Rev. John Wallace Dead.
Rev. John Wallace is no more.
After six month's illness resulting ;?'ttC
from a severe attack of gripp, this Wa
good colored man passed away at 11 can
o'clock Monday morning. John an
Wallace was recognized by all as one a
of the best oolored men In Union we 1
county. He was beloved and honored
by his race, and highly respected c?f
by the white people of the whole ?
oounty. He was kind, courteous and (
f obliging to all, and possibly did not av
^ have an enemy among white or black.
Ho was a self made man, Intelligent
/far beyond the average and was ever
( earnest in his efforts to prove to the y
colored people that t heir white neigh
bors were their true friends. The \fr
white people as well as oolored were ajyi
saddened at the announcement of thei
the death of John Wallace. Thii

Jotiesville News Notes.
Jonesvilt.e, April 7.?This is u
cold, cloudy, dreary day, more like
winter than spring. Hut little planting
has been done in the farms so far
but the farmers got in good work
last week and prepared much land
for the planting of crops. Some corn
has been planted by most farmers,
but the bulk of the corn crop will not
be planted until after the cotton
crop is put in. Gardens make a poor
shew. The fruit is safe so far.
A great many people from this
neighborhood attended court at Union
last week to hear the Floyd case, because
Floyd and Vaughan both lived
near Jonesviile and they had many
relatives and friends here who were
naturally inclined on one side or the
other.
The election for Town Council will
come off tomorrow and it is very well
understood who will be elected as
there is but one ticket in the field.
The ticket is as follows : For Mayor,
J.J. Littlejohn; for Wardens, J. B.
Foster, R. W. Scott, F. T. Williams
and Dr. W. J. Douglass.
eiews nas just reacnea jonesvme or!
the death of the Rev. John Wallace ,
(colored) of Union, Rev. Wallace J
has been pastor of a church here, ex- 8tO
cept one or two years, for the last
twenty-seven years. He first commenced
preaching here under a brush
harbor to a very small membership.
A church was built later and still a
bottor church was built later on and
finally a still better house of worship,
the present one, was built all under
the ministry of the Rev. Wallace,
and now the membership numbers
more than three hundred, and more
than half a dozen proachers have
gone out from this congregation.
Much good has been accomplished
by this faithful colored minister during
his long misistry, but he has
gone to his reward.
Miss Catie Holcomb, of Union, has

Master Earnest McWhirter, who is
at WofTord College, stopped over on
his way home from Charleston and
spent Sunday in Jonesville with his
parents.
Messrs. John Scott, Marlon McWhirter,
Glide Whitlock and Dr. H
T. Haines all returned from the Charleston
Exposition last week and are
delighted with the Ivory city and the
Exposition. Sevoral others will go
to the Exposition this week.
Miss Carrie Southard, from the
graded school at Union, spent last
week in town with her parents.
The English sparrows have taken
to some of the gardens in town and
have literally eat up the young English
peas.
W. H. 8. Harris, R. W. Seott, Noah
Fowler and J. L. McWhirter are talking
of going to the Dallas reunion, so
it seems that Jonesville will be repI
resented at Dallas. Tclkphouc,
