A Sketch of the Life, Deafh aid Burial of Miss Pearle Graham. The subject of this sketch is the eldest child of Mr and Mrs J J M j Graham, whose home is near Cades. ! Here Pearle was born and lived under the care and guidance of her devoted parents. She was never a frivolous child, always devoted to home duties. At the age of eleven years she joined Bethesda church, where she on the glorious Fourth. We are re! quested on behalf of the manage! ment to extend a cordial invitation 1 to the people of Williamsburg to go over to Darlington on that occasion and share in the good time that is promised. Some idea of the programme may be obtained by a glance at the notice which appears |, elsewhere in this issue. >1 Among the instructors along with the Clemson-Winthrop demonstra. tion train we found Prof J N Napier. ! About twelve years ago at Blenheim, ' Marlboro county, the editor of The ' Record steered "little Johnny" Napier a timid, delicate lad of seven years?through the intricacies <>f the j alphabet and such collateral litera' ture as his plastic mind was capable of receiving.

With a capital of $50,000 and $10,000 surplus, this is one of the strongest and most flourishing banks in this part of the State. Does it pay to advertise? Well, ask those Clemson professors who personally thanked the editor of The Record for the liberal space given them,to which they largely attribute the splendid representative audience ! that greeted them here Saturday. Superintendent of Education A H ! Casque and Treasurer Hayni*, of Florence county, were here Tuesday concluding their settlement with the corresponding officials of Williamsburg affecting that portion of this county recently annexed to Florence. Dr W G Gamble went to Charleston Tuesday to attend a re-union of the members of his class at the Citadel Academy?class of '90. He returned home yesterday, having enjoyed a pleasant renewal of associations with his former class-mates after the lapse of a score of years. We ask our readers to be indulgent with us just at this season. It's a fearful grind these sultry days chasing locals and getting up other ! "copy" for a newspaper day after day.week after week, no matter how i bad you feel or how tired you get. The extreme hot weather seems to take the life and energy out of eve|rybody. The tobacco warehouse-men are getting things in shape for the opening of the market which will soon take place. There will be three warehouses operated here this sea! son and competition will be keener than ever. All signs point to higher prices for tobacco than have been offered in many years, owing to the ; scarcity of the crop. While preaching in the Episcopal church Sunday morning. Rev Dr Robert Wilson was overcome by the i heat and had to retire to the vestry j room. Prompt aid was rendered.and iin about half an hour he was able i to return to the residence of Dr W G Gamble. He was so much imi proved on Monday that he returned to his home in Charleston. We were pleaded to have a call Saturday from Mr E B Clark of ; Wilmington, the courteous and capable immigration agent of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for this , State. Mr Clark is with the Clemson-Winthrop train through this section and takes a keen interest in i everything looking to the develop; ment of the resources of our county and State. Dr R C McCabe, who has been ab| sent from his office for the past few weeks, returned last week and is "at home" to his clientele in his nicely equipped new office over the Kingstree Drug Co's store. Dr McCabe . attended the annual meeting of the State Dental association in Colum bia last week and read a paper before that body entitled: "Adenoids as Associated with Mal-occlusion."

She cared nothing for the frivolities of society, but chose rather to be useful in her home.church and neighborhood. Being the eldest child of fond and indulgent parents,still she was as submissive to their wishes as the youngi est?always cheerful and happy to do what "papa" and "mama" desired. Her sweet, cheerful disposition and friendly manner won for her hosts of friends. Literally true, "to know her was to love her." At the time of her death she was ' * *< - T _ J: ?? IT president oi tne juauies ntimc miosion society of Bethesda church. Her heart was very much in this work, where she had already done a great deal of good, still, she felt that a wide field of labor lay ahead of her. God?Who doeth all things well? saw fit to call her to her heavenly | home on Wednesday morning, June 114. Her funeral was preached by TmmmtnmmmTPmmmmPT: iLF NAN DRY G< iiUiiiiililiiiiiiliUiliUiltiillUiUi j * i ' V v i was always a useiui, active uiemuei, being organist from childhood up to the time of her death; helping with the Sunday-school and lending her ; services in any way that off ered for I the up-building of the church, j At the tender age of fourteen I years she was sent to Leesville College, where she spent one year and , returned the second term, but her 1 health failed and she had to come : home. Although a robust-looking | girl, Pearle was never very strong. After remaining at home for two years she was again sent off to l school, where she spent two terms. ' She was compelled to abandon the idea of completing a literary educa! tion, so she determined to specialize ! in music (vocal and instrumental) 1 and" art, in which she seemed to be 1 especially talented. She was taking a course in these studies at Columbia College when she was seized with her last illness and was brought home. Every human effort was made for her recov, ery. Drs Williams and Courtney of ' Lake City attended her daily, also Dr McLeod, of the Florence infirmary. Two well-trained nurses stood by her bed-side administering to her I needs, and anxious friends and relatives came and went; but Pearle grew gradually weaker under the burning heat of typhoid fever. The Great Physician did not will that she be restored to health. Pearle was an exception among j I Dr Daniel, of Columbia college, assisted by Revs Fairy of Kingstree,' 1 Derrick of Lake City and Sojourner, j htr pastor. After the funeral serv-. ice, which was held at Bethesda church, the body was taken to its ; last resting place, in the old Graham : burying ground, where lie her grandj and gres t-grand-parents. The proi cession which followed the oody ; from the church to the cemetery was over a mile long, which proves the high esteem in which Pearle was held in :he hearts of the people of her neighborhood. I have seen such a throng gather at the graves of acred persons, who had lived out 11 ^ DODS C Ui$UUUiUUliUUUUUiUUUUUUJ > t | their number of days in useful lives;' j but never around the grave of one ' so young as she. Pearle has gone, her spirit hath; wended its way across the river I darker than night and now rests in that city where all is light. BENSON BREEZES. Crops Improved?A P. olliic Cow | ?Neighborly Neighbors. Benson, June 27:?The seasons in ' this immediate section are all that | could be expected, and corn and i cotton are thriving remarkably well. From present indications, however, the water-melon supply%for the glorious "Fourth'' will be rather limited. Mr S Alex Tisdale, of this place, related to us an instance of a freak of nature that came within his observation and is as interesting as it is out of the ordinary. Mr Mack Tisdale, who lives near Central church, is the owner of a young heifer that became the mother of a calf some time last March (Mr Alex Tisdale saw the cow and calf). Mr Mack Tisdale kept the cow and calf near his home in anj enclosure, so three months after the calf No. 1 saw the light of the world, calf No. 2 made its appearance, claiming equal right to the care and affection of the I same mother cow. Both are doing well. We have heard of twin calves and a case of triplets occurred in this neighborhood a good many years ago with a cow of|Major Chandler's, but never before just such a case as this. ?'

Messrs John and Lamar McCullough, now of Ohoopee, Georgia, are on a visit among friends and relatives in this section. These young men are sons of Mr I^awrence P McCullough, who owned the place now known as the Bell place, where they were reared. Mr Alvirt Spann of Timmonsville is visiting Mr S A Tisdale. Ye scribe, whose loss by fire was mentioned ir. last week's Record, desires to express his sincere appreciation for the numerous sympathetic expressions of his friends and especially to the kind neighbors who showed what they thought by sending 20 head of mules one day and plowing his entire farm over before stopping, which took but a short time. They are just waiting for the next call, both white and colored. It makes a fellow feel happy, regardless of his misfortune, to have such kind friends and neighbors.
