Divine services are held every Sum
day afternoon ut o'clock in the City
Hall, and are of such character as to
render them hi hly instructive and
pleasing to members of all denOmina-
tions. They are in the nature of union
services, being conducted in rotation,
as near as possible, by the ministers of
the different denomi ations. Every
one is cordially invited, strangers
spending Sunday in the city, especially.
Professors j. Fl. Ruebush and j. H.
Hall, of Dayton, Va, are spending a
short time in this County teaching
music. They come highly recommend
ed. Prof. Ruebush has taught eight
years in the Kee Mar Conservatory,
Hagerstown, Md, and both gentlemen
are said to stand at the top of their
profession. They are teaching at Mid
way this week and will teach a class in
this city from the 9th to the 10Th in

stalation of the officers of Chiquoll
Ledge, No. 80, knights of Pythias, in
the Court House, to which the public
is invited to attend. Several OF the
officers of the Grand Lodge will be
present and conduct the ceremonies,
after which there will be two or three
short addresses on Pythianism. This
will be an interesting occasion, and the

Miss Maggie E. Tribble, sister Of our
young townsman, c. E. Tribble, in the
Clerks Office, has taken charge of the
Sunday Springs school for this year.
Miss Tribble is a graduate Of Winthrop
and has been teaching at Elberton,
Ga. She is an excellent teacher, and
the Sandy Springs school is to be con-
graduated. For the past two weeks
Miss Tribble has been the guest of Mrs.
G.. N. C. Boleman. She entered upon
the work of her new field Monday.
The storerooms occupied by Thos.
D. Cooley and Harper & Latimer at
Lowndesville were destroyed by fire
last Friday night. Mr. Cooley occu
pied the first and second floors of the
two-room brick building belonging to
his brother, Mr.. d. X. Cooley, on
which there was no insurance. The
one-story brick building and the con-
tents of Harper & Latimer were fully
covered by insurance. The fire is
thought to, be the work Of an incen-
diary.
We chronicle with great sadness the
fact that Rev. VIM. Aiken Kelly, pas
tor of the Magnolia Street Methodist
Church, has been missing for nearly two.
weeks. He was in Charleston on a
visit and disappeared from there sud-
denly, and II ere has not been the
slightest trace of him since. 1t is be-
lievcd that his mind has been tempo
rarily unhinged by hard and continuous
mental application preceding his Con-
ference examinations. Diligent search
has been made in Charleston and other
places, but there is no news of him
whatever. His many noble qualities
of head and heart have endeared him
to the people of Sumter, who earnestly
hope that he may be safe, and soon re-
turn to his work here.-Sumter Herald.
Mr.. Kelly was formerly pastor of the
Townville Circuit, in this County, and
his many friends in this section will
read with sorrow the above paragraph.
The Seneca correspondent Of the
Kcovee Courier, under date of the 27th
ult., says "After severe illness, ex-
tending through several months, Mrs.
C. w. Moore died early Friday morn
ing. Funeral services were conducted
Saturday by Rev. w. S. Hamiter at the
Presbyterian Church, and the inter
ment took place at the cemetery here.
Several years ago, as Miss Nora Rob-
erts, Mrs. Moore assisted Prof. Moore
in school here. Prof. and Mrs. Moore
have spent good part OF their married
life in Seneca. Mrs. Moore leaves four
children-two girls, Misses Dana and
Wyona, and two boys, L. j. and Worth.
Mrs. Keys, of Anderson, was with her
sister, Mrs. Moore, during the last days
OF her illness, and another sister, Miss
Kebc Roberts, came to attend the
funeral. Mrs. Moore had many friends,
who feel much sympathy for Prof.
Moore and the other members of the
family" The deceased was daugh-
ter of the late Col. L. j. Roberts, and
has many friends in Anderson who will
regret to hear Of her death.
