DeBruhl, Esq., of itie Abbeville Bar, died lis morning at a quarter past one o'clock. She leaves a family of email children, who re too young to renlize their great loss. It is sad indeed for a mother, in the pride of glorious young woman hood, to be stricken town wlieu life is most interesting, and vlien her presence is most needed. It is. If possible, more sad for innocent little bildren to be deprived of a mother's love ind tender care. Of the devoted husband's ereat loss we may >ot speak. The Supreme Ruler of the unl erse alone can comfort him In this his dark?t hour. Mrs. DeBruhl was great'y beloved by our people, and there Is scarcely a heart In the vlllaee which will not experience something of sadness at the news of her death. She died In the blessed hope of a Saviour's loving favor. Ijoiia of n Fine Animal. Mrs. Aiken, of Cokesbury, lost a fine bay mare last week from colic. Tills animal was raised by the lute Hon. D.

Aiken refused $500 for her at one of the State Fairs, hut could not be induced to part with her evec at a fancy price. A lodge of "A. O. U. W."

Mrs. Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., came lastSuuday on a visit of some length, to the family ol ber son-in-law, Mr. E. H. Mathews. There was a bat-trimming, by the young people at Dr. A. J.

Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Baskin went to Lebanon Friday to attend the burial services of Mr. Frank Glbert, uncle of the former. Mr.Sam Brown of Anderson Court House was in our town Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Barnes spent Saturday nlgnt at Mi- .K. L. Moor'icad's. The material for building the iron bridge ut the old double bridges is now on tbe grounds, and will be put in position as rapidly as possible. Hands are at work remodeling andjaddiug to bis dwelling Just beyond tbe town limits, wben flnUhbd he will move Into it. Miss Emma Shealy of (ilendale is here, to engage with Miss Mattle Easterling, in Mantuamakiog. Yesterday was a forerunner, in asomewhat mild form, of old winter. It is high time that predicting by the basketful!, were out, as to the weather, lor the next three months. Weather prophets are somewhat silent. It tukee a good deal to fatten a poor dog. Judging from ao estimate given u few days aicoi. e. sixty dumplings, four pounds ofbucon, a big pot of turnip greens, and other things In proportion, dally,?would rather take that job by the day. Messrs. L. C. Haskell and Oeorge Wilson were here Friday, looking after their ginning Interests. Mrs. Bondurantof Atlanta, Qa., is now visiting the family of her son-in-law, Mr, J. O. Chambers. The plunters are now utilizing this good weather to the iullest extent, In gathering their crops. Some 01 our early risers, saw a little frost about the middle of last week. Our community is again called upon to mourn the untimely and unexpected death of Miss Mattle Harper. It has saddened all hearts. Her muny virtues had endeared her to all who had ever met her, Last Saturday week ago she was taken violently III, with roneestion. and although the physicians skill I was taxed to It's utmost. and the untiring 9 care ami attention of loved ones was freely I elven, all, all was of no avail, and on Wednesany evening, as quietly aud easily as a little tmbe falls to sleep, vo she passed away. Her " funeral services were performed by the Rev. J. E. Beard at her home, in the presence of all who could reach there, and afterward* her remains were deposited In the futnily burying ground near by. it 1* hard to realize tha. one so lately amun^t u?, the very picture oi health, aud with the che;lshed hopes for a long and happy life for her, should now be renting iu the cold and silent i;rave, and that we shall, no "more, be greeted with her accustomed cheery smile and hearty handshake, but so It is, - Death loves a shining mark," and seems sometimes to delight In severing the tenderest lies. The sorrowing family circle, has our profoumlest sympathy. TROUPE. \nm IN OUR CHURCHES. AC (he Presbyterian church Sunday October 19, 1890. . I-as I Sunday was a beautiful day and all the churches were open in the morniug. Many worshipers were in their seats in the sanctuary. Rev. A. A. Morse preached In the Presbyterian Church here, both morning and evening last Sunday. The sermon iu the mornlDg was from 1st Peter, 1st chapter and 8th ver?e : " Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with Joy unspeakable and full ot glory." Mr. Morse said, "The words of the text i suggest the subject ofour discourse this morning.?"Love to an unseen Savior," and the first question which naturally presents Itself Is: How can we love that which we have not aeen : We may respect or revere the memory i.r n orviri author, but how can we love him? IWell admit .that this Is true; Now here Is Jeuss Christ. who has been dead many years ?and we have never seen hi in lace to face, can we; do we love htm? The answer Is; Through the instrumentality of faith we caD love him. Faith enables us to comprehend Jesus Christ as a living?not a historical person but a real, living person. Faith also enables us to see Jesus as one who can and does sympathize with us?when we come to Christ in our afflictions we know, that we come to a perfect mau, one who i> touched, with a feeling ot our infirmities? uud therefore can extend to us the sympathy we need. AW again through the exercise of faith we are brought into communion with Him the llTlDg, best iriend. It is through faith that we become partakers of the righteousness, which has provided for us. This fallb lu an unseen Saviour brings home to us a sense ot jiordou; and ho, by reading the scriptures, we see Jesus the living Saviour and we are enabled to say In the language of the text /'-Whom having not seen, yet wo love," Ac. itfaaBBaagafiBaaaaa HIIIHMIBI HUM ' There are two Haskell'*, At ti. and John.
