Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 12, 1902 MARGARET DUNOVANT, Just a few weeks ago, the house hold of our townsman, Mr R L Dunovant,was overcast with gloom at the death of little Sophie. Now we are grieved to learn that the reaper has claimed another of these little jewels. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning,-at 5 O'CIOCE, the epirit of little Margaret Dun ovaut took her flight to other reals, mire suitable to the inno cence aod purity of childhood. Margaret was not quite two years old, and was a bright and b autiful child May the Lord send com fort to the bereaved hearts, as he oulp can. FIRE I Mr E J Norris had the misfor tune on Tuesday, Jajuary 4th, of having his barn and contents, in cluding his horse and wagon,burn ed. . The fire was not discovered until it hud made considerable headway, although it occurred at ?bout 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A negro man iii Mr Norris' employ opened the stable door and tried to drive the norse from the build ing, but to no effect : the animal refused to leave the stall. The dwelling and other buildings iu the jard narrowly escaped being bumed, as the wiud was very high and Wowing towards them.. We are gird to state that the property was partly insured, r compeusing in a small measure for the loss. AT THE OPERA HOUSE, The play, thf Heroic Dutchman, given at the opera house Monday evening last- was a monument to thekzoal and cleverness of Profes sor Marshall Moore. In this play, he took the leading part, manifest ing a decide I penchant for Dutch brogue, and keeping ihe audience ' in a continual ripple ot laughter. But this Dutchman did not car ry off all of the honors of the even ing by any mecos; Mr Monz?n Smith in his impersonation oj the Southern darkey, crea'ed a feast of merriment. Our young friends, MP Wells, - Jo3 Holland, Wall .oe Sheppard, Tom Car wi te aud Alex Watson, were full of the spirit of the occa sion and enlivened and animated the scene. The old Southern gentleman of ante-bellum days,was well charac terized- by Mr jobu R Tompkius. But humor and prthos, alike,a;e of no avail, if beauty lend not her presence. This charm was lent to ihe occasion by'the two heroines of the play,Misses Helen Sheppard and Julia Tompkius. Miss Lucretia Brunson, in the position of Irish biddy, added hu mor to the scene. Throughout,the play was sc full of fun and inci dent, all well rendered, that the ^aridience came away in high BP*r~\ made the evenings pleasure. i The proceeds of this evenings li enjoyment was eevoted to the pro- t motion of the South Caroliua Co- p Educational Athletic Asoociatiou. t - . i MRS A. F CROOKER DEAD, 1 Mrs. Amanda F Crooker, who had been sick for two weeks at her home in Bun- : combe,died on Wednesday at t 5:30 o'clock. She had been j gradually sinking for twelve f hours and the loved ones who 0 watched over her knew that t fl home would soon be without a mother. About 5 she calmly c died without a struggle, and her her spirit took its flight j into the great beyond. We a knew death was lingering 1 near and she would soon be c in the clutches of cold and 1 cruel death, but we hated to e give her up. She was a f good woman, and was tender c and kind to all, and we all did ; truly love her. But why do we mourn ? She is at rest and will never have to say good bye and experience the 1 sufferings of this world again, i The son, sisters and grand- 1 daughter have our sincerest sympathy. Mrs Amanda F Crooker would have been 73 years of age next July. She 1 was a member of the Metho dist church. She leaves one son, Mr Ben Crooker; one granddaughter, Miss Coy Wood, and two sisters, Mrs Rebeca Jones and Miss Cor nelia Jones to mourn her ioss. The funeral services were held at the home Thursday morning at io o'clock, con ducted by her pastor,the Rev G. W. Davis, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery, near her home in Buncombe. She is dead but will long be remem bered by us all. DR. ERNEST SMITH, (FORMERLY OF WILLISTON.)
