Luolnda Keren Knight was born in Spartanburg County on the 15th of February 1841. and was educated in Asheville, N. O. She had been an invalid several months previous to her death yn the morning of October 25th. From the beginning, her disease was incurable. For more than 20 years she had at in tervals neuralgia of the heart. Her suffering at these times was excrucia ting. She was always resigned and literally kissed the rod of her affliction, saying in spirit "Thy will be done." About May 1st her disease became greatly aggravated. Her physician, Dr. J. it. Culbertsori,called mauy other doctors to his aid, but it was plain that the inevitable could only be postponed a few days or weeks. There remained only alleviation of pain, ami soothing of the mind preparatory of the last moments which could not be long de ferred. These were done with great skill, tender affection, and faithful ministration by her physician, her hus band and children, and her pastor, lie v. J. B. Parrott. Her neighbors were assiduous in their attention. Mrs. Knight was a daughter of Har rison Drummond who was a descendant of a man of that namcwho came with a colony of Scotchmen near a hundred' and fifty years ago and settled on the three Tygcrs. Those .who settled on North Tyger established a church near Tanner's Shoals and called it Nazareth. It is Presbyterian. The Drummonds and others who settled farther South became members at Bethel which is Baptist ; another evidence that envi ronments affect us greatly in many other than physical ways. Drummond is of pure celtio origin, and the name in Scotland is suggestive of, and synony mous with bravery, courage, and patri otism. Several Baptist preachers have sprung from the original Scotch im migrant and they have done valiant and effective service in evangelizing this section of our country. Mrs. Knights father died while she was quite young and her mother, who was a member of the Martin family of Warrior Creek, married Sanil Meredith, Esq. She first married Burwell Bobo and he was killed in the war leaving two boys, William and Charles, in 18(18, (Sept. 27th,) she married M. Au gustus Knight by whom she became the mother of six children, five of whom survive her. She was in all respects a good wo man. Her pastor says she was a model woman. It comes within the writer's own knowledge that her pastor states the simple truth. She was conscientious and faithful in all the relations of daughter, wife, mother, neighbor, and Christian work er. She had positive ideas as to the right, and the moral courage, to per form it ; and it only. She was precise in her conduct, and never forgot the proprieties and the amenities of social life. She inspired her children with a tender reverence and love ; her husband, with a confi dence and devotion that never faltered ; and these will linger with him during life as precious memories. At the last she passed away suddenly and calmly. Many shall rise up and call her bless ed. S. CHEEKING NEWS.

' / Maintain the Health No subject is of greater impor tance lo the happiness and useful ness? of every human being than the matterot physical health. Of course when a person is sick he de sires to get well, and remedies in tended to restore his health are administered, but people who are fairly in good health seldom think of medicine. Tho (act is, every one needs to have a good medicine always at hand, for by Its timely use prolonged sickness aud suffer ing may often bo averted. The most healthy person in the world is liable to bo seized with acute indigestion when certain kinds of food are taken under un favorable circumstances, and eveiy one is in constant danger of head ache?, colds, aud various ailments which result from exposure, over work or somo indiscretion about diet, sleep or exercise. It is these little ills that load lo chronic disease. An undigested dinner may bring on a stomach or liver trouble which will cause many years of suffering. A succession of sleepless nights will Inevitably toll upon tho nervous system, and will perhaps bo tho precursor of ner vous prostration. A sudden cold, a chill, or exposure may bo fol lowed by most serious conse quences. Henco tho Importance of attend ing promptly to littlo ills and over coming at once the slightest indis position. And It is just as essential that a rellablo medicine bo em ployed I u ami n tain log health as in curing disease. In the first place your bluod must bo pure, and the medicine that is lo keep you in health must bo a good blood puri fier. Tho most prominent blood purifier in tho public eye tc-d.iy la Hood's Sarsaparille. This medi cine has gained the front rank in tho medicine world by its power to mako rich, pure and healthy blood, and this is .?hat will keep tho hotly in a vigorous condition.? Hood's Sarsaparllla prevents dls easo from getting a foothold be cause It quickly overcomes the minor ailments which disturb the functions of tho body. By keeping the blood pure with Hood's Rareaparllla and regulating the liver and bowels by the use of Hood's Pills, tho danger to bo feared from changes in tempera ture and variations in dir t will be avoided. Hood's Sarsaparllla, it should be remembered, is tho one true blood purifier. It is by Hs power to make pure blood (hat it cures, and by keeping tho blood pure it fortifies the system against all danger of its attack.
