quiry in regard to the affray, and learned
that the policemen had only presented the
Mayor with beautiful gold-headed cane,
as mark OF esteem and respect they have
for him. This is merited tribute 10 Mayor
Maxwell, wLo is ever mindful of the peace
and welfare of the city. He appreciates
the present very highly, and no doubt will
ever remember the efficient policemen he
has had during his administration.
We regret to announce the death Of Mr..
John Hall, which occurred at his residence
in Martin township on last Sunday morn
ing, after brief illness OF pneumonia.
Mr.. Hall was about seventy-two years of
age He was o pure, upright man, COM
manding tho universal respect of all who
knew him, and although living to good
old age, never made an enemy. He was for
more than forty years consistent member
of the First Creek Baptist Church. The
Bible was eminently the book which
he studied and which he made his daily
companion. Few, if any, were more thor
oughly versed in its teachings. Mr.. Hall
leaves very large circle Of relatives, con-
neetions and friends, who though sadly
feeling their loss in his death, will fondly
cherish the memory Of his pure life. His
remains, after appropriate funeral services
by Rev. ]. s. Murray, were inferred in the
First Creek Cemetery. We tender our sim
cere sympathy to the bereaved in their
affiiction.
According to announcement, a number
of our citizens met in The Court House last
Friday afternoon for the purpose of organ
izing a Literary Society. Nothing Of inl-
portance was done, however, beyond ap-
pointing a conn ittee to prepare Consti-
tuition and Bylaws for the government of
the Society, which committee was instruct
cd to report at an adjourned meeting to be
held Monday afternoon. On Monday after
noon another meeting was held, when the
organization of the Society was completed
by electing officers and adopting Consti'
tuition and Bylaws. The following are
ths officers: President, Rev. D. e. Frier-
son. D. D.; Vice-President, Prof. II. G.
Reed; Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian,
Frank Z. Harrison. 1t was decided to call
the organization "Thc Anderson Literary
Society,"" The initiation fee is fifty cents,
and the dues fifty cents per quarter. The
regular meetings Of the Society will be held
on Tuesday after the first Monday in each
month. The Society starts out with a
membership Of 6fty-one persons. An e1-
cellent set of officers has been selected,
and if the members will manifest the proper
interest tho success Of the Society is assured.
We are glad to chronicle the fact that such
Soeiety has been organized in our midst.
Each and every citizen should feel an in.
terest in it, for it will undoubtedly prove
beneficial to our people, especially TO the
younger portion. The first regular meeting
of the Society will be held in Messrs. Muir
ray, Breazeale & Murrays law office next
Tuesday afternoon, when it is earnestly de-
sired that all the members and those who
desire to join will attend.
