Todd brought in Cunningham, having
arrested him in Abbeville County. Un
?iis person they found some babbit
metal and several counterfeit dollars,
and at his home more of them were se
cured. No molds or tools were found.

long term in the penitentiary this time.
Death of an Excellent Woman.
A gloom is cast over our community
by the unexpected death of Mrs. Mag
gie Major, the beloved wife of Mr. Joe.
W. Major. She had been in bad health
for some lime, but was not confined to
tho bed but about live days, when heart
failure supervened and sho passed
away from earth to heaven at 5 p. m.
on the 12th. She was buried Monday
at Sandy Springs, amid a concourse of
sorrowing friends. Kev. 11. E. Stack
house, her pastor, conducted tho fun
eral services. She was about fifty
years old, and leaves a husband and
live children, one of whom is Mrs.
John Pruitt, of Kock Mills, to mourn
their irreparblo loss. She had been
for many years a member of the Meth
odist Church, and was a noblo Chris
tian woman, whom to know was to
love. All are ready to proclaim how
well she tilled her duties in life as wife,
mother and neighbor. Sho spoko ill of
no one, and no one spoke any ill of her.
The example of her sweet, gentle life
has left its impress on many, and the
world j s better for her having lived in
it. The sympathy of many friends
goes out to the husband and children
and only sister, Mrs. William MeWhor
ter, who are so deeply bereaved by her
death. Many days they will "long for
the touch of a vanished hand, and the
sound of a voice that is still." Muy the
heavenly Father comfort them.
