Rev E P Easterling and Mr Hoyt

The Associated Charities, recently
organized in Lake City, has already
been called upon to fill its mission.
This was indeed a pitiable case?a
poor widowed country woman, with
two little boys and no means of subi
8istence. She was brought to town
and is now under the direct care of
her benefactors until she can obtain
< employment. This organization rills
a long-felt need in Lake City and
Hft?rill be maintained solely by subH^cnptions,
the members contributor^
ing a small sum each month for its
support.

Mrs Epps was unable to see the

Mrs Phillip Arrowsmith and her j
mother are visiting relatives in j
Kingstree.
It seems as though all of our
friends are trying to get married
before 1915 arrives. Never before
in local hymeneal history has there
been such a constant buzz of rumors
of approaching marriages and rumors
of engagements thereof, and
times weren't half so hard last year,
either.
Quite a number of our good country
friends were in town yesterday,
among whom were: Mr J A McAllister,
Mr and Mrs Wm Webster,
Miss Ila Cook, Mr A E Hill and
others.
Mr and Mrs Charles G King have
removed from Walterboro, where

success. All the players did
finely,from the "leading lady", Miss
Mary Dibble, down to the four-yearold
"baby", Clair Cannon, who endeared
herself to the audience. The
proceeds will go to the school improvement
fund.
Sunday morning at the Methodist
church the Olive picture card class
of the Sunday-school received class
pins as a reward for attendance, donated
by a member of the Bible
class. Superintendent^ A Cook explained

totally destroyed last Tuesday night

Death of Mr. Ferrell.
Greelyville, November 21:?The
death of Mr W J Ferrell .November
21 marked the passing out from our j
community of the last old veteran.
Mr Ferrell volunteered at the be- j
ginning of the War Between the
States and was wounded at the second
battle of Manassas, his arm be
ing practically snot on uy a uimic
ball,and the surgeons wanted to amputate
it but he refused to allow it,
so they removed three pieces of the
bone, and after a few weeks we find
him again at the front in charge of
a litter corps.
He served in the Sixth South Carolina
regiment,Jenkins' brigade. He
was a gallant soldier, a good c itizen
a loving father and numbered friends
by the score.
Mr Ferrell lived to the ripe old
age of seventy-six. He leaves a large
family o:f children and grand-children.
It makes our heart sad to see
these great characters pass from
among us. He was a consistent
member of the Presbyterian church.
I feel sure he might have said with
Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I J
have finished my course," and that
he entered into the joys prepared
for the brave and good.
