! and Twenty creek, met with painful
accident at bis gin house this morning.
He was in bis engine room, and while
attempting to regulate something on the
engine, his coat was caught in the machin-

Mr.. W. R. McAdams, who lives near
First Creek Church, just across the line in
Abbeville County, met with severe loss
last Saturday night by having his cotton
house burned. In the building were nine
bales of cotton, a lot of cotton seed, all of
his plantation implements and tools, and
two good buggies, all Of which were de-
stroyed except two bales Of cotton. The
fire was discovered between l aud 2
O'Clock, and is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary. Mr.. McAdams

who piled the torch will be caught and
punished severely.

10000 bundles of fodder besides big lot
of shucks and other forage, all Of which

Two of Mr. Pruitt's employees had visited
the stables and fed the stock a short time

R. O. L., in the last issue Of the Southern,
Presbyterian, says: "We have just closed
an interesting meeting conducted by our
evangelist, Rev. w. T. Matthews at Flat
Rock and Deans. These two Churches
are situated near each other and are feeble
points in the Masters vineyard. The
meeting began at Flat Rock on the fourth
Sunday and continued there with great
interest until Wednesday night. On
Thursday it began at Deans and continued
Spirit of the Lord was present from the
fret, as was evinced from the in terest that
was manifested, and the numbers who
came out from the world and confessed
Christ. There were thirty seven additions
in ell. seventeen of whom united With the
Flat Rock, eleven with Deans, three with
Varennes and the remainder with Metho-
dist and Baptist Churches. Both OF the
Churches are greatly encouraged in their
work and feel that the Lord has done
great things for them."
Miss Lizzie Anderson, the second
daughter of Mr.. Daniel Anderson, died at
her home in Broadway Township OH
Tuesday afternoon. She had been in fee
BILE health for several months, and about
the 1st of October visited the Worlds
Fair. She returned home not much inn
proved by her trip, and her health rapidly
grew worse until about ten days ago,
when the family realized that her condi-
ton was serious. The family physician
was called, but nothing could be done for
her, as her disease had become more COM
plicated and heart failure brough her life
to close. Miss Anderson was about 28
years of age, and was most excellent and
accomplished young lady. For number
of years she has taught school In several
sections of the County, and was greatly
esteemed by both her pupils and patrons.
She faithfully performed her duties in the
school room and in the family, and the
announcement of her death will be heard
with sorrow by a wide circle Of friends.
She was faithful Christian, and since her
girlhood had been member Of the Pres
byterian Church. The grief-stricken pa
rents are deeply bereaved In the death of
their loved one, but they have the conso-
lation of knowing that she is now with the
blessed Saviour, whom she delighted to
serve. The funeral services take place to-
day at home at 2 o'clock, Rev. Dr.. Frier-
son officiating. The remains will then be
brought to Silver Brook Cemetery and in
TERED at 4 O'Clock.
