Churches in Chestertown, Pa , Held Appopriate Services in Honor of Rev Henry Gilland. A union service of the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations was held in the Presbyterian church, Sunday morning, in memory of the late Rev Heny Gilland. The church was well filled with those who had known Mr Gilland during his years of residence in Chestertown, and who paid this tribute of respect to his memory. The pastor of the church spoke from Hebrews, xi, 4, "He being dead, yet speaketh." Among other things he said: "The materials for a complete life sketch of our brother who has departed to be with Christ are not in my possession. Nor would he desire that at this t'me and in this house we , pronounce any eulogy. Rather let me pnt into words some of the thoughts that hare been in our minds during the past few days. For oue thing we hare been taught lessoQsin patience. Patience in the sense of resignation to God's will, awaiting events with calmness and without diseoutent; patience in the moie active sente of the bearing up nnder burdens, suffering of body and distress of mind; patience was without mariner or complaint?has been exemplified in our midst. We have had practical, living comment ou the words of the apostle Paul 'Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesns Christ.' May the example of our captain, and of our fellow soldier be before us for inspiration and encouragement. We have had an example, too, of the conscientious and faithful performance of seme of the outward duties of religeou. As often as health and strength permitted, this one whom we respected found his delirhts in the house of the Lord, and the worship of God there. In these times when we are inclined to make the performance of these dutiesa matter of disposition or convenience, we cannot do better than to ask ourselves w hether after all this is the way to develop well-rounded Christian character. Will it not be better to substitute for inclination and feeling duty and its conscientious performance? And can we not say with greatei confidence that a life of gentleness and qniet still has its influence in s community? Cannot the bed of sickness become a source of great power! Who can tell how great is.the influ enoe that radiates from the bed of patient suffering through a commu uity? It is still possible in our daj to represent a Christian by a lighl with its clear and steady flame, showing the great light of the world to men.

The secret of I his life was in its personal relationship to Jesus. Jesas Christ was to him both Saviour aud Lord. His faith was therefore a rebuke to those who magnify Christ as an example, but do not accept Him as a ledeemer P ^ ! !

Having chains stricken from onr limbs, we are ready to be ; told how to walk. We sometimes i dwell upon the insignificance of huj man life, its brevity, its small achievements, the haste with which 'men forget it when ended. But therp is another side. Of Abel it was said: 'He being dead yet speakI eth.' In future years we may be far j scattered, over the earth, but aa often I j as we think of the life of him in j whose memory we are met today, we will be directed to Christ, whose he was, an whom he served. And may we in days to come so live that when we depart to be with Christ, i _ i: .i; , men may aiso oy our uvea uc uij rected to him."

Lake City, October 27:?We are reliably informed that the Florence ; Times of one day last week contain! ed the statement that failures were ! expected in Lake City and in Timjmonsville. We do not know any! thing about the condition of the business houses of Timraonsville but we do know something of Lake City's merchants?in fact we are satisfied that we are better posted as to the business of this town than the Florence Times, and we say most emphat ically that if there is a single genuine { [merchant in Lake City who is even cramped, we know nothing of it. By genuine merchant we mean to exclude one-horse shop keepers who never had any credit and whose failure would hurt only such houses as extend credit upon no financial backing or property basis. And we make the further assertion that no town of this section of equal size and volume of business can show fewer failures 1 during the last 6ix years than this one. It seems to us that the time is at hand when the Times should be less reckless in making such statements. W. L. B. Wanted?Persimmon, Dogwood, Hickory, and Holly logs. Freight paid on car-loads.

I consulted a uumber of physicians and tried all sorts of medicine?, but got no relief. Then I begun the use of Electric Bitters and feel that I am now cured of a disease that had me in its grasp for twelve years."

No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at the great popularity of Chamber. laiu's Cough Remedy. It not only | cures coitls ana grip enecimmy unu ' permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no) opium or other harmful j substauce and may be given as coni fidentlv to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When alt of these facts are taken into cousid-' eratiou it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

Mr C G Carsten speut last WedJ uesday in Kiugstree. Miss Ethel Nesmith has returned to her home at Dock after spending i some time with relatives in town. Mr W E Nesmith visited Charleston on business a few days ago. Oar merchants had a very good trade Saturday albeit the day was so inclement. I | Mrs T E James of Cox is visiting1 relatives near town. Mr W E McKnight of Peniel ; Florence county, spent Saturday i with relatives and fiiends in this vicinity. He came down to attend the reunion of Co K, 6th S. C. Regt, veterans in Kingstree.' Mr "Walter Sauls, who for the past ten months has been working on the railroad here, has been transferred to Charleston. Owing to the fact that cotton is becoming less plentiful the local ginneries will be run on special days commencing w ith this week. That nothing from Cades has appeared in The Recohd for the past two issues is due to the fact that this correspondent has been sick during that period. Mr L Nesmith of DoOk has accepted a position as clerk with the firm of Nesmith Bros. Mr Nesmith is a very clever and popular young man and we are glad to have him with us. Master Mack Woodrow of Lucile is visiting relatives in this community. Work on Mr John Epps' two story dwelling has been resumed. John is still in the realms of single-blessedness, bnt he is hopeful of gettiug better half later on. He claims that he has not jet made a serious attempt at matrimony? but wait till he starts. Mr H Foifworth of White Oak has opened up a stock of general merchandise in his new store, which is situated on Main street in town. We wish him abundant prosperity in his new line of business. Mrs Coleman of Florence spent Sundav of last week with her brother Capt. A J Smith, who is very ill at; i his home near Kinsstree. - o Mr M D Nesmith left on the 18th inst. for Atlanta, G a., to continue his studies in dentistry. Mr Nesmiah made fine progress during his first term and he expects to complete his course this session. Mr John Coleman of Florence : came here last Wednesday, being 1 called to tne bedside of uncle, Capt. ! Smith. | Mr T S Smith of this community (left on Monday of last week for i Charleston to take a position with the "Atlantic Coast Line railroad. ; We wish him much success in his j new employment. | I understand that a certain young business man from the Beulah sect [ion contemplated opening a mercanj tile business here, but I learn that j a few days ago he "backed out." j Without presuming to question the. wisdom of this course of action I cannot see why he should have reconsidered his determination in this matter, for nearly every merchant here started with a small capital and I they all seem to have been very sucj cessful. It is safe to say that if any > one wishes to pursue a business of ! this kind it would be difficult to find | [ j a better location than right here ai Cades. The following are those who con template visiting the State Fair, s< far as the writer is informed: Capt j Henry Sauls, Messrs J N Sanls, C Yi Cade and Zeke Sauls. I . ?
