/. The revival which has been in
progress here at the Baptist church is
largely attended, the auditorium at
the evening services being packed.
Rev. Mr.. Fuller, who is assisting Mr..
Brooke, is very forceful and mag
netic speaker, and is doing a great
work here. That there is real re-
vival going on in the hearts of ap-
parently all who sit under the word
is seen to be manifested. The young
people are taking a great interest,
and at each evening service, a third
of the center pews is always filled.
The singer, Mr.. Hoffman, has organ
lied these into Alaho choruses, and
as they come marching in in body,
and so sweetly sing their songs, they
are singing Christ into their hearts
and into the hearts of others. There
is a junior choir that is aiding the
senior choir, and the orchestra makes
the music all the more beautiful. The
meeting will continue on through
this week.
On Sunday Rev. w. S. Brooke
went to Greenwood to fill the pulpit
of Mr.. Fuller, and in the afternoon,
Mr.. Fuller preached at Trenton for
Mr.. Brooke.
Rev. w. S. Brooke went over to
Columbia on Saturday to perform
the marriage ceremony of Miss Lila
Sawyer and Mr.. Anderson, the happy
affair taking place at noon. The
bride resided here for a few years,
and since the death of her father,
Mr.. Stan Sawyer, has made her
home in Columbia. Her friends here
watt many good wishes.
The football team of Newberry
came over on Friday and the John
ston team met with them on the field
here. The game was an exciting one
and all played well. but tn. Mewber-
ry team came out victorious. One Of
the players of the Newberry team
had the misfortune to get his arm
broken, and Victor Johnson, of the
local team, sustained some bruises.
All attention was given the unfortu-
nate man from Newberry, and he was
made as comfortable as possible be-
fore he left for home. The Johnston
team will play Abbeville on the Oath.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Butler have
the sympathy of all in the death of
their little baby which occurred dur
ing last Friday night. The little one
seemed apparently we'll, and on Sat-
urday morning when the mother
arose, she thought the baby sleeping
and did not disturb it. After the fam
lily had had the morning meal, she
again returned to see if it had
awakened to find that the baby was
dead. A physician was summoned,
and he stated that death was due to
some weak heart action, and death
had occurred during the night. The
little form was tenderly laid to rest
on Saturday.
