IIA Hit IS OX.
The friends and acquaintances of!
Mrs. Eli F. Harrison (and their name I
!
is legion) will bo mrprised and |
shocked !o hear of her sudden death,
which took place at her home in Longtown
early on "Wednesday morning
from heart dUeas-e after ashort illness.
Mrs. Harrison was in Winnsboro
last weok, and left for home cn
Saturday. On that day the writer
had the pleasure of meeting her,
and while she did not complain, J
yet from a remark she made he thought
she was not very strong. 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. The relatives and friends j
who are stricken by this lo?s have our j
sincere sympathy.

T//ir MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Its .Beginning, Progress ami Present Condition.
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.
Gaillard, U> whose efforts more than
any ether cause is due in the success
attained.
