Knotts, the beloved sonsort of Col. D. J. Knotts, entered into rest at the Columbia hospital or Thursday last, the 16th day of May, 1907. She connected herself with the Bap:ist church in her girlhood and lived i consistent Christian life. She was mly forty-eight years of age and hex riends had hoped that many years oi earthly usefulness were still hers; but 'man proposes and God disposes." No one had a warmer place in the aearts of the people here than this most excellent Christian lady. Lofty in character, pleasing and attractive m manner, tender and loving in her 3onstant solicitude for the comfort md happiness of family and friends, )pen hearted, generous, pure in life; Jhe was a splendid specimen of exlalted womanhood. Calmly, quietly md strong in the Christian's hope she passed from earth and earthly cares, grieving only for the bereaved and sorrowing wrho were left behind. ;4Oh, why should our tears run down, 3ur hearts be sorely riven; For another gem in the Saviour's crown, Another star in heaven."

To the Editor of the X>i9patch: Pleasant, nice weather and every3ody is making use of it; some in pleasure visiting, others in battling with the grass. Corn i9 looking real [lice but cotton doesn't seem to take :>n much growth. The Williamson plan with corn can hardly be endured t?y those who have always been rushing their corn from the beginning. Oats will be a fairly good crop, wheat a failure. All kinds of fruit will be scarce except the blackberry. Garden vegetables are plentiful and beans will be on the table in a very few days. Setting sweet' potatoes and shooting the bugs off the white potatoes are general. Health is fine, though Mr. Jacob Price, nearly 86, fell and broke his arm Sunday morning. Dr. Oxner was promptly called and soon had it set. S. A Coming Marriage. The following announcement, or account of the wide popularity of th? contracting parties, will Dnngfortr thousands of genuine felicitations ir advance of the happy event: Mrs. John Henry Meetze announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Alice Victoria, to Mr. John Wilsor Butler, of Athens, Ga., the marriag* to occur in June.
