Mr. J D Hughey coud?cted th?

appropriate.

piece Mis." J L Mims wrote about
the convention which conveued at

A W. C. T. U. Member.
Visits His Old Home.
Dr. B. F. Calhoun, of Beau
mont, Tex., is spending several
days al the home of bis brother
in-law, Col; S. Br Mays, having
stopped over while returning ;to
hie borne from Washington, ft: C.,
where he recently attended the
Tuberculosis Congress. Mr.?. Eu-,
genia Middleton, d)r. Calhoun's
only surviving sister, is-also at
the home of Col. Mays. -Dr. Cal
houn moved from Edgefield' to
Texas in 1866. He and Mrs. Mid
dleton are the only surviving
members of a family of five sons
and two drughters. Upon being
questioned by The Advertiser's
representative about the crop con
ditions rn Texas, Er. Calhoun
stated that they are making more
cottm .than they can gather. Far
mers are offering $1 per hundred
and are tillable to get pickers at
that pricv The record breaking
crop in Texas accounts to some
extent fo'* the low price that pre
vails.
Fire in Buncombe. ,
Thursday night last about one
o'clock Dr. J. G. Tompkins was
awakened by light rrftected in his
room and the roar of fire. Oo
going ??t bo found one of the
nouses in his back yard burning.
The alarm was immediately given
and several hundred-people gather
ed to offer assistance in checking
the flames. The building in which |
tlie fire" originated could nut b^
saved, nor c-uld a small wood
hr;?se jiear by, but the bucket
brigade and tho chemical eugine
k^pt the fire from spreading to
buildings in the lot. Hi? resi
dence was protected from th3
flames by several large oaks. But
for the fact that the small huild
ing near the lof. was covered with
tin, which prevented the flybe of
sparks, tho barn and ; fables
would doubtless bav? burnpd ?Iso
Dr. Tompkins had no insurance
on the two boises but the con
tenes, consisting of seed cotton,
oats, cotton seed and stock feed,
were insured. The loss aft^r de
ducting th?insurance willmount
to about $400. Th* property was
iuebrpd in one of Mr. H.A.Smith's
ora pan ie and, as the insurance
adjuster?. happened to be. in
Edgefield the next day, the loss
was paid in Ieee than twenty four
hours after the fire, occurred.
.OBITUARY.
.Sacred to the memory, of Mrs.
Jane Whitlock, born September
18th. 1818 in Abbeville, S. C.,
died October 3rd 1908, 90 years,
one month and three days old.
She had been a great sufferer for
the past eight weeke.baviug fallen
and broke her bip. Her maiden
name was M?BB Jane i,White. ,She
was twice ms-rried? -firf t to: Julius
Blejdsoe tbeiflecond *ime to (Wil
liam WhitlocT^Sheuuited with the
church/^-w^n5a^ and
J*r?xTTn the.Master's service until
the day of her death. After she
became sd old the familv had
prayer meeting at the house for
her bi-nefit. Her beautiful Chris
tian life was seen and felt not
ouly in her- church and amoug
her neighbors but most of all in
herb?me. When the summons
came it found her ready to go. It
was a pleasure to be with her aud
sit by her bedside in her last days.
Her loved ones, grieve over her
departure, but they sorrow not as
those who have no hope, for they
know where she has gone. Their
sorrow is softened by the assur
ance of a happy meeting in a land
where there is no more parting
and all tears are wiped away. She
lived on a high plane and beauti
fully exemplified the life of faith
Few have had her troubles and
few have borne troubles more pa
tiently. /;
Her crowning grace wa* un
selfishness and its reward was the
joy of being loved. Death cauuot
wholly remove such a oue from
our midst. There remains to her
dear relatives and friends and all
who eo tenderly loved heir, the
frayraoce of her pure and saintly
life.
She leaves to mourn her death
one son, Mr. J. C. Whitlock, four
step-children,- three nieces and a
great many great nieces and neph
ews. ??
At the time of ber death she
was a member of Mt. Zion church.
