Tutt's Liver Pills /Cure all Liver Troubles. Deaths. Miss Mary Olivia, daughter of r Mr and Mrs. J. H. Meetze, was born December 30th, 1864, and died February 27 th, 1896. It has been said that "death loves a shining mark," and in the lamentable and untimely end of this estimable youDg lady, the saying is true. Having a sweet and gentle disposition, she won the confidence, love and esteem of her relatives, friends and acquaintances. None knew her i . i t o ii.:_ i DUl w love uer. oympaimu uy ua.K ture, the distress arid troubled found in her a warm and sympathetic friend, rejoicing with those who rejoiced and sorrowing with those that sorrowed. In early life she gave her . heart to God and her hand to the church, and her life was a beautiful epistle, shining and glowing with deeds of kindness and charity, and ' living up to the ordinances of her Jchurch and the commands of her Savior. Taking Jesus for her exam--1 pie and guide in the journey of life, she meekly followed in his footsteps, ; so that when entering the dark shadow of the valley of death, "bis rod and his staff supported" her, and she gently passed from earth to heaven, fearing no evil. In all church work she took an active and earnest part and was successful iu all she undertook. But her life's work is over and she has entered that eternal rest j which remaineth to the people of God, leaving behind her a record fragrant with the sweetness of a lovely ; Christian life. Rev. J. G. Graichen, ; her pastor, preached a beautiful and touching eulogy over her remains, after which they were laid away to j rest by the side of her loved ones 1 who have preceded her to the spirit ! land, in the presence of a large con- j course of sorrowing relatives and : friends. The following gentlemen : acted as pall bearers: J. E Rawl. W. j P. Roof, Julian E. KaufmanD, J. A. ! | Muller, J. Brooks WiDgard and J. E. ' Fort. To the stricken parents and sorrowing relatives we extend our 1 heartfelt sympathies. Ere the community bad recovered j from the shock at the death of Miss ! ; Meetze, it was again called upon to! 1 < mourn in sadness the death of an- j other lady prominent in church af- ! jlan o. Mrs. Sallie H. Snelgrove, was born , Jane 12, 1862 and sweetly fell j asleep in Jesus March 2, 1896, after i -an illness extending over three years, t j with that dreaded disease, consumption. She bore her long and painful j illness as becomes one who had made j her peace with God and relied im- j plicitly upon his promise of a blessed ! immortality beyond the grave. She i was devoted to her church and all its | interests. In the discharge of her i Christian duties she was active and j zealous, never complaining at the de- I mands made upon her time, but j faithfully performing all her duties cheerfully and uncomplainingly. She i was a prominent and active member j of the AVomans' Aid Society of St. | Stephen's Evangelical Lutheran j church, being for sometime its indefatigable secretary. After an eloquent sermon by her pastor, Rev. J. G. Graichcn, her remains were in- j terred in the grave yard connected j with the church. The following i gentlemen were the pall bearers: S. O. Kaminer, James P. Meetze, E. B. Roof, M. D. Harm an, C. S. Brad- j ford and J. Brooks Wingard. I She leaves a son, mother and a f large circle of relatives and friends ( to mourn her departue, to whom we * extend our warmest sympathies in . Ihi3 hour of their sore affliction. i I I will be in Lexington Monday, i Tuesday and Wednesday, March 9, 10 and 11, to make photographs. J. A. Mullikin', Photographer of Columbia.

New York Fashion Notes. Cotton dress goods in Persian style | with metal woven into them will be j very popular during the Summer season. Grass cloth is another fashionable fabric. Some varieties have twilled stripes with dots of white or I colored linen, while others have fancy plaids and designs in various colors. The French Pattern Dresses are made j very elaborately with applique flowers, embroidery and bands of insertion. The new zephyr cottons have heavy threads woven into the outer surface i which give to them the appearance | of wcolen materials so that they are j especially adapted for street costume j in warm weather. The newest importations for shirt waists are shown in these delicate tissues. The shirt waist of this season is easily recog- j nized by immense drooping bishop j sleeves which are usually finished with a turn over cuff. These shirt waists are especially satisfactory because of their adjustable collars. Other fancy waists are make up in the cotton crepons which appear in large plaids of brilliant colors and in dotted Swiss muslin, the latter.being very charming in design this season. They are much embroidered and ornamented with Dresden effects. ; These waists are more or less adorned with taffeta ribbons which are aunounced by importers to be the principal feature of the Summer toilette. These new ribbons are seen i in chine effects with large designs of flowers in bright colors. The French ! ombre taffeta ribbons change in color j from blue to green, red to blue, rose I to cream, and other new combinations which make their first appearance, j The Louis XVI flower striped ribbon j are again in vogue with more beautiful coloring than heretofore seen, j The most fashionable sleeve has a medium fullness which begins below ; the shoulder. A small puff with a shirred under sleeve is one of the favorite modes. The spring skirts j have less fullness than formerly, j One sees the circular from with fewer ripples and the fullness massed in the center of the back, forming four, five or six rolling gores. The fovorite interlining is the finest quality of I French hair cloth which gives grace- 1 ful curves without adding weight.

