The mail ervice on trains No. 21 1 and 22 on the C., N. & L. road between & Columbia and Laurens, for which the people till along the lin have been working, seems now to be assured. The train is now carying looked Huni'pouches, but it has been decided to put a messenger on these trains. The Columbia Record of Wednesday afternoon says: Mr. L. M. Therrell, tile superintend ent of railway mail service for this territory, and Mr.'J. A. Meets, the as sistant siperintendent, were in Colum bia yesterday in conference with Mr. W. G. ClAilds, president of the Co hunbia, Newberry and Laurens rail road, relative to the establishment of an additional mail service between Columbia and Laurens over this route, about which a good deal has been said recently. It was decided to put tile desired servi(e in operation with a messenger on trains No. 21 and No. 22, which is what was asked for by the people of Laurens and intermediate points. This mail will leave Laurens at 7 a. m., arriving- inl Columbia at 10.30 a. m., and returning will leave at 5.20 p. i., arriving in Laurens at 9 p. mi. It was not iln tile power of Mir Ther rell to grant compensation to the rail road for this service, but Mr. Childs will apply to the second assistant postmaster general, asking that com pensation he allowed. If this is re llsed by tle postoffice aut horities, the inail will be handled by the Co h11nnhia, Newberry and Laurens rail road without compensationi until the expiration of its present contract ill .JflY. 1908, two years t'roi now. The establishillelnt ot' this plan will I not iliterl't-re with the present excellent service. i'iless tie road is allowed pay for these mails it will be -ivillu doIblie erri le or the same pay, as at pres ent. and thite greatest probaility of hiss which is counted in bv the rail road is tile dam"ages for which roadd mitht he liable inl cas-e of all accident lo the inai clerk. Laurens will have three mails ill and the same number out of her gates every day except Sunday, instead of only one a few weeks ago. Joint Picnic.

Edward Lee, son of Mr. aild Mrs. John P. Kinard, was born February 5, 1873, and departed this life July 15, 1906, aged 33 years, 5 months and 10 days. Job says, ''Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. ' This was certainly the life of poor Eddie. His whole life was full of af flietions. From time to time I have visited him and I have never seen any On1e Who bor afflictions with such patience and Christian faith as t lie deecased. He has said to me at dif fereit liimes that le knew it would he far better for- him if God would call him home to rest and all the dread he had of deoath was to he separated from the priesenee of his parents, bro thers, sisi ers and friends. Think of living a whole life of t hir' ty-t hree years, in the furnace of a f fl icitionts, tO be cut off from all the pleastures of eartlhi; to think of living surh at life is enough to make our1 very souls within us shudder. But wetnmst r'emiemrber' that God's way is not ourii waly, mYd1( we' must not ques ion his de'alings with his p)eople. God put Eddie' here for a purp'lose, he had amissionm to fill, and hLw (do we know but w~htat that mission may 1)0 the means of' savintg manity souls? Such t hiunus dlon 't. ha p,pen by3 chance. Thecy. aire dirie'tedi by God, andi lie kept this aif'flict ed soul alive until thle purify itig prI,Eoes was comnpletedl. Theni lie said, it is emnugh, comae up hiigher'. God lhts."crt ain ly mani fested his pro'4 muise in this aff'liction. ''As thy days are, so shall they st.rengthi be.'' Tlhe li fe oft the deceased5 was fatmil iar to a lrige circle who are niow liv'ing andti evpry3 oie of usshiould keep.1 it f'resh ini our minemrories as a means Of' L'raee to helph us on to God. Eddhie heeld his membership att Bach man Chapel Evangelical Lutheran ('hur'ch and lhe lived and died true to the Lutheran faith. By his request, llev. J7. A. Sligh preached his funeral and his pastor, Rev J. C: Wessinger', was also present and condneted scrip t;,ral readling anmd burial sei'vices. The body was laidh to rest in the family burying ground near the home.
