Lantern, April IS: The Rev. A. u.
Kirkpatrick, who Is known to many or
our readers, died at 1910 a. m, yes
terday in Due West. :. Miss Eva Hall
entertained the social club yesterday
afternoon. Twenty-six enjoyed Miss
Halls hospitality. 1t was a nut-crack-
ing occasion literally and metaphori-
cally. Various kinds of nuts were
served, nuts entered into the makeup
and flavoring Of the refreshments, and
the names of nuts were used In ques-
tions and answers. Cinderella slippers
and nut-crackers were presented as
souvenirs. Miss Ella Hicklin, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. J. R. Hicklin. of Richburg,
and Mr.. Claude Moore Of Sandy River,
were married Wednesday afternoon at
the Methodist parsonage at Richburg'
by Rev. w. A. Fairey. They spent
few hours in the city yesterday enroute
to Mr.. Moore's home. ...... Mr.. r. j.
Castles, who has been night operator
at the S. A. L. has given UP the 5oo
on account Of his health and moved
Wednesday to Thermal City, Mcdowell
county, N. C. For the present he Will
have charge Of a telegraph office IN
the city in place of his brother who is
sick but we understand he expects to
work for a lumber company. Mrs.
Castles and baby will stop over at
Smyrna, York county, for a few weeks
to visit her mother before going to
Thermal CITY. We hear some talk
of an effort on the part Of some OF our
enterprising young men to build
tourist hotel in or near our city. we
have nothing definite on the subject,
but are prepared to say to our readers
in confidence that the enterprise Is not
only a possibility but a probability
We haven't given the matter much
thought, but we cannot conceive OF
any reason why such thing should
not be just as successful in, and as
profitable to, Chester as say Aiken
Camden or Columbia. Situated as we
are upon the two main railway systems
between the north and the south, and
with climate, and in fact, every local
condition that could be desired, 1t
seems to US that this should be an
ideal place for the northern tourist.
Let everybody give this movement en-
couragement. The rich northerners
spend money wherever they go, and II
Chester ccn persuade colony Of them
to 20 into winter quarters here every
winter-and a first-class tourist hotel
l. is all the persuasion we need-every
material interest Of the city will be
benefited greatly. Here's wishing sue
cess to the movement.
