CHESTER-The Lantern, February
8: There will be a series of meetings
at the Edgmoor A. r. p. church
commencing on Friday before the 3rd
Sabbath. The pastor will be assisted
by Rev. S. J. Patterson, of Steele
Creek, N. c. Services at IL and s
o'clock. All are cordially invited to
these services. .........Mr. /. n. Cross
has received telegrams bringing the
sad news that his oldest brother, Geo.
w. Cross, was killed Tuesday by an
explosion at Rock Run, near Annis-
ton, Ala. He was about So years old,
and left wife and nine children, none
of them small, however. ''''''" At the
annual meeting of the A. R. p. church,
held Wednesday afternoon, the most
interesting item of business was the
report of Mr.. T. H.. White, treasurer
of the building committee. The re-
ceipts exactly balanced the debt.
When he said, ave have nothing on
hand aud owe nothing" there was no
hand clapping; but many hearts fiut-
tered applause, every eye looked
moist, and the prayers of thanksgiving
that followed came from joyful hearts.
We may say here that we cannot re-
member to have heard of single MUIR
.mur of discord among the members of
The building committee or of the congre'
CATION during the process of building,
and we doubt that church was ever
built where all members cheerfully con-
lributed according to their several
ability. The committee had vexations
enough but they did not come from
within. They came from disagree
ment between the contractors and con-
sequent interruption Of the work, the
failure of those who were to supply
materials to deliver them according TO
engagement, and other like causes.

the following: Whereas, our esteemed

only upon the present, but in higher
degree upon generations which are to
follow us and whereas, an act of this
kind does, and Of right should, chal-
lenge the admiration, command the
respect, and provoke the heartfelt
thanks of all right thinking people I;
he it resolved, that we, in council as.
sembled, and for the city of Chester,
give and hereby tender to Mr.. Wylie
our thanks for his useful gift to our
city, our assurance of our high appre-
citation of the thoughtful kindness
which prompted it. Be it resolved,
that we, feeling how impossible it is to
express our feelings in words for so
splendid a gift, however, by these reso-
utions, and give expression to our feel
ings of gratitude for the noble Chris,
tian spirit which prompted the giver
to bestow upon the city of Chester
such fitting monument to his good
