A Painful Accident. 1 Mr. John Q. Cannon, foreman at ti j large saw mill plant of Hon. D. ] Efird, met with a painful aeeident la Thursday. Mr. Cannon was opera j ing a cut-oft or butt saw, and w; j standing on a plank, when by son | unknown reason the board was jerk( out from under him, throwing hi directly across the saw. Mr. Cannc was severely cut on the right leg, : the breast and on the chin.

Mise Beulah Fox, 8econd daugbi of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fox, died at t home of her parents in this town terday afternoon, after an illness fiye weeks with typhoid fever. All the care and love that skill physicians and an anxious honsehi could devise and apply for her co fort and assistance were brought ii play, but the fiat of Him who ra our incomings and outgoings h been issued, and despite the pray< and entreaties of all who knew a loved her, their appeals were ov ruled and between the hours of t and three the sufferer's spirit took flight to that home the Christian 1 lieves is the fulfillment of the life ( erlasting. She ran the journey of her life twenty-eight years. It is a pa marked with deeds of kindness a cheer. Flowers not thorns, sunshi , not shadow, did she scatter eve] where. With these she was lavii Truth was the inspiration of her 1 = and by kindne99 she exemplified errant worth. o-~ ?" In the death of Mi98 Fox her far ly and friends fully and keenly re ize a loss. She was a true friend, a >9 her devotion to those she loved wot make a bright chapter in any li Nothing but the thought of the 1< ing hand that has removed her c reconcile us to her Absence. Wh ]B she has gone from the scenes, 1 conflicts, the sorrows and pleasu; a+ of life, she will still live in the heai st of those who knew her best. Her ; &r tiring nature led her to hide her b< qualities from public gaze, but th were revealed to those who enjoy a_ her acquaintance, yet it was in 1 r home that ber true worth was m< conspicuous. She was a kind, lovi daughter, and her devotion to t family circle had no limit. Her tare was full of promise, and we di not ask why she was taken from ns = her prime, unless, as flowers i _ picked before the frost finds tin J that we may not witness their deci f It is sad, indeed, to see one so w I ennipped for life ta?en so unexpe edly, yet for her there was no stai ing on the border-land, gazing ii the unknown, for death came as 1 sunset dies along the hills when 1 day is over. A life that imparts si lessons is well worth living. "But now she sleeps where the d sie9 nod, And the clover hangs its head, . Where the wild birds come and 1 wild bees hum, Above her loneiy bed. She fought the ftght9, she kept i faith, Her fame shines bright and clear And her memory lives in all < mm hearts, Which will hold it ever dear." ^ The last services were held at 1 homela9t evening at 8:30 o'clock, t Revs. John W. Neeley and W. Qnick officiating. Songs were tou< ingly rendered. The flowers w many and beautiful, but not m< beautiful than the face that rested peacefully among them. Beautiful life, beautiful in death, but far m< J beautiful in the glorious resurrect] morn. , The body was carried to Batesbi this morning and interred in the fa ily plot in the Batesburg cemete The following young men acted pallbearers: E. G. Dreher, Karl Jfl Oswald, C. E. Leaphart, W. P. Ro w Jr., Dr. Rice B. Harman and Rbt - Roberta. A large party of sorrowi friends accompanied the remains. Besides her parent, Miss Pox (A) survived by three brothers and c Kr sister as follows: Messrs. Alfred 7/ Fox, James Fox, John Fox, and M Dr. James J.
