Mrs. Kesiah Brewer, wife of Mr.. j. S.
Brewer, died at her home in Williamson
township, on Saturday, 14th inst. Sue
was member of the Baptist Church for
number of years, and in her death the
community in which she resided has lost
an estimable lady. She leaves husband
and six children. Her remains were in
tered at Beaverdam Church, Rev. E. A.
Durham conducting the funeral services.
We find on our table a copy of the
Church Record, a paper published at Cokes
bury, S. c., in the interest Of the NJ. E.
Church, South, with Rev. w. D. Kirk
land, Presiding Elder of the Cokesbury
District, as editor. We are glad to num-
Der it among our exchanges. It's col
umns are filled with choice and interest
ing matter, and as the subscription price
is only so cents per annum, it should be
literally supported by its denomination.
The report which we published from
the Greenyille Ne,ss, stating that Mr..Dick
Mulligan had, in drunken spell, strick-
en- at his wife and killed one of his chill
dren, after which he killed himself, turns
out to be utterly without foundation.
Mr.. Mulligan is alive, and has had no
difficulty with his family, and has not
been under the influence of whiskey for
a long time: He is q quiet, industrious
and upright citizen, and We regret that
such an unfounded rumor should have
been SO generally circulated.
Mrs. Mahala Grubbs, wife of Mr.. G. w.

in the city. she had madea friend of every
one with whom she had become acquaint

mons of death with Christian resignation.
Her remains were carried to Barker's
Creek Church, near Honea Path, on Sat-
urday, and there inferred, Rev. l.. w.

A bereaved husband and fve little chill

It is with regret that we announce the

Cured at the residence Of her husband,

only few days. Mrs. Wilson was
daughter of mfr. Geo. Jones, and was
highly esteemed by an extensive ac-
auaintance., Her death has cast a gloom
over the community in W which she resided.

was very active, earnest member OF the
Methodist Church, and was most zeal
GUS worker in the Sunday ScnooI, where
she will be greatly missed. She leaves
bereayed husband and six children, ione

While sitting in our sanctum Monday
morning looking through our exchanges,
our eyes fell upon copy Of the Seminary
LeaJlel, which has just been brought into
existence by the "Exochean Society" of
the Anderson Female Seminary. We pc
rused its contents with eager interest, and
will ever appreciate its visits. Miss Lulah
Aver and Miss salle Hughey are the
Annual Editors, Miss Gussie Sitton Local
Editor, and Miss Mary Bagby Business
Manager. To these fair knights Of the
quill" we lift our hat and make our best
bow, at the same time wishing them a
pleasant career in the field Of Journalism,
aud long life for the Leaaet. 1t is an
eight-page paper, aud issued monthly at
ST 90 per session. Its Typography is very
neat and in good taste. The Leafet should
be visitor 10 the home of every friend
and patron Of the Seminary.
