CHRISTOPHER HUNSINGER FATALLY SHOT While Cut With a Serenading Party-Lived Only About Twenty-Four Hour?. Last Friday evening, a little after 9 o'clock, Christopher Hunslngev, while out with a serenading party, waa shot by Bud Priestly, colored, the shot taking effect almost in the center of the fore head, the bullet penetrating the braiu. Almost miraculously he lingered for twenty-four hours, his death oeourring at 10 o'clock Saturday night. Mr. Hun slnger was about 10 years of age, and hie sudden death is a sourco of deep sorrow to his maqy friends.

Max well, who was one'of the serenading party, was the third witness on the st and, and stated that ho was near Mr. Hunsingrr whon the shot was fired, and that he baw Bud Priestly fire the shot. Bailus Kirksoy, colored, was the fourth and last witness, his testimony agreeing with that of Mr. Maxwell, oxoept that he did not see the man who fired the shot, but was satisfied that it was Priestly. The object of tho inquest being only to establish tho facts as to tho causo of death, and at whoso hands, no further examination of witnesses was held.

These are pleasant occasions for the sein xii children and patrons as well and tho teaohers and pupils should receive the support ano; encouragement of tbO. public by attending whonover an occasion of this hind ls afforded them. Wo find nuder our town ordinances, thp following nuder tho head, "respect ing nuisances:" "Section 4. That it 81(411 bo unlawful for any porson or per sons owning oi opel at ing steam engines of any kind within tho corporate limits of the town of Seneca, S. C., to uso the whistle Of same to tho annoyance of the ciU/.ehs thereof by excessively loud Or long ^blowing, etp." This .ordinance is daily violated and tho "loud and long blowing" of tho railroad engines is dis tressing to weak nerves, ns well as a "nuisance" in many other respects, as .''those operating tho engines" are not particular as to the hour, and ot len our people aro awakod at night with tho excessive loud and long blowing. We ask why this nuisance is allowed? Carl Smith, now of Newry, was also a visitor to Seneca last Sabbath, attending divine service at tho Presbyterian ohurch at botb morning and ovouing service.

Doar Sir : Your business ls. when m house burua down, to give tho owner so rae money to build a new one. It is n good business. Queer that tbs world got on so long without it. We paint the one that burnt down aud the now one too. What ls better, we paint tho houses that don't bum down. You insure the houses that burn; we i usuro tho houses that don't. You have the,ashes and smoke; all the houses are ours. We paint Load and Zino; Devoe. We sell the paint to painters ; we don't paint. Lead and oil is the old-fashion paiut. Dovoo is sino ground in with the lead and Itasoed oil; the best paint in the world, and tho cheapest, because it takes fowor gallons than mixed paints and lt wears twice a* long as lead and oil. No boby wants poor paint; there's lots of lt, though, in tho world. A. M. Griffon, Plainfield, N. J., writes: "Mr. Aa: on Higgins, of Plainfield, al ways used 15 gallons of mixed paint for his house. Last spring he bought 15 gal lons of Dovoo and had 4 gallons left." Yours truly, F. W. Devoe ?fe Co., New York. Death ol a Good Woman. Montvale, N. C., February 14.-Mrs. C. GrimBhawe, wife of Dr. C. Grimshawe, died at Montvale on January 81st, 1003. Sho had been ill about five months. Her remains were laid to rest on February 2d in the Travelers' Beet cemetery. It was an Impressive scene, and many ex pressions of sympathy were extended the bereaved family and friends. The large gathering at the burial was ample testimony to the fact that she was well known and greatly loved. Her kindness extended to all ages and classes of peo ple. Many times have the servants of Christ shared her hospitality, for she always delighted in ministering to their comfort. Having her own heart pure and filled with good will toward others, she ever sought to promote peace and happiness among all, and so to her was allotted tho blessedness of being oalled a ohild of God, and now the blessedness of eeeing Him face to face. Sho will be groatly missed by her rela tivos and all who knew her, but our loss is her eternal gain. In the midst of our bereavement lot UB find comfort in medi tating upon the fact that Bhe whom we i 1<>V?MI is now happy with Christ, and let us givo praise to 11 im who guided her with 1 Mis cou nacl and afterwards raised her to j glory. Truly a good woman and a devout Christian has beon called to her reward. Her lifo was not in vain, and she has left a precious heritage to-those who knew and loved her. Blessed are the dead who dio in tho Lord. L. M. Lyda. --- The Value of Expert Treatment?
