Speer was burned with Its en tire contents, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars upon Messrs. Cooley and Speer, over the insurance. The power canipanv at Gregg's Shoals was also a pretty heavy loser by the burning of a post and wire, which was near the build ing. Its material loss was quite small, but pretty large in damages, in failing, be cause of its inability to do so, to transmit the electric current to Abbeville, which furnishes the city with light and power. So the burning of a small post and wires, insignificant within themselves, put the power plant out of commission from 10 p. iu. iuuiiuay uiiui 1 jj. ui.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken, Congressman, and Superintendent of Education-elect W. R.

To the older ones of this section the sad dening news of the death of Mrs. 8. B. Jones came Thursday morning through the columns of the Southern Christian Ad vocate. She passed away in Spartanburg where her home had been for a number of years. The writer for reasons claims the privilege of paying a slight tribute to her memory. She was a native of this section, having been born and reared within a few miles of this place. Throughout a pretty large territory, as a young lady, she was well known and beloved, by old and young. Having a warm heart, a genial and loving disposition, with a smile and kind word for all that she met, all were drawn to her onH Ko/tnma Hon hocf frianda If", waa those who kuew her best that loved her most. She spent much of her time at our home, the home of my sainted father, Rev. G. W. Huckab^e. There she always found a cordial welcome. As a bare-footed boy, the writer was' always glad at the coming of cousin Lottie. Then was formed for her an attachment thatenelther time nor distance has lessened. She was a life long consistent member of the Methodist church. In all of the walks of life, sister, daughter, wife, mother, friend, she ever showed a peculiar fitness for, which was indicative of a high Chris tian character, all of which enabled her to leave behind an enviable record, an exam ple worthy to be followed. No one could question the cordiality, the Kindness which shown forth in all of her intercourse with old and young, neither could her de votion to the Master's cause call forth any doubt as to its genuineness, its sincerity. All of which gives to her beloved ones left behind, and the few remaining who knew her years ago, the assurance that she is now in the Christian's home in heaven, en joying the fruits of a well spent and happy life.

Take our advice and don't wait till Christmas eve, or even the week be fore. Abbeville Is serenely quiet, Cupid has unslacked his bow-string so that every thing in his line has once again come to a standstill. "Nothing doing." DOINGS ON BOUTE 3.
