Mrs. Harrison was in Winnsboro last weok, and left for home cn Saturday.

She had been suffering with an affection of the heart for several years. Mrs. Harrison was the daughter of j the late Dr. John Douglass, of Ches- j tei* county, one of the most prominent i physician?, surgeons and citizens of j his day, who represented his county in I the State Legislature. When quite. voting she married Cant. Eli F. Harri-i c 1 son and moved to Longtown, where! I she had since resided. She was the I mothered our ex representative Jno. D. j Harrison.

This Association was organized in April, 1SS-1. ftr the purpose of perpetuating for all time to come the | memory of those grand heroes who laid down their lives at the altar of their country, for liberty and truth's sake. "With 110 capital save their own loving hearts, active brains, and willing hands, they determined would, not only once a year, for all time, decorate the graves of the dead heroes with flowers, but also would erect a monument in their honor that would speak to ages and generations yet far remote, of the valor, courage and patriotism of those who wore the gray. How well they have succeeded the re port on tlieiryiinances inacie uy a committee of gentlemen, whose business capacity is unquestioned., and read at the exercises Friday, will show. At the close of Memorial Day in 1S84, after paying the expenses of that occasion, there was deposited in bank to their credit only $G.OO. a small beginning. But wait and watch results. The Gordon Light Infantry gallantly , came to their aid with a donation of $50?this and perhaps two other donations from friends at home and abroad , amounting to $30. is all of the fund now on nanu which is hoi mc i?un of ladies handiwork. Entertainments were given, ice cream made and sold, , collections taken up. all by the ladies, until they have to-day, as shown by their treasurers report $1,073.08 on hand and invested, and well invested, as the following extract from the report of the committee appointed to examine into the investments will show: " We find that all loans made by the Association are well and amply securcd.'' Tho inrcresf. addition to the finances of the Asseciation was the proceeds of the Kirmess, an enterlainmentgiven in December, 1SS8, under the management of Miss Etta fV'olfe, now Mrs. Nathan, which netted the handsome sum of $324.30. These matters have been entirely under the control of the ladies themselves, and while perhaps they may have had some advice and counsel from the sterner sex with reference to their investments, yet they have managed it all, and to their credit it can be said they have never lost a cent. There have been days and years in the life of the Association that looked very dark and dreary, when possibly this noble band were g-loomy and despondent, but knowingno such word as fail, thev persevered, and at last the object they aimed at is almost in sight. Tliis short account of the Association would be incomplete without special mention of the perservance. energy and tact which has been displayed by the president, ilrs. II. A.
