The mer chant replied : ''He sleeps in the store in the daytime. I don't know where he sleeps nights." Death of Mrs. Whittle. For nearly a year Mrs. J. W. Whittle, the wife of our esteemed felJow-townsman, bas been in failing health. Some time ago she .was cariied to Springfield, S. C., her former home, to spend a sea son, iu the hopejthat she would be benefitted. The improvement was only temporary. She grew worse soon after returning to this place. Last week Mrs. Whittle was car ried to the,, hospital in Augusta for tieatmeut, where she passed away about nightfall on Thurs day. Her remains were taken to Springfield for int-rmeut on Fri day. The r? moval of this good Chris tian woman from earth to heaven creates a breach in the family cir cle that can be repaired only in eternity. No one can ever take a mother's place in the hearts and lives of the members of a house hold. Mrs. Whittle's self-sacrifi cing devotion to her loved ones was very beautiful, and being de prived by the untimely, separation of returning m full measure these loving attentions, accentuates the bereavement of tbs devoted hus band, and affectionate children four daughter? and three sons. Soon after movii-g to Edgefield Mrs. Whittle, aloug with the other members of her family, brought her letter to the Baptist church of this place. We solicit your prescrip tion business.
