Toere were colored boys and colored women and colored men and white men. There were configurations, cast* and expressions innumerable. Hav ing respect, however, for the liberties cus tom has engrafted upon the Christmas tide, bin Honor was lenient and many wore allowed to depart with a slight ad monition. Many plain simple drunks were dismissed, but where they were ac companied with disorderly conduct and swearing S3 CO was the maximum of leniency. A few caves of petty larceny bad to be dealt with, and when these were called tbe countenance of his Honor would darken and Sid or ?"i days was as low as leniency could go.

The many friends of Mies Annie L. Thornly -were shocked on the morning of Dec. 11th, when the news spread over the city that she was dead. She was but a little over eighteen years old but had made hosts of |friends. Annie took advantage of the public and private schools of thecity of Anderson, and as soon as age would permit she en tered Hartshorn Memorial College, Rich mond, Va., and pursued the eoorse there for four years. She was only hindered from graduation last session by the conrse being lengthened. She joined the St. Pam Baptist Church when a mere child, but was one of the most faithful members and met death with that firmness and calm, Christian .zeal that marked her entire life. She was loved, trusted and commended by all who dealt with her. Pastors, teachers, schoolmates, friends and all who knew Annie loved and admired her. She was modest and unassuming, yet faithful and expert when any duty was entrusted to her.' She died in full triumph of faith and none who knew her doubts that she is safe with the One she so early learned to love. We all extend sympathy and ask to be permitted to share with her parents and relatives in their grief. The funeral services wera held in the St. Paul Baptist Church of this city. Rev. .7. C. Jackson, her pastor, assisted by the other pastor, officiated. E. V. GASSAWAT. A Clover Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it.
