Glover Tompkins in our town on Saturday last, was buried in our village ceme tery on ?Sunday morning at ll o'clock, Dr. Gwaltney officiating at the grave. Mrs. Tompkins was sixty-six years of age and had lived in or near our town for a greater part of her life. She was entirely devoted to her home and family, consisting of two sons. Dr. Tompkins, Frank, a younger son, and one daughter Fannie, to whom the sympathies of many are extend ed in their bereavement. A MOTHER IN ISRAEL. Mrs. Caroline Abney died at her home in Kdgeiield on Thursday last at 12 o'clock, surrounded by kindred and loved ones, those whom she had most tenderly loved always. She had been an invalid for more than a year and like her lamented husband the cup had lost its bitterness ere it reaen ed her lips. She died as Christians die and rests eternally with the saints. Mrs. Abney was seventy-four years of age. and has been for many years a professing Christian and was the oldest member of the Edgelield Vil lage Baptist church at the time of her departure. On Friday the remains of this venerable and beloved lady were laid to rest in our village cemetery, Dr. Gwaltney preaching the funerai sermon. Two daughters remain to mourn for an idolized mother whose voice they may know no more on earth, but who shall await their coming in that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens, Aiul she rests ut the eral of the path, in t ie city Whose "builder and maker ii God."

Wars and rumors of wars seem to have no effect on our business men. Dr. Frank Butler, ono of our most skilled and gifted physicians, has bcea tendered the appointment of United States army surgeon with the rank of captain. His experience, already had as surgeon of the army, would make him a most desirable acquisition to this branch of the service. But it is hoped that he will decline the appoint ment, indeed, al' Edgelield protests against his acceptance of it. Dr. Butler will be located, in case he detennii^. to leave us, at Foi t Bruin.

Key West, April 23.-The Spanish tramp steamer,- Pedro, Captain Benet, from Autw&rp on .Mardi 25, for Santa Cruz and Pensacola, was captured by the United States flagship, New York yesterday afternoon aud wae brought in here at 6:30 this morning under ber own steam, but in charge of a prize crew, consist ing of Lieutenant Capebert, Ensign Brun by,' Engineer Ball and 12 men. She is owned by the Nav igation company of Bilboa, is of 1,(528 tons net register, is about 330 feet long, bas over 3S feet beam i and 28 depth of hold. She was i built at' Newcastle in 1883 and bas on board a crew of 3G men. The Pedro had ber n unloading a cargo cf rice, iron and beer at Havana, when the news of the descent of the United Slates fi-et upon Cuba caused berio put to ssa in a hurry, She made oil' in an easterly direction, but was not quick enough in getting away. The torpedo boat Foote was scouting about. 12 miles oft" Havana shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday atternoon. The weather was hazy. Suddenly the Foote signalled the New York that a strange ship had been sighted and the flagship started out. Wiser than the Buena Ventura, when she saw the mighty flagship ; heading for her the Spaniard scudded away at a fast clip. The New York then fired the usual first shot as a signal to heave-to, but the T edro continued on her ... Then came a pretty ^ iso. The cruiser fired several more, small guns at the fleeing vejsselj: and. finally sent aj solid shpt across her bows. This brought the enemy to terms andi she promptly hove-to. A small boat.waa lowered from the New York and Ensign Marble with a crew put off. The wildest excite ment prevailed on the Spaniard and her docks were crowded with men, scurrying about like frigh tened rats as the New York men clambered up the side of the ship. .Meantime the Foote had sighted a German coasting vessel and signalled to the flagship and a shot war put across the vessel's bow. No resistance was offered, and the New York men boarded her, found her papers to be correct and her German regi.-ter was established. She was tur.ied back. The action of the Beet in refusing} to allow the German vessel to enter Havana shows that the blockade is pratioaliy established.

Whioh is better, to thoroughly cleanse and purify the blood just now, or maice yourself liable to the many dangerous ailments which are so prevalent during summer? Impurities have boen accumulating in the blood all winter, and right now ia the time to get rid of them. A thorough course of Swift's Specific is needed to cleanse the blood and puri fy the system, toning up and strengthening it all over. Those who take this precaution now are comparatively safe all summer; but to neglect it is to invite some form of sickness whioh is BO com mon during the trying hot season. It is now that a course of Swift's Specific will accomplish so much toward rendering the system capable of resisting the evil influences which are so liable to attack it during the summer when sickness is so abundant. It is the best tonio and system-builder oa the niarkst, because it is * real blood zsmedy and is made solely to search out and remove all impurities, ?nd supply an abundance of pure, rieh and red blood.

Nearly Opposite Planters Hote rhe Johnston Institute. rllERE are schools and soho ls, b it there are some reasons why you should patronize the Johnston Institute: 1st-Johnston is a healthful location, on the famous "Ridge,'' which com prises portions of Aiken, Edgefleld, Lexington and .Saluda Counties. It is absolutely free from malaria. The same diurnal range of temperature as Santa Barbara, Cal. 2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar rooms or vicious company to degrade the students. 3rd,-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for young men and Rebecca .Motte Hall for young ladies. In these Halls the students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their studies. Ith.-The Institute is conducted ona Military basis. Boys are permitted, but not required, to wear uniforms. This uniform is cheap, handsome and durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until he lirst learns to obey well. 5th.-Our course of study is thorough, practical and progressive. We flt stu dents for life, as College Diplomas are issued to those who deserve them. (ith.-We have Special Departments olfering superior instructions in Book keeping, Painting and Music. Call and see the character of work done. Our rooms are open to inspection. rth.-We haves big school. There is something stimulatingand inspiringabout large schools, because children learn not only from books but by ab sorption. 8th.-We have eleven teachers, S. M. Martin, John Lake, A. J. Reamy, C. C. He oert, Miss A. S.Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearingen, Mrs. L. C.Latimer, Miss Sue Sloan, Mrs. S. S. Cobb, Mrs. J. H. White, Mrs. A. J. Reamy. We will add more if necessary. 9th.-Our School is un4cr Christian influence, but strictly unsectarian. No narrow denominational lines are drawn. 10th.-We are giving the best possible educational the least possible cost. The Institute is the school for the people.
