Word has just reached America that the Emperor of Japan in nu imperial decree has bestowed an aofuial fund upon the Salva tion Army in that country.

In his imperial decree, the Emperor declared th^t he has watched the work of the Salva tion Army within tfhe confines of Japan for many years and that it was after a thorough in vestigation that it was decided to make this imperial fund so as to allow a scope.to the Salva tion Army in the far ea9fc, broadened with time, and to enlarge its activities in Japan. At first the Japanese people were almost awe stricken by the coming of the Salvation J^Army workers into the land of the chrysnthemum. It was by hard work and diligent efforts on the part of the S. A. workers sent into the interior that they received the confidence of the people aud were allowed to pro ceed with- their work 1 ttaham- pared. r In addition to their work of uplift and taking care of the ill and needy, the Salvation Army nas implanted inr Japan a religious, seed, which*, in the last few years, has asserted itself in the advancement of Christianity. * The Japanese as a whole were at best very unfriendlyjo newcomers in their own country but now the giving of a larg* sum of moiifj to the.Salvation Army i« akno ute pruof-4}f their vmtth in - Japan. as a blessed relief; and his soul, eufreod from the suffering body, returned to its.

Mr*. Martha Still. Mrs. Martha Still died at her home near Reedy Branch on Thursday, April 17^1», at about eighty six years of age. She was a devoted wife and mother and a faithful member of the Reedy Branch Baptist church. She^was laid to rest in the Reedy Branch cemetery on Fri day afternoon iu the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing re la* lives and frieuds. tier funeral was conducted by her pastor, the Rev. D. W k Heckle. Mrs. Still is survived by her husband, Mr. J. S. Still, and one daughter. Mrs. Henrietta Grubbs, of Blackvitte, sixteen grand Children and eight great grand children.

Born November 6, 1848, Mrs. Bolen in early girlhood gave her life to the services of the Bap tist church. Gentleness of spirit, kiudue**s of heart and Christian goodness were the virtues which endeared her to every acquaint ance, made her valuable to her neighbors and bound her chil dren nud family to her with love bonds that wil| bind throughout eternity. Those of the immediate fami ly who survive Mrs. Bolen are Mrs. Viola Bales; Mrs. Anto nette Bates; .Mr*. Alpliis Boyl- ton ; Mrs. Ulalia Kitchens ; Mrs. Douia Johnson; fcr. N., Sad E. G. Bolen. The frail bodv of the * mother, friend and neighbor, was borne to the old burying ground at Calvary Baptist church, where a great congrega tiou was assembled to do honors and shed tears at the burial of this good woman. -From far aud near the people had come, bearing in their hands flowers for honor and in their hearts a great grief for the love of the one who had gone. The passing of the spirit of so good a Christian as Mrs. Bolen was in a way, a glorious occa siou. Too tru6 it is that death wrings from our hearts sobs that seem to tear at our very vitals ; too true it is tliat the sting of death ie cold and cruel; too truo it is that our earthly lives suffer a great loss wlieu a dear one misses out of the portals of earth into the wide gates of God’s hou&e. The glory of death is the victoty over pain aud sorrow and sio. Dear,good Mrs. Bolen has won the great fight. Her sufferings are all over. Her sweet spirit is loosed from this narrow cell of mortality and her great soul will live forever in the realms of im mortal itv where her Savior is. mm We will forget the sorrow and suffer lug liua our mother and friend weut through with on earth, and we shall think of her as she (Mights in the wonderful TO THE PEOPLE OF MINWEll AND COMMONITT. No doubt it will be of inter est to you to know those who signed the contract that brings back into our city on Thursday,- Friday and Saturday, May tne 8th, 9th and 10th, the Radc’dffe Chautauqua, which will be held in the Circle under a large tent, each afternoon at 5 o’clock, and at night at 9 o’clock; and the committee is assured that the talent that comes this;time is betrerthan ever. We hope the peopleof Barnwell and surround ing community who appreciates good, wholesome, clean, educa tional and religious show's, will attend all the meetings; in fact each person should buy a ticket, as the price only means tweuty- five cents for each performance and children half price. Below will be found the names and ad dresses of those who guaranteed to the management of the Chau tauqua the four hundred and twenty-five dollars for the three days or six performances that they will give here ; and if there are any receipts above the actual guarantee and expenses, the com mittee gives the amount to the Barnwell graded school to assist them in paying for the adoption of French orphan children. So you readily #ee there is not to be any profit for those who guaran tee the money except what each gets out of ih? eotettnisineiit while in our midst. Each guar-* atiior will j*y for his or her ticket a$ others do, and they feel that the people of Barnwell at! community are to he congratu- ated on having such shows or chautauquas come into their midst, aud the people ought to. support it, and believe they will.
