One had preceded her to the spirit
world, another, an iofaDt but two
weeks old at her death, breathed out
its feeble little life on December the
13th, makiDg its earthly stay 37 days.
She bore her sufferings with Christian
fortitude. She was a noble
Christian woman, who tried to follow
in the footsteps of her Lord and
Master. She was never heard to
speak evil of any one and was ever
ready to sympathize with, comfort
and console her loved ones and
friends. In her dying ho.ir she
praised her Savior and seemed happy
because she was nearing "the beautiful
home." She was an affectionate
wife, a devoted mother, a kind and
loving daughter and sister. She is a
great loss to the bereaved husband,
children, mother, brothers, relatives
and friends. But why should we
weep? By her patience and gentleness
she fully showed to all about
her the reality the of religioD of Jesus
Christ. Her spirit has returned to
the God who gave it.
She was a faithful member of Boiling
Springs Methodist church from
girlhood till last summer when she
and her husband transferred their

churches of Columbia. She was a
good worker in the church and Sunday
school.
After funeral services, conducted
by her pastor, Kev. Truesdale, assisted
by Rev. Lawson, her body was
laid away in the cemetery at Florence
church.
Also after funeral services conducted
by Rev. Truesdale, the body
of the little babe was laid to rest
near that of the mother on the day
following its death.

Botoery.
For sometime past there has been
much complaint from the merchants
of this vicinity concerning the robbery
of goods in transit on the
Southern railway. Just before the
Christmas holidays a car containing
whiflkv ennaicrned tn the dianenRarv
J , _ 1) ? -- X J
at this place, was broken into and a
quantity of the 4,booze:' stolen.
On laet Wednesday night the
depot was broken into, the entrance
being made by prizing open the iron
bars to one of the windows of the
office and raising the sash. Express
envelopes were torn open and their
contents scattered over the floor of
the office and some goods taken,
among which was a box of tobacco.
Some shavings thoroughly saturated
with kerosene oil was piled up in the
depot and ignited, but the blaz9 was
discovered in time to be extinguished
before the fire had made any headway.
A portion of the plunder was
secreted under the store of Jl. R.
Hartley 6c (Jo., where it was discovered
by some passers by the next
day. The depot agent, Mr. A. L.
Hartley, and some citizens, believed
that the burgular would return to
secure the stolen property, and a shot
gun loaded with number 7 shot was

rigged up with a string, one end of
which was fastened to the trigger
and the other to the tobacco box in
such a manger that the box could
not be moved without causing the
gun to explode.
Sure enough the thief came back
early Friday morning and in attempting
to remove the box, the gun went
off and the contents peppering the
face and hands of the thief. With a
cry of pain the thief made good his
escape, leaving behind a trail of
blood as far as the section houses,
where all-traces of him were lost.
lae police or uoiumnia were aavisea
to keep a sharp look out for the
thief and Saturday morning near the
BlandiDg street depot, in that city,
officer Boland saw a strange negro
with bis right hand bandaged, and
hurt otherwise. He held him up,
examined him and it was not long before
the officer found that he was the
fellow wanted. He was detained in
the city prison until Saturday afternoon
when he was brought to this
place and lodged in jail to await trial
at the February term of the court.
He gave his name as Tom Boman
and claims Leesville as his home.
He is a young buck of about 15
years ol age.
Tbe morning that he was shot the
morning through freight train from
Columbia was robbed at Arthurs's
of a quantity of goods and it is
thought that he had a hand in this
robbery also. He was shot while
that train was standing at the depot
in this place.
Ia connection with this case Constable
P. H. Corley displayed remarkable
detective skill in the recovery
of a 6mall but valuable piece
of machinery belonging to SaxeGotha
Mills which was taken from
the express office on the morning of
the robbery.

burned the sacred love of God in the
heart of the great reformer which
was "Justification by Faith''. It is
the gift of God. From that land
came a Wingard, whose heart was
warm with this faith, and settled in
what is now called Lexington county,
and soon the church of God was
built and the goodness and mercy of
God was bestowed on its builders,
