Friday last, of pneumonia, at I lie ad- \ vaneed age of eighty-four years. 1 Mr. Oliver lived all his life within 1 six miles of the place of his birth, at.djc during this long sojourn conducted e himself, so as to command the respect s and friendship of his neighhors. He v nossi'ssed tlu> cardinal virtues of lion- s esty and truthfulness, ami his conduct < was characterized by kindness ami generosity. For many years he was a ' consistent member of the Lowndes- ' ville Presbyterian chinch, ami hi.s ' pastor, on Saturday, preached anappropriate and impressive funeral ser- 1 ' jnon, at his late residence where a !! large concourse of friends had as<etn- ' bled to pay respect to the memory of; " I lie deceased. At the eonciusion of:'1 the sermon the remains were taken to- u the Lowndesville cemetary and there."! deposited to await tlie souild of the;'1 trumpet on that great day when the:a) sea shall give its dead. | j! J n early life he was a cabinet-maker j by trade,* buL more than fifty years ago betook to farming, at which occu-l (, nation he amassed quite a fortune|0| before the war and even after j a, the emancipation of his slaves | p he leaves a handsome unin- t*i cumbered estate, which will be; ai divided as the law directs, between ;jt bis aged and feeble widow, and their'\\ two sons. :e. Several years ago he made a colli nj with his own hands, and procured the suit of clothing ii which he desired j11 to bo buried, and kept them in his 1 dwelling, ready for use whenever hep'1 t sliould receive the summons. Al- Sl. ' though he retained his health and'?1 mental faculties up to his last illness,: 1S lie knew he had lived beyond his al-jl,! lotted time," and felt that his poicc * was- made with (i?d. Death, to him! bad no terrors, ami when it came, it. n, was not as rho thief in the night, but; ]j as a welcomed guest, who had come to i.,] ? bear away to his Cod the aged patri-jjs arch, who was bowed down wilh more w thau four-score years of toil and care. j,ji Handsome lied Quilt. The most elaborate piece or patent, work that we have ever seen, lias jtisl 1. been eaniploted by Mrs. M. M. White,!*' of this village. The article is a silk,-.1 quilt, made of patches only a littlejj larger than a nickle piece, the total ; number being the basting sticii-; J1. m es are estimated at !'-,50UU, while their, sewing stitches are set down at 1 .-,(10. it is believed after careful calculation, that tlie handling of the sepa-'b; rate pieces inputting this work to-jni gether, will reach the enormous mini- ti tier of 4o,2">0 tinu's. Mrs. White has <>l worked at this quilt more or less every! h day for the last two years, and for the j tl past months two lias done nothing else.' t\ This is a beautiful piece of work, and j will no doubt be kept in the family | and handed down to future gencar-jJ'J atmnsas evidence of the handiwork ' and energy of the maker. The same'*!' amount of labor expended by a skilful |J' mechanic would have built a com-; 'J fort^ble dwelling house." I w ..... r The Spartanburg Herald. j This paper has been reduced fromjni an eight to a seven column paper, toj u. the page, in size, and .from a twO|(p dollar paper, to a dollar and a half pa- j,', per, in price. The reduction of size j?j was correct. We fear that it will not j help matters much to reduce the price, however. One other thing now, cut j t? ?>fl* "dead beats," and reduce the cir-j'd culatiori ten or fifteen percent. Tlie.'M J/erald is a good paper, but the editor j 1" is somewhat like our friend Stokes of e> the Uninn Tin)*'*, who does'nt associ- s:i ate much with his country brethren. For a paragraph to nn-et his eye, it should be in {.hvUlrccnvillc Xitvn, theic< Columbia I'et/isftr, the Phoenix, the ^ News and Courier, the Journal of' '* Commerce, or jicrhaps the Charlotte \y Ob ft rvcr. j t ] The Xewberry College. j((| The editor of the Newberry Jferald\\t was made happy last week by a call n from an Endowment agent. Did he j pi make the Endowment agent happy? in Hear the editor: "We had the pleasure Friday of meet-; ing Rev.
