and Nj. n. 5itton, of Greenville. A lot

The union services were held in the
Presbyterian Church last Sunday night,
and the Church was crowded 10 its.utmost
seating capacity. DR.. Frierson conducted
the service, and preached most able and
interesting sermon. We think it would
be good idea for the pastors to have q
union service every Sunday night, taking
time about in the various Churches. The
attendance, we believe, would be larger,
and more good would be accomplished.
It is real pleasure to note with what
unity and harmony our churches are
working together, and we hope 1t may
continue for years to come.
Miss Maud Norris, eldest daughter Of
our former citizen, Mr.. 40. Norris, died
at Graham, Texas, last Thursday night,
January 31st, after an illness Of several
weeks. Mr.. Norris, with his family, left
Anderson about two months ago for
Texas, and on the way there Miss Maud
took sick. Shortly after arriving at her
new home, she was stricken down and her
sickness developed into typhoid fever,
which caused her death. She was about
sixteen years Of age, and bright, amia-
bic young lady, who was loved and
admired by every acquaintance for her
many beautiful traits of character and
sweet, gentle disposition. Her friends
and relatives in Anderson County will
| read this announcement OF her death with
sorrowful hearts, for she was favorite
with them all. She has gone from this
earth, but her loved ones are consoled
with the thought she has entered into q
brighter world above. The grief-stricken
family will have many sympathlzers in
their bereavement.

The Spartanburg correspondent of the
Charleston Ne,Os and Courier, under date
of January 3lst, says: "Information is
wanted about the Keown family, who
may be in this State. If any of them or
their descendants are readers of the Ne,ps
and Courier, they arc requested to write to
L. G. Keown, Edwardsyille, Illinois. He
is getting up the genealogy and history OF
the family. 1t Is confidently believed that
every person in the United States whose
name is spelled Keown is lineal descen-
dant Of the Scottish colonist" hereinafter
mentioned; and moreover that many, If
not all, of those who spell their names
either Keown, McKeown, McKeoun, or
| McKown, are descendants of the same
person. In regard to the origin Of the
name, let it satisfy to say that it belonged
to the father of Thomas and James Alex
ander Keown, Scottish colonist, who
lived in County Down, province of Ulster,
ireland. Thomas and James A. Reown
were brought up and educated In Ireland.
Thomas married Polly Colwell, and
James A. married Peggy -. About the
year ITO they took shipping at Belfast
and emigratod to America, landing IL
Charleston, South Carolina, where one OF
them bought small tract of land on or
near King street, which land hezn
sold, and after short stay there they re.
moved to Abbeville district in this State,
