during which time he had a handsome
monument erected in the Baptist Gene
terry, to the memory of his father and
mother the late Mr.. and Mrs. John b.
Sloan, who are inferred there. Mr.. Sloan
has not been in Anderson since he lived

glad to see him back here. and now that
he has learned the way over, we hope he

According to appointment. Rev. John
W. Davis, D. D., Missionary to China,
lectured in the Presbyterian Church last
Friday evening and also Sunday morning
and evening. Despite the bad weather,
he had good audience OH each occasion,
and his lectures were highly enjoyed by
each one present. After his lecture Sum
day night. he exhibited number of
curiosities from China, among them
model of Chinese lady's foot, specimens
of fancy work in silk, Chinese money,
chop sticks, &c. DIR. Davis is native of
North Carolina, and is just in tho prime
of life. lie has been engaged as mis-
sionary in China for twelve years, and has
lust returned % his nativo home on va
cation. His zeal and interest in the mis-
sionary work, however, is so great, that
instead of remaining at his old home with
his friends and relatives, he has been
travelling through this and other States
with the view of working up new inter-
est in the missionary cause. His efforts
have not been in vain. The main object
of his visit through this State is for the
purpose of raising a sufficient sum OF
money with which to build dwelling
house at Sanchow for DR.. Dubose, the
missionary from the Synod of South Car
olina. The Prcsbyterians of this city pre-.
sented him with liberal purse for that
object. During his visit here DR.. Davis
made many friends, and when he returns
to his noble work in his adopted home he
will carry with him their prayers and
best wishes for long life of usefulness
and happiness.
