The newly arrived immigrants who
came to Chester have been so well
treated and assigned to satisfactory
places. under the direction chiefly OF
Messrs Boney and Scott, Of the
Springstein mills, that others have
been attracted hither, some Of them
tradesmen who had not settled down
and some others who were discomfort
ed at other places. About thirty-five
arrived yesterday afternoon. Among
these are farmers, mechanics, carpen-
ters, bricklayers and painters, and a
few house maids. Any one desiring to
secure any Of these are requested to
apply at the office Of the Springstein
mills without delay, as the people want
to get to work. 49,. Mrs. w. b. Will
liams Of Yorkville, spent last night
here on her return from a visit to rel
atives in Union. :. Mr.. John F. Cloud
Of Chester, and Miss Sallie Bell Of Ian

November 25, at 1890 o'clock at the
home Of the bride, by the Rev. w. A.
Beckham AT a dance on Mr.. S. M.
B. Stroud's place Friday night, which
lasted until the early hours Of Saturday
morning. Bert Wilson got to shooting
around and when demonstrated with he
asked what any one had to do with 1t.
When Maggie Knox made some remark
about these Wilson niggers," he fired
at her but missed and killed Bessie
Woodward. Richard Dixon took hold
Of him but he escaped, some say by the
help of others, and is still at large.
And still it grows. In addition to the
gathering Of the veterans on December
18th, their entertainment, the presence
Of Governor Ansel and DR.. Wharton's
lecture that night, there is to be a
battalion drill, participated in by the
Hazelwood Rifles and the companies at
Yorkville, Rock Hill and Fort Mill;
and Gen. Frost will be here too. 1t is
expected that the railroads will give
special rates and the trains will all
come in packed with visitors. Then
General R. R. Hemphill, the champion
Of the Lost Cause" and the truth of
history will be here. We were just
suggesting that he be asked to speak
on the errors of Confederate history or
anything else he wanted to talk about,
when Col Reed informed us that he had
already been invited. There will be
plenty of music, both day and night,
and the songs will be strictly orthodox,
such as Dixie. Bonnie Elolse, Mocking
Bird-the good old version without the
variations-Boys of the Sixties and
Southern Girl Tenting on the Old
Camp Ground will have to abide with
out the camp on that occasion. 1t is
good enough in its place. but its right
to a place in the Confederate canon has
been disputed, and everything on the
programme on the 18th Of December
must be above suspicion. The exer-
else of the day and the night are un-
der separate auspices. The exercises
Of the day are under the direction Of
Col. ]. w. Reed, the Walker-Gaston
