Wednesday, November 19,1902. It is the sacred doty imposed upon the living by all of the demands of humanity to tenderly and lovingly care for the "silent city" wherein dwells some loved one who, by the unerring wisdom of the great archi tect and builder of the fail casket which contains for a season only the breath of God?the immortal spirit of man ?which has been called through the medium of physical decay to enter into the valley and* the shadow of death. A well cared for village cemetery speaks in glowing evidence of the holy reverence which the citizens of that village hold in rememberance of their dead. A neglected cemetery - left unenclosed for the beast of the held, the feet of the unthoughtful or indifferent stranger to trample upon and dispoil the hallowed mound beneath which somebody's; cherished one lay sleeping, is to say the least of it, a refection upon the entire community where such a condition is permitted to exist. The public spirited citizens of this place determined to replace the old dilapidated wooden fence which is around St.Stephen cemetery with a neat aud substantial :n-? 1 iron one. xoe couiumiev uao ouv | ceeded in raising all the fnnds neces- | | sary to purchase and pot up this fence except .$150, and they now appeal to the patriotism and pride of aU those who have loved ones sleep| ing in that sacred spot to contribute a ana, not matter how large or small, ? toward this necessary undertaking, j There is scarcely a family in this vi { cinity but a loved member is buried there: and there are families who have moved away who have left the ||v tacred ashes of one or more members awaiting the resurrection morn in Si Stephen's cemetery and to these, to many of whose homes in dib~ - last States the Dispatch goes, we f. would earnestly appeal for a contribution toward raising this $150. All eontribotions sent to this office will .

We are saddened to obronicle the " death of Mrs. Lucile M&ttison, which event occurred at the home of her father, Captain Henry A. Spann, near Leesville, last Saturday, after a long illness, which was attended by great suffering, all of which she bore ir^th a patience that was remarkable and a resignation that was sublime. She was married some years ago to Eev. Mr. Mattison, a devoted and consecrated embassador of Christ and an eminent Methodist divine. After her marriage she and her busband went as missionaries to Brazil. Shortly after their arrival there the husband contracted a case of fever wbkh terminated fatally. Mrs. Mattf# son returned to her home and commenced the preparation to engage in - - - n t i i Js T etoosen proteesion?teat 01 leacning. Mrs. Mattison was a resident of tb? place for a number of years and was highly esteemed by a large circle of loving friends for her many Christian graces, her sweet and gentle disposition and her accomplishment and culture of heart and mind. Her only daughter, Miss Lina Wakefield, and other relatives survive her to sorrow over her departure. Our deepest sympathies go out to the stricken and saddened home. .'W">: If- V ' %. -j . Rev. Xrl R. Hicks' 1903 Almanac. To say that this splendid work of science and art is finer and better than ever, is stating it mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all previous years. To say that such results, reaching through Thirty Years, are not based upon sound sense and usefulness, is an insult to the intelligence of the millions. Prof. Hicks, through this great Almanac, and his famous family and scientific journal, Word and Works, is doing a work for the whole people not approached by any other man or publication. A fair test will prove this to any reasonable person. Artdpd the most luminous course in astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms and weather are given, as never before, for every day in the year, all charmingly illustrated with nearly two hundred engravings. The price of a single AlmaDac, including 'postage and mailing, is thirty cants. Word and Works with the Almanac is $1 00 a year. Write to Word and Works Publishing Co., 2201 Locust Street, St. Louis, Mo, and prove to yourself their great value. Sots from Black Creak.

The congregation was very much disappointed at Convent the first Sunday, as the pastor did not come. Say, "Mr. Traveler" has the "belle of Steadman" come home yet? One vonng man is very anxious to know. Mr. Belington Gantt is building a new house in the town of Steadman. Miss Daisy Edwards has quite a flourishing school at Kerney Branch. Mr. Henry Bieh has taken possession of the Wateree school. If this escapes the waste basket, you may hear from us again. * Second Traveler. November 14,1902. P. C. Z. Notes. Mr. Pickens Wessinger, of Peters, has placed his son, Talmage, in the Institute. Mr. William Martin, Columbia, S. C, is boarding his son, Cleveland, at Mr. J. D. Taylor's and sending him to the Institute. There are so many students in the Institute that another teacher had to be employed. Miss Mary Henry, of Countsville, who graduated with first honor from this same school year before last, was chosen. Miss Henry is a fine scholar and a teacher of successful experience. The entire enrolment of all departments of the Institute is 190. There are five teachers in charge and everything is moving along prosperously. The music department of the Institute is in a more prosperous condition now than ever before. It is in charge of Mrs. Fannie Roof, who nmea r.f a talented familv of musi cians and who has a very successful experience covering more than eighteen years.

Its ravages extend from ocean to ocean. More than one-half the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Senators are talking about It; Congressmen are discussing it. They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the disease, but the possibility of finding a national remedy to meet this national calamity. The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this direc tion. Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been growing in favor steadily all these years. .

It eradicates catarrh 'from the system. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures are radical and lasting Fritz Voilmer, President Schwaebischer Saengerbund, Chicago, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., says: " My voice was so badly affected from catarrh that I was afraid I would lose it entirely.
