William Henry McElveen was born in Sumter, now Clarendon + Smith Carolina, on tvu UIJ , V i. ^ VM?? , the 32th of March 1831, and departed this life, at the home of his daughter, Mrs E F Epps, near Mouzon, on the 13th of December, 1906, at the age of 75 years. On the -6th of August, 1855, he made a profession of his faith in his Savior, Jesus Christ, and was received as a communicant into the Midway church. On the 23 of November, 1856, he was elected ruling eider and on the 4th of January, 1857, he was ordained and installed into that office in Midway church. Bethel church was organized on the 8th of August, 1874, at which time he was " elected and installed an elder of this church, and continued such until his Master called him to the church triumphant in heaven. He was for many years, and until his death, the stated clerk of session. He was very accu rate and correct in keeping these records. He was faithful in discharging his duty as a ruling elder, and was an upright and consistent servant ot the Lord* He is and will be greatly missed in this community, but he has left an influence for good which will be felt foT long years to come. He is survived by five loving sons and two affectionate and devoted daughters, who are joined by a large number of relatives and friends, in mourning the loss we have all sustained by his removal from us. His funeral services were held in this church on the 14th of December,?the very same day and hour of the funeral in Sumter of his pastor's wife. These services were conducted, in the necessary absence of the faslor, by Revs E C Baily, E E Brvin andSPBethea. His re* mains were then laid to rest in the family burial ground, near the beloved wife who some years before had preceded him there to await a glorious resurrection. Be it therefore resolved by the session of Bethel church: That this tribute to the memory of our deceased brother be recorded in our book of Sessionar*Records?and be read by our pastor to our congregation from our pulpit. ) JameS Mcdowell, Committee: > G W Burgess, j R B Smith. ^ * m If you need a nice trunk or suit case see People's Mercantile Co.

At the meeting of school trus-1 tees in the court house last *cMonday there were present some 35 trustees representing j sixteen school districts. It was an enthusiastic body of men ful- ^ ly a'ive to present needs. A E resolution was passed request- ^ ing the State superintendent of; l education to endeavor to have ! P the high school law so amended L as to include in a high school i pupils above the 7th grade, in T stead of the 8th, there being j'^ very few schools in the county j it that can furnish the necessary j , 25 pupils beyond th* Sth grade F to begin the high school. A resolution was also unani-' i mously adopted requesting the g county board of education to y have the countv redistricted " for school purporses, making M each district of suitable size for ; J one school.
