John McFall lies critically ill at his home in the city of Greenville. He is the oldest child of Andrew Nor ris McFall, deceased, of TTigh Shoals, this County, and is one of the most re markable men the County ever pro duced. He was a Captain of a Compa ny from Manon County, Fla., during the civil war, and lost the use of his right arm by a wound for the "Lost Cause." His many friends in this sec tion will regret to hear of his illness. During the early part of the present session of the Legislature, a bill was introduced providing that all swine dying of disease should be cremated. When the bill came up on its second reading, Representative R. B. A. Rob inson secured the floor and said that among many objections he might ad vance against the bill there was one which should appeal to every free born American, and which he thought should be sufficient to kill the bill. His ob jection was that it would be robbing the commissary ot' the bird which stood next to the American Eagle-the buz zard. The bill was killed. Lust Friday night, in Garvin Town ship, Sam Williams and Moses Brown, with several othernegro boys, were out hunting, when one of them bet he would kill more birds than any other member of the party. One word fol lowed another, until Brown pulled his pistol and fired, the ball striking Wil liams and killing him. Magistrate T. T. Wakefield held an inquest on Satur day, and after a thorough investiga tion the jury returned a verdict of ac cidental killing. The boy was dis charged, but as there is some dissatis faction about the verdict, the Grand Jury will probably take up the case and let the Court of General Sessions pass upon it. Mrs. Lucretia Carpenter, wife of Mr. A. A. Carpenter, died at her home in Broadway Township last Thursday af ternoon. For a long time she had been confined to her bed with that ever-fatal disease, consumption, but she bore her sufferings with that patience charac teristic of a devoted Christian, and when the summons Caine she was ready and anxious to go. Mrs. Carpenter was about 4(5 years of age, and was the youngest daughter of thc late Thos. Geer. La her girlhood she joined the Neal's Creek Church, and throughout her life was a most consistent member. One Saturday her remains were laid to rest in t ue Neal's Creek churchyard the funeral services being conducted by Rev. 0. J. Copeland, in the presence of many sorrowing friends and relatives. A husband and four children are left to cherish her memory. Ash Wednesday falls upon the 15th of February this year, which is unusu ally early. And Easter, therefore, will have come before the springtime is fairly started. Last year Easter fell upon the 10th of April. This year it will fall upon the 2d-earlier than for five years. In 1880 it fell upon the 25th -the latest it ever comes. And this will not occur again until 1943. As the date of Easter is fixed by calculating the first Sunday after the first full moon after thc 22d of March, the festi val can occur as early as the 23d of March, and has actually done so. In 1788 it fell upon that date and also in 1845, 1851!, and in 101:5 it will be repeat ed. In 1S!)4 Easter came upon the 29th of March, which proved to be the cold est and most inclement day of the win ter. All the various trees preparing for appearing in spring attire were frozen and the services in the churches were scantily attended. As the festi val also comes comparatively early this year, there is some uneasiness lest his tory repeats itself in this respect. m . m In Memoriam. SAMUEL XAUUIN 13 AK KU. Tile angel children who surround the blessed Saviour have welcomed to their midst another little one. With out stretched hands they bore to the loving .Jesus' arms the baby spirit of little Nardin. On the wings of the mighty wind which raged on Feb. 15th, 1898, and ?illy those who have daily watched and loved a little baby know how complete ly he filled the hearts midlives of those to whom he was "Our baby." Hut .lesus, too, loved this little child, and had need of him. On Feb. 3, 1899, the little spirit joined the happy band of those dear children who shall never know sorrow, or pain. There he waits his mid ber's coming, always her angel baby. A little while frail mortals mourn their absent loved ones, then comes a glad reunion, and, free from earthly hindrances, we shall know our Father doeth only what is best. A Lovixn SVMI'ATIIIZKI;.
