since any news from the Corner has
appeared in the columns Of your paper,
and being desirous that our progressive
neighborhood should have occasional
mention therein, we take the liberty OF
chronicling the following.
The school at Generostee opened
three weeks ago under the supervision
of Miss Fannie Abel, of Lowryville, S.
G.. Miss Abel comes into our midst
well recommended, and we feel safe in
saying thar sni,Aer he guidance and di-
rectiOn. the term 0f 1899 and 1900 will
be5one of success. The patroos are to
be congratulated for securing the ser
vices of one who is so eminently fitted
for the position to which she has been
called.
The trustees of Iva have secured the
services. Of Prof. j. Frank Harper Tor
the ensuing term, and as he has taught
there before with much success, we feel
safe in saying that the next session will
be one of success under his able man
agement. The school will open in a
short while.
Miss Sallie Sherard, who has been
visiting in Anderson recently, returned
home Sunday.
Mrs. Jep. Wilson spent Sunday with
relatives in the Corner.
Miss Genie OzmOnt is quite sick with
fever. We wish her speedy recovery.
Rev. R. G. Ligon had the misfortune
to lose Q valuable COW few days ago.
Miss Ella Sherard left few days ago
to take charge of u school near Roberts.
Iva is we'll connected with telephones,
one line running to Anderson by Starr
and Deans, another running to Antre-
vile, Level Land and other points,
another to Barnes and L0wndesville,
while there is private line running
from Iva to Mofettsville. AS the tele-
phone is something new, every one is
anxious to try it in order to prove its
merits. Ask someone in Iva to give
you his experience on last Sunday
night, and find out whether he en-
jOyed the imaginary conversation with
the young lady or not. Someone else
Nas at the phone. Guard well. young
man, and in future make certain to
,Whona you are talking.
J Mrs. D. j. Sherard, who has been
quite sick for some time, is again bet
ter. and we hope that she may soon be
restored to her wonted health.
Again the mighty angel of death has
visited our community and taken in his
icy grasp the soul of pure young
lady. Miss Ada McLeskey, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. F. Nc
Leskey, died Oct. 18th, after prOtract-
ed illness Of rheumatism of the heart.
She was thought to be doing very we'll
at dinner, but shortly after she became
worse, and in few minutes had
rbreathed her last on earth. Indeed it
was very sad to see family gathered
around the form of their dear, depart
ed one, and with what anguish and
ssOrrow of heart they mourn her de-
parture. Plucked Like flower from
the field by a Heavenly Fathers hand,
--justa she had grown into wOmanhOOd
-and with bright future before her, is
indeed mysterious. But we know that
"God moves in mysterious way"
and, while we do not understand His
methods, yet we know that He doeth
all things well, and it was best that she
should go. For some years she had
been member of the Methodist
Church at Starr, and during this time
she had led godly and exemplary life,
therefore her family have full reason
tie believe that.she is now with God in
Paradise, singing the blest song OF the
redeemed. Her remains were inferred
i'm Good Hope cemetery the following
day, after services conducted by Rev.
r. G.. Ligon. The bereayed family
have the full sympathy Of the entire
community in this sad hour OF deepest
sorrow. DRACO.
