Mrs. Sallie Leigh Thompson, the mother of the late Mrs. Carroll JRainsford, died in the 69tb year of her age on Wednesday evening last Sire; wau a resident of Hampton, but at the time of her death was witb ber daughter. Miss Addie Thompson, at the late home of thu lamentedTjarroll Rainsford. Mrs. Thompson was a kind, gentle, sweet spirited Christian woman who was the very*hp?rt and soul of culture. She was a typical representative of the *'low country" pioneer families whose t ADDRB for generations have been synonyms for genuine culture and refinement. This long life, had nt t* been devoted to serving the gods of earth but the affections of this good . lady bed been, fixed upon things heavenly and now she , has gone to receive the crown which ? awaits those who love and serve Him.

Not so, however. Heaven had de- 1 creed otherwise. Owing to certain unforseen complications Mrs. Wil liams grew suddenly w?rse ?nd not . having the strength to offer fur ther resistance passed away early Monday mornitg. This death is peculiarly sad and, as we view it ' with dur-finite visionfit seems very ? uucimely, leaving six bright and promising children ..who will not [ longer have a mother's love and . kisses bestowed upoir them. Io ail ! things, however, we must trust Him, the AlUwise Ruler of the universe.
