Wife of Sheriff N. M. Buford Dies Af ter Long Illness-Good Wo man. Mrs. Sallie Boll Buford. wife Sheriff M. M. Buford, died at aboiLt 10.1-5 o'clock Saturday morning at her home in this city, after a linger ing illness of tuberculosis, in the si\ tieth year of her age, and was buri-d Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Fair view church cemetery, service con ducted by the Rev. D. P. Boyd, assisted by the Revs. M. L. Banks and G. A.' Wright. Mrs. 'uford was a member of Sar dis ::reh. in L.:rens county. Siw kept 7nr mrship in tat ch-ich although frequently urged to change it, after leaving the neighborhood, but. she invariably answered that it was: her desire to keep her membership where her mother's was. She was the daughter of the late James ai! Polly Bell, of Laurens county. Mr. M. M. Buford and Miss Sallie A. Bell were married March 15, 1870. She was a .devout Christian and had many fine traits of character which endeared her: to the hearts of all who knew her. During the time of her long illness she bore her trials with great patience and meekness, exhibiting the strong forti tude of a dying saint, prepared for 'death. A good woman is dead. She "went through the world living quietly, de voted to the interests of those who were dear to her, but she is missed from her wonted place, her work is done and she is gone." Much of the latter part of her earthly life, due to ill health, "was spent in the valiey, beneath the clouds of suffering and sorrow." Her long sickness and the expected death which came to her re-: lief, reminds one of the beautiful inci dent "an Alpine traveller tells of climbing one of the mountains in a dense, dripping fog, and standing at last in the clear air, under a cloudless sky. In the valley below him lay the fog like an ocean of white vapor, and he could hear the chiming of bells, the lowing of cattle, and the sounds of labor coming up from the villages that were hidden beneath. Now and then a bird would dart up out of the mist, fly about a little while in the joyous sun shine, sing a few notes of sweet song, and then fly down again and disap pear." The subject of this sketch was long in the valley. How like a bird her released spirit has soared into the radiant sunlight and disappeared in: the unseen regions of eternal peace and rest. A mother dies, and it has been said by some writer that when a gentle mother goes out of a home the loss indeed seems irreparable. But there comes this thought, as so tender ly and truthfully breathed by Dr. J.. R. Miller in his Year Book: "Heaven: Snot far away. One of the chariots' -from the King's country came dowL; that day to carry Elijah home. An other came to the door of your house' when the baby died, or when father or mother or brother or sister died." 'To die? it is to rise To fairer, brighter skies, Where death no more shall his dread1 harvests reap; To soar on angel wings Where life immortal springs, For so he giveth his beloved sleep." There is a cmofort in that and in this: "One cold autumn day I saw an empty bird's next on a tree. It looked desolate and forsaken. But I kne N the birds that once were there were living yet, living no win the warm South, beyond the reach of winter's storms, and singing there their sweet songs. There is an empty love nest in many a home, in many a heart, but we know that the dear one who is gone is living with God in heaven." Mrs. Buford sleeps. It is the quiet, restful sleep that knows no earthly waking. The sympathy of the public: Is natural and right in its bestowal up on the troubled hearts of a sorrowing household, yet such sympathy is, mingled with consolation to the be-: Sreaved in that their sorrow, of a night's duration, may and will be turned into the joy of an eternal morning under 'the hand of resignation and patience. At the funeral there was a great' throng, and the flowers were there in abundance to show the love and re spect held for the departed one. The surviving children are: Messrs. Will T. and G. Fair Buford, of the, Bush River section, Mrs. W. W. Crom er, of Newberry, Mr. R. Hayne Buford, of the Southern railway service, Messrs. Pope L. and Munson L., and .Miss Sallie Bell Buford, of Newberry. Tnhappy Mronsters. A wvomn passer!aer on a transat h:tce ling' bo+hered the officers an<l hundred times a day she asked to be called if one was sighted. "But, mada:n," expostulated the cap tain, finally, "why are you so anxious about this whale question?" "Because," she -replied, "all my life Fve wanted to see a whale blnhher."' aldwel ILI rates.-t Ever Show Tuesday morning the i weeks were spent in Ne collection of Fashion's values'face to face grea Dress Goods.
