Aal'cn Items.

We had Our communication written
and would have got it to you in time
for print, in your issue before the last,
If it had not been for the exceeding
inclemency Of the weather. In that
communication we had some items
which we would liked to have had
printed, and which we think would
have been of some interest to at least
some of your grateful subscribers. One
or two things we will re-write with
some diversions of course: !.
While the majority of the people OF
this community were quietly attending
to their agricultural, mechanical, do
mestical and other industrial pursuits
one Wednesday afternoon some two or
three weeks ago Mr.. Ether Shirley, one
of Trinity's most energetic and promls-
ing Young men, came down OH this side
and took for his companion through
life one of onr most lovely and accom-
Dlished young ladies, in the person of
Miss jamie Melton. We are very sorry
to see Miss jamie leave us, but we have
the assurance that she has chosen q
worthy young man for her companion.
We wish this young couple who have
started out upon life with the cups"
and downs to be faced, all the sue
cess, happiness and joy that any friend
could wish, for we have been school
mate with both of them and know OF
their sterling qualities.
Services were held at Midway
Thanksgiving day, after which col
lection of some eight or ten dollars was
taken for the Thornwell Orphanage at
Clinton. Though the collection was
small, twillhelp to support those many
children who have no father or mother
to watch over and care for them. 1t
all the Churches sent in that much
Though it be little) the orphans will be
cared for for some time rs a result.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. l.. Foster were called
last week tosthe bedside of Mrs. Eos
ter's father, Mr.. jackson Johnson, who
lives at Piedmont Nj. johnson was
very low with pneumonia, but we are
glad to hear that he is improving.
Since our s'soldier boys" have re-
turned home there seems TO be more
life in this community, amongst the
girls at least.
Cadet w. D. King, OF Clemson Col
lege. came home to spend Tbanksglv--
ing day with his parents, and stayed
over with them till Sunday, when he
retained to his studies. Walter is q
stndiouS young man, and we feel con-
fident that he will make his mark in
the world.
Mr.. r. A. Gentry, who is teaching
the White Plains school, returned home
last Friday afternoon and spent SatUr-
day and Sunday with his parents.
Mr.. J. A. Shirley, of Bolton, accom-
panied by Miss Callie Jones, visited

Rev. S. e. Todd has been conducting
a series of meetings at Trinity Church,
which is near this place. Rev. Mr.
Todd was q Presbyterian minister but
Withdrew from that Church and is now
actively engaged in evangelistic work.
He is accompanied by Mr.. - Curry,
who is the leader Of the singing servi-
ces. MIR. Curry is one of the best Or
ganists and singers that we have ever
heard. Great interest has been taken
in the meeting, and, despite the ex-
ceedingly cold weather. the attendance
has been good, especially at night.
We pray thatBr Todd and Bro. Curry
may be the means in Gods hands Of Il
great revival at this place. Several
persons from distance attended the
services on Sunday, among whom are
the following: Messrs. Cary and Coch-
ran, of Clemson. and MesSrs. Thomas,
Cartee and others from ASbury.
The schools around this section are
small yet, and will probably be small
until after. Christmas, owing to the
fields OF cotton not yet gathered.
