Sho had boon in feeble health for several moni hs, hui was not confined to lier room until about two weeks ago, when she re ceived a slight stroke of. paralysis, which was followed by another last Friday. Though helpless from thc li ist stroke, she remained conscious almost to the last moment, and passed away as if quietly going to sleep. Mrs. McCully was a daughter of thc late Robert.

The family have the sympathy of many friends here and elsewhere in their sore bereavement. The funeral services will be conduct ed to-morrow morning nt tho Pres byterian Church by tho pastor, Kev. J. N. H. Summerei, and the remains will be laid to rest in the churchyard. - . mm Williamson Items.

Death of T. E. Hampton. Mr. T. K. Hampton died nt his home in Abbeville County on Monday, April 2!J. Ho had been in feeble health for several months, being conilncd to his room a good portion of the time, where ho suffered greatly from a complication of diseases. He bore his illness with patieuce characteristic of a true Chris tian, and was fully prepared to meet the summons. The funeral services were held at Rocky River Baptist, Church on Tuesday, tho 24th. They were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. B. Herron, in the presence of a large congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives. At the conclusion of the ser vices the remains wero laid to rest in tho churchyard to await the resurrec tion morn. Mr. Hampton was a son of tho late Washington Hampton. In early lifo ho married a Miss Milford, a daughter of Creg Milford. This happy pair was blessed with six children, four of whom survive the deceased and aro still nt home with their mother.

Ho 'had been a consistent member of tho Baptist Church for many years, his membership being nt Midway Baptist Church, wheru he had filled the oillce of deacon in honor to himself and cause. But his work on earth is done and while wo miss him in the home and in tito Church, lotus believe that our loss is Heaven's gain, and let us be sub missive to Him who doeth all things well, for his death is liko tho sun that has set in tho evening and left its gen tle rays upon us that will rise again in tho dawning with all the brightness of tho morning.

PUELLAE. .. ' '. \ i, ., ? 'j . , '-. . " ; Some OM Matters. Mit. Wurroit: Wt; copy tin; fol lt? wing from "Tim Anderson Intelligencer," of October?, 1800, which will doubtless interest manv of your readers of t<> day: The Markets. Anderson, Sept. 2?, 1801?. Cotton market quiet at 22 to 28i; Corn, $1.00 to $1.7.'*; Peas, $1.40 to $1.50; liat?n, 20 to 85; Flour, $8.00 to $12.00; Wheat, $1.50 to $1.75; Oats, $1.00. Hy Tuesday Evening's Mail. Augusta, Oct. 4, 1801?. Cotton market opened linn at 25 for middling, but closed weak and f to *c. lower, with sales of 400 bales-receipts 470. Charleston, Oct. 4, 180? Cotton firmer-advanced i to fe; sales, 425 bales, middlings 25* to25fi; receipts, 1,010. New York, Oct. 4, 18(5?. Cotton lirmer and closed quiet with sales of 2,800 bales at 28c. In the same issue we notice au article headed " H nil road Meeting," which meeting was "to take into considera tion the propriety of nilling in the con struction of the Air Line Railroad," with a view of securing its location through the city of Anderson. James h. Orr, who was chairman of the meet ing, says of the speech delivered by Hon. J. I?. Heed oil the resolutions of fered and adopted: "In supporting this preamble and resolutions, Mr. Heed made an earnest and effective speech, detailing the history of tho enterprise from its inception to the present time, and impressing the audience with the necessity for action on the part of the citizens of Anderson." Dr. W. C. Brown proposed to make one of one hundred persons to subscribe $500 "ach at the proper time to the cap ital stock of the Air Line Railroad. This proposition was accepted by Maj. G. VV. Cox and others. We of the present day can seo how near the A. L. R. lt. is to us, and those who attended those meetings can soe their folly in not raising tho required amount to secure the road. The Intelligencer was then in the hands of Hoyt & Co. This writer has several copies of Tho Intelligencer that was printed during 1800 and 1870, and they afford interesting reading. Respectfully, W. C. BARNETT. Soptus, S. C., April 30. Holland's Items. Everybody and everything moving this pretty weather. There wh'l be a grand picnic nt Ev ergreen bridge lit st Saturday in May.

We claim that... Mastic Mixed Paint IB the BEST, because it has lead and zinc as a base, in the proper propor tions to get the best results, and is ground in pure linseed oil. It is honestly made ; the same to-day, to-morrow and all time. It is absolutely pure, and contains no whiting, chalk, barytes or other adulterant. It dries with a beau tiful gloss finish, not possible to obtain with hand-made paints. It has great er covering capacity than any paint on the market. It has been tried and tested for twenty years. It is not an experiment, but is the leading paint wherever sold. f In support of the above statements, we beg to call attention to the anal* vsis and our guarantee. One of the strongest points in favor of Mastic Paint is the fact that the United States Government is using it on the forts and poets .in Texas and the Mexican frontier, in a climate the most trying of any in the country on paints.
