Palmer was killed outright Blayton, one of the spies, was danger? ously wounded. , Blay ton says that Palmer shot first and then he shot, the ball taking effect just back of the left ear. Tho negro's gun was captured. As soon as the spies entered the room llhij negro ran, Blay ton ruuningafler him and yelling for some one to shoot. A ?bot wIb med by one of the spies, the whole load taking effect ..in Blay ton's back and lodged in pis bowels. Blay ton admits to the Killing of Palmer. Spabtanbtj^g, s. C, Dec. 29.?The coroner's inry remained in session last night until about 11 o'clock, when they rendered a verdict that Henry Palmer came to his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by- Constable Bleyton whilu resisting arrest There was a division of I opinion among tho jurymen and it was difficult for them to reach a verdict. The facts of the case are about as fol? lows: Henry Palmer had been selling whiskey. Constable Pearson induced a man to go and pnrohase a, package from him. On that knowledge.he had two warrants taken out, one to arrest Henry Palmer and his sister and the other to . search the house: Instead Of making che arrest in the day time three constables, Pearson, Jackson and Blay ton, accom? panied by two or three other persons, one t)l? whonv said he was also a constable, went to make the arrest about 8 o'clock ;il; night Palmer was in the house. Two women aod a small boy were aloo there. ? loaded shotgun was on the bed. The lirresl was made. Palmer made an utteatpt to escape. A scuffle ensued. The. constables swear that one of the ?vomen tried to use the shotgun, but Jackson captured it One witness swore IhatBlaytorior one of the constables said ''Shoot him." Soon after that a gun was Ii red from the outside or a tout the door while Palmer and Blay ton were souf HiDg. Some of the constables say that 'the first firing was done in the house. The testimony conflicts. None of them aaw any gun in the house except Pal? mer's, which was loaded when captured. One man outside had a gun. The 1m 1session prevails that he aimed to shoot 'aimer when he was attempting to rush from the door and by mistake shot Blay toxi. That is the only plausible theory. Then Blay ton says he fired twice as Pai? rs 3r was getting away. The second shot that brought him down was Bom o distance from the house. These are the ff.cts oi the ease. Four constables, with one or two others, went there fully armed to arrest a man who tiaiinoarms. There was no evidence to show that ho was using any violence ?xuept the force necessary to get away tmm the armed fore*/. He was using the privilege that accused persons have, that Is, he was running- out of the way of of?cere. 'Governor. Tflltban telegraphed yester clav to see that Blayton had medical * it-ton lion and legal defence. The negroes of the city were quiet Isst iiig;ht They are very Indignant, how iivox. They believe that they have no dbKW of protection under tbe present A j ministration. They think the Gover? nor permits lynching after lynching to pjis unnoticed, but if a constable cannot ?cch an accused man that the Governor riv eS authority to shoot They seem to 5e In a helpless condition./ That is their Hew of the case.

Marvin, in .'ihis city Wednesday nl&bt, W8S not a complete surprise, as lha event had been looked forward to for no me time by knowing ones. About < sigh teen . months ago Mrs. Marvin be "(same the heroine of a story that was leiegraphed, over ; iba< country and broaght her name' into considerable notoriety." Her husband. Dr. George W. ?tfarrin, was mayor of Cordele and presi? dent cr the First National bank." He owned considerable real estate here and in Atlanta, and was reported to be worth jtl5CL000aHeast;-Y Tbe devotion of the couple to each cither was well known, and when ho died ilo one^was surprised that Mrs. Marvin was prostrated with grief. The hearse Thich bore Dr. Marvin's body to the iirave was followed' by a long line of vehicles, filled with people who bad. ?known and admired him in life. The Jiusiness honses were closed and the city sorrow5d genuinely over the death of its mayor. For. some time Mrs. Marvin infused to be consoled and she was ?ilmosf; mad with grief. Her devotion to 'the doctor suggested tbe idea of haying his body permanently , embalmed and a magnificent marble tomb erected' to bis inemery. An embalm er came from New Orleans, and the body was taken from ti e ground at night and borne back to b:.rs. Marvin's home. There it was pissed through a process that is said to 1) j sufficient to preserve it for an unli mi ted ler.gth of time. Since that time tbe body has remained securely locked in a rcom in the same bouse where Mrs. MSrvin Uvea. Mr. Bivins, tbe gentleman whom Mrs. Marvin married this week, is cashier of the First National bsnk, et he was at the time of Dr. Marvin's cloath. He has been practically the Manager of Mrs. Marvin's large, estate. 'He has been her adviser in many impor? tant transactions and, naturally, their relations became close and confidential. For some time Mr. Bivtas had paid her narked attention and a mutual attach? ment grew up between tbe two. The ceremony was perform ed in the parlor cf tbe Marvin cottage and was witnessed by only a few friends. The coupler left Woun&sday night for various points in Florida and south Georgia to enjoy the honeymoon. The question which people are now asking each other is, will the newly married couple live in tbe house where the body of Mrs. Marvin's first husband rests or will it be placed in a vnolt matt&xnta Constitution.

