A dam costing only a few
lundred dollars, built across
kittle Fork Creek, af the foot of
brewer Mine Hill, would furnish
ufficient power to run a saw
nill or ginnery, and light the
treets, stores, public buildings
ind residences of Jefferson, and
>esides all this, there would be
>ower to run sewing machine
tnd an electric fan in every
house in town. This is an
deal spot for a dam, and the
low of water is sufficent all the
ear round for the needs of a
mall town like this. During
he far oreater nart of thp vpnr
wice as much power could be
iecured as is indeed. Of course,
he dam would be only a part of
he initial expense, but the opportunity
is there, and some day
t will be eagerly seized.
The east side of Brewer Mine
PI ill is a much frequented spot,
luring the spring and summer.
Fhe old pit, 160 feet deep, the
ong tunnel, abandoned machinery
of the mining company, the
?teep hillsides covered with delicate
ferns, trailing arbutus and
loneysuckle and the bold, swift
:reek at the foot of the Hill all
make it the most charming bit
:>f scenery in this part of South
Carolina.
There are two reasous why

In Memory of Miss Willie Pearl
So well.
We sometimes say when we
hear of or see a misfortune come
to others, "well I'd rather die
-than have that kind of thing
happen to me," but when we
are called upon to stand by and
watch day by day and night
after night while some dread disease
saps the life from one we
love and we stand by powerless
to turn aside the thing we see is
coming; when we see the dear
face grow more transparent
each day and the thin hands
grow thinner and paler and the
beloved form wasting away as
time goes, how, O! how much
do our hearts bleed and our very
souls cry out within us "O! any
thing but death, O! that my lov
ed one could live, let come what
may," and at last when the
weary spirit takes its flight and
we have loved from its very infancy
lying cold in death
the beloved voice silent fore\^^H^
and realize that we can nev^^r
look into those eyes nor hej^
that voice any more in this
world, then it is that we feel the
keenest agony that comes to a
soul in this world. Then it is
that we feel like crying out in ,
despair "My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?" But, in
this deep heart sorrow there
comes to us a fuller realization J
of the blessedness of hope be- (
yond the grave. Then of all ^
times in our lives we are more ^
able to appreciate the hope of a 1
life in another world.

with her in the bye and bye.
"Passing out of the shadow,
Into a purer light
Stepping behind the curtain
Getting a clearer sight
Laying aside the burden"
This weary mortal coil
Done with the world's vexation
Done with its tears and toil.
Tired of all earth's play things
Heart sick and ready to sleep
Ready to bid our friends farewell
Wondering why they weep,
Passing out of the shadow
j Into eternal day,
Why should we call it dying?
This sweet going away.
