contemptible animal on earth is
the blind tiger. His presence
should not he tolerated in any <
civilized community.
Magistrate Caskev informs us j
that he heard a man remark the s
other day that he would give t
ten dollars toward buying the (
editor of The News an automo ,
bile. Are there any other cit izens j
so kindly disposed? Don't all
speak at once. It we had a gasoline
devil, red, black, yellow or r
otherwise, we would become a ,

roads. j^
Somebody has sent us from t
Chattanooga, IVnn.. the picture ^
ot a superlatively lovely woman, i
witli the following written on the i
hack?the picture's hack?not the j ?
woman's?"All about one little jc
apple, hut interesting. Possibly, | \
if Bro. Bigham had this picture j s
on his writing table he could I
think of more apple tales. See?" U
Across the address is stamped in i
red letters: "Missent to York t
ville, S. C." Why the picture
was first sent to Yorkville we do t
not know, unless, knowing our I
friend Tom McDow's boundless {
and depthless adoration lor the 1
beautiful in femininity, the i
thounhtlul postal clerk concluded j
to give him an opportunity to y
feast his eyos on the "prettiest i
thing ever." 't

At the risk of making the
noutlis of our neighbor editors
water, we will announce that!
Uev. It II. James, of New Salem
township, sent us some nice,
large ripe peaches from his or
chard this week. It will, no
doubt, make a mighty gnawing
in the digestive part of the
anatomy of the editor ol the
Lancaster News, who recently
reported that the fruit crop of
Lancaster county consisted of
one apple, but he must try to I
get used to it.?Marshville lloiue. j
Keep your oid rotten peaches.
Enough truit has siuce been
found in this county and kindly
presented to the editor to last us
until another summer rolls
round.

Little Dossie Lucseuia. daughter of Mr.
.nd s. J. II*. Jennings, departed this
liW Ai.uast 6th. 19)7, aged 8 jetrs 4 mo,
nud 8 days.
It is linrd to part with our loved one,
but we pray Qod to reveal himself unto us
us tlm God ot all emuloit, in this, our
sad bereavement
Asleep in Jesus, to wake no more. Wo
cannot hear your sweet voice, Dessie, 'till
we uieet on the other shore.
Asleep in Jesus, blesse l sleep.
From which none ever wuke to weep;
A enliu and undisturbed repose
I'nhrokeii by the hate of foes.
Farewell. d? ar Dessie, farewell.
Peaceful be thy silent rest
Slumber sweetly. God snows best
When to call thee home to r.>ut
Farewell, dear Opinio, farewell
We innst any our last farewell
1 ill wi' meet beyond the river,
Happy there with thee to dwell.
Pear l>es*ie, -lie has left 11s
Left ns, yes forever more,
But w hope to meet our loved one
On the happy golden shore.
Ihen rest at home, dear Dassie,
And play the golden harp;
Let your voice grow sweeter
Like the music of the lark.
Why do we grieve, it cannot be long
Till we arose to the golden shore
And sing the grand and beautiful song
Willi our loved one gone before.
The cup 01 hitter drugs you drank
From which you never shrank,
From the dreadful pain you bore
Now set fiee to feel no more.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be till"d.
