citation, was in the city Monday night
and part of yesterday He occupies
very responsible position which he
has held for many years. and his pres
ent position in the railway service
stamps him rs the man who looks after
the matter of demurage which 80 much
concerns our merchants. He states
that the collection per month, in this
line, is much greater than would be
thought by our people generally, or
our merchants either.
Our people have been instructed and
delighted by the sermons and lectures
of Rev. II. x. Shimmon, q native Per-
sian. He preached at the Central Pres
byterian Church Sunday morning and
at the First Baptist Church Sunday
night and delivered o lecture at the
City Hall last night, illustrating by
stereopticOn views much Of the habits
and.customs of his native people. For
three years Mr.. Shimmon has been
studying at the Columbia Theological
Seminary preparing himself for the
Christian ministry. His studies are
finished and he will shortly return to
Persia to preach to his people.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mr.. Luther s. Bigby, ege 80, which
occurred at Williamson last Saturday

children. He was fully identified with
the business interests of Pelzer, sue
cessful to a remarkable degree for one
of his age, kind, considerate, just and
honorable. To q remarkable degree he
had the confidence and hearts of the
people, constantly bestowing favors
and acts Of kindness. ALI of his large
circle of acquaintances will miss him,
and they join the family in the great
bereavement which falls upon them in
the loss Of 30 kind and affectionate
