AT the Annual Conference of the
Wesleyan Methodist Church of South
Carolina, held at Greer last week,
Rev. l.. Rigdon, of Salem, was reap
pointed to the Walhalla Circuit for
the ensuing year. This circuit re-
mains the same as it was last year.
Rev. S. l. keeler, of Central, was
elected president of the Conference
for the next year.
THANKSGIVING services were
held last Thursday morning at the
High School Auditorium. The con-
gregation was lot overly large,
though about the average for the an
nual union Thanksgiving service.
Dr.. J. l.. Stokes, Of the Methodict
church, was absent attending the ses-
sion Of Annual Conference The
services were conducted by Revs. j.
b. Umberger, Of the Lutheran
church; G.. NJ. Wilcox, of the Pres
byterian. and \. G. Ballenger, Of the
South Carolina Methodist Conference,
the latter preaching an excellent SER
mon. The collection was, as usual,
for the Orphanages Of the different
denominations, and about $40 in all
was raised.
Quite a Soodly number OF citi-
zens Of Walhalla took advantage Of
management Of the Walhalla Hotel
last Thursday and enjoyed The splen-
did service at that hotel. The din
ner served on this occasion was
most delightful one, splendidly pre-
pared and admirably served. Mr..
and Mrs. Zeigler, the new managers,
are lending every energy to the
bringing of their hotel to the highest
standard of service, and .hey are
succeeding admirably. The hotel
was formally opened yesterday, and
the managers are preparing to make
their guests comfortable in all re-
spects at all times. The dining room
service is equal to any given by the
best houses in this section and far
and away superior to that of the av
erage city hotel.
The Hetrick Hosiery Mills have
recently been shipping quite large
quantities Of hosiery from Walhalla
for Canadian and foreign houses.
Last week one shipment OF AZ cases
went to one firm in Montreal, Can
ada, while another went to a differ
ent firm in the same place Ten cases
were also shipped out last week for
export to England. These cases
vary in size, containing from sixty
to eighty dozen pairs Of hose. These
local mills, under the present man
agement, have attained high
standard among the hosiery manu-
facturers of the United States, and
they are bending every energy to
maintain their reputation. A new
and gratifying feature OF the pres
cnt-day shipments is that one re-
quiremcnt almost always accompa-
nies the pecifications, and that is
that the labels shall bear in plain,
bold print the words made in
L. S. A."
There are not few in this and
other sections of the county and
State who will be interested in the
information that Mrs. Lucy Burriss,

of Seneca, were married at CornClia,
Ga, last Wednesday. Friends of the
contracting parties here mad antici-
pated hearing this announcement for
some time, yet the arrival Of the
bride and groom proved a pleasant
surprise to not a few. They reached
Walhalla Thursday evening, going to
the Terrace Hotel, where hey will
make their home for the present. Mr..
HOlleman is an employee of the
Southern Railway at Seneca, but will
for the present reside in Walhalla,
going down on the early train and
returning on the night train. The
bride is well known throughout Oco-
nee, being the widow Of tho late
Claude Burriss, and before her first
marriage was Miss Lucy Mcdonald.
The groom is the youngest son Of
