The Williamson correspondent of the
Greenville Ncws, under date of the 10th
inst, says: "a case that has excited the
indignation as we'll as the sympathy of our
town was brought to notice few days ago
when it was ascertained that Mrs. R. A.
Bass and her four little helpless children,
the youngest an infant of six months, had
been deserted by the hr band and father,
who had eloped with his own niece and
gone to parts unknown. Bass moved to
Williamson with his family about four
months ago (from no one knows where)
claiming to be a veterinary surgeon, but
proved to be failure in that line. He

his wife's household goods for the payment

Emma Lyerby, his own sisters daughter
of Statesville, N. c., and left his wife and
children without single penny or any.

Last Sunday, in company with Mr.. M.
L. Willis, we had the pleasure of visiting
Church, Ebenezer, in Martin Township,
RI
joyable one but feebly expresses it. The
morning services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. W. T. Duncan, who preached
most practical and impressive sermon.
The subject Of his discourse was based on
few verses of the 2lst chapter of st. John,
where the blessed Saviour commanded
Peter to feed His lambs ard sheep. Mr..
Duncan drew some practical lessons from
these commands, and proved to his hear
ers that they were applicable to them.
Mr. Duncan is one of the youngest men,
hers of the South Carolina Conference, and
is doing good work in the Masters vine
yard. At the conclusion of the morning
service, the large congregation was dis
missed to partake of dinner, which was
served on the grounds. After dinner the
congregation assembled again in the
Church ald spent two hours or more in
praise service, which was conducted by
MIR. Willis, and heartily joined in by all
present. -On the first page of the INTELLI

that section. AS this correspondents states,
Ebenezer Church was organized more than
century ago. This fact can be verified
by stroll through the adjoining ceme-

the first settlers of that section. Here lies
the remains of that famous school teacher,
Robert Breckenridge, who taught continu.

grave, We regret to say, Is not marked.
Lorenzo DIV and James Danelly, two
famous preachers in their time, have
preached in Ebenezer Church. There is
still used in the Church table on which
Mr. Dow is said to haYe sat- tailorfash-

We met many old friends and found new

ever the opportunity offers itself we will
again visit this sacred old place.