GOOD FOR EVERYBODY and everyone needs it at all times of the year. Malaria is always about, and the only preventive and relief is to keep the Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit, and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIMmons Liver regulator, the red z. Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio, says: "SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR broke a case of Malarial Fever of three years' standing for me, and less than one bottle did the business. I shall use it when in need, and recommend it." Be sure that you get it. Always look for the RED Z on the package. And don't forget the word REGULATOR. It is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR, and there is only one, and every one who takes it is sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS ALL IN THE REMEDY.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Please spare the space in your valuable columns to note a few of the most interesting and enterprising firms that headquarter at the lumber station of Arthurs, S. C. From the amount of business that is carried cn here, makes us oftentimes wonder why the people have not been distinguished long before now. To say the least of it, would be to say that her citizens are live, energetic business men. There is now a large amount of rosin that is awaiting cars to be bhipped to the naval market. This business has been successfully carried on by Messrs. Steel & Co., but will add that they have just recently launched out into the mill business. Beside this there are numerous chords of wood on our side track, but for us to attempt to identify all paities concerned would be too great an undertaking, but will say that they all deserve the highest commendation. We do not feel equal to the occasion to give a deffinite description of our most important factor and lumber magnet, Mr. D. Burwell, who controls five or six mills all of which load and ship their lumber from this point. We will further add that the operators of these mills are our most prominent and thorough going citi zens, and a description of them would be an unjust attempt. But allow us to say that we regret that Mr. B. is not a South Carolinian, but as he comes from our sister State we take special pride in mahiDg mention of his fine business qualities. He has dow under his control what has been known as the Hampton timber and has long been cherished as a family relic. In connection with the lumber business our efficient factor is utilizing his small timber into crossties and chord wood, which means more work for poor men and bread for the hungry. We are to be congratulated to bave iu our midst Mr. Spotwood Burwell, a junior brother of cur proprietor who is assisting him in carrying on this mammoth business, and we judge from his pleasing manners and I the congeniality that is so clearly demonstrated as a young man of extraordinary ability. The last but not least is our tie inspector, whose name we will with- j hold, as he carries with him a j deathly weapon. "We mean by this a pencil when properly applied to a crosstie that is not to the Southern Railway specifications, mean~ death to the man that waisted his untiring j effoits upon timber that cbuld not i stand the test. Sometimes our inspector intertains the thought of having to make a fool race, all on account of having such good eyes that he cannot fail to detect the tecnical- | ities that are often hidden by men, ! who are fair representatives of the Etheopian race. We cannot well close without mak- , ing a passing remaik about tLe ; home on the hill, which is so grace- j fully presided over by the Misses ! Roof's and who entertain their guest ' with their unbounded hospitality, j "We will say just here that our land- I iord, Mr. Jesse Roof, is a man of i ! sterling qualities, but as he is a 1 widower, find it right difficult to j describe him, only by saying that he | is like a bird without a mate or a : ship without a rudder.

Fink Was born in the year 1834, in Rowan couDtv, N. C. He lived on a farm nntil the age of 18, when he went into the printing and publishing business, which he followed until the comtremerm nt of the war. Several vears previous to secession he estabj 1 shed, edited and published the "Lexington Flag, a weekly newspaper in Lexingt >n, S. C , to which State had moved. At the beginning cf the war he went to the front with the 1st South Carolina regiment and kept his readers posted by editorial correspondence to his paper. After the tirst year of the war he suspended the publication of his paper and joint d Gen. Wade Hampton's cavalry, where he served to the finish in Co. F 5th S. C. regiment, following the br ve and gallant Hampton through many bloody conflicts. His town and home fell in the line of Sherman's march through South Carolina, which meant destruction and devastation to everything- in its path, and when he returned after the surrender, he found his home and town in ashes and all his earthly possessions swept away, except a loving wife and babe, an unsullied character and a ragged suit of soldier's clothes. He then moved to Bartow county, Ga., there to begin life anew. He bought a farm on time, wer.t between the plow-handles, and by hard labor, pluck and energy paid for it. He has always been active in all movements to advance the best interests of the farmers and other wealth producers of the State. In the days of the Grange he was a faithful worker in that organization, and later in agricultural clubs in his own county. He early espoused the cause of the Farmer's Alliance, believing it to be a great educator of the people in the work of reform. Born and raised a democrat, strictly of the Jefi'ersonian typo, he adhered to the organized party until he saw it was ignoring all democratic principles and departing from the faith, he then cut loose from it and acted independently in politics, choosing rather to stand for principle than with a party that had deserted all the principles that its name implied, and he new maintains that the People's party is the only true democratic party in existence. Never having had any political aspirations, he only accepted the nomination of his party after the most earnest appeals of his friends who elected him by a handsome ma jority. He made no promises in his campaign that he has not endeavored to fulfil. While he has made no bumcomb speeches on the floor of the house, he has always been in his seat and alert to the interests of his constituents and State, as every recorded vote on the pages of the house journal will show. He served 011 the important committee of finance, where with the aid of other populists and a few conservative democrats, he did much in holding down extravagant appropriations, and taking care of the State's finances. He returns to his people with a conscioi siess of having been faithful in the discharge of the obligations impc sod upoD h m.
