Miss Margaret johnson and Caro-
lyn Cromer, Of Newberry, visited
Miss Della Bowers this week.
Mr.. Effingham Ridgell, a popular
! commercial tourist of Batesburg is in
the city.
Quiet reigns once more on our
streets. The jolly college crowd, that
came home to enjoy Easter cessa-
ton from studies, has resumed (?)
them. Yet we fancy that they have
not entirely eliminated from their
minds and hearts certain fair maids
, and certain stunning Easter bonnets
and mothers excellent cakes and
pies and sweetmeats-and admo-
nitions to be good and make rec
ord in classes.
We are getting ready to revel in
the ideal weather that seems to be
coming our way. Like the Furnish
ed dove" and "a young mans
fancy" We are preparing to accom-
modate ourselves to the changed con-
ditions and let them affect us as they
will.
Miss Marie Latham, of Little
Mountain, visited at Wise Hotel this
week.
The Palmetto club will be enter
tanned by Mrs. G.. Y. Hunter on Fri
day afternoon. Women martyrs
particularly "The Mail Of Orleans''
will be reviewed at this hour. Ap-
propriate music will be, rendered.

disposed last week as not to be able
to meet his appointments last Sum-
day, has recovered sufficiently to be
out once more.
Nj. George Harmon has returned
from the Atlanta Dental College.
We are glad that Mr.. A. Logan
Wyse called attention to the over
sight of DR.. Asa F. Langford 5
efforts in connection with Samps
Bridges and the Wallace House in
'76. The role Of peaeemaker was es-
sentially DR.. Langford's. He is even
now surely enjoying the reward Of
which a certain beatitude speaks.
Eternity alone will reveal "the little
nameless acts of kindness and Of
love" that follow in the wake of this
mans long and useful career as a
citizen and physician. None were ever
too Door to claim his time and skill !;
the weather was never too extreme
for him to brave, and he was never
too busy to minister to the wants OF
anyone, irrespective Of color, who
chose to come to him.
We are sorry to state that Mrs.
Jacob Shealey, mother of our towns
man, Mr.. D. I. Shealey, was stricken
with paralysis several days ago. 1t
gives US equal pleasure to say that

in the Mt. Tabor congregation. She
has been an active member for more
than so years. In an early issue Of
The Lutheran Church Visitor the pic
ture Of Mr.. and Mrs. Shealey and
their large, interesting and unbroken
family Of children will appear.
DR.. Cromer's talk on Sunday morn
ing was of high order. He received
undivided attention throughout his
discourse. His opening remark was
"Wbat has Easter to do with mis-
sions. Why a missionary talk at Eas-
ter-time?' He wove together beau
tifully and deftly nature, illustration
and story to show how these two are
unseparably linked together. His treat
ment of the subject was novel and
convincing. The singing and responses
bv the children were well rendered.
Miss Annie Laura Lester made a
flying trip to Columbia this week.
Mrs. Claud Singley spent the Eas-
terrible with friends in Columbia.
