THE DISPEXSABY ROBBED. The dispensary was entered by a burglar on Sunday night. An en trance was effected by forcing open the back door, and the burglar made off with about forty dollars, in money. There is no clue to the person who committed the robbery. Several burglaries have been committed from time tn rimfi rtnrinir the vear and each time ??-?D I the thieves have escaped. In all probability the same person or persons committed all of the robberies and it is a great pity that it cannot be discovered who they are. A. Wild Boy. Chief of Police Gilbert wrote to the chief of police of Richmond, Ya., about Lee Carter, who was pat on the chain gang, and Mr. Gilbert has received a reply in which it is stated that Carter's father was a huckster, and the son was so incorrigible that his father could do nothing with him. The boy has been an inmate of the Laurel Reformatory, of Laurel, Va., and the chief of police of Richmond says that ht does not know whether he was discharged, or escaped. Carter has been very "incorrigible" on the chain gang, and refases to work. Dear to the Heart.

Died Unexpectedly on Friday Morning. Again this community has been called to mourning. It was nothing less than a shock when the news of the death of Mrs. M. L. Egleston, our postmaster, became generally known on Friday morning. Several weeks ago she bad feyer, but with characteristic devotion to duty she remained at the postoffice attending to her duties. At last, tier strengtb iailea, ana upon the entreaties of her physician, she went to bed about ten days ago. It was soon discovered that she had typhoid fever, bnt she begau to improve rapidly, and her recovery seemed certain. Her system, however, had been on a very great strain, and on Friday morning at 1 o'clock the members of her family were astounded to find that she was dying. The immediate cause of death is supposed to have been heart-failure, superinduced by overexertion during fever. Mrs. Mary Louise Egleston was born on the 30th day of October, 1849, and was a daughter of the late James R. Aiken. "When her late husband, Mr. DaBose Egleston, then postmaster, died, her friends used tbeir influence to have her appointed. She has held .. t_ * e>r\ r j ~ ~ 1: ^ uie position since i.ovut ituu uu puuiiu officcr has ever given more general satisfaction. Taking charge of the office without :my experience in business, she has adu.i.ilstered it with a woman's conscientiousness, faithfulness and efficiency. The postofiice inspectors, after making an examination, have invnriahlv cnmnlimented her QDOn her x: management. Gentle and courteous and always cheerfal, 8he ha? been deservedly popular in the postoffice. Bat Mrs. Egleston's character has been impressed on the community not only in the postoffice, but in social life, in the family and in the church. Loyal in friendship, lovable in the family circle, zealous in Christian work, full of self-sacrifice for others, she was a most useful member of society, and the world is the better that she has lived. Genuine sorrow is felt that ahe is no longer among us. She leaves four children, two sons and two daughters. The funeral services took place on Saturday morning from St. John's Episcopal Church.

Tutt's Liver Pills DEATH OF MRS. LYLES. Allow me space iu The News and Herald to chronicle the death of Mrs. Wm. C.

J T. - ? 4 * iL? new-Dorn miaii7 preceaeu mx iu iue better land. Bom and reared in a Christian family, Mrs. Lyles not only accepted the tenets of the Christian religion, but led such a life as to make her an "Epistle known and read of all." Like Job she had many trials and sufferings, but like that servant of God, she bore them all with marvellous patience, uttering no word of complaint. A devoted wife, an affectionate mother, an earnest, consecrated Christian, her untimely death brought grief and eadness to many hearts. Three orphan children survive her. Gazing on these, some may ask, why has the Lord so done, yet in mercy hath he done*k all. May ihe God of the orphan be their God and their guide, and when life's work is done, permit them to meet their sainted father and mother beyond the river where all is life,' peace and love. e.g. s.

Presbyterian. fcleoiT juaurens Jiiiuott was Doru in Winnsboro, S. C, ou Dec. 7tb, 1816, and died at his residence in the same town April 30th, 1897. Between these two dates there was a long life of usafnlness and honor, all spent in the community iu which he was bom and raised. Mr. Elliott was no ordinary man. In all the walks of life he was preeminent for the highest honor and the strictest integrity. There was something about him that made men look np l o him, and repose ihe greatest confidence in him. His life, in tbe business world, and as a Christian, was a shicing example of what nature and grace can do lor a man. Reared by pioit9 parents in a Christian home, he early gave himself to God, joining the Associate Reformed church in Winnsboro. Many years ago he wa? called to be an elder, and always used his office well, uur cnurcn mourns ior him, for he will be much missed ia all its work. Every good cause was liberally supported by bim with his means and influence. The poor and needy always received help from him, and many pensioners ou bis bounty will sorely miss his cheerful words and liberal gifts. He was a man w ho hid as few faults and as many virtues as any man whom it has been ray priv ilege to know. i Mr. Elliott was twice married; first to Miss Mary McMaster, by whom ho bad five children, one of whom is our missionary, Mrs. Rachel Pressly, of Tampico, Mexico. He was married the second time to Miss Tirz&h Ketchin, the daughter of Rev. Thos. Ketchin, so well known in the early days of our church. By her he had nine" children. Hi} itaves behind him eleven children, three sons and eight daughters, to mourn his loss. It is a testimony to his faithfulness to his children, that they are s.ll Christians, and uselul members - - -? 01 society, IWO 01 ms suiia ucuig uxutwo in tie Winnsboro Associate Reformed church. Two of his daughters are wive s of ministers, and four ethers are wives of officers in the church. No sketch that we could wiite wcnld do jastiie to this good man. All who knew hira loved him, and all mourned him at bis death. We sorrow not as thoso who have no hope, for we know ?< io x?7?fh him. We sorrow most of all that we shall see his face no more on earth. W3 felt, cn the day of his burial, that ibe words of Drumsbeugh at the funeral of George Howe, were true of us in Winnsboro: "This is Dot a day for taany words, but there is just one hearr, in Drumtochty, and it is sore." c E. 51.
