cumstances. Misfortune seems to fol-
low close upon the footsteps Of this
same child, as 1t has not been very
long since it swallowed some carbolic
acid, which burned its throat severe
ly and came very near causing Its
death, and now this recent accident
has disfigured 1t for life. Mr.. and Mrs.
Robertson have the sympathy Of the
entire city in this their second affiic-
tion during the past few months; and
we sincerely hope that the little suffer-
er may soon recover.

intimation Of anything being wrong:

Sunday morning, October the 14th, from
paralysis. Mr.. Collins was brother
in-law Of Dr. Dixon and Mrs. H. P.
Allison, having married their Oldest
sister, Miss Matte A. Dixon. He is
we'll remembered here and many
friends will sympathize with the sore
ly bereaved family.......Mr. Beattie
Burton and Miss Essie George, both Of

the bride on September the 22d. .On

CHESTER-Lanterr, October 26: The
entertainment committee of the Metho-
dist church have homes within the cor
porate limits for all members Of the
annual conference, which will meet
here November 28th. A number OF
families out Of town kindly offered to
entertain delegates; but 1t was thought
best to assign homes in town, so that
members can attend all the meetings
without subjecting their hosts to any
Inconvenience for transportation. OF
course the congregation will be pleas
led to have the people from the country
around attend the services, and they
will be free to invite any company they
may wish. The Rev. J. E. Grier says
he believes that on an occasion of this
LIT, ofc q
by the families in their homes and by
individuals at boarding houses in Ches-
ter, than in any other town in the state.
OF course some other towns can enter
tain more; but it will be found that
many of them are provided for by a
committee at the expense Of fund
raised for the purpose. There is no ne
+cessity for that here. Another thing
has been mentioned by a member Of
the committee, and the same has been
noticed on previous occasions. More
delegates wish to come to Chester than
to almost any other place. Inquiries
have been sent to the members OF the
conference, with return cards, and Of
all heard from only one has said that
he did not expect to attend. OF course
there will be some who cannot come.
