' IBS The Press and Banner Wednesday, Sept. 21,1887. l)onth or Mrs. Cason. Mrs. Hattie Allen Cason. the beloved wife of SaiuuelCason, Ks<|.,dieU at homo in this village, last Sunday night, after a lingering illness, leaving three small children. Her deatti was one of the saddest events that has taken place in this community for a long time, and all ttio people feel and express great sorrow at the death of one who was so universally beloved, and the greatest sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband in this the darkest hour of his life. An immense concourse of people were present at the funeral, and among oilier tilings, the Rev P. B Jackson said : "Here the stunning blow that leaves us prostrate with grief ami dumb with sorrow; but there the crown of lite and the slory ol eternal conquest. Here the stillness and grief, but there the sons; that never wearies, that never ceases. Here sighing and *ohs, but ttiero U??! lliroo oi i':o: ii:u JUY, i in- |iu.r-.itlons of boundless love. IIore tlio shroini and the gloom, but there the royal robe of Ihc* Bride of Christ anil glistening morn of heaven. Here and there. The vail is hung be tween. Oil that Hide Is light, but on this is darkness. "What I do thou knowest not now but thou shalt know hereafter." We cannot understand why here. To us it seems that the thread of life was out short too soon, she fell lu the bloom ol mature womanhood, and our unbelief will not let us see how it was best, but a christian faith tells us we shall know hereafter. Our sorrow is not without hope. She passed away in the faith of a holy Christ, she leaves to her family the rich legacy of a pure, spotless, humble christian character, and Christianity has taught men to inscribe o'er the grave of such a life. "At Rest." Thank God for such teaching. May the Holy Spirit keep us ever in the path her feet have trod and bring U8 Anally to the shore where she is "At Rest." ? Tin* rotlon Tljirkel. We are reliably Informed that Abbeville has as good rates for the shipment of cotton I as any town In the up-country, and w? have I Messrs. Lucas and Hicks, who are here with I plenty of money to buy all the cotton that comes to the market, and to pay good | prices for it. Th?? plan of paying more for some bales and loss for other bales of the Bame quality will not have the desired effect. Abbeville Is entitled to hnr share of the cotton and we believe it to be to the interest ol cotton sellers to bring to this place all that would naturally come here. The cotton gins at the different market towns are of great benefit to the lienor who expects to soil seed and cotton. A wagon win currj h uua ui vuik/ii ... v?v seed can be sold at the gin without the trouble or expense of handling or hauling. The bagging Is convenient, and the charges are low?and low charges are a consideration ] with most of us. Cotton that is ginned promptly after picking turns out better in weight than it does after it has been kept for weeks. When it is possible cotton should be loaded in the field and carried to the gin without being put. in the cotton house. A Live Business Firm. 1 Messrs. T.

As soon as the dishes begin to rattle at dinner they serenely return to I lie yard knowing that f??r tlie present the danger is over. who says that chickens don't reason? The equinoctial gale is threatening. A blowing rain would play havoc now when so much cotton is open in tlie Hold. We think last weeks editorial in the Press and Manner on Despoilcrs of Character one of the best wo havo ever read. A great many people have yet to learn that, abuse is not argument, and it. wi>uld be well If they would heed the advice thAt the editor has given. Your correspondent visited Ninety-Six last week.

We predict that the i result will be accomplished as the men sit tlie helm are not of the sort that fail.

Greenville, September 15.?The author!- ! lies of the Fuizer Manufacturing Company, ' whose big cotton mill Is located at I'clzer, sixteen miles below here, arc so modest and reticent concerning the affairs of the mill that i very little of what noes on in that thriving manufacturing town ever gets to the oars ol the public. It Is due to the company's settled . policy of effective work and little talk that work has actually been begun on a Dig new , mill at Pclzer wliLout any report of the fact i reaching outsider^. The contract for the new factory, which will boa combination of the present mill buiidinc, nearly doubling the total length, has been let to Capt. \V. 1). Goodwin, of this city. Capt.

The student 1 appointed should be able to passa satisfactory examination on the common school branches ! and t)e not less than 17 years of age and in good health. It Is desired that tho appointee ; be a graduate from some good school. The great need of trained teachers for the ' common schools of our State has caused the establishment of this institution. It is hoped that with the co-operation of such men as yourself, it will soon accomplish that for which It was designed. Of the fourteen graduates of last year the majority have already ; secured good positions to teach. Please bring this valuable scholarship to the knowledge of the people of your county and thereby assist some deserving young lady to an honorable means of livelihood, and at the same time advance the cause of education in the State by securing one more trained teacher for the work.