The records of these mills show that the South is the most inviting field for cotton manufacturing, and tbe indications are that in the near future new factories will be started in this s ection. Ia 18S0, tbe South consumed 200,000 bales of cotton. In' 1893, the Southern mills consumed 600,000 bales. - There could be no stronger evidence of the Soufth's superiority over th? North in its advantages for cotton manufacturing than that during the past year. Northern mills have beon shut down, while the mills of the South have been running on full time and have paid good dividends. ? The President has nominated Gen. Joseph B.

TJnJble always to get a drink when it wanted it, the cat would climb up the edge of the drip pan under the beer kegs and quench its thirst. At first it was evident that beer was not altogeth? er to the cat's liking, but the taste grad? ually acquired, until now it will drink it in preference to milk or water and in Buch a quantity as to make it stupidly drunk. The cat is thin, gaunt and blear eyed and looks as though It wns border? ing on starvation, eats but little and is seldom sober. Carolina'? Shame. _ JFrom Augusta Chronicle. When the Reform party of South Caro? lina, turned. Wade Hampton out of the United States Senate for a man unknown outside of his own State, it was a shock to the Democratic party of the Union, and in the sight of patriotio men of all parties a reproach on the State of South Carolina. Wade. Hamptou's name was synonymous with patriotio devotion and untiring service for South Carolina, and the people of the country deemed it im SDSslble forany political divisions in the Late to reach bi m. However thoy might divide on local issues or political plat? forms, it seemed to the outsider' that to be a Carolinian was to be for Wade Hampton. In spite of this the great leader of his people was doomed to sacri? fice, but when it came, it was received as a reproach on the State rather than ou Hampton. But vindictive and narrow as was this treatment of Hampton, It has been eclipsod in the treatment of Charleston by the &ame party. To a man living out of Carolina, it seems inconceivable that any Carolinian should entertain any feel? ing but pride, love and loyalty for the historic old city of Charleston. Riven by earthquake, swept by floods, wreaked by hurricane, decimated by disease, and assailed by war, her brave and indomita? ble people have risen superior to disaster by land and sea, and each time the redeemed city has advanced above its previous condition. Each time her noble people have rallied in their strength and heroically builded better upon the old foundations. It is not strange that the old city is dearer than ever to those who have suffered with her and worked for her, and it is passing strange that any man who calls himself a Carolinian should not feel a deep State pride in her record of heroio endeavor and repeated triumph ovei disasters frequent and severe enough to discourage any people less brave. And yet in the face of her glorious past and sturdy present, the lower House of the Legislature of South Carolina lias deliberately humiliated this proud old oity by so gerrymandering the State as to place her in the "Black Belt" of South Carolina, and subject her?the chief seaport and principal city in the State, to probable representation in Congress by a negro Republican, It seems difficult to conceive of political revenge so bitter, of State schism so pitiable. We have the authority of Holy Writ for the statement, "If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand," and we trust that the State of. South Carolina shall not be divided beyond remedy. If it were a Republican Legislature trying to rebuke the sturdy old City by the Sea for its fidelity to Democratic faith we might understand this action, but for a Demo? cratic Legislature thus to bring reproach upon its own Government and humiliate its chief city ia beyond comprehension. We know not how the stigma will be averted, but we believe that every neces? sity raises up some heroio spirit to meet it, and we cannot believo that Charleston will suffer this political indignity and this undeserved humiliation. We com? mend to her at this juncture the brave words of Henry Grady at the Boston banquet: . "The negro vote can never control in the South. 