J July 16, 1897. sad death at blythewood. ^ Theie is always something sad and mournful in death, yet methinks the fell destroyer never placcd his signet on human brow under circumstances more heartrending than those which surrounded the death of Mrs. M. M. < Cfinkscales, whose spirit winged its flight to the God who gave it on July 15, 1897. She had lain on a bed of afllictiou more than eleven weeks, yet never murmuring, but always submissive in the will of God. She went to sleep as calmly and quietly as the ? evening star sinks to rest on its ocean ' pillow. She did not shrink from encountering alone the dark and chilling waves of Jordan, for she had drunk at Siloanrs fountain aud quafted at the well of liviog water: and faith whis- ' pered she would "Land on that happy shore, Where billows never break and tem- ] pest never roar." For some time she felt that her end was drawing near, and with a love : and tenderness, J^odcep for utterance, | she called h<v- mioband and children to j her and ^ vc them each a farewell message. She selicted the hymns she wished sung and tho scripture she wished read at her funeral. They buried her at the Baptist Church of which she was a member by the side of her two little children, who were waiting to welcome her home. A large concourse of weeping relatives and ; friend? followed her remains to their last resting place, and lovingly and tenderly Kid her in the grave. Human wisdom could never have conceived i I, ws? hpst for her to die. vet "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh awav; blessed be the name of the Lord." God saw lit to transplant her from this world of gilded phantom? and fleeting dreams to a more congenial clime. Never again will we meet in this world, but shi will not be forgotten, for "oft in the stilly night" and in the morniog light sweet memories will come and life's music will ever breathe for us a minor chord of sadness since she is gone. "I saw her when they laid her down Upon the silent bier, And many heaved the throbbing sigh Aod shed the bitter tear, : Low in the silent dust she sleeps, Free from all toil and strife, . Till started from the dreamless rc>t, She wakes to endless life." July 17, 1SD7. Sweet Peas. :[ CASTOR IA 7 > For Infants and Children. ; js** Tsi-H-ye Pi lie a wit o a Cure AH Liver Ills.

We mnst relieve it of all woik for a time, or until it is restored to its natural strength. To do this succe?8ftillv, we must u^e a food which is already digested out6ide of the body, and wbicli will aid the digestion of other food that may be taken with it. o nrnrtnrt is the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The Shakers have utilized the digeslive principles predentin plants for the manufacture of this article, and its success Ins been trnly phenomenal.

Most of them took dinner at Riley's and Senator Ben Tillman flayed at the hotel nntil the i , train to Augusta left. This gave liim something over two hours in town. He 6ees something new and strange every time he strikes Greenwood. Once a brass band that had practiced only two weekt serenaded him on the street in broad day light. They came out of a livery stable around a store and surrounded him suddenly tooting their boms. lie was so surprised that i j ? ue useu bulub piuiauc wuiu-. Last Friday the curiosity he saw was equal to the brass band As he sit on j Riley's piazzt the people congregated around him. Among the number an elderly man came up and expressed his opiniun about the situation ia our State. He said things were goin? wrobg aud had been doing so ever since Tillmanism triumphed. He said South Carolina was always more prosperous when the aristocracy governed It was unfortunate for the people that the aristocracy was ever put out of office. Then the following dialogue substantially occurred: Tillman?"Are you an an-tocrat."" P^eudo -"Yes, sir, I am." Tillman?"I am glad yon hare told me for I never would have taken you to be one by your appearance. You a;e a poor man, are you?'' Pseudy? "Ye*, I am a poor man." Tillman?1"I suppose the poorer you get, the prouder you are." Pseudo-"Senator, you have been dictating to the people of Sonth Carolina for several years how to vote and I wish 10 know how to vote in this senatorial race."
