CHESTER.
| Lantern, June 10: Sol Sanders, a
thrifty colored man, drove into the
ford on a branch near Mr.. A. A. Grants
Saturday evening and his wagon was
swept down by the swollen stream.
The men in the wagon got out, with
some danger and difficulty, but could
do nothing for their horse and mule.
When the mule was last sera 1t was
going down stream with its feat abov"
water. They went home, and next
morning when they returned, to their
surprise, they found the mule standing
on the bank afraid to cross very
small stream which made the spot It
stood upon an island. 1t seemed that
the mule had freed itself from the
wagon by pulling its head through the
| names The horse was drowned. Sol
saw that the branch was much swol-
len, but. thought there could be no
danger as Mr.. Lem Allen had driven
through only a few minutes before,
not knowing how rapidly the water
was rising. =. According to previous
announcement Rev. w. H. Sheppard,
the colored missionary to Africa from
the Southern Presbyterian church, lee
tured at the Presbyterian church last
night to a full house. With him in the

Atkins and c. G. Brown, who took
some part in the service. For one
hour and twenty minutes Rev. Shep-
pard kept the closest attention Of the
large congregation, telling Of his jour-
ney, his many thrilling experiences and
the work that had been accomplished
in their mission stations, but any syn
opsis of the lecture would do him an
injustice and will not be attempted. He
showed some little shells used as mon
ey in Africa, some mats, a woman's
dress, a cannibal axe, a beheading
knife, a snake skin eighteen feet long
and a number of other curios from
Africa. His lecture was rare treat
and he is all that has been claimed for
him, an earnest trusting servant of
God. =. The following have been elect
