased with their visit.
It is said that Columbia, Flor
ence and Darlington have all
three been removed from the
“black list” on which they were
placed by Gov. Tillman, and
that they will hereafter receive
their share of the dispensary
profit^, —

The rendition of the comedy
“Jane” at the Opera House last
week was simply delightful
The troupe is a good one all
around, decidedly the best that
has ever appeared here. The
acting of “Jane” was “im
mense”; the large audience pre
sent were convulsed with laugh
ter from the beginning of the
play to its end.

Frank Spain's Company.
The Sadia Whiteford Compa
ny, with which Mr. Frank
Spain is connected, will be here
two nights next week, Oct. 24th
and 25th. The house would
doubtless be crowded on both
occasions if the people of Dar
lington were influenced only by
a desire to see their popular
young fellow-townsman, Mr.
Spain, in his new role. But the
troupe itself is said to be an un
usually fine one. On the 24th
“Ingomar” will be played and
“Pygmalion and Galatea” on
the 25th. Mr. A. B. Williams,
of the Greenville News, (in
which city ihe troupe appeared
a few days ago), says of Miss
Sadia Whiteford, the “star:”
She has talent and brains and
taste and the mysterious thing
we call power—the ability to
put herself in intellectual com
munication with people aud to
make them understand and feel
her thoughts and emotions, She
has all the natural advantages
of beauty and voice. She needs
some ripening and training, and
is obviously a worker and in
Parthenia has fewer crudities
than Mary Anderson had at her
9ge. There is every reason to
believe that the place on the
American stage left vacant by
the retirement of Miss Anderson
is to be filled by Sadia White
ford.
