The Rev. w. s. Jacobs.

|. The Presbyterian Church was
flied to overaowing on Sunday
morning last to hear a sermon
from Mr.. jacobs, the newly ap.
pointed pastor. Mr.. Jacobs is
quite young and has recently
graduated at the Seminary in Co.
lumbia. His language is charac.
terized by great fluency and ease
of expression, and his selection OF
words displays acute discernment
and discrimination.
The services were opened by q
solo BY Miss Marie Abney, "Joy
to the World" The songs selected
were three of the good old hymns
that are welcome to every ear
"Nearer My God to Thee" "Come
Thou Fount of Every Blessing, .
and "Jesus, Lover. of My soul.''
1t would be impossible in a
short article to render justice tc
the eloquent remarks made by Mr.
Jacobs, but we will endeavor tc
give few of the main ideas ex.
pressed in the discourse, The text
was taken from the 25th chapter
of st. Matthew, the entire chapter
being used as a ground work for q
talk which was made exceedingly
interesting.
sand FIVE of them were wise and
five were foolish"
"They that were foolish took
their lamps, and took no oil with
them. But the wise took oil in
their vessels with their lamps
There are differences of opinion
as to the definition of the word oil
in this CONNECTION, the, principal
requisite of Christianity present
ing itself dissimilarly to various
minds; the most notable authori-
ties however believe it to mean
most probably the effectual work.

those established by our company,

all others claiming to use DR..

!. Edgefield Medical Society.

Mr.. EDITOR: The next meeting
of the Edgefeld County Medical
Society will be held at Edge6eld
CaH. Wednesday after the. second
Sunday in July prox. i.
Two of the most scientific and
enterprising young physicians in
the State, one living at Johnston
aud the other at Trenton, have
written urging me to arouse inter
est in our society, which seems to
be waning, from the fact that by
some misunderstanding we failed
to meet at our last regular time
for meeting. beg to assure these
young practitioners, upon my own
responsibility, however, that the
society is not dead, as one would
infer from the letters, upon the
following grounds: I believe we
have as many physicians in old
Edgefeld who love their profession
and who feel their responsibilities
as keenly as in any other county
in the State, and if l am correctly
informed, all the other counties in
the State have live, enthusiastic
associations; therefore / am un-
willing to admit that the physi-
clans in our OWL native county are
less"enterprising.
zIsearnestly request every physi-
clan in the county. ."who knows
himself to be in good standing"
to attend our next meeting. which
takes place as above stated.

starve House Flies.

New York Ledger.
"No, thank you, my dear. | do
not want any fly papers or fly
traps about my house. I learned
a great many years ago that the
more things we have to call flies
the more will come. In q neigh
borhood where flies were simply a
nuisance lived almostunmolested
by them because 1 never permitted
a particle of stale food to ac-
cumulate about the premises.
''Flies, like a good many other
things, will never stay where they
are in danger of starvation, and I
never kept anything about the
place to feed them with, not even
fly paper. Everything that could
not be burned was carried as far
from the house as possible and
buried. All garbage is valuable as
a fertilizer, and l utilize it as
such.
1t is my opinion that every form
of fly paper, fly poison, and fly
trap, which is baited with any
substance, is just SO much induce
ment for them to stay around the
house. They think-if flies think
at all-that they are going to get
something to eat, and therefore
hang around. The best fly preyell-
tative is starvation"

Red IIill Academy-Closing Ex-
ercises-Teacher Wanted
/. - for Next Session.

Mr.. EDITOR: The commencement
the. RedrHin Academy is number
ed among the things that are pass
ed, but the 18th and 10Th days Of
June will ever be a green spot in
the memory of those who were for
tunate enough to witness the
closing exercises. Sunday, the
18th, the commencement sermon
preached. by Rev. G. W. Bussey
from the text, "Let all grow to-
lgether until the harvest was sap-
propriate and eloquent.
Monday morning and afternoon
the services consisted of declama-
tions. and recitations by sixty or
more. pupils, with several pretty
duets and songs. The pupils each
showing evidence of intellectual
training.
At II a. m. Mr.. T. Harry Garrett
addressed the audience. His ex-
cellent delivery and sound logic
bids fair to place him at the head
lofs hissprefession. The days SER
vices were closed by Hon. w. j..
ETal lbertmith apleasant and funny
jokey"> address.
Then came the concert. When
the sounds Of "Dixie" reached the
scattered ~throng rush was the
order to get desirable seats. The
house was soon filled, and even
standing room was not to be had.
The music by the Glanton band
with pretty Miss Birdie Resspers
at the piano and cornetist Reese
and Deli, was of itself a grand
treat. The concert was so brilliant
that it would have to be seen, for
my pen cannot do justice in the
attempted description. 1t will
suffice to say that each pupil acted
his part 80 we'll that a profess
sional might have envied them.
The concert closes and we turn our
faces homeward, feeling happy
over the pleasures of the past, but
sad from the thought that Miss
Willie Hudson had decided to
change her field. However, she
leaves a field of well trained
scholars and the lady who succeeds
her will find a school we'll up with
modern times.
The trustees would like to hear
from some of the lady teachers
who wish employment. Applica-
tions addressed to the secretary
will be considered as early as re-
ceived. The school viii open about
the 1st of September.
Our crops in this section are
small. Cotton is very late, corn is
looking we'll.
Miss Maggie Morgan, from Parks

Coroner's jury wrangled an hour over
whether he had died from the kick or from
strikin' the earth. Died happy, though.

been outdone by mule. Then / bought
the mule and put bell on him, and am

A NEW MANAGER.
The Change in the Baden

A change has taken place in the man.
agement of the South San Francisco Land
and Improvement Company by which C.
w. Smith, vice president and general
manager. retires. He has been succeeded
by a. c. Foster, who came hither from
Omaha about a week ago. Smith was g
railroad man and had been vice. president
of the Santa Fe lines. Foster. the new
manager. is a practical packer. having
been familiar with the business for years.
He has been associated with e. w. Swift
and Nelson Morris in various enterprises,
and until lately was president of bank
in Omaha. Among his ventures was a
rendering factory, which will probably be
a feature of the cOmpany's work at South
San Francisco hereafter.
M. Foster will take entire charge of the
interests of the company at Baden, in
Guiding the abattoiTs. packing-house and
the 3600-acre tract. He will also look after
the warehouses in this city, Oak land and
San Jose. He intends to build up town
down near the yards. A Number of new
enterprises will probably be started, in
Guiding factories in which numbers oil
workmen will be employed.
Mr.. Foster is at present looking over the
field. One Of the first problems which he
will attend to will be the boycott against
the company on the part OF the wholesale
butchers. What action he will take in re-
gard to it, be has not vet determined. His
predecessor, Mr.. Smith, left about a fort
night age for Chicago, where he will hence
