with a Southerly wind, rain and

men it was decidedly dry, the dead

bar rooms closed. Towards after
noon it was evident that somebody’s
jug had been opened, but investiga-

been brought along by visitors from
other points, where there was no

the saloona wore kept strictly

sold by side door arrangement or
otherwise. The police made no
snoots aud by night the town had

shelter, the official sales were alimly
attended, auctioneer Jack had his
usual supply of lien stock on bund,

daringly performed, and the ‘fanny
clown’ and ‘ramrod’ was too splen

a musical connoisseur, was charm
ingly rendered. There was no
‘coin throwing* as once enthusias

that they made their stay so brief.
We hope to see them back iu the

John W. Williamson who,died at
bis home, November 26, 1885, was
one of tbe charter members of this
Lodge. When with those of us,
who received the charter, he be
came a Knight of Pythias, no one
of tbe little band coaid, with more
reason, look forward to a longer
life, xonng, vigorous and full ot
life aud cheerful ness, there was the
promise ot very many years of use
fulness and happiness. His fall in
mid-career illustrates tbe uncertain
ty of life, and tbe wisdom of such
an order as oars.
He was a true Knight ot Pythias,
bold and aggressive in fighting
wrong and oppression ; steady in
support of what he believed to be
tbe right; foil of tenderness, sym
pathy aud sucoor for the afflicted
and distressed, and the staunchest
and warmest of trieuds. His friend
ly faoe, his genial manners, tbe
warm grasp of bis hand, who can
forget f He was even-tempered,
well balanced, generous, unselfish,
tail of energy, a man of great cheer-
fulness and good humor, of great
good sense, and public spirit* d in a
notable degree. He loved hia fel
low-man and worked harder and
j, ;
(£ .*>+» -m
with more pleasure for bis people
than be did for himself. Need we
say or wonder that be was tiusted
aud honored, that be was universal
ly beloved and esteemed, and that
a great host ot friends, laid him
away in Ids prcmMiire giave,
made great lamentation.” .
Let bis memory remain fresh and
green in onr Lodge, aud let bis no
ble and unselfish life excite our em
ulation.
Retailed 1st. That in tbe death of
John W. Williamson, the members
ot this Lodge suffer tbe loss of a
beloved companion, a true friend,
an honored associate, and a brave
true hearted Knight.
Retailed 2nd. That a page of our
journal be inscribed with this trib
ute, aud preserved sacred to his
memory.
Retailed 3rd. That a copy of this
preamble and these resolutions be
sent to the widow of oar deceased
brother, with the assurruceof our
sincere svmpathy, with aud for his
fatherless children.

Eugene Blake, aged 28, a mem
ber of the Survivors’ Association,
Pee Dee Light Artillery, died Sun
day 27th December, 1885. Eugene
was engineer on the New Haven
Road. Coming out trom Boston on
tne Express, when ne r Pelham
vide his engine was thrown from
the track, down an embankment,
and he was instantly killed. This
noble boy, his life so full of hope
and promise, tbe idol of his family,
has crossed tbe flood, leaving fath
er, mother, two brothers, a young
and loving wife bowed down with
sorrow. How meagre tbe conso'a-
tion we offer the bereaved family.
Knowing the bright-eyed, mirthful
little Eugene when a boy we
loved bim, and in his maturer years
he has been tbe stay and comfort
of bis family. The aged father,
that gallant old hero, now of New
York, but prior to the late war had
made his home in our loved Palmet
to State, and when tbe sammons
“To Arms!” came, he donned the
“grey” casting his lot iu with that
gallant command, the Pee Dee Bat
tery, aud on every field where the
company banner wus unfurled, Jake
was there. Around the hearts of
his comrades pleasant memories ot
his luble nature will ever be cher
ished. His joys, his sorrows, each
find arespousive echo iu the breast
of those who marched by bis side
through sunshine and storm. Soon
we all shall meet on the other shore.
But be assured that not until the
green glass shall have covered the
mound where sleeps the last sur
vivor of ibe old baitery, will Jake
be forgotten Comrade.

December 26, 1885, at tbe home
of her son, Mr. Wm. T. Hill, Mrs.
Sarah Ann Hill.
The early family records were
lost years ago, but from members of
the family we gather that Mrs. Hill
was between95 and 100 years phi.
More than 60 years ago she was
baptized by tbe Rev. W, Q. Beat-
tie, into the fellowship of the Me-
chanicsviile Baptist Church. From
this church she joined tbe Antioch
Church, by letter, and continued in
its fellowship till tbe day of her
death, when she joined the Church
Triumphant.
As a shock of grain fully ripe she
has been gathered into the garner
on high. Pastor.
