lefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1896. LOGflU BRCVillccS. W. li. LYNCH. Tho deal h of Mr. W. E. Lynch, on last Thursday night, removes from our midst one of the best men one of the most lovable who ever brightened or blessed this communi ty of Edgefield Iiis character wa?so high his disposition so gentle his temperament so equable and his self-control so perfect and uniform that he made troops of friends out of ih? most untoward circumstances, where others would have made only enemies. Mis countenance habitually wore the most lender und beautiful ex pression, that instinctively men women and children were drawn to him almost without, belngawareof.it; and we have never, during his sojourn here-a period of twenty-live years-heard one word said against iii m. Everybody who knew him loved him-everybody. Such a life was worth living even though there be no fruition beyond; he scattered blessings all along the way and he rejoiced in the love of his fei-j lows. Possibly, probably, Friend Lynch did not know here how many friends he had nor how many hearts ache because "God touched bim and he is not"-bur he knows there, he knows now; and, if there be communion between beaven and earth, he shall know of these things more and more ''As the days goon-as the days go on."j "'Thy kingdon come' is vainly said-j How snail our pleading win Until we make our life the door to lei the kingdom inr" IN MEMORIAM. "We see dimly through the mists and vapors of these earthly damps," says the poet: "and what seem lo us fu nereal tapers are the distant Lamps of Heaven !" Let u) stop for a moment in the fe vered ru3h of life, and lay an immor telle upon the grave of our dear friend W. E. LYNCH, who left us for a better world, on Thursday night, 3uth Jauua ry 1896. Ile was gentle, and true as steel, oue to whom men turned with in stant and involuntary trust and couil deuce. Hospitable to the stranger, courteous to the humblest, kind to friends, very tender to his loved ones. His daily life revealed the generous warmth of his heart. He died honored by all who knew him, his epitaph writ ten in this; "lie loved his fellow man." In a word, "sweet Charily took him by the hand and he went with her through life," thinking ill of none, and inspir ing those within his sphere with good thoughts, prompting them to noble deeds. The dear busy hands that have wrought so much are forever folder and ac rest, but dear friends remem ber that glory and loveorown his brow Let us dry our eyes and with lifted heart praise God for the memory of our blessed dead. At rest! sweet words of wonderful import ! "He is j ust away ; With a cherry smile and a wave of the band, He has wandered away into an un known Land, ? fl'l l??1 us dreaming.liow'_ye_ry_fair_^ lt needs must be since he lingers there, j And you-oh you-who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad re turn ; Think of him still the SAMK, I say ; He is not dead-he is just away !"

I shall use il. when in need of any medicine, and I recommend ir." A Matter of Opinion. A gentleman was greatly surprised and pleased the other day at the reply a lady gave the question : "Do you plant Vick's Seeds?" Her answer was: '4I always plant Vick's seeds in the front yard, but we get cheap seeds in the back yard, which I know isa mis take." It pays to plant good seeds, and we advise our friends who are thinking of doing anything in this line to send 10 cents for Vick's Floral Guide for 189?. This amount may be deducted from the llrst order. James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y., are the pioneers in this line. THURMOND CANED. Appreciation of ll is Fight for thc Bond Bill. And Edgefield Says "Well Done Thou Good and Faithful Ser vant." Columbi i Register Jan. 30U1. About half a hundred friends and admirers of Hon. J. Wm. Thur mond mel in the parlors of Mrs. Adams' on Main street inst, night and presented him with a hand some cane as a memento of his strong fight and final defeat of the bond bill. Mr. Thurmond was es corted to the parlor by Hon. J. Dudley Haselden, who was also V3ry active in the fight against the m.-r~-^ Judge C. P. Townsend presented the cane, and in doing so made the following short speech: The pleasing duty has been im posed upon me this evening hy the members of I ha House of Repre sentatives who voled with yon against the memorial of Samuel Lord, in the House to-day. lt is to present you with a beautiful cane as a token of their appreciation of your valuuble public services as a member of the House, specially as a member of the committee ap pointed at the last session to inves tigate the bond question. They feel that you have been a faithful servant of the people-a watchman on the tower ?o warn them of dunger, and that, by your unwav ing devotion to the public interest, you have greatly entitled yourself to the plaudit of your constituents "well done, good and faithful ser vant," as well as to some memorial at their hands for your distinguish ed public services. A conscious ness of duty well done is the usual reward of a public man, but, when his constituents and friends su peradd to this their acknowledg ment of his public services, it is a double reward-an incentive and inspiration to higher and nobler deeds. You have proved yourself worthy of the confidence reposed in you by your constituents, and have nobly done your duty tu them as well as the entire people of the State in your heroic efforts in their behalt on the bond question. It required manhood and pa triotism on your part to differ with those appointed by the House to act with you on the investigation of this bond question, lt required ability and boldness for yeti to s'and up on the lloor of the House and supportas you did the minori ty report, but you have been amply rewarded for this heroism, for you saw the house to-day by ? d? cided vote adopt your report, and ;jlaee Qpou th record its solemn judg ment that you were right. Your friends wish to emphasize this dis tinguished compliment by adding an ?tiler substantial one in the way o' a haudsame present. This beau tiful cane is their compliment. Pake it, and use it to grace and dignify your bandson.e person, uiidtoftrike down any ono who may e.-er attempt tomar your pub lic record or private character. And, als"?, remember I hut old sge will creep upon you, and when it does, use it as a staff to support your feeble frame, and ever let it remind vou of the General Assem bly of 1896, when you so faithful ly'represented your people, and so gloriously won this token of es teem, confidence and grr.litudo from your friends in the House. That your ful ure life may be one unend ing and unchanging day of sun shine, happiness and prosperity, and your public life in the future univ he as brave, unspotted and successful as in the past, is the ar dent wish of your trie ids of h House of 1896.

It is not sour-tempered, it is not frivolous or visionary. It secs plenty of good in the world and tells about it. , It tells of the bad when it must, but not unwholesomely. It prints with fullness the record of human en deavor in many fields outside of business, poli tics, and war-in literature, religiou, science, art, sports, and household matters. N'o paper in the country prints so many book reviews ank so much book news. No paper has so complete a financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial institutions. Its market re ports-wool, cotton, breadstuff*, farm products, Ste, are the best in the countr . The Democracy of The Times is of the old fashioned sort, as old as Thomas Jefferson; ma jority rule, no bossism, ni machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money-mak ing, a sound currency, industrial emancipation, and every-day honesty. To promote the ad vance of the Democratic Party along these lines it labors with heart and conscience and all its might. THE NEW-YORK WEEKLY TIMES.
