The Murderer of Ike BoOzer,

Douglas Coleman, who is now in Jail
is sentenced to be hanged tomorrow
Coleman is stout negro about 50 or &C
years old, and is considered rather
weak, mentally. a petition is being
circulated this week to get the Govern
or to commute his sentence to life i'm.
prisonment in the penitentiary. The
petition is numerousiy signed and it is
thought the Governor will grant it. II
has been long time since we have bad
an execution in Newberry.
Coleman is convicted of the murder
of Ike Boozer, which was committed
in this county, on the 2Sth January of
last year, in the house of Patience
Chalmers. Boozer was found dead in
the woods, having been struck in the
head with some blunt instrument from
the effects Of which he died. Upon the
first investigation of the case, two wo-
men were arrested and lodged in Jail
charged with the murder. Patience
Chalmers, one Of these, in whose house
the murder took place, said Ike Boozer
and Douglas Coleman had a quarrel
and Coleman killed him with an axe.
Coleman was thereupon arrested, tried
and convicted, and sentenced to hang
on Friday, January II, 'S9.

A Joyous Occasion at the Presbyterian Par

sonage.
To the Editor of The Herald and
News The manse Of the Presbyterian
church was invaded by a merry throng
on last Thursday evening. The con-
gregation had determined to give the
pastor, Rev. J. S. Cozby, genuine
'surprise party" and just after lamp
light, the door-bell began its clangor,
and soon the reception rooms were
filled to over-howing by merry crowd
of grown-up people and little children,
who had come with hearts full, and
hands full of happy greetings for the
pastor and his family. The North and
the South, the East and the West, the
Land and the Sea had been summoned
to pay tribute to the occasion, and right
bounteously did they respond with
bundles great and bundles small, until
there seemed-not room for all. 1t
was a joyous occasion which memory
will warmly cherish, not only for the
many substantial gifts which it
brought, but for the kind and warm
feeling that inspired it !; and the pastor
in behalf of himself and family takes
this opportunity Of expressing their
most hearty thanks to the congrega-
ton and to those kind friends who
united with them in this generous out
pouring of good will and kind deeds.

Temperance Treat.

On Tuesday, January Sth, long before
the ringing of the bell, children, with
liberal sprinkling Of those Of larger
growth) could be seen, with expectant
faces, vending their way to Thompson
Street Church. Asking a ''little trot"
what the comnotion meant, was told,
"Why, don't you know? Its treat day
for our "Band of Hope" Curiosity
prompted me to Investigate the matter.
So I joined the constantly increasing
crowd, and soon found myself at the
place of meeting, and Oh, my stars !!
Such an array of children, from one
year of age up to ninety. a large BAN
ner with the letters W. G. T. =. and B.
of H. was suspended above the pulpit.
The chandeliers and organ were pro-
fusely trimmed with white ribbons,
and immense white japonicas. On a
large table in front of the pulpit were
numberless neat looking packages, and
bags, ali colors of the rainbow, were
slowed away in every available place.
At $50 the president called the meet
ing to order, and Rev. J. S. Cozby led
in prayer. An ilnpromptu choir sang
ringing prohibition song, after which
all joined in reading portion of Scrip
ture. Twelve little girls, each repre-
senting month in the year, came for
ward and wished the assembled crowd
Happy and prosperous New Year"
The year 1889 was called for, and four
children dressed in costumes represent
ing Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter came forward and
"Advised the crowd to take no wine,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-nine."
In response to a call from the Presi-
dent Rev. J. S. Cozby spoke few well
chosen words of pleasant greeting to
the children. After singing Bringing
in the Sheaves," in which the whole
congregation joined, the announcement
was made that the time had arrived for
the distribution of the presents, and
then, how the children's eyes sparkled!
Each child received a handsome book
and bag Of fruits, candy, etc. 26o
books and bags were distributed. After
the distribution of presents the bene-
diction was pronounced and the little
folks went home to wait for the Tenn
perance Treat of 1890.
