Zinker, and bore away on pinion the bright, lovable and innocent little Herman William. Little Herman was born July 2J, 1897, and departed this life Apiil 1(>, 1 SOS. His little pilgrimage here was short, but God saw tit in his ! providence to pluck the lovely little j flower and transplant it in better 'a j heavenly soil) He was the joy of J papa, the pride of mamma and a de- I light to all: but all have to submit j to the will of Him who said, "Suffer j little children to C( me unto me and j for bid them not, for of such is the j kingdom of heaven." His little remains were interred in the cemetery at this place, in tne presence of a large congregation. May a kind Providence pour into the souls of the bereaved father aud j mother the oil of grace to soothe j thtir stricken hearts. May it be a ! golden cord ever binding the part nts nearer together and drawing | them closer to the bosom of the Father. The btreaved parents have the deep sympathy of the entire town and community and especially Billy Felix. j Gaston, S. C, May 1G, 1898. AMBROSE POWELL SIIIREY. The subject of our sketch was born October o, 1871, and died Apiil j 21, 189S. Death always brings sor- j row. Even when the aged are taken j awav there is ever some aching hearts ! / O to pay a last mournful tribute: but j oh, when he seizes as bis victim one | in the prime of a useful life, the j event is sad indeed. That it was in ! the death of our young friend, which has cast a gloom throughout the community in which he was so well known and so highly esteemed. Ambrose was a model of perseverence, honesty and piety excelsior was his motto. Whatever task he attempted, he never gave it up until it was completed. A spirit of thoroughness characterized his every undertaking from his simple duties at home when a child to those in which j he had to meet and face the world. | In early years he developed a fond- | ness for intellectual training and at j dear old Gumspriugs Academy made ' sure the foundation for the higher I knowledge which he afterwards ob- J tained. His associates at this place can testify to the admirable character which he possessed as a school boy. He was ever respectful and obedient to his teachers, studious in his lessons, kind and condescending to his playmates, never engaging in those petty strifes which are so common among school children. As a school boy we best knew him. Since that time we have not had the pleasure of being very much in his society, hut j j oh, what tender memories hf.ng aiound those school days! "The smiles, the trars. of childhood years, ! The words of love then spoken. The eyes that shown now dimmed and "one, | The cheerful hearts now broken " As he grew older Mr. Shirey j formed the intention of b< ing a school ; teacher, and accordingly added to ! his already liberal education by tak- 1 ing a thorough course with American i Correspondence College of New York, ; from which he obtained a diplomo i February 23, 1803: also at Summit Literary Institute, where he com pleted the course, May IS, 1894. After successfully teaching for some time he entered school at Holbrook j Xoimal College, Kncxviile, Tarn , graduating with honor October 25, 1895. For the next two years, Verona High School, Dupler, S. C. ! won a high reputation under his able j tutorsh p. Mr. Shirey naturally posi r 1 sessed a fondness for the woik oi i teaching and persued bis calling with an earnest zeal that should characterize every true teacher. He always seized every opportunity to improve bis mental faculty, and never failed ! to gaiu tbe confidence of the people and win tbe esteem and affection of his pupils in every locality in which i he served. Tbe last school he atI tended was Leesville Busiuess Colj lege, during the summer of 18rj7, ! from which pi ice he graduated August 27. Thus was his short li'e spent, in storing up useful knowledge and imparting it to others in the perfection of the powers which God had given him. i This fatal illness was very short. naaaMBaaBDanHHai TXT. H: r, Solicts a Share of All that medical skill and loving j Lands could do was done to alleviate bis suffering. For two days bis j spirit bovered between life and death. ! and then the tnd came. On Thurs- j day evening, Apiil 2lst, just as the j last day beams were fading away, ! the sun of life went down, and his j precious spirit winged its everlasting j flight, leaving us to weep o'er bis ; cold, still form. He was buried at Old Lexington phnreli where lie nrofessed COLVer- ' v.. 1 sion about four years ago aud up till i the time of his death had lived in keeping with his profession. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Riant on of Prosperity, who : spoke sweet words (if comfort to the I grief stricken family and sorrowing i friends, from ltevs. 21, l."aud there ; shall be no more sea;"' our deceased j friend haviug crossed over the sea of I death, there is no longer any division between him and the joys of heaven. ' There was a large congregation pres- { eut at the funeral, many of whom i were his former students, who came J with offerings of flowers and tear stamped faces for a last look at their much loved teacher, who had taught them so many lessons of goodness, beauty and truth. Rut his noble life has closed, and God alone knows the grand possibilities to which he might have attained had it not pleased Him to remove him so soon. Yes, he is gone. Oh the depths of sadness in those words. His familiar form is hidden from our view by the little flower covered mound in the old ctiurciiyara; dul ; time can never blot out of memory his cheerful face and his bright smile, which even in death illumined the calm pale features, fixed there, no doubt, just as his spiiit caught the first glimpse of the beauties of paradise, farewell, Ambrose. 'Thou art gone to the grave; we do longer behohi thee, Nor tread the rough paths of the world 1 by thy fide: l Bat toe wide arms of l ercy are spread to tiiiold ih e. And siuner< may hope, since the Savior hiith tiled. "Thou art gone to the grave but we will not ; deplore thee; Since God was thy guardian, thy ransom, thy guide: He gave ihee, he took thee, and he will restore thee; A: d death h ts no sting since the Savior hath died." Friend and Schoolmate. Lorena, S. C, May 2, 1808. EemrkaTals Esscus. Mrs. Michael Curtiu, Plainfield, 111., makes the .statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her j lungs: she was treated for a month by ber family physician, but grew worse. He told ber she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she | bought a bottle and to her delight j found herself benefited from first j dose. She continued its use and j after taking six bottles, found her- j self sound and well; now does her : own housework, and is as well as ; she ever was.

