Steadman's father, DR.. J. G. w. Ken
nerly, at Batesburg. Rev. Mr.. Stead
man will leave for Lancaster this
morning.
Rev. J. M. Steadman was not at all
anxious to leave Yorkville. There
were many reasons why he would have
been glad to remain another year; but
he does not complain. He knows Lam
caster we'll to begin with, and has
many strong ties In that town. The
salary is better in Lancaster than here;
but to their credit be it said, this seems
to be an unimportant consideration
with most Methodist ministers.
Lancaster Ledger: Rev. A. N. Brun-
son and family left Thursday for Lau-
rens, where they will spend week
or so with relatives before going to
Mr.. Brunson's new charge at York
vile. 1t was a sore disappointment
that Mr.. Brunson was not returned to
Lancaster. He was universally loved
and esteemed and the church fully ex-
pected his return. His successor, Rev.
Mr.. Steadman, has been pastor here
before He is no stranger and will be
in the house Of his friends on his ar
rival, which will probably be next
Thursday.

tension of his church and Is also the

and of the McMillen fund, fund Of
thousands of dollars, the interest OF

ton of poor young men.
Mr. w. o. Rawls, superintendent of
the Yorkville water system, gave the
reporter few days ago a striking tes-
timonial as to the value of neatly
printed stationery as business help.
He said: When I first assumed the
duties Of superintendent Of the water
works, had occasion to make num-
ber of inquiries Of different plumbing
concerns, and it was with great difficult
ty, that I could get an answer to my
letters. Afterward I had some neat
letterheads printed, and then they not
only answered my inquiries by mail;
but sent their representatives here to
.Sas~me."
