Did you know Alline Crouch was dead? was the question asked Sun day morning. The whole communi ty was shocked for it was hardly known that she was sick. She was taken ill Friday and on Saturday evening as the day closed her life ceased and the beautiful spirit that it bore took its flight to God who gave it. She was just budding into womanhood, but the few years of her life had been fraught with such experiences that had proven to the world that she was a girl of far more than ordinary talent. Several years ago her mother died and the cares of the household with several younger brothers and sisters to care for fell to her lot. How well she did her work is not within man's conception to estimate. She proved to be tactful and efficient in every respect. She was of a modest dispo sition, lady like in every respect and possessed tnose traits of charac ter that makes woman beautiful. Her remains were laid to rest in the Ebenezer cemetery Sunday after noon. The funeral was conducted by her pastor Rev. G. L. Knight, who paid a most worth}' tribute to her life as a Christian.

Jeffries, conducting a revival service at Ridge Spring, and Rev. P. P. Bla lock being in attendance on the un ion meeting at one of his out of town churches. In the absence of all the others, Mr. Walker did not allow the large congregation, nor the new minister to realize any ab sences, but in every way filled the vacuum, and most effectively voiced the welcome of all. Mr. Bailey. ;u tho beginning, ex pressed most hearty appreciation of the welcome extended him. An an nouncement handed him by the Wo man's Christian Temperance Union of their meeting on the morrow, called forth some remarks in regard t to the petitions which are beiug cir culated in our county on the dispen sary question.

His imme diate and courageous stand on this very serious question which con fronts our people, was very heartily commended. Mr. Walker followed with s. few words of similar import, most wisely and enthusiastically spoken. A pleasing feature of the service was a vocal solo by Miss Marie Ab ney, with organ accompaniment by Miss Ellen Dunovant, and violin obligato rendered by Miss Thelma Bailey. The music came from a choir of all the denominations of our town. The sermon was a most interesting and instructive one, showing the duties of a minister of the gospel in his relation to the church and community life. Appropriation From County.

DISPENSARY AND THE BUSINESS MEN Continuek from pagel in Edgefield county, for it legalizes wrong. From a financial standpoint it is worse for nearly all our people, for more liquor will be drunk arid less money made by people gen erally. A dispensary means less bread and meat, less good clothing, fewer shoes, less education, less religion, more coffins, but cheaper ones, more murders, more unclean ness, moro gambling, more souls lost. There is no bitterness in my heart against any man, but I do hate wrong. I love every man, but I hate and will fight sin. J. R. Walker.
