Our town was deeply saddened on Monday morning by the an nouncement of the death of Floyd Davis, ot his home iu Connells ville, Pa. His Edgefieid friends did not. even know that he had been ill. The dispatch announc ing his death wae sent?n Sunday afternoon and was received by Ur. J. G. Tompkius Monday morning, but did not give the time or the cause of death. Up to this writing on Tuesday no fuller information bas been received. The message stated that the iu terment would tak place this af ternoon in Conuellsville. Mr. Davis was the third son of Mr. John B. Davis. Soon after completing a busiue-ss C'Uirso at college several year3 ago, he joiu ed Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Tompkins, the lattpr being bis sister, in Gon nell8viile, Pa., where he accepted a responsible positon with the Pennsylvania railroad. Last July Mr. Davis married Miss Lucy Orr Lowrfj, of Couuellsviile, and came to Edgefieid to spend several weeks. Hs appeared then to be so strrwg and robust that bis Edge field friends can not realize tb ni death has claimed him. Besides his si*tei, Mrs. Frauk Tompkius.

Some persons are inclined to take offense at receiving a state ment from a newspaper, 1 hie should not be the case, and would not be' if those who rocjive the statements would take a business like view of the matter. When a merchant feas a number of ac counts standing on his books it is but rif?ht and -proper for him to mail statements to the pnrsons owing the accounts. If a farmer had a number of persons over the county owiog him for urjduco that he had sold theda it would be rifchf'aud proper for him to nuil statements to those who owed him. Then, it <is just as rraBonable for a newspaper to oc casionally mail statements to per sons in arrears for subscription. A short time ago we mailed an bid and much esteemed subscri ber a etatemeDt and be promptly remitted a money order ?D pay ment of t'je amount due. And so much have we been impressed with the admirable spirit arid toi.e of his letter that we publish it, leaving off the addr-ss: Mr. J L. Mirna, Edgefield, S. C. Dear Sir: Yours to band and I hasten the r^miflance. Please par don me f'-ir my iipglept. I should bav? scut it long since, and not ban* waited to i>- reminded of it. With the promise not to wait again until you ask me for my subscription, 1 remain, , Yours truly, Instead of taking offense, those who receive statements from a newspaper should take a business like view of ibo matter, and re ceive them in the same commen dable spirit that the writer of the forpgoing letter manifested.
