Prof. VIM. S. Morrison, Of Glenn
son College, was in Walhalla yester-
day. Mr.. Morrison had Just returned
from the Pickens County Sunday
School Convention, and he was en-
thusiastic in his estimate Of that
meeting. ut was great" he said,
| "and the Gipsy Smith meeting to be
held at Seneca next month was not
forgotten. 1t was mentioned fre-
quently and endorsed heartily. I
have just recently been over in Rock
Hill, and the Gipsy Smith results
there are, still perceptible on every
hand" Mr.. Morrison is also antic-
1pating q great time when the Oco-
nee Sunday School Convention is
held.
The little old brick calaboose''
on Main street, Walhalla, has disap-
peared completely from view, in the
work of making preparations for the
erection Of city hall, fire depart
ment quarters and necessary office
rooms, as we'll as a town JAIL The
little building had about one-third
/ @ n n ftsnp l>,, a
raising the street some years ago,
and it's total obliteration is very
gartifying to ones vision. The new
building, of brick, is to cost SG,5OO,
and Will be Of two stories. The first
floor will be used to house the new
fire equipment called for in the pro-
visions Of the water system, while
the second story will be divided off
into office rooms for the council,
town treasurer, water commissioners
and light commissioners. The build
Ing will be all addition to that Sec
ton OF town and will prove a great
conveinece in every way to the varl-
Gus branches Of the local govern
ment. The town Jail will be- located
on the first floor and will be so placed
as not to make it possible for the
general public to "view the animals"
In idle curiosity when culprits are
confined therein. !.

There are many in Oconee who
will learn with regret OF the death
of Mrs. Mary Conley, Of the Whet-
stone section, who passed away at
about 1 o'clock Sunday morning at
her home there. Mrs. Conley was not
very aged lady, we understand, be-
about 65 or 70 years Of age. She was
the mother Of Mrs. Henry, Of Wal
halla, who with her husband and
| children are spending some weeks at
the Conley homestead, and was with
her mother when the end came. Mrs.
II. w. Henry, Of MILESTONE, Is also
daughter Of the deceased, and there
are, we believe, several other chill
dren, but we have been unable
to secure information concerning the
death Of Mrs. Conley beyond the few
facts above. She was a most admir-
woman and will be greatly missed in
her community.
Funeral services for little Henri
eta Todd, who was killed in Colum-

were. held in the chapel Of the or
phanage on the day following her
