Charming Entertainment.

The following notice complimenSing
two of Anderson's accomplished yoang
ladies is clipped from the Greenville
Ncacs:
The entertainment given on Friday
evening, February l1tb, under the anspi-
ces of the Willing Workers Of the First
Baptist Church for the benefit of Furman
University was financial success. It
was also one of the most delightful enter
tainments it has ever been our privilege
to attend. Misses Bette May Mauldin,
of this city, Elise Mauldin and Caro-
Miller. of Anderson. delighted large
and appreciative audience. The first
mentioned young lady by her exquisite
performance on the violin charmed
everyone present. Her execution was
splendid. Miss Elise Mauldin possesses
wonderful talent as an elocutionist. Her
readings elected warm applause and cap
tured the audience, being encored re-
peatedly after every piece Her rendi-
tion of ''Old Mother Goose" was especially
fine, moving the audience at times to
tears. Miss Miller made fine appear
ance on the stage. In her songs she gave
evidence of compass and sweetness sell
dom heard. The gentle dignity of the
young ladies aud at the same time the
utter absence of self consciousness made
the entertainment ali the more charming.

Belton Items.

There were many expressions OF sorrow
this morning when news reached here OF
the sudden and unexpected death OF Mr.
Geo. M. McDavid. Mr.. McDRvid was
we'll and favorably known throughout
this entire section of country. He has
done the greater part CT the surveying
ofthis section for many years, and was
noted for his accurate work. Mr.. Nc
David was brother OF Mrs. G. w. Nc
Gee and Mrs. NJ. J. Williams, Of this
place, and the father Of Mrs. G. w. FAINT,
who resides about two miles belew here.
They all have the sympathy OF the COM
munity.
The camp here of the Woodraen of tho
World is now fully organized and in q
1ourishing state. Those who are interested
in cheap insurance will find it to their
interest to investigate the merit Of this
order before taking policies elsewhere.
A joint debate between the literary So
ciety of the Princeton High School, Lau-
rens County, and the literary society OF
the school of this place will be given
here on the 25th inst. The query to be
tariff is beneficial to the American peo-
pie" The affirmative will be represented
by Mr.. e. q. Rice, Jr., and Prof A. G..
Holmes, both of Belton; the negative by
Prof f. a. Cooper and Mr.. Robert
Sharp. of Princeton. All the above are
known to be clear thinkers and good
speakers, and we doubt not that the oc-
cssion will prove both interesting and
profitable.

Death Of Mr.. S. N. Carpenter.

This Elbertou (Ga.) Tribune, of the 18th
inst, contained the following account Of
the death of former citizen OF Anderson
County:
Mr.. S. N. Carpenter died last Sunday
about II o'clock and was buried in the
Elberton Cemetery the following day
MIR. Carpenter had been in most pitiaole
condition for several years. Four or FIVE
years ego he had a stroke of paralysis. and
shortly afterwards suffered from second
stroke. Ever since he has been weak IN
mind and body, and for more than year
has not been seen on the streets OF Elber-
ton. He has been gradually growing
worse and worse for years, and to him
death came as blest relief. While IN
health Mr.. Carpenter was an active worker
in tho affairs OF Elbert County. For
long time he edited the Gazette, one OF the
pioneer papers of this section, giving up
the work only when disabled by disease.
He was man of firm convictions and had
the courage to maintain them at the cost OF
friends and popularity. Mr.. Carpenter
was native OF Anderson County, S. G., q
good Confederate soldier, lawyer though
never actively practicing in the Courts,
and in the palnly days had host of friends
and admirers. In his declining health he
has been tenderly and patiently nursed by
devoted wife, and to her and the children
the coincidence of the entire community is
extended. Mr.. Carpenters life was insur-
ed in the Royal Arcanum for $4,000. A
kind husband, an indulgent father. a good
citizen has gone to his reward. Peace to
his ashes.
