Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 1895. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. Mrs. Mary Durisoe. Departed this Jife on Thursday morning, February ?1st, after a short illness, Mary Durisoe, wife of John R. Durisoe. With our fi ail human judgment, we would have deemed it probable that many in our midst would hare been called to pass through the valley of the shadow of death be fore Mrs. Durisoe, and that she would have beeu left to minister to the heart and soul needs of her husband and five little children, who are left to the sor rows and heartaches of this earthly pilgrimage without the comforting sympathies of their tender aud devoted mother. She possessed indeed, "even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price." And was a devout Christian, a member of the Baptist church of this place. But it seemed that God in his merciful providence had prepared her children for this special dispensation, in giving them remarkably strong characters and matured intellects, en abling them to understand that though he has lead them mid scenes of deep est gloom, it is still his hand that guides them. Their many kind friends will be a great comfort and consola tion to them. May they also find a balm for their wounded hearts, in the beautiful Christian character of their precious mother, who "though dead, yet liveth," for after all, will they not meet her again when they have cross ed the river of life, and have entered the pearly gates, where they shall hunger no more, neither thrist any more, neither shall the sun light on them', nor any heat? For the Lamb which is in the midst of them shall feed them, and shall load them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes." "Oh think of the home over there By the side of the river of light Where the saints all immortal and fair .irerobed in their garments of white. Oh think ot the friends over there Who before us the journey have trod, Of the songs that they breathe on the air in their home in the Palace ol' God. My Savior is now over the?-e, There ray kindred and friends are at rest Then away from my sorrow and care Let me fly to the home ol' the blest." Let us not uuduly grieve for those "asleep in Jesus." "For what is YOUR life? It is even a vapour, that ap peareth a little time and then vanish eth away." "When the weary ones w?j love, Enter on that rest above When the words of love and cheer Fa!l no longer on our ear, Hush! bft every murmur dumb, It is Only, TILL HE COME. Clouds and darkness?round us press, . Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is loss, Death and darkness and the tomb, Pain us only, TILL KB COME." - Anr ^nifc.niil?jr?l^nn'irriir nn Monday next. The snow has left the ground full of amonia rich, and our reward will be in the harvest. The Edgefield ADVERTISER and Cos mopolitan both one year for $3.00.

Rus Bodie. Thad says that while in this old field college the professor gave the Seniors the following long wohl tospeil and define: "Chro-nonthon thoii-gus-sylo-inandy-brandy-bustiror nio." He says the professor told him that this was the longest word in the United States and meant, "1 came 1 saw I conquered," and of course it is the word Cfesar was trying to think of when he sent that mcmoraule message, VENi, VIDI, VI CI, to the Roman Senate" Thad also says tnat he would have grad uated hut that he quitted college, on ac count of being invited to a wedding) two days before commencement arid did not therefore gitadliate, lint did qui tua te with hi-h honors. Prof Bodie was, lie tells us, an excellent teacher especially of large and ad vanced boys, could read Latin as if he had roamed with old Romulus and Greek, as though he had sopped with old Sophocles. Prof. Bodie is now Principal of the Red Hill Academy in this county, but has never yet found a bulger word than "chrononthonthonsy logusmaiidy brandy bust!for/j io." Marries 'em in Poetry. Friend Abe Gilchrist, a new Trial Justice of the Rehoboth section, mar ried his first couple a few days since in poetry. He was sitting a-straddlo of the pasture fence when the demand was made for his services. The couple, colored folks, stood in the big road. Abe began as follows : "I'm a settm' on the feuce, But have you got the fifty cents?" An affirmative answer having been given and the fifty cents paid he pro ceeded : 'I pronounce you man and wife, Stick together all your life And if heavy be your load Always keep "de middle er de road" Of those unborn let there be no dearth Increase, multiply, and replenish the earth !" lt is needless to say that we are in debted to Judge Luther G. Bell for a transcipt of the ceremony given aoove. Personal Mention.

O'" C, P? i PS ON How to Get $100 and Perhaps Make a Fortune. We secure patents and to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hun dred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who submits tous the most meritorious inveuti m during the preceding month. We will also advertise the invention free of charge in the "National Recorder," a weekly newspaper, published in Washing ton, D. C., which has an extensive circulation throughout the United Stales and is devoted to the inter ests of inventors. NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS. The idea of beiug able to invent something strikes most people as being very difficult; this delusion the Company wishes to dispel, ll is the simple things and small in veulions that make the greatest amount of money, and the complex ones are seldom profitable. Al most everybody, at some time or another, conceives an idea,which, if patented, would probably be worth to him a fortune. Unfortu nately such idea3 are usually dis missed without thought. The sim ple inventions like the car window which could be easily slid up and down without breaking the pas senger's back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are things that almost everyone sees some way of improving upon, and it is these kind of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author. The prize we offer will be paid at the end of each month, whether the application has been acted upon by the Pat int Office or not. Every competitor must apply for a patent on his invention through us, and whether he secures th? prize or not, the inventor will have a valuable present.
