CHESTER.
Lantern, October s: Mr.. Robert
Sloan, aged ninety years, an inmate OF
the county home died Wednesday
morning and was buried at Old Purity
graveyard yesterday. His sister, Miss
Sallie Sloan, aged about seventy years,
preceded him only ten days. She was
also an inmate Of the home. They
were natives of Ireland and the last of
q large family, .... We learned from
Mr.. j. H. Westbrook Of Bascomville,
this morning that Mr.. w. P. T. Jack
sonis very low with typhoid dysen-
terry. Two Of his children died within
the last few days Of the same disease.
Two others are very sick but are re-
ported as improving. Two Of his chill
dren died only a short time ago, per-
haps a month or two. One Of these
died suddenly and the other had ty-
phoid fever. -. Mr.. w. c. Landlord,
the accommodating and very efficient
agent at the s. A. L. depot, has re-
signed and will be succeeded by Mr.. j.
R. Courtney of Atlanta, who is here
to take his place. Mr.. Lankford has
several offers, but is undecided yet
which one he will accept, though he
expects to go further south. He ex-
poets to rest about three weeks as he
has not taken day off in three years.
The departure Of himself and family
will be a loss to Chester, but gain
wherever they CO.. The revival
meeting at the Baptist church, con-
Quoted by Rev. II. M. Wharton, d. D.,
was closed Wednesday night. The in
terest increased throughout the two
and half weeks and was intense to
the last moment. At some of the night
services chairs were set the whole
length Of the aisles, the edge Of the
pulpit platform was occupied, as we'll
as the baptistery behind the preacher.
the standing room at the rear Of the
auditorium was utilized, and yet some
were turned away. The ushers were
kind and attentive, but they were
helpless All the denominations joined
heartily in the services, and DR.. Whar-
ton repeatedly spoke Of his gratifca-
tion at this feature Of the meeting.
BY the way 1t is due to him to say that
while he preached the word faithfully
and made practical applications, there
was no reference to distinctive doc
trines. The entire series was planned
for the spiritual uplifting Of the whole
community. While very serious per-
sons of the straitest sect Of Presbyte-
rianism might have had their conser-
vatism Jared by DR.. Wharton's illus
trative and sleep -dispelling humor,
and while attempts at imitation would
most surely result in failure, yet the
hearer could hardly form an objection
until he was presented with truth
that compelled serious thought and
the swiftly moving picture that had
just provoked smile gave place to a
scene that demanded a tear. This
feature was not made prominent-only
an occasional salley-and, as used by
DR.. Wharton, the effect was possibly
good rather than otherwise. There
were fifty-on accessions to the church,
thirteen by letter, thirty-seven on pro-
fession and one by restoration. Be
sides these, a few made profession and
expressed the intention to join other
nesday night, as he had done before,
most feelingly Of the reception he had
been accorded in Chester, and ex-
pressed the hope that he might drift
back this way again. He goes this af-
ternoon to High Point, and from there
he will go to Savannah. His home Is
now in Philadelphia, but he is a native
Of Virginia.
