CHESTER-The Lantern, June 13 :
Rev. A. N. Brunson, of Yorkville,
spent Friday night with Rev. J. E.
Grier. Mr.. c. H. Scruggs, of Fair,
field county, father of Mr.. E. G.
Scruggs, of this city, died last Satur-
day morning, at the age of 76 years,
and was buried at the family burying
ground. He was a native of Newber-
ry county and was noted AS q shoe
maker. ...."At the late commencement
at Davidson college, Mr.. Moore Nc
Connell, brother of DR.. Mcconnell, of
this city, who was one of the graduates,
broke the record, we think. He car
ried off four out of the five medals Of
fered the class, and won the first hon
or. The Mcconnell stock is good
stock, and, with slight change of spell
ing, we might properly end this as we
begap-more Mcconnell ''''''''' Mr.. G.
B. Lee, Of Cornwell, lost his barn by
fire last Thursday morning about 4
o'clock, together with the contents,
some SO bushels of corn, !, 900 bundles
of fodder, some peas and other things.
The loss is estimated at 5000 or more,
and there was no insurance. The fire
is believed to have been iincendiary.
REV. Jas. G. Dale preached two
most excellent sermons at the A. X.
P. church last Sabbath. Mr.. Dale is
the young man who offered himself as
missionary at the meeting of synod
here last fall, on conditions that are
unusual. While placing himself under
the direction and control of the board
of foreign missions, he asked the board
for no support; dedicating himself
wholly to Gods work, he looks in faith
to God for support. Mr.. Dale has
been supplying the church in Column
bia. He will 60 to Mexico about Sep
tember. ........"The committee on enter
tainment will soon begin a canvas OF
the city to find out how many can be
entertained in each home at the vet
erans' reunion in July. You are re-
quested to be ready to tell the COM
mittee how many you can and will
take, if necessary, and also at what
price. ''...'"'At meeting of the vet
erans yesterday afternoon it was de-
termined to invite Bishop Capers to
deliver an address at the reunion, July
9th. Committees were appointed to
canvas the city and arrange for en-
tertainment of the veterans. All the
citizens are urged to aid in every way
possible, so as to do credit to Chester.
Arrangements were made to provide
ice water on the streets during the re-
union. Captain J. w. Reed, who had
been appointed chief marshal by Gen
eral Walker, was authorized to appoint
as many assistants as he may think
proper.
LANCASTER-Ledger, June IA:
Married, at this place, by Rev. Chal-
mers Frazer, Sunday last, Mr.. George
Funderburk and Miss Hattie Stogner.
Mrs. w. G. Adams, of Rock Hill,
who spent the past week with her Sis
ter, Mrs. Frank Walker, at this place,
returned home Monday .'''''''''At the
third quarterly meeting for Lancaster
station, held last Friday night, Major
]. M. Riddle and R. E. Allison, ESQ.,,
were elected delegates to the district
conference which meets at Rock Hill
next month. Messrs. w. H. Campbell
and w. H. Reed were elected alter
mates. s.....".PGrsuant to announcement,
Rev. Chalmers Fraser was duly in
stalled pastor of the Presbyterian
church at this place last Sunday morn
Ing. The sermon, preached by DR..
Thornwell, from the text, Genesis
v, 81 "a, was learned and very inter-
esling discourse. The doctor also de-
livered the charge to the pastor which
was replete in every particular. No
less plain, practical and appropriate
was the earnest charge of Rev. Mr..
Wilson to the congregation. The SER
vices were largely attended, the Meth
odist church being closed for the occa-
sion. At night the Presbyterian con-
gregation united with the Methodist
in services at the latter church. '''''''''
Waterworks for Lancaster, is the prin-
cipal topic of conversation now. IL IS
probable that the council will be asked
soon to order an election on the issuing
of town bonds for waterworks and
that is why the subject is being so
freely discussed by our citizens. Ot
course, everybody would like to have
waterworks provided they do not
come too high. Let US have the facts
about the cost, and what measure of
good we are to expect from the sys-
tenn. Lancaster has caught the pro-
gressive spirit of the age and we are
glad of it. We have no desire to put
single obstacle in the way of her pro-
gress, but before we can advocate a
system of waterworks, we must know
the cost. If we are convinced that
the benefits will be commensurate with
the cost, then we shall advocate water
works. Will some one give US the in
formation?