The visitor at the business man's 1 j de>k might have been a tramp, and | i he might not. In any event, lie was not there asking a loan. "Do you want to know bo-v to { | make a dollai?" he inquired, politely, j ' Ye-.

"My information is valuable, sir. \ j I: will cost you 10 ceuts." j "That's two beers." i ' Yes sir, including the lunch that j goes with it." ' Here's two dimes. Now, tell me." } "Well, sir, when a friend strikes you for s."j lend si.

I . i^roitTCiCTOiL Your Valued Fatroi A Remarkable Case. The following ease was printed originally in The Monitor, a news paper published at Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as to its truthfulcess, consequently a close watch was kept on the case for two years and the original statement has now been completely verified. Mr. Peteh had been a hopeless j parahtic for five years. His case has had wide attention. He was i confined to his bed, was bloated almost beyond recognition, and could not take solid food. Doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. The Ouna- ! dian Mutual Life Association after a thorough examination, paid him his total disability claim of $1,C?">0, regarding him as forever incurable. For three years he lingered in this condition. After taking some of Dr. "Williams* Pink Pills for Pule People vJfel 'IIW ' PAID HIS CLAIM. there was a slight change, a tendency to sweat freely. Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed by a pricking sensation, until at last the blood began to course freely and vigorously through his body. Soon he was restored to his old time health. A reporter for The Monitor recently called on Mr. Fetch again and was told: "You may say there is no doubt as to my cure being permanent. I am in better health than when I gave you the first interview and certainly attribute my cure to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "To these pills I owe my release from the living death, and. I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them." Such is the history of one of the most remarkable cases in modern times. Iu the face of such tes;imony, can anyone say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of every sufferer?man, woman or child? Is not the case, in truth, a miracle of modern medicine? These pills are sold by all druggists and are considered by them to be one of the most valuable remedial agents known to science. Sand in "War. Admiral Irwin, in the course of his testimony before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, was asked what be thought of the defenses of Porto Pico. He said that the fortifications of San Juan were "magnifi- j cent pieces of masonry," impregna- | ble in their day, but now "of no more value than a wooden fence" against the 12 or 13 inch guns of the Indiana. Tbe admiral quoted the opinion of Gen. Gdmore, after an extensive experience, that sand is the only material that can stand tbe terrific pounding of modern guns. Geu. Gilmore said that if he were ordered to build a foit 200 miles the nearest sand he would have it hauled to the spot in wagons, if necessary. A few sand bags at night make good the ravages of the day, and it is not until the crest of the paraphet is shot away that the foitification becomes untenable. The li;e on the works at San Juan seem to have shown tbe truth of Admiia^ Irvin's prediction. Little Men "Were Handy in 1331. Lc-wistou, Me., -Journal. 'AYe fellows were enlisted down on the Penobscot," said Mr. D 13 Cres sey, of Lewbton, today, "and there were twenty-five of us boys who were too small to do the work, so the enlisting officer said. "We went down to Augusta and were thrown out, while a lot (f heavy wood choppers and farmers were put in our places. "Governor R jbie, who was then paymaster, got us back.

It was a queer looking | crowd, but it got there, for the men j did not tire the horses out, and at ! night they were as fresh as could be I expected. I think the light men make best soldiers in the long run for many branches of army life. There are more than 200 excellent ports in Cuba.

Some very large rock fish are being caught now from the Edisto river. One was caught last week about 4 miles above Orangeburg which was a monster hsb, weighing 23 1 4 pounds. It wa9 big enough to shallow a mule? so to speak. During the summer of 1891, Mr. Chas. P. Johnson, a well known attorney of Louisville, Ky., had a very severe attack of summer complaint. Quite a number of different remedies were tried, but failed to afford any relief. A friend who knew what was needed procured biin a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which quid ly cured him and he thinks, saved his life. He says that there has not been a day since that time that he has not bad this remedy in his household. He speaks of it in the highest praise and takes much pleasure in recommending it when ever sn opportunity is offered. For sale by J. E Kaufmann. Mamma?My son, you must go to school!

