We are told that as men, women
and children were employed by j.
+, & j. s. Carter as clerks, cashiers,
bundle boys, etc., during the latter
part of last week. We dropped in
one morning to try and make the
count but were unsuccessful.

The young men composing the BIZ
BILE class of the Presbyterian Sabbath
School were SO pleased with their
meeting held few weeks ago at
which there were debates, lectures,
Bible reading and social features, that
they have decided to hold another
meeting on Thanksgiving evening.
This meeting will be held at the
church, but will not be open for the
public-only members of the class

ers, will have something to say.
Several ladies from Westminster
attended the flower and baby show
at Seneca last Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
1t Is remarkable how far away a
persons name and influence will
sometimes reach. A few weeks ago
Miss Sarah B. Anderson, bright,
sweet young lady of Westminster re-

girl. The letter was written by Lieut..
James e. Anderson, of San Juan,
Balamgiga, Samar, Philippine Is
lands, under date of August 81. 1t
reached Manila on September 14th
and arrived here on October 21st.
Lieut.. Anderson was told by his guide
that he was the only American by
that name on the island. The letter
Is we'll written and shows that the
acquaintance was totally unknown
until he came across Miss Andersos's
name on the island under peculiar
circumstances, and it is the suppo-
sition that he found her name and
address carved on tree. We VEN
ture to say that Lieut.. Anderson
could not have run across the name
of an American girl more popular
and better admired at her home
town than "Sweet, Smiling Sarah"
Two track teams have been or
ganized by the High School pupils.
| Profs. Brockman and Cox are at their

Miss Geraldine Hughs, of Rich
land, who has been with J. & J.. S.
Carter during the fall, returned home
to-day.
Thos. Bibb had some ripe straw
| berries that were fully matured on
| November 1st. This is rather re-
markable and unusual. We do not
remember having heard before of
fall crop OF strawberries. Mr. Bibb
also noticed blossoms and few
very small peaches on his trees
| week or so ago. Apple and cherry
| trees frequently blossom in the fall,
| but we have never known peach
trees to do anything like that.
w. s. Haley, Of Lavonia, was here
yesterday.
We learn that Mon. Jones, of Madi-
| son, has bought the Methodist par
isonage and will build 1t a story higher
and move here this winter. Mr..
Jones, we understand, will build
fiye-room house in the rear of the
present parsonage, which will be oc-
cupied by the preacher. The lot has
been divided and portion sold to
MFR. Jones.
Robert Grogan, we'll known
freight conductor on the Southern,
lost his life in an accident at Ar
mour. six miles from Atlanta, last
Saturday. Both legs and one arm
were cut off by a box car passing over
him. Mr. Grogan lived only two
hours. He resided at 313 Luckie
street, Atlanta. 1t will be recalled
| that he and Mies Morn potfop oP
Toccoa, were the principals of
at the Westminster Hotel three years
ago, while Brewer Stark, another
railroad man. was in readiness TO
claim Miss Patten for his bride.
On November 8, 1860, Thomas
Bibb lead to Hymen's altar Miss Mar
tha Elizabeth McElroy. On last Sab
bath, November 8, the children,
grandchildren and one great grand
child gathered at the home Of father
and mother to celebrate the 48th an
niversary of their marriage, and
spend one more happy day together.
All seemed to become children again,
and mother and father were dearer
than ever to them. "reminiscences
Of happy childhood days were ex-
changed and the hearts Of the old
couple We're made glad by the
thoughtfulness Of their children. At
about 1.30 the dining room was
thrown open and dinner announced,
and oh! what dinner! Everything
good to eat. The table fairly groan-
ed with meats, pickles, salads, pies,
custards, cakes. crackers, candies,
fruits, etc., each family having
brought well-flled basket.
