We are requested t o
h a the dedication services for the
Walhalla Baptist church have been
postponed from e. Sunday to the
second Sunday in June. This was
made necessary by reason Of the fact
that ministers who have been invited
to attend and take part in the ser
vices are in attendance upon the
Baptist Convention at Nashville,
Tenn. Services will, however, be
held at the Baptist church both morn
ing and night next Sunday, when the
pastor will occupy the pulpit in the
new building for the first time.
While at work in the well OF
Lin Duckworth, who lives near
town, Lee Dean, colored, was over
come with gas n day last week.
He was quickly rescued by the helr.
ers at the well and a physician was
hastily summoned. After working
with Dear for some time he was
brought around all right. The wafer
in the well was several feet deep, but
Dean still had enough life in him to
give him strength to hold his heao
above the water. At first it was
almost impossible to get the helpers
to 20 in the well, but they were
finally persuaded to enter and brine
Dean to the surface.

The condition Of one of Wal
halla's oldest and most respected cit
liens, C. l.. Reid. continues critical.
and no hope is held out for his re-
covery. Mr.. Reid has been rapidly
failing for some weeks, suffering
from the infrmities of age and the
effects Of the many wounds received
during the Civil War. His children
have bee with him during the past
week, Charles S., OF Woodbury., re-
manning with him still. J. B. Reid
Of Batesburg, who is in the railway
service, was compelled to return to
his home Monday. We hope that
there may yet be a change for the
better, but little hope is held out to
that end.