1 have seen the white people of a State set about by black hosts until their fate seemed sealed. But, sir, some brave man, banding them together, would rise, like Ellsba rose in beleaguered Samaria and touching their eyes with faith, bid them look abroad to see the very air 'filled with the chariots of Israel l and the horsemen thereof.' If there is any human force that cannot be with? stood, It is the power of the banded intel? ligence and responsibility of a free com? munity. Against It, numbers and corruption cannot prevail. It cannot be I forbidden in the law or divorced In force. It is the Inalienable right of every free community?and the just and righteous safeguard against an ignorant or corrupt suffrage,, It is on this, sir, that we rely intheSontb. Not the cowardly menace of mask or shotgun; but the peaceful maj esty of intelligence and responsibility, massed and unified for the protection of its homes and the preservation of its ?liberty. That, sir, is our reliance and our hope, and against it all the powers of the earth shall not prevail." The Reform party may well exclaim to j those leaders who are seeking to betray it into this great political mistake. "Deliver me from my friends." -T**? Visitors no. Longer Welcome, Under an act passed by the recent session of the Legislature it is now un? lawful to sell, or expose for sale any par? tridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant, deer or wild turkey, within.the State of South Carolina, Any person so doing shall be deemed guilty of a misdemean? or, and upon conviotion thereof, shall be fined not more than ten dollars, or be imprisoned for not more than ten days for each offence. It is also unlawful to export out of the limits of the State ol South Carolina any partridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant,doer or wild turkey Any person doing so shall be deemed guilty of a misderneauor, and upon con? viction thereof, shall be fined not more than ten dollars, or be imprisoned for not more than ten days for each offence. But the most obnoxious feature of this act is a provision that all persons not citizens of the State and visiting in the State for the purpose of shooting game of any kind, shall pay a license of ?25 to tne county treasurer of the county where the visitor may be, the money to be de? voted to the public schools. Any person not obtaining said license before hunting ' or shooting, shall be doomed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than fif? ty dollars, and be imprisoned not more than thirty days for each offence. How? ever, it is provided that the act shall not apply to any person hunting or killing game on his own land. Story of a Bale of Cotton. Union, Dec. 24.?There has been much said about people not haying their Christmas egg-nog, but if one bf the be? lievers of such an utterance will come to Union, or take a trip through this coun? ty, he will see the utter fallacy of such a statement, for if men ever drank liquor they have gulped it down this fall. As one of the dictator's office holders, said, "I have seen more drunkenness in Union in the past three weeks than I have seep here in three years put together." The ways of the Till mani to apy may be many for detecting contraband liquor, but the ways of the contraband liquor seller sur? passes and outwits the thoughts of any one. Not long since, in the upper por? tion of this county, a gentleman came to sell a "bale of cotton," having his price fixed above the market price, He drove all around Gaffney, left, cursing out the cotton buyers and the State in toto, say? ing a poor farmer and Allianceman could not get a living price for his cotton. It turned out that this "dear brother" had a barrel of liquor in the cotton with a tube extending out a short piece. He ?old out all of his liquor in Spartrnburg and Union counties, audibly "cussing" * the.State but iuwardly saying "an ill Nwind blows that blows 'nobody any ?ood." Fighting ftr Work.

La Grippe. During the prevalence of the Grippe the past seasons it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr. King's New Discovery not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all of the troublesome after effects of the malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid cures not only in cases of La Grippe, but in all Diseases of Throat, Chest and Lungs, and has cured cases of Asthma and Hay Fever of long standing.

