MCDAVIO IIOHT?N. Denver Items. A great deal of work has been done by the farmers in this section in the last ten days. If good weather con tinues the farmers will hardly know in a month from now thal so much time was lost by the bad weather. We have not heard of any farmers who were silly enough to plough up even a sorry stand of oats or wheat to plant cot ton. The late cold snap has not entirely destroyed the fruit crop, though it will be considerably less than il would have been otherwise. Our community mourns the loss by death of another good man and citizen. Air. Jell'. Klrod died on the fit h of April, after only a week's illness with pneu monia.

Kli/.abeth Cox passed away al Hu- Mast cl's call. Mr?. Cox was thc wile nt .Mr. Mat thew < ?. Cox, ol' this ('minty, ami, nt the time ol'her death, was visiting lier daughter, .Mrs. I! ni ma llewen, in < : reen villc Comity. 'Ihr siiinmon.s enine lather iilie.\|ieetedly, for at the time Kbe was engaged in al tending to Home light household duties, which was her delight, when suddenly she was Hoi/.od willi a sharp pain in her back. She seem ed aware ul' the approach ol' death, loi she said to ber daughter that she had univ a len minutes to live, and in less than one hour the pain had reached hel lit a 11 and she was dead. She was con scious tn (he last, lu i thoughts seem ing tu he on lier hollie, win ie lu i hus bauduiul children were, all unconscious thal mot her was gone, lier las) words were,. "(Hi, if I .jusl could see the old lioiue once more.*' She passed away as peacefully ?is a child to sleep. The remains wen brought home the next da\. She leaves a devoted, heart . broken husband, four sous and live daughters and hoslsof friends and rel atives In mourn her loss. On Kinlay morning, al ll o'clock, the body was can ?ed to its last resting place ul Shady ('rove, followed hy a huge concourse of people from all the surrounding country' am] from Helton, lt was beau tiful lo see her lour sons, assisted by her biol her. .1. I*. Cox, and nephew, .1. M. Cox, acting as pall bearers, laying Muir mother to rest. The services were conducted by berpastor, Kev. W. T. Tate, assisted by |{ev. M. McCoo. The deceased was a daughter ol' ''.Squire*'Joseph Cox, ol' this County, having lived all her life within (Ince miles of her birthplace. At the time ot' her death she had been married lilly years and been ii momberoi' thc Church several yeats longer. This is the hist bleak in the huge and exceptionally happy family, and great grief test i lies how much beloved she was. She was a devoted wife, seeking in every way tu make home dear lo her husband, and as a mother she was lov ing and tender, concerned always for the welfare (d' her children, even lifter they moved to their own homes, there by binding them to her with strong I ?es ol' love. Site is gone, bul her diameter lives, and not only her own family but the entile community w ill feel that she has sci them a beautiful example ol' how to m the hume happy. 1'I:IKM>. Death of .Mrs. Polly Murphy. < in Sunday afternoon, 1st inst., about I o'clock, Mrs. Dolly Murphy, tho be loved wile ol .Mr. Thus. Murphy, o'' Williutnstoii Township, was taken from our midst hy the Angel of death, and her immortal spirit was wafted to the realms above, the place prepared for her-a place of eternal joy, rest, pence, and happiness. Mrs. Murphy was n daughter of the late William Martin, (d' this County, and was a sister ol' Capt. ll. C. Martin, of Williamstoii, and Capt. Thoa. Mar tin, of Greenville, S. C., but formerly of Dickens County. At the age ol'21 years Miss Martin was married to Mr. Murphy, and for nearly 112 years has becu his bosom j companion, always ready to lill the du ties of a devoted w ife and an affection ate mother, liad sile lived until Oct. 18th next she would, have been 851 years ol'age. Sin; was the mother of ll chil dren, ?d' which number S survive her . ! sons and ? daughters. She was tho grand mother of 88 living children, and the great-grandmother of ten living children. Her children who survive her are Messrs. W. S., C. ll. and C.% J Murphy, and Mrs. Stegall, Mrs. Cason and Mrs. Orr, of this County, and Mrs. Roper, of Laurens County, and Mrs. Clardy, of Alabama. Tor soino forty odd years she has luis been a consistent member of tho Baptist Church, having tlrstunited witb old Six-anil Twenty Church, but after ward removed to Mt. Pisgah Church, and laier on transferred her member ship to White Dlains, and there it re mained until thc time of her death, nt which place her remains were laid to to rest, after very appropriate and im pressive funeral services conducted by her pastor, Kev. IL I. Spearman. After having a large family connec tion, she had, we would suppose, as many friends amongst both tho older and younger people as any ono would wish to have. If she had au enemy no one knows it, and her devoted and heart-stricken husband says that dur ing^ the (52 years of married lifo eho never at one lime spoke a harsh word to him. What a comforting thing it is to think of. Dor the past several years she has suffered greatly with a cancer of the face, which seemed to grow worse and worse instead of better. lt seemed that nothing appeared to make her enjoy herself more than for the young people to visit hov and show their interest in her, and to them she has related ninny interesting stories. But how sad it is when wo think that she is not hero to tell us any moro inter esting stories, nor to caress with a gentle hand the curls of tho grand-children when they go to grandpa's. While her friends have been expect ing her end to be near, it was still quito a surprise when they learned thnt she was taken off almost suddenly by a BU uko of paralysis, boforo which, two or three weeks, she had had anoth er Blight stroko. Tho heart-stricken husband has the sincere sympathy of all his friends and neighbors. A FRIEND. Card of Thanks. Wc wish to thank tho many friends who were so kind and attentive tous in dur recent bereavement. MATHEW G. Cox AHI> FAMILY. Money lo Loan.-Money to loan at 8 par cent.' J ?mes F.

The Lord loaned him to them .just long enough for them to feel that it was moro than they could bear to part with him, but tho Lord knew best. Neither parents' devotion nor physician's skill nor lov ing ni in is ti ios could stay him; the dear young life faded out to bloom in heav en. Oh, why must such affection be torn as under here?
