Mrs. 1,. K. Bogpa, the widow of Mr. 0. W. B. Boggs, died at the residence of her son-i-law, Mr. H. I. Horton, near Willintnaton, on Wednesday morn lug the 3d instant. The next day her romains were interred in the new bury ing ground at Liberty near the Presby torian-Church. The funeral was preached by Dr. Riley. She was fifty-seven years of age, and had been, for more than thirty years, a onsistent and devoted member of the Presbyenrian Ch'trch. She was left a widow in 18fi,, her husband, who be longed to the Brooks Troops in H1amp ton's Legion, being killed in the battle near Williamsburg, Virginia. She at once assumed the onerous task of man aging an extensive farm and educating her six children, the youngest of whom was but little over a year old. She bravely met, and suecessfully overcome the many difficulties incident to life at that time, aggravated as they were by the misfortunes of war. When we recall the days o; our youth and remember how she triumphed over all the troubles and misfortunes which heset her path, we are astonished at the great tact and executive ability which she displayed. It seemed to be her nature to ho a Christian. Love was the first order of her being, and she never once spoke harshly of iny one, nor did she over Speak unpleasa rtly to imy one. This is a bright jewel that will ever shine among the noblo qualities which adorned her character. Jt was lit that the light of suoa a life should go out in the early morn, thst it might, as the morning star melt away in the brightness of heaven. She had many warm friends among the young people in Pickons, and she re meniborel them on her dying bed. We saw her just a short time before her death, standing on tho brink of the eternal world, her face aglow with the light from the other shore, she said, "Tako may dear young friends in Pick ens a messag for me-toll thom Jesus is a precious sviour:'' "nh thou! with whom rmy heart was wont to share, From reawon's dlawn), each pleasure and each care; W~,ith whom, alasd I fondly hop'd to The humnble walk1 of happiness holo0w; If thy blest nature now unites abovo An angel's pity with a nothmer's love, Still o'er my life preserve thy mild con trol, Correct my views and elevate mly soul Grant ami thy pmoaco anid p)urity of aminda Devout yet cheerf ul, active yet resigned Grant me, like thee, whose heart knov, no( (disguiso, Whose b)lamoiess wishes never aiimned t( rise, To meet the chamngos tIme and chanec -presenmt With nmodeost dignity and calm content, W,henm thy last breath, ere nature sunk to resat TI.hy meek submission to thy God ex pre4sed: WVhen thy last lookc, e thought and feelings fled, A mningl.ed gleams of hope andl tiump1h shied; What to thy smil11 its glad assurance gave, Its hope in death, its triumph o'er the grave? The swveot remembrance of unblemished youth, The inspiring voice of Innoecence, and Truth'" Unnuecennanry. The following is from the Laurons ville Herald: It seems to us that it wvonha h'o bethI fair and eibtierebuke, oonoludoe by eaying r "T F wrur, stands now fii the po sition-of being unable or afraid tb proVe thp truth of- its serioils aoiTations anid ashamed to acknowl(dge that they wre false or give the source of its information. Our cotemporary has many friends here who are sorry to see it so. Buit it is not too late for the frank, manly and clear statemeiit of informatioji or retraction that the past has given us reason to expedt." In these latter days it is a very easy, and a very common thing for journalists to abuse each other, and impute to each other nalico .and falsehood. This the SENTINErL shall not do. We ce not advised of our ability, of of the 1iecessity, of proving the truth of what we have said; but it is fair to pro sune that those good citizens from whom we received the information have the mhanhood to verify or retract their state ments when the publid good demands it. Our contemporary is assured that we are not ' afraid." If this controversy should assume such proportions, as in our judgment, to justify arraying one citizen of Greenville against another to ascertain the truth, then will be the tine for our informers to shoulder the odium of the News, or to say that their state ments were without foundation in fact. What we published, we published as in formation, and we know our informors. We were informed by the News that it was untrne and unjust, and we also pub lishod that information, along with the reasons which our contemporary gave as a justification for the use of whiskey on such occasions. The dittorenco, after all, may be entirely in regard to the quantity of whiskey it is proper to use on sulchl occasions. We yield to no one in bestowing praise upon those firemen who refuse to drink. Where the temptation is so great, to him who refuses we would vote a civio crown. The Presldett's Message. The- President's Message on the sub jeCt of the Senato,s right to executive papers is a clear and fair statement of the issue, and he discussed it in a fear less and impartial spirit. The President, after justifying the proprioty of the message to the Senate, gives that body his reasons for not com plying with its dcrands for those papers so clearly and manfully, that the neco9 sity of another messago will hardly oc our during his aministration. Every position taken by the Senate in any way against him during its siege of him for many days is attacked and suecessfully refuted. Ho grants the Senate frankly and fair ly every thing claimed by it in the issue, as submitted in the majority report, but shows that ho has maused to ho sent ofi1 cial papers in every instant to that body, though not demanded in the numerous application.s to the heads of the depart 1men1t. lie accedos the right of the Senato to pass upon ap)poilnments madeo by him, bult denies the right to reviewv huis nots iln thle matter of suspensions, or to (10 mand any1) r(lasonls ot' private papers bearing upon01 the mat ter; and ably and suessfully fortifles his p)oiitions l'y the laws and Constitution. 11e says that he is responsible for his acts as Execuitive of this (Governlnent, antd is not to be0 discouraged or deterred from following in the way that leads tc the bettor government of the people.

He wanted to know if there was any better or cheaper method of secur ing credit He would like to see the homestead law repealed, as this was its off spring. Mr. B. J. Johnston said he did not see how the farmers could get along without the lien law as long as we have the homestead. He was in favor of having a convention and changing the Constitution. If the lien law was repealed it would forco many to hire, and he thought the law ought to be co extensive with the homestead. Mr. Hollingsworth said that his views had already been reported in the SENTINEL. That the lien law wias only one-t011h of the evils which we sutlerel un'ler tl present Con stitution.
