Fur thermore, the oil;mill was an old one that was greatly in need of repair, and would have required much hard work. The people whom he went to see were very uifcoto bim and paid all expefnses of the trip. Mr. Timmons states emphatically that if he were a young man with no family ties he would go West.

' I In the death of Dr. Horace Par- ( ker probably the oldest citizen in f the county has- been taken. He was io his eighty-sixth year when ( tho final summons came. On account of delicate beaUb, | s be left his home in New Hamp shire sixty-odd years ago, and journeyed to the Southlaud'. Being a dentist by profession, Dr. Par ker did dental work as he traveled through the country, and while stopping at Capt. James Dom's, which was ono of the principal t stopping places for those wbo r. journeyed by ptage from Edgefield I ? t r. 1 v ? to Cambridge, he was taken ill and was forced to remain in the home sometime. Afterwards he and Miss Sarah Dorn were married. They went at first to live near Cambridge but later set tled at Edgefield, whore he resided continuously afterwards. Dr. Parker practiced his pro fession very successfully until several years ago when on aocouut of the infirmities of old age he was forced to retire. His latter years he spent in quiet retirement al bis home two miles north of Edgefield. Duringa long, period of his life he was a member of the Masonio fraternity and io compliance with his request his brethren laid bis body to rest with iua beautiful oeremonifs of the Order.

Branson was in Edge ?eld on Saturday and reported the ?rops in the hail stricken district ;o be doing nicely. Of course they ire late, and. what the harvest viii be is purely conjectural, even non? so than the older, uninjured jrops. Mr.|Brunson says some per lons advised that the damaged irops be lett, that they would re ?over and make good yields. He md others did not think that way, ind time has proven their heads ;o be the longest-their judgment he best. Just to see what fhe result mu ld be, one of Mr. Branson's ?eighbors left three rows of the lamaged cotton in a field and not nore than three or four stalks on he entire three rows lived. Sup >ose, then, farmers of that section iad awaited developments and de tended upon the damaged crops, hey would now have practically io cotton an:l corn at all.

Lake, was Rosa Florence Jones before her marnage, daugh ter of N. L. and S-, E. Jonen, of Georgia. She was born in Liberty county, Georgia, on the 14th of January, 1848, and married Geo. B. Lake 27th of June, 1866, when fbe was eighteen years of age. She died 28th of June, 1907, in the 60th year of her age, after forty one years of married life. She was the mother of eleven children, eight still living. It was my good fortune to live for a number of years a neighbor to the Lake family. I therefore had the best opportunity to form a correct estimate of the charac ter and qualities of this noble wo man. Born and reared in afflu ence, with every comfort that wealth and the best social sur roundings could command, it would be natural to suppose she would quail before the storm of adversity and poverty which broke upon her as the result of war, but she met the shock with courage and patience of the highest and bravest order. She was a noble representative of the splendid women of the south who shed so much lustre on southern character, and set such an illustrious example for the generations that came after them. We hear of and read th? fervid language of eloquent orators ex tolling the courage, fortitude and staying qualities of the confeder ate Bolders, encomiums well de served, but their lot amid the perils of the battle field, the march, the hospital, hunger, exposure was more easily borne than the anxiety suffered by the heroic women at home. The men had excitement, diversion, novelty, moving from place to place, which, in a meas ure, took thnir minds away from their trials and troubles. The women'at home tortuied by the pangs of uncertainty and anxiety, watching, waiting, pray ing that the next message from the battle field, hospital or camp, might not come burdened with the announcement of death or wounds ir illness of some member of the family near aud dear to them. This required a higher order of courage than that shown by men in confederate armies. And then came "r^construc tion" that dismal page in history, Dlackened by tho vandalism of :hose in powe-. I have seen Mrs Lake bear up splendidly when ad versity and poverty stalked at her loor, as at the dodi s of most of is. Tho dark shadows there cast icross her path did not dim the iight of her Christian faith or di vert her from the straight way of luty. She reared her children in l.he fear of God, and cultivated :heir minds to bear allegiance to :he truths of her Christian reli jion, and to the precepts of an nonorable upright life. Her burial- in Edgefield ceme ;ery on Sunday, the. 30th of June ast, was a sad but forcible re ninder of how rapidly those of ier generation are passing sway The generous sympathy of the arge audience in the Baptist ?hurch that day, the eloquent pa :hos of the remarks of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Burts, all bore evidence )f the sincere and devout feeling entertained for her by her former aeighbors, with whom she had ived and worshipped and had her being for so many years of sor row, that tried men's and women's souls, and of sunshine that light ened up life's trials and troubles. Ber life and example is worth more to the generations follow? mg, than a thousand women who spend their lives pursuing the glitter and trumpery of fashion, and subordinate the plain duties Df life to the frivolities which Fade and pass away into nothing ness. In tbe death of Mrs. Lake a ?obie woman, noble in her fami ly, religious and~ social life, has passed from earth, honored and respected. "She united in herself the rare qualities of the heroine and the Christian." I lay this tribute, imperfect as it is, on her grave, as a token of my sincere appreciation of her bigh qualities and exalted char acter M. C. Butler, Sr. Mill.
