Tho Spnrtanburg Herald, of tho 31st ult., pays our fellow-townsman tho following compliment: "We have heard a good deal from time to time about the office seeking the mau. It appears that tho prohibition nomina tion for Lieutenant Governor sought Col. James L. Tribblo, of Anderson, but Col. Tribblo declined tho honor. This is unfortunate. Had Col. Tribblo but consented to allow his name to stand, he would undoubtedly have been elected and South Carolina would have had a Lieutenant Governor pecu liarly well suited to the duties of his office. Tho State has -?ever produced a purer man, and he is as nble ns he is upright. His declination is a calamity." Mr. C. S. Minor, of the Ten Cent Store, hus sold his stock of goods to Messrs. W. F.aud J. B. Marshall, of Piedmont, who will continue the busi ness at Mr. Minor's old stand, on Gran ite Kow. Tho store will bo closed for a few days for tho purpose of taking stock. The Messrs.

Smith died at his home in Garvin Township Sunday morning, May 27th. For several months his health bad been failing. Ho had suf fered intensely from a complication of diseases, til! death brought relief. In his sickness he bore thc pains as only a child of God can, and in death he was absolutely reconciled to the Master's will. He died resting his hones in the Crucified One. We are confident that in the morning of the first resurrection ho will come forth with that glorious life that Christ our Lord gives to those who call upon Him. He was laid to rest in the Lebanon Cemetery, the funeral services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Singleton.
