Lake City, May 30:?Mr W D Ratchford of Sharon, a young man who is preparing for the ministry and is now taking a course in theol_ ogy at the Presbyterian Seminary, 9k Columbia, preached at the Presbyterian church last Sunday. He has been called to serve this church durjflf ing vacation. It is more than prob r&ble that he will accept, if Indiantown will write for half his time. Mrs Maria Sutcliffe is in Charleston this week. Mr Otto Graham and his sister, Miss Lottie, are at home for the vacation days. The former is a teacher in the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute and the latter a student in the same school. Dr A H Williams was in Charleston the early part of the week on business. I The dwelling house on the farm ^ of MrvW T Askins.about half a mile from town, was burned Saturday afternoon. The house was occupied by Mr M P Brown and family, and they lost everything the house contained except a little bedding and the organ. The loss of the house falls on Mr Askins. Nothing was insured. The ^ crop near near the house was also destroyed. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a defect in one of the chimneys. An examination after the fire revealed a large |H " hole in the funnel at a joist. The Hp sorry mason who built the chimney rested one end of a layer of brick f on this joist. When the chimney '? settled, a hole right under that layer resulted, and when some trash * was burned in the chimney Saturday that hole got in its work, destroyed ^ several hundred dollars worth of t I MEN'S CU J 1 ALVIN Bl il Also suits t< I all sizes and ag< ?i| A very cor '&X UnriHcnma linp i Iiiauuovuiv uiiv ?

Above the bridge ! is a sand bar which extends across the river at its upper part, but on the lower side the bar sheers off abruptly into a deep hole against the western bank. Messrs F E and Arj ris Poston had their boys in wading across the upper part of the bar,and did not know until later that anyone else was in the river. However, Horace Godwin and a son of Mr John Tilton were* in the river, and in some way unexplained got into that hole. The Tilton boy holloed and Mr F E Poston rushed to him and pulled him out, but still did not know anyone else was in the hole. As soon as Tilton could speak he; told Mr Poston that Horace was in 1 the hole too. Mr Poston searched | carefully but Horace had gone down 1 to rise no more. The body was re- j covered late in the afternoon, and j buried Monday afternoon at High Hill church. He was about fifteen years old. That hole has been known by the entire community for years j and years as very dangerous.
