The News OF Rcmbert.

Rembert, April 10.-Yesterday was
blustery and cold so we feared that
If those folks came from Sumter
they would find snail crowd to talk
to. They came sure enough in a lit
ney, and We're ahead Of time and the
people began to pour in from the
four corners so that the little church
was almost filed to oyeraowing.
Mr.. Hurst, superintendent of the
Sunday school OF Trinity took Charge
Of the meeting and after one or two
songs. Miss Eloise Sanders at tie or
gan, and prayer by tho pastor, Mr.
Derrick introduced +. ID. Epps, Esq
who after few lifting remarks as to
the prime requisites of q successful
school discussed to the instruction Of
all the lesson of the day.
After him was introduced DR.. r. S.
Truesdale who in a splendid address
discussed, to the delight Of all, COM
munity work, emphasizing the Inn
portance of getting together. staying
together in the great work OF the
Sunday school. Mr.. Hurst also made
a few fitting remarks as also Mr..
Stubbs, secretary of the county organ
ization.
Besides these brethren. Mr., L e.
White and son were present from
your City.
Every one expressed himself a.
pleased with the success of the occa-
sion. Many representatives were pree-
,ent from the Episcopal church and
McLeods at Rembert. also two from
New Hope Baptist church.
Until folks are more concerned
about the honor of Christ, being more
panied at any reflection on His name
and cause than about the family name
and honor they are lacking in the
proper amount of godliness.
The other day passing down Main
street of your city, we saw what
might easily have caused serious
conflagration. A little tot with its
nurse. struck q niatch.-and threw it
on the edge of a scuttle hole. Look
ing in we saw dry paper and other
inflammable matter that could easily
have been set on fire. We spoke to
the nurse about it and cautioned her
to watch such things Whether she
gave the child the match do not
know.
r. Il. Atkinson was in your city
