In this issue we publish an Ordinance to repeal the Ordinance adopted on tbe 31st day of December by the City Council, pro? viding for elections to be held on the 18th inst. on the graded school and bond issue question. We also publish an Ordinance providing for the same elections to be held on the 26th inat. Thia change was neces? sitated by the fact tbat the Governor didn't approve tbe Act authorizing these elections until the 5th inat., which was after the adoption of tbe first Ordinance, and this fact rendered the first Ordinance illegal. The two Ordinances are tbe same with the exception of the change of dates. Mrs. Lula Findley, wire of Mr. R. B Findley, died at her home in this city last Satnrday night, in the 26th year of her age. She contracted a severe cold two weeks ago which terminated in that fatal disease, meningitis, causing her death. Mrs. Find? ley was the fourth daughter of Mr. J. H. Jones, of Varennes Township, and a young lady of many noble virtues. About six years ago she was married to Mr. Findley, who with three little children are left to cherish the memory of a devoted wife and an affectionate mother. Ia her girlhood she joined the Baptist Church, and her daily life was that of a model Christian. She was loved by all of her friends, all of whom deeply regret her death. On Mon? day her remains were buried at Flat Rock Church, Rev. G. M. Rogers conducting the funeral services. In a note from onr clever friend, Mr. T. C. Shearer, who recent fy moved from this County to Sherman, Texa?, hesayc "I have about gotten fixed np to living in my new home, and am very well pleased with the country. I have never lived among a 'more clever or sociable people. They all seem to be in good heart, and I don't hear much cry of hard times. Sherman seems to be an educational center, and tbe schools are very superior. The weather during the fall was very dry here, and all the streams have dried np. I have experienc? ed too ''Northers" since I have been here, but they were not much worse than the cold spells you have in South Carolina Snmmlng up the advantages and disad? vantages of this County, I think this more preferable to the old State. I beg to be re? membered to all of my old friends." We know Mr. Shearer's old friends will be delighted to know that he is well pleased with hia new home. Last Sunday morning, after a long ill? ness, Mrs. Mary A. Simpson, the beloved wife of Mr. Thomas R. Simpson, died at her home in Pendleton Township, in the 56th year of her age. The deceased was afflicted with tbat terrible'disease, cancer, and her death has been expected at any time for several weeks past. Throughout her long illness she bore her affliction with that patience characteristic of a faith? ful Christian, and anxiously awaited tbe summons of death, to be bourne away to that eternal home, where there is no sor? row or pain. Mrs. Simpson was the eldest daughter of the late Ja me? Webb, and was a most excellent woman, being loved by a wide circle of friends, who will long cher? ish her memory. She was a devoted and zealous member of Mt. Zlon Presbyterian Churob, where her remains were interred on Tuesday morning, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. A. Wilson. She leaves a husband and four children, and in their sore bereavement they have the sympathies of their many dear friends.

On Monday night, 7 th inst., Mrs. Fannie Pruitt, wife of Mr. Joshua Prnitt, died at her home abDut four miles northeast of tbe city. She had been in feeble health for some time past, but was able to be up and attend to her domestic affairs nntil Friday night proceeding, when the was attacked with cholera morbus, which caus? ed her death, the announcement of which was a great shock to her loved ones and friends, many of whom did not know tbat she was ill.

In early life she joined the Methodist Cbnroh and died as she had lived, trusting in that Saviour whom she loved to serve.

May the richest blessings of Heaven orown your lives. A. C. Strickland. Obituary. On last Sabbath morning, Mrs. Mary Agnes Simpson, wife of Mr. T. K. Simp? son, "fell asleep in Jesus." Just as the doors of our earthly temples were opening to receive the worshipers of God, the min? istering angels threw wide open the pearly gates of the upper sanctuary and ushered her in and gave her a place among those who, like her, "had come out of great tribulation, and had washed their robes and made tbem white in the blood of the Lamb." She always appreciated and en? joyed the worship of the God she loved. Like David, "she was glad when they said to her, come let us go unto the house of the Lord." If the Sabbath was her delight here, how much more would she enjoy the Sabbath there Everything promised and hoped for hero, now enjoyed to the foil. "Thank God for me" was the last .request she made of friends herf i there, in the immediate presence of her Saviour, she can thonk Him as we could not; for now she nnderstands all, and knows that all things worked together for her good. She now realizes that her afflictions of earth, as protracted and severe as they were, are not worthy to be compared with the "ex? ceeding eternal weight of glory" into which she has entered. She was born November 11,1838, and was therefore, 5G years, two months and two days old. She leaves a husband, two daughters, two sonn and three sisters to mourn her loss. Many loving friends (for all who knew hf-i loved her) mingled their tears with relatives, for all felt that not only an affectionate wife, tender mother and sweet sister had been taken, but that a kind neighbor and warm friend bad gone. Our loss, though, is her gain, so we mur? iner not. "The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Pastor. ? The folly of prejudice is frequently shown by people who prefer to suffer for years rather than try an advertised remedy. The millions who have no such notions, take Ayer's Sarsacarilla for blood-diseases, and are oured. So muoh for common sense. Florida.

Pistol Practice in Edgefleld Columbia, S. C, January 15.?Colum? bia has been excited all day over the news of a shooting scrape at Edgefield yesterday afternoon betwoen Capt. J. S. Tillman, nepbew of ex-Governor B. R. Tillman, and Bernard B. Evans, ^brother of Governor Evans. For some reason, the news of the affair was suppressed in Edge field and did not reach here until today. Even now par? ticulars are meagre and the efforts of newspaper men to get the facts are not successful. It seems there has been a feud between Tillman and Evans for over a year. Tillman owed a debt and a few days ago Evans began suit on it. Yesterday after? noon the two young men met in the office of a lawyer to try and adjust their differ? ences. The feud was renewed and each drew a pistol and began shooting. The story is that Tillman shot first the bullet going through the hat of Evans. Each man fired three rounds at bis antagonist. Evans was shot in the right shoulder and Tillman in the cnin and in one side. Evans is not seriously hurt, and the ex? tent of Tillman's inj uries are not known. ?Special to Greenville News. Expenses at Clemson. Of late the Enquirer has received seve? ral inquiries as to the expense of attend? ing Clemson College. The proper source of such informal ion is President Craig head, Clemson College, but as we have just received a catalogue we take pleasure in giving the information therein con? tained. The first item of expense is for two uniforms, which cost ?28.40. Next comes quarterly expenses as follows: Board, including fuel, lights, etc, $15; washing, $1.50; medical attendance, $1.26; incidental fee, 50 cents; total $18, or $72 a year. The cost of books and stationery Is from $6 to $8. Everything most be paid cash in advance, but by working forty hours a month, agricultural stu? dents, who are paid at the rate of eight cents per hour, may earn $32 per year.
