CHESTER - The Lantern, March
%: Mr.. John Dallas died March 1S,
1900, at the home of his grandson,
John Dallas, Jr., aged 70 years, l
month and 10 days. The remains were
buried at New Hope church, of which
he had been a member for many years.
Funeral services were con Quoted by
the Rev. J. B. Traywick. Mr.. Dallas
leaves two surviving children, Mr.. w.
T. Dallas, of this county, and Mrs.
Jeff Sanders, of Fairfield county. The
deceased had been sick long time
with some kidney or bladder trouble.
......."The citizens Of Chester were
shocked this morning to learn that Mr..
Albert Steinkuhler was dead. He left
the store yesterday evening as usual.
After supper he complained of feeling
unwell but was not willing to have a
physician called. About 11.30, Mrs.
Steinkuhler found him gasping for
breath. DR.. Pryor was called and
reached him little after IL o'clock.
He found him still conscious but he
died in few minutes. He says death
was caused from heart affection result
ing from grip. 1--WE remarked some
time ago that these parlor rifles and
air guns are among the most danger
Gus, because they are thought to be
com paratively harmless. We have
seen a number of boys handling them
very recklessly, and we have been ex-
pecting to hear of an accident. 1t has
come. Ed, son of Ellison Reid, was
shot through the body few days ago,
at long range. 1t was thought that
he would die; but DOW his chances for
recovery are good. The guns was in
the hands of a white boy. We do not
know whether the gun was discharged
accidentally or was aimed at the boy
under the impression that it would do
no harm at so great a distance. Shoot
ing should not be allowed in town, and
boys should not be allowed to handle
guns till they know how dangerous
they are.

Byars. ......".Mrs. j. D. Mccullough,
wife of Rev. DR.. J. D. Mccullough.
died at her home in Walballa on Wed
nesday morning, after protracted ILL
ness. She was about 70 years of age,
and leaves husband, l2 children and
large number of relatives and friends
to mourn her demise. The deceased
lady and her pious husband were resi-
dents of Spartanburg for a long mum
ber of years in the past. DIR. Nc
Collough founded the St. Johns col
lege here and gave some very valuable
property to this institution, which is a
thing of the past. Mrs. Mccullough
was a pure, consecrated Christian lady
and her death will be mournsd by
many. The interest in the revival
meeting at the Limestone Street Meth
odist church continues to grow and the
capacity of the house is taxed to its
utmost every night to hold the crowds
who throng it to listen to the expoun-
ding of the gospel by the evangelist.
Mr.. Leitch has the reputation of being
hard hitter but no one can say that
he does not hit fairly. He says some
things that do not rest well on the
minds of the people who are guilty of
the sins he condemns; but no one has
the hardihood to say that he does not
tell them of their faults. Every night
large numbers accept the invitation OF
the evangelist to stand up for prayer.
Personally, Mr.. Leitch is very mag
netic man. He has his methods of
doing his work. He thinks that by
following the plans laid down he can
accomplish more good than he could
otherwise, therefore, he follows that
plan. To listen to him one might form
the impression that he is unkind and
very dogmatic, while in truth he is the
reverse. He is kind and gentle and
likes joke as we'll as anyone, and is
not averse to saying things that will
create laughter and merriment; but he
is no buffoon in the pulpit. Mr.. Mar
shall continues to delight the large
congregations with his sweet singing.
The meeting will continue through
next week, two services each day.
