Methodist Service.
Rev. NJ. NJ. Brabham will preach
in our village Methodist Church
on Sunday morning next. Let a
goodly congregation assemble to
hear the new pastor.
Two Pauls.
Little Lizzie Lou is the bright
fve-year-old daughter of Mr.. Barn
we'll Jones of our town. She goes
to Sunday-school, and for some
time has been hearing about and
learning about the Apostle Paul,
and his journeyings tc Corinth, and
Ephesus, and Philippi, end Athens.
But this little maid has taken NJ
the idea that our young friend
Paul Gibson is the very Paul who
made all those journeys, and that
he made.them on his bicycle!
"Taken Holt"
A large number of our townsfolk
are i'll with the grip. 1t is not
generally known that this disease
is contagious, but it will be OBJ
served that where itenters a family
it generally affects all the MEN,
bers, and to use a paradox it is
more dangerous after you get well
of it than it is while you have it.
In a very recent medical work DR..
Pepper, distinguished physician
of Philadelphia, warns persons
who have just recovered against
exposure to the danger of REIN
lection, "as fresh attacks contract
ed under such circumstances are
apt to prove very serious"
Welcomed to Edgefield.
Rev. Mr.. Brabham, the new pas
tor of our Methodist Church,
preached his first sermon here on
Dec. Oath, at II o'clock. In the
evening of the same day special
services were held, all Christian
denominations of our town and
their pastors uniting to welcome
Mr.. Brabham to our community.
Many felicitous remarks were made
by the ministerial brethren pres
cut, and most cordial greeting
extended to the new laborer in this
part of the Lords vineyard. We
understand that the Methodist
congregation are delighted with
Mr.. Brabham.
He Smole a Smile.
A young Edgefeld girl and her
beau were slightly disconnected a
few evenings ago by the sudden
entrance of the old gentleman
into the parlor. He looked wrathy,
the girl gigg!ed, and the beau
looked to see if the door was open.
But the quick-witted young girl
solved the problem, and poured
oil on the waters about to be
troubled by saying "It's all right,
father, I'm going into the hands
OF receiver, and you'll soon have
no more taxes to pay on my ac-
count" The old gentleman's
brow cleared, he smole a smile,
for he was a powerful anti man,
and the ants, you know, all favor
receivers.
Time Extended.
The time for paying taxes has
been extended to the first day of
February. On Saturday last, the
30th of December, the Comptroller
General forwarded 10 the different
counry treasurers of the State the
following circular of instructions:
DEAR SIR: Pursuant to authority
conferred upon me as Comptroller
General of South Carolina, by
Section 552. General Statues of
this State, the time for collecting
taxes without the penalty for the
fiscal year commencing November
1st, 1892, and ending 31st October
1898, is hereby extended to the first
day of February, 1894. Respect

Col. Sam Strom was in town on
Tuesday. In a little talk with us
he said that during a life of eighty
odd years he had never become SO
we'll acquainted with old man
"Hard Times" as during the year
1898. He went on to say: II don't
owe a dollar in tie world that l
know of, and I haven't got the dol
lar to pay it if did, but I am per-
fectly satisfied, nevertheless-just
as we'll this way as any other.' A
philosophical way to view things,
and one that we commend to our
readers.
MIR. Mealing's Sermon.
Edgefeld ie alwa, delighted to
hear the Rev. John P. Mealing.
This pleasure was afforded US on
Sunday evening last in the Baptist
Church. The theme selected was
drawn from the epistle of James
Al and 10:
Submit yourselves therefore
unto God. Resist the devil and be
will flee from you."
Humble yourselves in the sight
of the Lord, and he will lift you
up"
This discourse was eminently
practical, especially in the allu-
sions and application to the strin-
gency of the times, showing that
all extremes in life are times of
great temptation as we'll as of
grand opportunities. Either the
condition of much prosperity or
the exigencies of poverty are crises
of danger as well as Of possible
blessings. Agur wisely said: "Give
me neither poverty nor riches;
X Lest be full and deny Thee,
and say, Who is the Lord? or lest
1 be poor and steal" Let the
emergencies with which the ,,om.
ing year will be fraught, give us
opportunities to glorify God, in
submitting to His providences.
Mr.. Mealing said that he did not
hear much in these times of the
providence of God, that people
seemed to think that God had
created the world and then left it
alone. Not so, Gods hand is in
everything, the "same yesterday,
to-day, and forever" "My brethren
count it all Joy when ye fall into
divers temptations" Knowing that
the trying of your faith worketh
patience

Cured an event that is disgrace to any
civilized community, and resulting over

1t is doubly disgraceful. About the 9th
of July, as we are Informed, the trustees
of that particular school district met, w
J. Rose and Elijah Rose, only two of the
three being present, aud selected Miss
Ida Swango as teacher IL is further
stated that the law was complied with
in every particular, and a complete rec
ord of the proceedings made, but on the
same day one OF the trustees, w. j. Rose,
went to Campton and resigned his Office
Another man was Immediately appointed
TO fill the vacancy, and he and the one not
acting in the selection of Miss Swango
selected Granville Rose as teacher. \As
a result school opened with both teachers.

house, and thus matters continued until
Friday evening. On Saturday night the
home of the original trustee for Miss
Swango was raided, and as he had the

The following affidavit speaks for itself
