Several days before sbe was stricken down, she dreamed that she was soon to be taken sick anc' that her sickness would result in death; sbe said nothing of this until after sbe took sick, wbeu her mother was told of her dream, and said sbe fully expected her deatb. Dr. Hough was called, and did all in his power to restore her health. Ouly a few weeks ago an older sister'a death caused ths family great sorrow, and this, a second affliction, in so short a time, is in deed a great blow ; but sad as it is, a big! ..' power bas caused it, and all hi for the bust. The dece-ised was a few month* over twenty years of age; a true lady in every senne; kind gentle aud noble, and au earnest Cori?iiau. She j lined tbe Presbyterian church, at this pluce, at tbe ag6 of sixteen, aud was held in high es teem by everybody ; and, though gone to a better land where all is love, sbe has left behind a world of loving friends.

During her long illness she b jre her sc. ler inga with Christian patience and forti ide, and when tbe Angel of Death came for her she was willing aud ready to go. She ^vas about 82 years of age, and, until her nealth failed, was a remarkably active, vigorous woman. Her maiden name was Williams, a native of Greenville County, an'i was married to Capt.

Last Saturday was Memorial Day, and the exercises of the occasion were never more appropriate or interesting in An derson. MIhs Lenora Hubbard, tbe en ergetlo President of tbe Ladies Memorial Association, determined to make the exercises instructive and impressive and, with the assistance of other mem bers of the Association, accomplished that purpose. At 11 o'clock a. rc. the Anderson Cor net Band began playing at the Court House, whore the vetorann gathered, and commanded by Col. J. N. Brown, marob ed to the Opera House, eacorted by Camp W W* Humphreys, Sons of Confederate Veterans, and occupied the seats reserved for them. The building was crowded to its utmost capacity. Mr. J. M. Sullivan acted as master of tbe exercises, which were opened with prayer by Col. Joh B. Patrick. When the stage was exposed to view in tbe center thereof was a typical sol dier's grave, which had been improvised of sod, around which were soon gathered twenty-five little boys and girls. They came in one at a time, and, after reciting appropriate little poems, laid tbe beautl ful flowers which they bore on the grave Large pictures of the grand old heroes Lee and Jackson, were brongbt in by two of the little boys, and, after a few words in reference to eaoh of them, the pictures were deposited by the side of the grave This portion of the exercises was exceed ingly novel and Impressive, and, finally when an old battle flag was brought in and laid on the grave and the Band play ed "Dixie," the old "rebel yell" resound ed through the bulldinjr. The program was con tinned as follows Chorn8-"Sleep, Soldier?, Sleep." Address, by Col. Henry D. Capers. Chorus, "Columbia, fair Columbia." Oration, by Col. J. t*. Cothran.

We regret exceedingly that our limited space prevents us from giving even a synopsis of tbe oration and tbe speeches of the other gentlemen. All were elo quent and interesting. At tbe conclusion of the exercises in the Opera House, it was announced that tbe Association had prepared a dinner, the proceeds of which would go to the Monument fund, and that tbe Veterans were invited to attend this dinner as the guests of the Association. It was certainly a grand feast, and tbe Veterans apprecia ted tbe hospitality that had been extend ed to tbem. At 5 o'clock p. m. nearly 500 children assembled at the Graded School building loaded down with wreaths and flowers, and, led by tbe teachers, under the es cort of the Cadets of tbe Patrick Military Institute, marched to tbe three Church yards, and then to Silver Brook Ceme tery, where all tbe graves of tbe sleeping Soldiers were covered with flrwers. In the Presbyterian Churchyard are a num ber of graves of Federal soldiers, and they were covered with beautiful flowers. At each Churchyard the Cadets fired a mil itary salute of three rounds. NOTES. The Association realized about $90 net from the dinner.

Tbe beautiful battle-ship cake, made to. represent the old "Alabama," which was presented by Mrs. Sallie Crayton, was awarded to Mr. Richard Leugblin, who held tbe lucky number. Mr. Langhlin presented the caketothe Association, and it was disposed of again, Mr. R. L. Rob iuBon being tbe lncky man. Thie cake turned into the treasury $22.70. In the Baptist Churchyard a few of tbe noble ladies bad erected a typical monu ment surmounted with a large cross, doci le'ted to tbe memory of "Our Heroes who Bleep in Distant Graves." It was cover r.-i with flowers and evergreens by the Children. In his speech, Hon. J. E. Breazeale pleaded eloquently for the site of tbe Court House for the site of tbe proposed monument. Hon. J. S. Cothran alluded to a little incident in which a distinguished and patriotio citizen (whose name he did not call) of a neighboring County was a par ty to, and at tbe conclusion of his ora tion, three cheers were proposed by a veteran to Hon. Samuel McGowan, of Abbeville, and it was responded to by tbe entire audience. J. K. Hood, Esq.. who spoke in behalf of tbe Sons, explained tbe objects of bis Camp, and was loudly cheered and warm ly congratulated by his friends after wards. Ifow, in conclusion, who will be the first man to subscribe $100 to tbe fund ? Excursion to Charleston. As heretofore announced, we have ar rant_ei to run an excursion train to Charleston.