Greenville News. Clemson College. S. C., Jan. 1.?On account of tho very largo number ofap {?licants for admission into Cletuson col ege at the next session, many morr than the college can possibly receive, * great many persona interested, both paronts and students, are constantly making in? quiries as to what methods will be adopt ed< to determine which ones will be ad? mitted. The board of trustees have adopted several rules regulating tho gov? erning the admission of etudi n s. All young men will bo required to stand examinations as at other colleges. They will also bo required to stand phys? ical examinations, and such as havo con? tagious diaens^s and who are physically unable to fulfill the duties requirud of them will not be admitted. Applicants who arc qualified to enter the college proper will have precedence over those applying for admission into the preparatory department. According to the best information obtainable about three hundred of tbe old students will return. They, of course being already in tbe college*, will not be disturbed. Tbe board has. not yet decided how many students will be admitted at the next term, . but there will be room for two or three hundred new ones in addi? tion to those already there. It 1b their purpose to distribute admission into the college among the several counties in proportion >to their representation lu the lower branch of tbe legislature. Therefore any county which has its quoto in the students already in the college will not be entitled to any additional students until the applicants of those counties which have not their quota has been fully supplied. Then again it would bo impossible to accommodate tbe applicants even for one night at the college when they have gone there to be examined. The board has therefore decided to havo ex? aminations co'ndtfctod in the counties of tho State which will be presided over by one of the pn lessors of Clomson as? sisted by coinpemt residents of each place and the su ccssful applicants will bo furnished w ch evidence entitling them to ad mis si 1ti. These examina ions will begin about the middle of January and ample no? tice of the time nd place will be given so thut all interested may attend them. bother pay students or not, will be required to stand these ex? aminations. The next seaaijn will begin Thursday, February 15th. A Sample of Reform. The Reformers ing about tbe re] they havo takorj reform affecting tion. The salarjl was passed will reform hurrah, stated that it sboj dlately, and the pave done a lot of talk uction of aalarios but care to prevent this |ie presonl; administra _ reduction bill, cutting down nearly Blithe salaries of officers and others in th) employ of tbe State, a retrenchment of Tbe bill, as passed, Id go into effect im me fcontiding,believed that when'tiie act beanie a law there would be an immediate {eduction in salaries all along the line. But the reformrs, who engineered this scheme, bad a breather eye open for 'Number One,'] and worked a little scheme, which pay be most politely termed "sliok." The simple faith is that this act, although passec to take effect imme? diately, will not fleet the salaries of any one until tho e plration of the present fiscal year, the mo when tbe present administration g es out of power. Until that time, it 1b at lead a letter as if it had never been pass 1. The reason for this is, that on tbe v y last night of the ses? sion, when the ippropriation bill was about to be rati ed, a final section was tacked on to it, 'hich has tho effect of nullifying tbe e lary reduction bill for ten months. Th men who would have 'been affected by be reduction, got their leaders together, ;nd after a deliberation carried the matu through with the prac? tical result state above. An examina? tion of tbe orig ial act made yesterday resulted in tbe Unding of tbe section referred to, whio ireads as follows: . Section 13. Tl it in tbe event that salaries or other bmpensatious for servi? ces now provh !d for by the law for officers, clerks and other persons for which appropriation is herein made, shall be fixed bygjaw at other rates than those herein prol'ded for, such rate shall not afreet such sAtrles or other compen? sations for the year 1894, but tbe amount herein appropriled shall be paid to them." Now Governoi Tillman approved the salary reductiou bill on December 22, and tbe next day uprovod tbe appropria? tion bill, to whic the above quoted ?eo tion is attache^, iaking tbe appropria? tion bill parainr hfc to the former and nullifying, until j <e end of the year 1894, the salary reducti q bill. Thus, it is seeii that all the salaries of the officers of t tion will remain Columbia State. Tillman administra e same as last year.? Why hliwas Single.

