On the night of the 4th of May Mrs. Moses Harris passed away at tue home of her devoted daughter, Mrs. John M. May it. So short had been her illness that many of her friends knew nothing of it, and were greatly shocked when Hie sad tidings reached thom. This-good Christian woman had spent hou long life in constant devotion to ber aged husband and affectionate' children, Mrs. D. T. Mathis, Mrs J. M. Mavs and Messrs David aud Waiter Harris, who survive her. Mrs. Harris descended from the Sweariugens who were among the pioneer Bettlers in Edgefield and have always takeu an active and prominent part in the affairs of the couuty. Although she had reached an age when she could not mingle with the people in pub lic functions she will b? greatly missed, for there went out from her life a beneficent influence that was a blessiug to all about her. The interment took place at Horn's Creek on Thursday afternoon ber pastor, Rev. P. B. Lanham, officiating at the funeral. Joined the Heavenly Host. At the home of h?r sister, Mrs. James T.

For the past four or five years she had been a vet im of iucurablo ills and for some months, as with waning strength '.er suffering be came more acute, life was indeeda burden to ber. Throughout the years and months of trying, tedi ous and torturous illness Miss Robbie manifested Christian for titude to a degree that is seldom seen. Hers was a singularly beau tiful life-beautiful in personali ty, beautiful in mind, beautiful in character, beautiful in her de votion to every duty, beautiful io consecration to the cause and ser vice of Him whom she made her. examplar. The world is better by reason of this zealous Christian woman having lived in it, and mauy lives have been strengthen ed and brightened .through her Chriet-like walk and conversati ip. Day afterday, night after night, for weeks and mouthe, loved ones miniotered to Miss Robbie ju ten derest devotion and with a"r i ence that was strikingly beau- ! and competent physicians ? led to every conceivable mea? ^ to restore her, but all to no effect, for Death had laid his icy bande upon her. In her demise, however, death had uo sting and the grave won no victory, for one must be lieve, knowing the life of the de ceased and the teaching of the Holy Book, tbut-as soon as her spotless spirit abandoned the '-'tabr eruacle not made with hands" m mistering augels wafted it in to the presence of the God of Hosts, She died as she lived IrustiugHim who laid down his life that she might haye life eter nal."
