A GOOD WORK.
The Parochial Mission at ST. john s
Episcopal Church.

The mission services at ST..
Johns church are attracting a
great deal of interest and this was
evidenced from the increased and
increasing attendance at them.
DR.. Lloyd's sermons are practical,
earnest and convincing, and his
descriptions of the church and her
teaching must draw those who
hear towards the religious life.
Services are held at s a. m, 4 D.
M, and 5 p. M, and at this last
service the missioner sings a suit
able solo, which gives great salts
faction. DR.. Lloyd announces a
special service for children at
3 O'Clock Friday afternoon, and a
meeting for men only will be held
in the church at 4 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. TO these services as
to all the others all are cordially
invited. The missioner answered
several questions sent in at last
nights service. There can be lit
tie doubt of the great amount Of
good that is being done by the St.
Johns mission. The subject for
tonight will be, "Wby should be
Confirmed?"

KILLED AT THE ELECTION.
A RoIIlcking Time at Hicksville
Precinct.

There was very little interest
taken in the Cherokee election
during the campaign, but
they certainly had hot time yot-
ing at the Hicksville precinct, in
Tahlequah district Yesterday.
Disorder and drunkenness prevailed
Notwithstanding it is said there
were two or three deputy marshals
on the ground, among whom was
Jim Cook, besides the guards, who
had been appointed to assist in
keeping the peace. They took
very little interest in trying to
corral the drunken Indians and
when Ben Ketcher was shot down
and killed, by Jack Woford, it is
said that there was not even an
attempt made to arrest him. Ketch-
er is reported to have been drunk
and quarrelsome all through the
day and Wofford, his slayer, was
one of the guards. We have also
understood that Ketcher and
brother of Jack Wofford was in a
fight at the time the latter stepped
up and shot him. Both of the
parties to the sad occurrence have
friends and are in fairly good
stan ding with the people who
knew them. Wagner Sayings.

Secretary States Whites to Be In

The secretary OF the interior, in
letter on the subject of laying
out towns, says: "Tbe laying out
of townsites in the territory is one
of the most difficult problems with
which the commission has to deal
and is causing them the most
worry. There are a great many
whites in the territory who have
made improvements, and who la
Dor under the delusion that they
have vested rights which cannot
be disturbed or infringed upon in
the laying out of townsites. AS a
matter OF fact these people have
no vested rights; they are iEtru-
ders, and, while it is not intended
that the commission shall deal
with them harshly, it is the inten-
tion to give little heed TO their
private interests where these in
terests are directly inimical to the
public welfare. Otherwise the
laying out of townsites would be
an impossible task =

The County Normal.

The Summer Normal for Anderson
County began last Monday, the 3rd
inst. Prof. Thos. G.. Walton, OF the
Anderson Graded School. and Miss Ella
Thurston, Of Columbia, are in charge.
These teachers have had large expert
ence in Normal work, and can do us
good service. This is a splendid op
portunity for our teachers to receive q
free course of instruction. The teach
ers who attend will unquestionably
have the advantage Of those who stay
away. The County Board insists that
all teachers shall attend this Normal,
and can renew certificates for no teach
er who does not attend.
At the close of the Normal there will
be an examination for teachers GER
tiicates, held by the County Boerd and
those who failed in the recent exami-
nation will have another opportunity
to try for certificates.
Hon. J. ]. McN1ahan, our State Su-
perintendent OF Education, will visit
us during this school, and he is anxious
to meet all the teachers in the County
if possible.
Our teachers who are attending the

presence and therefore VIC expect you

Death of Mrs. Jackson.

Last Wednesday morning = o'clock
Mrs. Elvira L. Jackson, relict OF the
late Alexander G. Jackson, died at her
home at Storeville, in this County, and
the announcement of her death was no
shock to her intimate friends and
neighbors, who knew that she was
rapidly approaching deaths door. She
had been in feeble health for the past
fourteen months, and about a year ago
went to Baltimore, where an operation
for an internal trmor was performed
butwithout success. Though suffering
great bodily pain during these long
months, she bore her affliction with
that patience characteristic of devot-
ed Christian and calmly awaited the
summons of death.
Mrs. jackson was daughter OF the
late John Fielder, Of Spartanburg
County, where she was born and rails
ed, and was in the 18th year Of her age.
About forty years ago she with her
husband and family moved to this
County and settled on the plantation
where she died. By her marriage SIX
children we're bOrn-four sons and two
daughters. Her husband and two
daughters preceded her to the grave.
In her girlhood she joined the Nazareth
Presbyterian Church, in Spartanburg
County, and when she moved to An
derson County she transferred her
membership to varennes Church, where
her remains were buried last Wednes-
day afternoon, the funeral services
being conducted by her pastor, Rev. I'll.
C. Fennel.
Mrs. Jackson was a woman OF the old
school. Hers was q rapidly passing
type OF womanhood. Home to her was
a woman's sphere, and the duties OF
wife and mother she believed were
best calculated to polish womanhood
after the simihtude Of the palace. She
was woman OF strong character,
bright intellect and true affections.
She was faithful wife, devoted
mother, a kind and sympathetic neigh
Dor. Above all she was an earnest
and humble Christian. She lived to do
good, and the world was made brighter
and better by her living in it. She
will be missed in her Church and her
neighborhood. She lived to see her
four sons grow up to be worthy, upright
citizens, who were a Joy and comfort to
her in her declining years. In their
sore bereavement they have the SYM
pathies of wide circle of friends.

AS usual, Rev. J. +. Singleton filed
his regular appointment last Sabbath
morning. He certainly told us some
plain truths, some that hit each and
every one OF us. So let us all earnestly
try to do betterin the future, especially
in going to Saturday preaching. First
Saturday in August our protracted
meeting will begin.
A picked crowd OF girls and boys
went on a pic mic excursion last Satur-
day afternoon. TO say we had gay
time is useless, for if ever any Of the
crowd enjoyed anything better they
won't own it. The boys furnished the
wagon and team, and after going
around to gather up their girls, rolled
out for Jolley's Springs. After Il rough
but much enjoyed ride, we reached the
place about 4 o'clock and stayed till
in the evening, when delicious sup
per was served and we started for
home. We yelled two favorable pic
mic yells, sang and had a good time in
general until we got home about Il
o'clock that night. We want to return
our thanks to the nice and gentle boys
who made up the crowd, and say we
would like to so on another one soon
or 'sstraw ride"
AS there was a mistake made in the
INTELLIGENCER as to the night we
would have Children's night, it was
feared it would keep a lot of people
from coming, but can't see where so
many people came from, and think
that Lebanon need never fear crowd
on any occasion whatever any more.
We must say we enjoyed Mr.. Y. l. Mas
ter's address, for it was so appropriate.
Lebanon certainly appreciates the COM
pliment passed on her through the
Baptist Courier.
A reception was given at the resi-

lor was scene OF much mirth and
merriment, coupled with the sounds OF
sweet music and joyous laughter. The
evening was calm and lovely, the stars
beautiful and serene, which gave evi-
dence sufficient to show that the even
ing's pleasure was complete. We hope
Miss Coventon will like our community
we'll enough to make her stay a long
one with us for we are sure every one
of us like her.