A South Dakota cowboy who plead? ed guilty to haviug two months ngo held up a mail mi rier from whimi ho look a single copper cent was sentenced in the Federal Court, at Omaha to imprison? ment for lile?that being tho penalty in? flexibly attached by tiie statute which provides punishment for this grade of crime. ? The women of a church in Newburg, N. Y., are each pledged to earn one dollar or more in some extraordinary fashion the proceeds being required to buy a now carpet for tho church. One woman charges hor husband ten cents for putting on his collar arid" necktie and another bakes bread and goes around selling it. ? An interesting case for tho studentB of the ways of a woman's heart to ponder is that of an Oakland, Cat., woman, who, a few months ago, brought suit for di? vorce, shot her husband in her jealous rage while the case was pending, nursed him through the illness tnat ensued, fell in love with him all over again, and she is now living with him happy as a dove. ? The Rev. Dr. W. W. Parker, of Richmond, Va., has prepared a bill, which will be presented in the next Virginia Legislature, for tho suppression of drunkenness. He proposes to make drunkenness a misdemeanor, the mini? mum puuishraent of which shall be thir? ty days in jail. Tho bill, it is said, will meet with considerable support from all classes. ? The New York Evening Telegram. reports that "there is at Columbia, S. C, a nearly completed cotton mill which is to have its power brought from the canal by means of electricity, instead of the old-fashioned belt method. The equip? ment of machinery is the best that has yet been turned out. The product of the mill will be cotton duck." ? The horsemanship of tho women to be seen in tho riding schools of this city, says the New York 8un, causes doritdve smiles among the Southern and West? ern women who see it. There are a lew i. usances of fearleas riding by young wo uiei' who have learned to scamper across the fields in the country, and who have a good seat and a firm eye, but the ma? jority of women riders are painful to look at. . ? Tho Rov. Dr. John F. Hlllyer, who died last week in Bel ton, Texas, was per? haps one of the oldest Baptist preachers in the United States. He had been preaching for over sixty-three years. He was born in Warren County, Ga., in 1805, went to Texas in 1817, and was pas? tor of a Baptist churoh in Galveston for many years. From 1860 to 1865 he was professor of mathematics and natural his? tory in Baylor University, Independen oe, Texas. ? The Methodist American University has received a donation of ?100,000 to help aloug the work from some gentlem an whose name is withheld. The announce? ment of the gift was made on Wednes? day by Eishop J. F. Hurst at a meeting of the trustees in Washington, D. C. The university is already in possession of a site in Washington worth about ?600,000, and this latest gift raises the total already announcod for build Inga and endowment to about $400,000. Tho Bish? ops of the Methodist Episcopal Churoh and the General Conference have endors? ed the enterprise provided that ?5,000, 000 shall be invested in buildings and endowments before the university is open to students and at least ?10,000,000 as its full equipments. ? Felix Drew, a sharp Mexican half breed, has succeeded in buncoing the ne? groes of Birmingham, Ala., out of large sums of money. He rigged him seit np in feathers and paint and told the negroes that he was a great chief of the Ind4an Teri'itory and bad been deputed to invite them to settle among the Indians, who were dying out, and to make common cause aguinst their common enemy, the grasping, overbearing while man. Every negro who brought him ten dollars to pay his fare to the territory should have one hundred acres of land and a house, and the land was lull of gold, which could be had for the digging. The ne? groes raked up all the money they could and gave it to him. He told them that a special train would start on a given day, but when they went to take it neither train nor chief .appeared, and now the police are looking for -this modern Moses. ? The startling mistake of a funoral sermon preached over the wrong person occurred in this city recently. The good, kind and well-intentioned reverend doctor made the distressing error of speaking the last words over the wife and mother of the family, instead of the huaband and father, whose corpse lay in the casket a few feet from him, while the agonized widow to whose virtuos be was directing the discourse was compelled to sit in terrible sus? pense and listen to her own funeral sermon. What must have intensified her distress and added to the grim com? plication of the situation is the fact that the lady is a member of the eminent di? vine's church. The preacher painted the desolation of home without a mother and extolled the lady's virtues in a manner that, under less painful circum? stances must have been some satisfac? tion. A well-known friend of the fam? ily finally summoned up enough cou? rage to arise and explain in broken and Indistinct accents that the minister should confine his remarks to Mr. and not Mrs. Blank. The ministor, who was in the midst of his discourse, mis? understood the interpolation, and, there? fore, continued all the more intensely bis panegyric. It was now no use try? ing to stop him, but after the peroration ho looked into the coffin and fell back. He had discovered his mistake.? Lot Angeles Express. lie Stepped on the Trap. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29.?A spe? cial from Greenville says: For some time a burglar has been robbing the storehouses of Georgians, and all efforts to capture him failed. Recently Mr. J. T. Yinson set a loaded gun In his store, arranged in such a manner that any one entering the back door would step upon a trap whiob would firo the gun. Last night a negro man pried open the back door and entered the store, step? ping upon the trap. The gun fired both barrels and two loads of ,buckshot en? tered the burglar's body, killing him in? stantly. The negro's name was Herbert, and be lived about a mile from the town. Burglars will give Mr. Vins'on's store a wide berth in the future.

