ing in Winnsboro. last Friday bought
s32,5O0 worth of cotton, and the two

been married in the A. R. P. church
here, according to previous announce
ment, Rev. J. S. Moffatt, D. D., brother
of the bride, officiating. "The prettiest
wedding I have ever seen," was the

The Presbyterian church was packed
and overflowing Sabbath night on the
occasion Of his farewell sermon, as
pastor. His text was taken from the
last two verses Of the eighth chapter
of Romans. The sermon was not de-
voted to himself or his leaving but to
the Gospel, and he would have entirely
departed from his invariable practice
If he had not preached fine sermon
and he did not thus depart. So far
as we know, tie congregation has been
thoroughly ur ted during his pastor
ate, and has grown very much in num-
Der, and the regrets at his departure
are not confined to his own congre-
CATION, by any means. Genial and full
of good humor, he was welcomed In
and group, and found friend In
every one he met. There is perhaps
no one in Chester and few anywhere
better inform, on current literature,
or literature III general, for that mat
ter. He will be greatly missed, and he
will always have a cordial welcome
awaiting him in Chester.
