In Mr. John Crisp's home on Easter Sabbath the joyous wedding bells rang out of happy hearts. Now on the first of August the sad funeral dirge gives forth its mdurnful note. Yes. the sweet spirit of a loved one takes its flight to its eternal home. Sixteen years ago two little girl babies, Eunice and Mamie. were precious gifts to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crisp. Fondly they were cared for while passing through youth into young womanhood. As worthy young women they were much pleasure to their parents, but now one is not. Miss Eunice was laid to rest in Bush River church graveyard. She and her twin sister, Mrs. Henderson, joined this church three years ago. a fact which gives great comforc to the bereaved. It gives a hope beyond the grave, for the faithful shalt "see the King in His beauty." Rev. Mr. Burton officiated at the funeral. Miss Eunice loved the Sab bath school and her church. She was much esteemed by her friends, was a dutiful pupil to her teacher, and a kind and affectionate child in her 'amily. She suffered five long weeks with fever, during which time she wvas carefully treated by Dr. Kibler and most of the time skillfully nursed by .Miss Belle Williams. With all tha: human aid could do to cure, God'si good will was that she should *.o, and now we can only sympathize with the family, cherish the memory of the departed and lay a flower on her grave. -For this through its leaves Hath the white rose burst, For this in the woods WVas the violet nursed." J. A. L. POISON WAS IN TURKEY EGG. And it Caused the Death of the Negro Who Stole It. Columbia, Aug. 7.-According to a letter recelived 'by t'he governor from J. M. Ward, a prominent citizen of Wards on the Augusta r-oad, an in vestigationi is wanted of a mysteri os case of poisoning which took place near -there some time ago. It seems, according to t-he letter. that a litle negro boy, a son of a negro named Jim Ryan, ate a turkey egg which h'e had stolen from a nest and died a few hours afterwa.rds. An examinattion of tihe egg showed t'h-at there was strychn:ine in it and that it had evidently beten prepared for this very purpose. However, the cor oner was 'ill and the .investigation made by h:is substitute was a very ordinary charact-er, so no arrests have been made. These facts, as set for@. in the let ter has led to the whole thing being placed in the hiands of the solicitor with instructions to push the investi gation. Mr. Ward comments rather critically on the fact that solicitors have not been very industrious in lookng into such matters and th-at if the case were investigated a suir prise would follow.