Editors Intklmoenckk : We did not intend to give you the news this wook, but ax wo am going to runaway and spend awhile in Georgia, wo concluded to write sotuerbiug, as wo will not be back in some tima. We have traveled over a large portion of the County and it does not look like "hard limes." We have soen more handsome new dwellings that have just been erected than ever before. If one did not hear the cry of "hard times" at every turn he could not tell but what this County was in a prosperous condi? tion, and we beliove it Is by tho way her farmers are building barns and storage houses. They are sowing more small grain than usual. We believo they are sowing half of tbeir land down. 'This speaks for better times and more pro? visions. When our farmers all catch tho grain fever like they have now you can rest assured that the millennium is not Jar off. There is but one party that is going to help them out of their dilemma and that party is hard sense, elbow grease, economy and good management. The Alliance that suits me best of all is sunshine, rain and toil. It is tho little big-headed man that sits around on a stump 'till ho wears out his trousers that sets up, Btretchos himself and opens bis mouth so wide (that you can see tbe price of cotton in Liverpool) and hollers with all his might "the government is oppressing us," when, in fact, he was never recognized 'till tbis Alliance-Till man-Ponulist-concern sprang into exist? ence. They are still hollering for free sil vor. If the free coinage bill had passed they would still be in tho same fix. It the country was flooded with money how could they get any of it, for they say they haven't got anything to sell, and I know the men who have tbe money aro not going to part with it unless they get full value for it. It does not mane any dif? ference how much money there Is iu cir? culation, we can't get it unless wo have something to get it with. We might possibly steal it, but there is tho pene tentiary staring us in tho face. So you see we could not get any tbut way. The best thing for us to do is to stop so much of this nonsense, and go to improving our farms. If all these dead-headti would uo to work and stop loafing all over tho County and mako something for them? selves they would bo better off. They are tbe ones who are stirring up so much strife. They think they know more than anybody else and are tit (abovo) every? body else to hold an office. Watch tne oracle and see if the next President is not a Republican, when tho leading Demo? cratic papers aro harping on redeem the pledges and aro keeping the minds of the people excited. We are gone sure enough. It is Republican boodle that keeps the Third Party machine going. They know if the solid South is once broken they can put the negro over'uh, and our people have not enough sense to see it. Just think how wonld you like to see your mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts dragged up before a black demon by some black filthy wench with the charge: "This white woman insulted me and I want her punished for it." We pray that our glorious South, sacred to u g and consecrated by the blood of her dead martyrs, may never have such a calamity befall hor. We need right now such men as Perry, Hampton and Cal houn to steer us through tbis turbulent time. What is all this fuss raised about? The greed for offioe is at tbe bottom of it all?the little men trying to got on top. Wheu we think what a state the country is in my heart bleeds at the thought of the consequencos. We breathe- that prayer our Saviour uttered on tbe cioes: "Forgive them Father, lor they know cot what they do." Sam Dewberrt. Obituary. Mn. Jane Shirley, wife of Obedlah Shirley, de? ceased, died at her home at llunea Path, S. C, Nov 12, 1893, at tho ripe age of 78 years. Of the ten children that God g*ve her, four had preceded her to tho land beyond, and eix remain to mourn, looking forward to tho time when they shall be re-united with bor. Since Nov. 8, 1839, when she became a member of Barket's Creek Baptist Church, sLe has lived a faithful servant of God. It was said of her by those who best knew her, that her whole life was beautiful in its consisten? cy with her Christian profession. Tho Christ-like