ml ? ' * *
j no concert last Friday night at
I the West End graded school building
given by the pupils of this
, school for the lienefit of the Union
County Confederate Monument was
a most brilliant success. In cru'
dition, elocution and rendition of
recitations, vocal and instrumental
music the pupils acquitted themselves
handsomely. The sweet'eontralto,
suprano and alto voices of
j the little girls were perfectly charming
and entrancing. The training
of these pupils by Miss Frances H. .
Whitmire, principal of this school, j
was most perfct, showing her con- f
i trol over the minds and hearts of
. the children and her ability and
discipline through which shows the
love the children bear her. The
1 assistance given in this concert by
- the students of Clifford Seminary
5 and vocal quartette of the city added
greatly to the pleasure and completeness
of the program of the
9 evening's entertainment. The
3 school room was most l>cautifully
and tastefully decorated with flowers
and ferns. Confederate and U. S.
flags draped in artistic folds formed
the background of the stage.

In Memoriam.
Whereas, It has pleased ' our
Heavely Father in His all wise
providence to remove from our
midst our beloved member, Mrs.
Ramoth Ixmise Jefferics, and whereas,
she has been one , of our loyal
members since our organization,
having served as the charter historian
of our chapter, be it resolved,
1. That we, the members of the
John Haines Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, have
suffered an irreparable loss in her
death and that we extend "to the
family our deepest sympathy in
their bereavement.
2. That we sincerely regret her
death, but we bow in humble submission
to the will of God.
3. That a member of our chapter
be appointed to write a sketch of
her life and that it with these resolutions
be inscribed in our minute
book.
4. That a copy of these resolutions
he sent to the bereaved family
and that they be published in the
Cherokee and Union County papers.

enjoyable evening.

Mutual Dry Goods Company at this
place, and Miss Booma James, one
of our most charming and cultured
young ladies, spent last Sunday
with his parants, Mr. and Mrs.
L. J. Gault, near Kelton. Both

Madam rumor has it that the
marriage liells will soon ring and
gladden the hearts of those who

TERRIBLE
R.R. WRECK
On Lockhart Division
of the Southern,
Two Miles From
Lockhart Mills.
THREE KILLED
Train Was Turning the Curve
Below S. S. Parrar's Residence
the Engine Turned
Over Billing Engineer and
Pireman, and Richard Wilburn,
who Was Riding in the
Engine?None of the Passengers
Injured.
Wednesday afternoon between ">
and 6 o'clock the regular passenger
train running from the junction between
Union and Jonesvillc to
Txjckhart Mills, met with a sad and
serious wreck just l>eyond the residence
of. Mr. S. Farrar."
It seems that the train was running
behind time and on the curve at
this place the engine left the track
cither by jumping the rails or the
rails spreading. The engine turned
completely over and the engineer,
fireman and Richard Wilburn were
thrown out and caught under the
engine and tender. All three of
wlVOm are dead. There were only
four passengers in the coach, none
of whom were at all injured, nor
were the coaches hurt. Magistrate
Johnson held the inquest.
The engineer, Mr. Edmund MeCliestney
lived until 5 o'clock tbi?
morning. Mr. Hollinmn the fireman
was killed instantly, being terribly
mangled, chest mashed in,
head crushed, legs and arms broken.
Richard Wilburn lived about 15
miuutes after he was taken out
from under the engine. Richard
Wilburn was tha son of Mr. and
Mrs. John II. Wilburn, of Lockhart.
Richard Wilburn, while his father
livoifh t re ahd was deputy sheriff
for Sheriff Jno. W. Sanders, was a
great favorite among bis school
mates. He was a very intelligent
and well behaved lad, and every
lx>dy who knew him spoke well of
him. The reason that Richard
was on the engine at the time of his
death, was that he wanted to learn
-to be an engineer and frequently
rode on the engine. It is very sad
indeed that one so young and clever
should thus meet what we call an
untimely death. The heartfelt
sympathy of the people is with the
bereaved parents and relatives.
Another Enterprise.
We have been reliably informed
that Mr. Emslie Nicholson has
purchased from Capt. J. T. DougI
lass all the land known as the BurI
kett place and that adjoining it
known as a part of the Gage tract, |
containing in all near one hunflred
acres, all within the incorporate
limits of the city, and lying along
the waters of Tarshe and Spring
branches, for which $5,000 was
paid.
It is currently rumored (but wo
don't vouch for this) that the object
of this valuable purchase of
m'ost desirable property is to build
a large cotton mill or somo other
manufactory. The railroad track
will be extended from the Union
cotton mill No. 2 to the Excelsior
knitting mill, which road will run
through this land above referred to.
Memorial Day Exercises.
Under the auspices of the William
Wallace Chapter United
Daughters of the Confederacy the
graves of the Confederate dead were
strewn with l>cautiful Howers Wednesday
afternoon at (> o'clock. At
the appointed hour a large crowd
of men, women and children gathered
at the old cemetery for the |
purpose of decorating the graves of
a ?i r> ti r.

Clifford, D. D., opened the exercises
with a beautiful and appropriate
prayer. The Union brass
band played a martial air. Rev.
L. M. Rico delivered an address,
the band played several beautiful
' airs while the young ladies and
i1 children placed the floral tributes
upon the graves. The olwervance
was quite simple but impressive and
all felt better that they had again
j made fresh thef sacred memories of
1 the heroes of the lost cause, J* ,
