While in this position be took a step forward, as if to go to the door, when he fell forward, and those sitting near tnrned him over thinking perhaps he bad tripped himself, but upon examination he was dead. Dr. C. W. Barron was summoned and everything possibly was done to revive him. but of no avail. His family was notified and ! upon their arrival repeated efforts j were made to revive him. Dr. Gary ! was subject to attacks of this kind and in one or two instances his wife succeeded in reviving him. The deceased was about CO years old and was a native of New Jersey. A wife and eight children survive him. He came to this State just after the war and settled on Edisto Island, afterwards he moved to Shelbina, Mo., where he resided 25 years. His eldest eon hewing a position with the Murray Drug Copossibly was the means of his returning to this State.

HDy means, for during the time our people enjoyed themselves at dances, card parties and Christmas trees. The various denominations here all had Christmas exercises and trees, and in each particular everything was beautifully carried out, and all the children, and teachers| as well, were the recipients of many beautiful presents. The Methodist had arranged a beautiful program and their tree was simply a marvel of beauty, while the exercises were somewhat lengthy .1 j i i mey were nevertneiess very appro- i priale and greatly eDjoyed. Christmas time is not devoid of its fun which sometimes, though innocent, results, seriously and distruetibly. On the eve of Christmas some one tied two dynamite crackers together and threw them on the corner of State and Meeting street, as a result "there was a like of crashing of window fronts, as was never heard before." Something like one hundred feet of glass was broken from the explosion. The behavior of our people was generally good, very few drunks and 1 i i i i _i every ooay seemea 10 nave a gcoa time. One young man, however, while over in the city got a little too "boozy" and fearful of the reproach of his family, seeing him in this condition, decided on reaching the canal to drown his cares and fears by jumping into the water. After bidding farewell, he plunged into the mighty deep, but the cool water soon cooled him off and his friend with the assistance of others, rescued him and brought him home.
