C.. on Saturday morning and bis body was laid to rest in bur village cemetery on Monday morning beside the grave of his lamented father, M. H. Mims. The funeral was held in the Edgefield Baptist church, of which church be was a membpr. In the summer of 1895 Mr. Mims went to Weldon to manage a large oil mill for Senator Came ron, directing the affairs of the mill very satisfactorily until it was destroyed by fire several year* afterwards. In the meantime, he became so attached to Weldon and the people of the place that he decided to cast his lot perma nently among them. After the burning of Seuator Cameron's mill M*. Mims devoted a portion of his time each year to the con struction of oil mills and to in stalling oil mill machinery in that section of North Carolina. Between the oil mill seasons he gave direction to his farming in terests m the subuibs of Weldon. Owing to the great distance to Edgefield-Weldon being near the Virginia liue-Mr. Mims' visits to his old borne were not very fre quent. His last visit wa^ in Feb ruary 1904. Being then Strong and robust, a splendid specimen of manhood physically, bis loved ones suspected nothing of bis re cent failing health. In his letters he never referred to h?3 physical condition, fearing that it would cause anxiety on the part ol those at home. Distressing tidirgs reached Edgefield on Thursday afternoon last by tolegram from Mr. Mims'. physician to the effect . that he was critically ill with pneumonia. His youngest brother, Mr. Joe Eve Mime, left for WeHon on tbp first train, reaching his bedside about 4 o'olock Saturday morning. Al though desperately ill, Mr. Mims recognized his brother who bad come to minister to him, and seemed greatly reli ved by bis presence. Between the paroxyras of pain he conversed calmly for 8evpral hours, being fully con scious that be was nearing the end. His mind was clear aud be was perfectly rational to the fin?t momeut. Mr Mims' last word was an affectionate "Good-bye" to his brother in whose arms be breath ed his last at 10:35 o'clock Satur day horning, heart failure being the immediate cause of death. Because; x>f his long absence from home and very short illness, Mr. Mims' death was a great blow to bis relatives and friends. He issur'*: *d by a devoted mother, Mrs. * '."ate Mims, e. sister, Mrs. J. F '?en, and three brothers, Mr. ?. J. Mims, Mr. J. L. Mims and Mr; J. E. MimB. ** Letters from sympathizing friends in Weldon state that Mr. Mims was universally popular, everybody being bis friend, and that be will be greatly missed.in his adopted North Carolina home. Stevens Creek's New Pastor,. Rev. D. W. Heckle bas moved froL, Orangeburg and bis address now is Dyson, S. C. He has accept ed Good Hope and Chestnut Hill churches, io Saluda county, Ste vens Creek, in Edgefield and Mt. Hermon in Greonwood. This gives Bro. Heckle an excellent field and we*hope to bear good news of his work. Bro. Heckle is highly es teemed in Orangeburg.-Baptist Courier. Encouraging to Afr. Hender son. Hon. D. S. Henderson, of Aiken, is in town ou a visit to his broth er, Col. C. G. Henderson. Mr. Henderson is a Colletonian, and is^always cordially welcomed by his many friends in this county.

Morgan, the public cotton weigher, says he has weigh ed 6,500 balee np to this time Piobably 1,000 bales have been stored in the two warehouses here, which were not weighed by Mr. Morgan.

Those who were preseut, however, passed a very plcasaut evening. The re ceipts were thirty-odd dollars. Death of Mrs. Timmerman. A Pleasant Lane home has beeu rendered sad and desolat? by the removal of the young wife and mother- Early Saturday morning the beloved wile of Mr. Jerome P. Timmerman succumbed to au at tack of pneumonia. All that medi cal skill and loved ones could do was done to arrest the ravages cf the' dread disease but all lo no avail. God having called this youn? woman up higher, no hu man agency could prolong her stay on earth. The intermeut was held on Sun day at Berea, of which churchy Mrs. Timruerman was a member.