Cowboys and Indians. ! i i i Col. Henry luman Believes They j Should be Sent to Cuba. That fine old Western scout and ; gentleman, Col. Henry Iomau, of ! Iviusas, author of ''The Old San Fe I . j Trail," was talking about the war ! \ with Spain the other day on Broad I ; way Col Intinn, having seen much ! ; service in Indian warfare on the ! , plains under Generals Sheridan, I ; Custer, Sully and other famous In| dia " fighters, and being a life long j j triei d of Col. Cody (Buffalo Bill), I j his remarks are interesting, as giving j the general Western idea of how j the campaign in Cuba might be conducted if such men as Buffalo Bill ! and a supporting force of cowboys j and Indians were impressed into the j service. Col. Inman was enthusias ! tic over the bravery of Col. Cody, ; whose many hair breadth escapes on i the plains are, perhaps, better known ! to bim than the general public. .-r. ii- i /vi ; greauy ueiuveu is \jji. j all over the West," said Col.

The Indians, too, i who both fear and respect him?for ! the North Atneiican savage is no ; coward and regards brave deeds i with n verence unknown to the white i j man?would be glad to fight under J j him. As an evidence of this, after i j Col.

There are about riuy ntler cowboys connected with the Wild West: who, if it should land in Cuba, would make j it lively for the Spani>h regulars. "I hear that Governor Leedy, of j my State (Kansas) has organized a I ragimr-nt of cowboys, fresh from the INY. COLI MHIA, S. C., October IS?tf. I 'range,' and given the command to i the gallant young Fred Funston, ! who is now a Lieutenant Colonel in 1 i the Cuban army, and who is at home in Kansas recovering from several i bad wounds incurred in as many en| gagements. The island of Cuba, as j I understand its topography, is specially adapted to guerilla warfare, ! and for that reason, I believe a couple : or three thousand Indian warriors, with their completement of cowboys, would soon put all the Spanish regulars hors de combat, for their s is a novel method of effective fighting, of which European armies know noth ing, with the exception of the English, pet haps, in India. "I firmly believe that .'1,000 well armed Iudian warriors, under the leadership of such a strategist, diplo- ! mat and statesman as was Sitting Bull could soon clear the island of all the Spanish regulars there, with the help of the cowboys of the 'range,' under tbe command of the prince of scouts, Col. W. F. Cody. I am iD clined to believe that Gen. Miles will, the moment he starts for Cuba, summons to his aid, as the advance guard of his troops, to find the whereabouts of the enemy and the best camping places, Col. Cody, with a retinue of cowboys; and, perhaps, a number of Indian warriors, whose intrepid and skillful work as trailers in the interior of such a country would be of great value. A Man Who Is Tired All the time, owing to impoverished blood, should take Hood's Sarsaparilla to purify and enrich his blood and give him \itality and vigor. This condition of weakness and lack of energy is a natural consfqueuce of the coming of warmer weather, which finds the system debilitated and the blood impure. A good spring medicine is a necessity with almost everyone. Hood's Sarsaparilla is what the millions take iu the spring. Its great power to purify and enrich the blood and build up health is one of the facts of common experience. 29 ? ^ Best Magazine.

A quack doctor stood on his wagon at a street corner selling his cure-all. A group of people gathered about him, and he uudertouk to explain to theui the anatomy of the throat. "My dear friends," he began, "perhaps you don't know it; but there are ! two passages that go from the back of the mouth to the stomach. One is called u-sophagus, and the other is (esophagi. Now, the solid victuals goes down the oesophagus, and the liquids down the (esophagi. "Over the top of the holes is a cover with hinge in the middle, and when you swallow beefsteak the little door over the (esophagus flies open, and the little door over the (esophagi drops down, and vice versa when you take a drink of coffee." This description proved too much for a farmer who stood on the edge of the crowd. Shaking with laughter, he remarked, in a loud tone: "Gosh, but those doors must go flipper flopper when a fellow eats bread and milk." Advantages of Worryicg a Little. Don't join a Dont Worry Club. Don't try not to worry. While contentment is a pleasing virtue, the people you know who are contented would be better off if they worried more. Absolute contentment and indifference to the possible troubles of to morrow will laud anyone in the poorhouse. The cow dosn't worry, neither does the clam, but people are built to worry, and it was intended they should. On the other hand, if you worry too much it will land you in the insane asylum. It is the insane asylum on the one hand and the poor farm on the other; the point is to worry just enough to keep out of both of them. Bad Girl.