patience and fortitude with which she bore years of affliction, testily tc her living faith in Him who rules all things; and her cheerfulness spoke hope beyond, where youth is renewed and afflic? tions cease. For fifteen years before her death the had beon confined to her bed, never walking, and seldom being carried from her room; but through it all aho was sever known to complain. Sufiering patiently and cheerfully, as only a Christian cm, she awaited the call of the heaven? ly messenger; and when it came, without any perceptible change, and without a strug le, she quietly passed away. Her remains weie laid in the cemetery at uonea Path, where her member? ship was at her death, and a lorj-e number of friends gathered to witness the laying away from earth one who bad so long lived among them, and whose life bad been as & written epistle. "I would not live alway, No, welcome the tou b, S'nco Jesus has laid there, I dread not iu gloom." . _ M. K. W. Obituary. Again we are called upon to chronicle the sad news of death. A slater beloved, whoso lifo was full of Kood deeds, has answered to the unrelent? ing call of Him who gathers the sheaves that are ripe for the garner. Mrs. Amelia Cox, daughter ot Elijah and Mary Wyatt, and wife of Abner Cox, deceased, was born In Anderson County Au Siat 1G, 1808. September 26, 1839, she joined the aptlat Cburch-at Broadmouth, and was baptized by Bev. W P.Martin. From here she transferred her membership, and at her death was a useful and loved member of the Baptist Church at Shady Grove. While old age prevented her at? tending chutcb, she was very liberal in aiding her pastor and promoting the welfare of the Church. Her three children survive her, and while they bear tho heart-breaks, they are assured that some day God will re-uuita with her those of her's who have their hope fixed as she had hcr*s?on Him who never fails those who trust in Him. For many years Bhe had mode her home with hur dsughtor, Mrs. Joel Pinson, where she was the trusted counsellor of children and grand-children, and where she died Nov. 18,1S93, with God'a bless? ing on her head, at the advanced age of 88 years. Here we have illustrated the words of the poet: Even down to old age all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love ; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Liko iambs thoy shall still in my bosom be borne.

EEGIS INDIAN BASKETS! Mr. Editor : The St. Regis tribe of Indians are located on a Reserva? tion of 14,000 acres in Western Kansas. The tribe numbers 2,100 souls, inclu? ding bucks, squaws and papoose. They still adhere to their own language, few of them being able to speak English. They, like the red men in general, never want to be civilized enough to do much hard work. * That is one of the accomplishments of the pale-face that they regard as unfit for warriors, aud should only be tolerated when per? formed by squaws. During the hunt? ing and fishing season the bucks are seldom found at home, as they had rather hunt a deer ten hours a day for a week than hoe a half acre of corn. This rambling life, spent on rip? pling streams, mirror lakes and virgin forests, studying the beautiful foliage, the exquisite colorings of the forest leaves, tbe lovely hues of the prairie flowers, and their natural blending and shading to produce brilliant and showy effects. These dreamy hours, spent in studying nature, has developed a very keen conception of the artistic blend? ing of colors, so as to produce most gorgeous results. For centuries past they have studied the making of bril? liant aud delicate colored dyes, until at last they have acquired such skill that they can dye strips of wood that cannot be distinguished from the finest colored ribbons. These strips of ash are then heated, so that the colors will be "fast," when they are wound in and out in the most beautiful styles of Bas? kets, and when finished they represent a picture of color-blending unequalled in a studio.

S.?Why is it that the poor fellow had such a hard time? Well, when we tell you, yon won't wonder. To begin with,, he carried a Shoddy stock of Shoes, with paper insoles, and sold them at a high price ; con? sequently, when the goods were put to the test they didn't stand.
