A Commendable Work a. Red Hill.

Commendable Work al Red Hill.
A work has been inaugurated by the
citizens of Red Hill school district that
means great deal to every one interested
in the moral and spiritual status of the
community. A Sunday school has been
in progress at the school house for seve-
raj months. The people seem to be
moved and are turning out in handsome
numbers. They seem to realize the
need of such an institution at that place,
and are supporting it in a way that
speaks we'll for their earnestness and
zeal. Not being satisfied with this ac-
complishment, they met last Thursday
night and started a prayer meeting,
which will be held every Thursday night
at early candle light With such an au-
spicous beginning, they can reasonably
expect good results. Rev. M. Gam
brell Holland has been preaching oc-
oasionally, and arrangements are be-
ing made to begin a series of
meetings some time soon. These
meetings are strictly undenominational,
nothing but the advancement of the
cause, and the consequent good of the
community, being considered. Every
body is invited to attend all these
meetings, and a warm welcome awaits
ALL without any regard, whatever, to
their creeds.

Death Of a Good Young Man.

Major A. Dean, one of Anderson's
leading young business men and most
popular citizens, died in the Riverside
Hospital, in Charleston, last Wednesday
night, July %, after undergoing an ope-
ration for appendicitis. He had been
suffering intensely for several days pre-
vious to his being carried 70 Charleston
for treatment. The operation was de-
layed too long, it is thought, to save the
young mans life. Mr.. Dean was 80 years
old and leaves a wife, who is daughter
of Capt. w. G. Smith, and son ~ years
old. He was the senior momber of the
firm of Dean & Ratliffe, and was closely
identified with everything pertaining to
the good of Anderson. His remains
were brought back home for interment,
and the funeral services were cond ducted
on Friday afternoon at 430 O'Clock in the
First Baptist church of Anderson, of
which the deceased was devoted and
consecrated member. The services were
most impressive and were attended by a
large concourse of sorrowing friends of

in the zenith of young manhood's days
one of the nobility of earth. At the
conclusion of the funeral discourse the
body was carried to Silver Brook Come

to await the resurrection of the just.
