Full of Life He Attended the Re-union. Laet 3aturday night the town of Pickens was thrown into a tremor of excitement when the news was car ried from one to another of our awed citizens that William Spencer Craig had just dropped dead on the street of the town. Mr. Craig, who was a gallant Johnny Reb, came ',o Pickens, Sat urday, to .attend the Re-union exer cises, and was apparently in the best of health. Many of his ftiends re marked that day how well he lodked. He had not been here befot e in six years and met many friends and was with them all day, jolly, happy and full of fun. Late down in the after .noon he was walking in the western part of tuwn and of a sudden sank to the ground, and by the time aid reached him he was dead. The physicianA pronounced fthe malady heart failure, and wo understand that ho was subject to such attacks. M r. Craig was a nian of generous im pulses and never fort ot the 'hosipita ble ways of the pioneer. .The sting er, even th.,ntgl a beggar, never failed to find food and shter f- hie hsought it at his hands, and he wasi t hiomuc by the bedside of the sick and de lighte d in all kind lil neiglhbor-y uflic;s.

A man of sturdy constitutioni and excellent, babite, he continued to be active in his accustomed pursuits till long past the uage at which]muen ordinarily drop ont of the ranks of the svorkers. '1 o this end there is no doubt that his Sunshiny disposition largely contrib uted. He met mtost of the condi tions and situations of life with a *mile. He believed in the fatherhood of God and the bro,thuerhlood of moan.

He leaves a wife f.nd seven sons and two daughters, besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death. We can only remind these inourners that he is not dead, he is only asloep-rest. ing after a long and well-ipent life here; he cannot, and would not if he could, return to us; we can, if we will, go to him. Having lived according to the light he had-and who shall judge that light but the j'ist God before whom we all must pass-we lower all that remains of our friend and neighbor to his final resting place, to calmly await the reward of a just God. And as ae cover it with the sods of earth, may we also cover with the mantle of charity his earthly shortcomings, whate'er they may have been, and keep bright in the limelight of mem. ory Wei many gegd deeds, and may We alwiys el ulate his V3rtues that we may be better fitted to meet our loved ones who are on the other side. He had passed his golden wedding day and wearied with life's duties and cares, he lay dowun to rest. "Tired!
