I? _ IX MEMOKIAM. Of Mrs. John W. Twitty, an honored Daughter of Lancaster, S. C., but a resident of Valdosta, Ga., when called to Heavenly mansions.' "Gathering homeward from every land Gathering one by one." Softly and tremulously these words were sung under the bright June skies in the Presbyterian cemetery at Lancaster. The singers were the young friends of the lovable girl, whose body was being consigned to its last resting place. Since these years have come and gone, without any other members of that griefstricken household passing into the "beyond," but now the mother, after watching and waiting for the summons, has been called home. Yes, our dear friend, Mrs. Twitty, so true and kind and tender, has entered into the "rest prepared for the people of God," has joined that multitude of friends and kindred, gathered home from "every land." The summons was brief, no need of preparation, she was expecting it any hour. She was sitting on the front porch, three hours before she entered tHe portals of that "home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Doubtless, she felt that the messenger had come. She went 'in. called her faithful daughter, \nnie, who almost immediately procured a physician. lie found that the heart was involved. At 7:15 in the afternoon she "crossed the bar." "Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark, And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark." Her passing was just as she had wished it to be, no long, weary days of suffering, just going away quietly and gently as she had lived. Her devoted daughter, watching over her. in tender solicitude, saw the "silver cord" that bound her to earth "loosed" and "Mother" had gone to a "brighter land than this." As I think of her, precious memories of days gone by rush over me. In ivy childhood she was one of our best neighbors and friends. Later, when the cares and trials of mature life confronted nio. I found her a ready sympathizer, counselor and helper. Iler home was always open to me. She was a woman of tine practical sense. Her life was one of unselfish ministering to others, never too busy to lend . helping hand wh n needed. She was a strong, but womanly woman. Above all she possessed a beautiful christian character. She and her husband lived their Christian life in perfect unison, "walking to the house of (toil in company, and taking sweet counsel together." So close was the marital tie that ' even now, it is difficult to think of them apart. On their last visit to Lancaster, 1 met these dear friends for just a few moments, as ships that pass in the night, and snlnfo onoli ??i .???? ing." I little thought that "tlt<' shadow of death was over our parting." hut now I think our dear friend realized that it was the last time. There was so much tenderness in that last embrace, so much fervor in the "God bless you. Miss Jennie." In the midst of our sorrow we have many things to he thankful for. We thank God that we intimately knew this noble woman, who "wore the white flower of a blameless life," that for so many years, she was spared to her family, friends and acquaintances, thai she made the world better for having lived in it and set an example that our young people can safely follow. May her life be an incentive to others to walk in the path of duty. We feel that "it is well with her soul," yet we miss her so. There is a void which no other can fill. May God's blessings rest on her loved ones and may they, at last, be gathered "one by one," into that heaven- I ly home, to which she has gone. A FRIEND. I Homeopathic Dose.

The state of South Carolina has provided at Florence a reformatory or training school for incorrigible boys. For the girls? Nothing. There was a pitiable case in Greenville recently. Two drunken girls sent to the peniteniary. They were not sodden, bestial creatures, they were not steeped in sin, but just ignorant girls. unlettered, with no home surroundings to lift them up. They could not be put upon the chaingang. God knows they could not be. They were sent to the state ?\riun?i U'linvn ?a?111 !>/* ?" |/> iovu ? ncio inc.* will ncn IVU, kept warm, and Riven light employment. And 'then?their terms of sentence will expire. Senator Jesse L. Sherard of Anderson introduced a bill at the last session of the legislature to provide protection for wayward girl*, a place where they might be taught. He was a new member and there were other momentous questions before the general assembly and it was not given due attention. Some bill such as this must l:e passed. The wayward girl will become the scarlet woman unless she is saved, and the percentage of scarlet women who find their way to the Door of Hope is not large. The world is unjust in its neglect of the wajwurd girl. She may develop into a masterful woman if she is taken and educated and given Hible training. Masterful?and for the right.
