Death has entered another happy borne in our County and stricken down a devot? ed wife and an affectionate mother. We allude to the death of Mrs. Amanda Dean, wife of Mr. Robert B.

J. R- Earle con? ducting the funeral services in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. Mrs- Dean was a daughter of the late Reaben Burriss, of this County, and was a most noble, CbriBtian woman, who was most highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who will long cherish her memory. She bad been in feeble health for about two years, and it finally terminated in Brigbt's disease. She re? ceived the attention of all her friends and neighbors as well as of the best medical skill, but nothing could stay the dreadful disease. She bore ber sufferings with Christian patience, and beseeched her loved ones not to mourn for ber, for sbe bad made her peace with Him who doetb all things for tbe best, and was willing and anxious to enter that eternal home where tbere would be no more suffering and sor? row. In ber girlhood days she joined the Baptist Church, and throughout her life was a most zealous and faithful member. A devoted husband, five sons and three daughters survive her, and in their sore bereavement they have many sympa? thizers. I Died, at her home in the npper edge of Abbeville County, S C, December 28,1S04, Mrs Mollie A Kay, daughter of J. P. and Rosa P. Cromer, aged about 35 years. She was born in Abbeville County, and brought up to womanhood near Lowndes ville. When about grown she spent some time with her unole, Capt. J. T. Barnes In this city, where she made a number of warm friends who will read the announce? ment of her death with sorrow. A few years ago she was united in marriage to Charles G. Kay, of this County, and soon after moved into Abbeville County. Dur iog the past year or two she has been a suf? ferer from cancer, of which disease she died. Her remains were laid to rest in Shiloh cemetery, on Saturday, December 29. She leaves a kind husband and five little children to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and mother. Mrs. Mamie A. Strickland, wife of Dr. A. C. Strickland, oneof Anderson's most popular dentists, died at her home in this city last Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. The announcement of her death was not unexpected, for it was generally known several days preceding that she was in a critical condition, but when the informa? tion went out that the Angel of Death had called and summoned her to her eternal home, it was reoeived with a general feeling of Badness, and many words of profound sympathy were ex? pressed for the bereaved husband and four little children, the youngest an in? fant only two weeks old. Mrs. Strickland was a sister of our townsman, Mr. Robert A. Mayfield, Superintendent of the Anderson Steam Laundry, whose father was killed in the war. She was in the 34th year of her age, and was married to Dr. Strickland about fifteen years ago. In her childhood she joined the Presby? terian Church and throughout her life was a most exemplary member. Mrs. Strickland possessed many noble virtues of both heart and mind, and by her gen? tle, kind, lovely disposition she made a friend of every acquaintance. The sick, the needy and the distressed always found a true friend in her, for she was ever ready to comfort and minister to ? them. In short, as a wife, a mother and a neighbor she discharged her duties most faithfully. Two days preceding her death she realized her condition, and in a conversation with her loved ones said she had no fear of death, and was ready to go to her Saviour. This testimony should be a great consolation to the heart? broken husband and other loved ones left to cherish her memory. On Tuesday morning the funeral services were con? ducted by Rev. Dr. Frierson in the Presbyterian Churoh, after which the remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery. At Hymen's Altar. Married, on Wednesday, December 5, 1S94, by Rev. R. C.

But while tbe bleak winds were blowing their chilly blasts and the rain descending in almost sheets of water, within tbe walls of the bride's home there wrs a scene of joy in tbe midst of summer-like splendor.

Card of Thanks to the Children. I Thanks, many thanks, dear children, for your kind remembrance of me on Christmas eve in sending many accepta? ble and valuable things. Mr. Eugene Fant brought them round in a wagon, giving us an agreeable surprise. You kept the secret among you well. There were cans and packages and bun? dles and boxes and bags, with the name of the giver on every one. I read tbe name of every giver, and send thanks now to every one. There was sugar and coffee and tea and pepper and apples and oranges and nuts and candy and dates and oyaters and sar? dines and salmon and peaches and pears and tomatoes and corn and dried fruit and eggs and soap and blacking and matches and pine kindling. Certain lit? tle bands tied a bundle of matches and kindling together. I immediately took charge of it. And then tbere was rice and soda and flour. You were very kind, not only in making a donation to your old Pastor, but in keeping the Beeret of it so as to add the pleasure of surprise. You remember, dear children, there is One who said, "lie that givetb a cup of cold water in tbe name of a disciple shall not lose his reward." Well, after you bare lived here seventy years you will forget these gifts and He will surprise you by bringing it to your memory aud rewarding you. May He train you every one in benevolence and usefulness for long years to come. Many thanks to those kind people who sent other things besides the children. Your old friend, D. E. Fhierson.

He has bought the residence vacated recently by Dr. W. E. Campbell, now of Atlanta. His field is very inviting. We wish him much suc? cess. So we say with reference to tbe ether popular physicians of Balton. At the same time, we would rejoice if none of them could get a cal'. This is wishing everybody to stay well. We came near having a fire loss Thurs? day night. Mr. Poore's store caught fire, but was promptly extinguished. Mr. A. M. Shark, R. A. Lewis' book? keeper, was called to North Carolina on account of the death of his father. We tender him our sincere condolence. While Rev. H. T. Smith was away from home some time ago, a thief stole a trunk of bed clothes, etc, from bis bouse, leaving the trunk just outside the yard.

Rice, one of our best business men, say that a geutleman came to town not long since with two bales of cotton expecting to pay a debt of thirty dollars, and that his two bales of cotton only brought about sixteen dollars. Belton is a capital cotton market. Some time ago your Townville corres? pondent said he did not think that a man who would not piy tbe preacher and tbe Bruce boys could not get to heaven. If that be the oase, what must be the fate of a man who will not pay tbe man who trains his boys and girls for him? Is there any hope for him?

C, one of the largest and hand? somest Store-rooms in the State, and while we hate to leave Anderson yet it is to our interest to make the move. We will move all stock on hand March 1,1895, but would rather not have much stock, as cost of cartage, casing and freight will amount to a good sum, so you see there is something in store for you if you have the Cash. Needn't come and expect to buy without the Cash, but if you will bring it you can get goods al most at your price. You have sense enough to know it will pay us to swap dollars, rather than move goods, at some price. Now, after Saturday, Decem? ber 1st, no goods will be charged to any one, as we can't charge goods when sold at Cost, and especially when we are to leave town so soon. It is not necessary to enu? merate prices, but we will guarantee you will buy if you only look. Don't let eve? rybody pick over the cream of the stock, but come and be the first to give us your money. Thanking one and all for liberal patron? age in the past, and hoping to see you be? fore Christmas, and before we give you the Fifty Dollars in Gold, We are very truly yours, G033ETT & BROWN, The Shoe People.
