The Columbia Register, of last Friday,
says: sThe editor of the Southern Christian
! Advocate received a communication last
night announcing the death of Mrs. Woll-
| ing, the wife of Rev. ]. W. Wolling, who
left South Carolina less than year ago to
| reinforce the Methodist missions in Brazil.
Mrs. Wolling was sick for twelve days with
malarial fever, and heavy hemorrhage
coming on, she sank quickly and passed
away in half an hour. She died at Pira-
cicaba, Brazil, December q, 1887. The
news of her death will be great shockto
hundreds Of loving friends throughout
the State" This will be read with sorrow
by our entire people. Mrs. Wolling was
resident of Anderson four years, and by
her gentle manners and loving disposition
made friend Of every acquaintance.
Mr.. Wolling, in this sore bereavement,
has the sympathy of a host of friends.
Greenville's amateurs, under the man
agement of Mrs. R. 81. Kennedy, render
ed Pinafore very successfully in the Ma
sonic Hall last Friday evening, and,
despite the very inclement weather, were
greeted by packed house. The hall was
inadequate to accommodate all who de-
sired to attend, many persons staying
away because they could not secure seats.
The majority of the audience had seen the
opera rendered by professionals, but not
withstanding this fact, every one present
heartily enjoyed the entertainment. Mr..
Moses Mark, as ''Ralph Rackstraw," Miss
Jennie MoCaw as Josephine" and Miss
Sarah Jenkins as "Little Buttercup," did
exceedingly we'll. Mr.. Mark has clear,
rich voice, and sings we'll. Miss McCaw's
voice was not strong, but her acting was
good, while Miss Jenkins, a acharming little
brunette, captivated the audience with her
sweet voice. The entire company, which
was composed Of about twenty-five MEM
bers, appeared to good advantage. If
our Greenville friends should ever visit
us again, We hope to have larger and
more comfortable hall and stage for their
accommodation.
The prayer meetings in Temperance
Hall on Sunday afternoons are increasing
in interest and are we'll attended. These
meetings were started again at the sugges-
tion of several young men, and are not
held under the auspices of the W. c. 7.
o., as has been stated. It is proposed 10
continue the meetings every Sunday after
noon, and an effort will shortly be made
to organize branch of the Y. NJ. G. A.
We think the idea good one, and hope
that the effort will prove success. A
properly conducted Association would be
the means of accomplishing much good
in Anderson. A nice hall, comfortably
and neatly furnished, and supplied with
good library, papers, ETC., would be
pleasant resort for boys and young men
after business hours. Money invested in
something like this would not be thrown
away. Every parent in the city should
feel an interest in the Association, and
encourage the efforts of those who are
working to get it established here. At the
meeting last Sunday afternoon conmit.
tee was appointed to await upon Rev. A.
A. Marshall and invite him to preach
sermon specially to young men. The COM
mittee has conferred with Mr.. Marshall,
who has accepted the invitation, and will
deliver the sermon on Sunday night, 10Th
inst. While his sermon will be directed
to young men, everybody, of course, is
invited to be present. Every young man
in and around the city should not fail to
hear this sermon. for We know it will be
replete with words of wisdom and advice.
